    hi, i always love my fps games and lately i've been playing tf2, bf2, cod4... yet always in the back of my head theres been somethin tellin me to buy css and/or dods... i appreciate the input u guys usually give me on here so im wondering, if i play these games (tf2 and cod4) that have stellar graphics, should i get cs:s or dod:s? are they worth the money to be playing online? do the graphics really bring the game down that much? ultimately, SHOULD I BUY THEM?

    plz give me ur input on if i should get these games or if u have any good knowledge on these games.

    thank u.

    CS:S to me looks better then DoD:S but CS:S gets boring for me in about 30mins - 1hr while I could play DoD:S for 5+ hrs. DoD:S is a much more team based game compared to CS:S (fast short games) and is more like TF2 (DoD:S). When playing with 32 people (2 balanced teams) a game could last for hours (my longest game was about 3hrs, but that might be a turn off for some people). I would personally recommend DoD:S, CS:S is fun but it gets really old real fast (IMO).

    DODS runs wonderfully on my laptop. It's also a great game if you're into WWII shooters and running and gunning type fps's. If you'r notebook can run those games smoothly then you should be able to run DOD:S on high's effortlessly. My laptop ain't the best but it does the job. Anyways, if you're wanting to get DOD:S then go for it.

    DOD:S and CS:S are both still amazing looking games.

    And the gameplay is nearly unmatched for competitiveness.

    I don't like CS:S that much (maybe because I'm not the best player and have to keep waiting until next round :p or because I don't think the game is that fun), I play TF2 and find it fantastic, and I'm also thinking of getting DOD.
