    OK I really like the battlefield series with their vehicles and big maps and stuff, but I don't know if I should get Battlefield Bad Company 2 right now and stick with that for the rest of the year or wait and get some other game like starcraft 2 or even battlefield 3, which I think might come out this year? I like RTS games, but the only one out there that seems like it's going to be fun is starcraft 2. Are there any other big releases coming out this year? (not interested in diablo 3, ff14) btw I have Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2, and Supreme commander 2 and CC4 don't look very appealing.

    I'm also only going to get one game because I want to focus on one game instead of spending too much time on many games.

    What would you guys do?

    (if I do get bad company 2, I'll be running it on my laptop with p8400, 4GB ram, and a 9600m GT)

    Get all of them?

    Bad Company 2 on that rig will most likely be low - medium settings as well, it seems like quite a demanding game.

    Don't forget about some of the older titles too (BattleZone 2). Many of them are even better than the new releases. Battlefield BC2 is great but some one said they completed the Single Player in 5 hours. For a casual gamer like myself it will take a lot longer so consider what type of gamer you are.

    well if I'm going to get BC2, the main part of the game will be the multiplayer for me.
