What $20 EA Game Should I get?

I got a coupon from EA for one of their $20 games, and need some help making a choice. I've narrowed it down to a few options :

Command Conquer 4 : Tiberium Twilight
(I like RTS's, but I would mainly play the single player/skirmish)

Command and Conquer : The First Decade
Command & Conquer™ (Aug. 1995)
Command & Conquer The Covert Operations™ (April 1996)
Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ (Oct. 1996)
Command & Conquer Red Alert Counterstrike™ (Mar. 1997)
Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ The Aftermath™ (Sept. 1997)
Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ (Aug. 1999)
Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ Firestorm (Feb. 2000)
Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 2 (Oct. 2000)
Command & Conquer™ Yuri's Revenge™ (Oct. 2001)
Command & Conquer Renegade™ (Feb. 2002)
Command & Conquer™ Generals (Feb. 2003)
Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour (Sept. 2003)

Medal of Honor Anniversary Edition
1) Allied Assault
2) Spearhead Expansion
3) Breakthrough Expansion
4) Pacific Assault
(I like FPS's. I would probably play only the single player)


Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Stay away from Tiberium Twilight They removed base building and resource gathering and now it's all about army spamming. It's nothing like the awesome Tiberium Wars at all

The fights feels much slower paced too...

 

MoH: Allied Assault - one of the greatest FPSs ever, it's on my top game list along with Half-Life.
That bundle is the best deal out of the three, it includes every PC MoH game except for MoH (2010). You forgot about Airborne in that list, which isn't that great but it should keep you busy for a while. Plus you will also get the soundtrack, which is pretty awesome, how can you say no to soundtrack like this:

If you don't mind the outdated graphics and game mechanics, then go for MoH.

Personally I would go for the retail version with a nice box:
Amazon.com: Medal of Honor 10th Anniversary Bundle: Windows XP: Video Games

 

If you're getting a $20 game for free my vote also goes with the MoH Pack.

 

Thanks for the warning.

It looks like MoH is off the table because EA doesn't have a digital copy...

On the other hand, what are your opinions on Counter Strike : Source?

 

medal of honor pack. Or get the first decade ^^ awesome collection but that might be only 10 bucks now

 

I could try the physical copy of MoH. Although I am interested in if you think Command and Conquer : The First Decade is worth it? Has it aged well? The both have lengthy single player campaigns which is what I am really looking for.

 

CS:Source is just like the normal CS except with prettier skins and stuff ._. You'll probably end up going back to BFBC2

 

That's kind of what I thought too. It seems to be kind of an elitist's game now anyway.

 

Here are the games that come in the Command and Conquer : The First Decade edition.

Command & Conquer™ (Aug. 1995)
Command & Conquer The Covert Operations™ (April 1996)
Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ (Oct. 1996)
Command & Conquer Red Alert Counterstrike™ (Mar. 1997)
Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ The Aftermath™ (Sept. 1997)
Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ (Aug. 1999)
Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ Firestorm (Feb. 2000)
Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 2 (Oct. 2000)
Command & Conquer™ Yuri's Revenge™ (Oct. 2001)
Command & Conquer Renegade™ (Feb. 2002)
Command & Conquer™ Generals (Feb. 2003)
Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour (Sept. 2003)

Despite their age, are these games still enjoyable? I know the graphics are going to suffer, but do they have good stories?

 

Also, CSS is kinda... More noob friendly. I feel that playing CSS is MUCH easier than CS 1.6.

 

Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge are really good. Generals is quite okay too. Don't know about the rest. But they should keep you busy for quite a bit :3

 

I'm really looking for a single player that will keep me busy for a while so C&C: The First Decade looks like the best option. Thanks for all the help!

 

Anytime! Oh and, enjoy your stay in NBR!

 

C&C Generals is quite good, especially the earlier stuff. Generals is my all-time fav RTS to date. No it's not completely balanced and a little silly and ridiculous at times, but I love the super weapons. Nothing beats a good beatdown by a dozen nuclear silos or particle cannons. Love Colonel Burton too Would love to see special units like that in Starcraft 2.

 

Command Conquer 4 : Tiberium Twilight

Spectacular multiplayer game. 5v5 is THE funnest RTS experience I've ever had. I used to be in the world top 25, however I dropped real fast when MSI took 5 weeks to fix my bloody laptop, so I wasn't competitive thereafter.

Single player is bad. Skirmish is fun. Multiplayer is insanely fun.

Besides #4, #3/KW is great as well as Generals/ZH.

Generals 2 is in the works and should be released in 2012 (as per rumours)

Edit: Alot of people flame C&C4 b/c of the different style of gameplay and most of the people I faced climbing up the ladder weren't that good because they're used to spamming 1-2 unit types. Some people just couldn't adapt to the changes so they just gave up and called it bad.

 

Drool...

Really? AWESOME! I'll be buying that one for certain. Well, as long as it isn't a big pile of donkey dung like EA has been making the C&C franchise lately.

 

It's actually being made by a different studio under the EA umbrella somewhere in Eastern Europe

Going to have fresh ideas and views ...hopefully good ones. I'd love to be a unit designer for them.

 

oh no. Fresh ideas and views? That never works out. Usually means console...

 

Argh, I tried to find information on General 2, but everything is speculation and rumours ...nothing concrete yet

 

Hah yeah, that was some of the most fun I've had with a buddy - a compstomp 2v6, where he would more or less throw everything he had into stalling the ai so I could build 20 silos and turret defenses, then he'd run a constructor deep into my safe base and rebuild when his was lost. I just wish that game had less sync errors

 

Yeah, we did the same thing, lol. AI was pretty competent. But yeah, now that you mention it, sync errors ticked us off enough times. Heck even over a LAN we would get it periodically. Game just quits. lol. Ah, good times. I just hope they capture the essence of the original game.

 

i love the first decade.. i grow up playing those games and for the longest time i couldn't play them because they only worked on 95/98 but the first decade made them work for XP and it was great playing them...remember the first ones were the first of its kind. Don't expect any kind of short cuts in the originals lol. Also generals has some cool mods with new generals and new units. so give that a shot. I loved the first decade but i am extremeely bias of C&C. if you got some friends that like C&C than you got a great little party pack there....i remember the 2 days streight of generals and others lol

EDIT: favs are afterman...chrono tanks and mamoth tanks muahahaha and the orginal and generals

Side note a great game to play is empire earth 1...me and my friend had the most uber plan batters. he had this huge air feild on an isle with tons of AA and i couldn't bomb it so i made 13 airfeilds with 20 nuke plans and crap tons of bombers...i was like guess what your dead and i was like muahahahahhaahhahaha. I luanched all of them and the game when uber slow and he was liek HOLY CRAP! and i blow up half his base and THEN!!!! FREEZE!!!! I was so mad! lol Great times

 

My vote goes to the Medal of Honor pack. I've played through every single game in that pack, and I loved them all. Definitely top-notch SP campaigns, something the MoH series has always been very good at.
