    i have css, l4d, battlefield 2, unreal tounement 3, and fallout 3(never really got into it like i did oblivion.)

    i love all these games to death but i'm missing my call of duty games.

    I played call of duty 4 and 5 forever on my 360.

    actually i had just bought call of duty 5 about 2 weeks before.......
    my mom smashed my xbox 360 and i sold all of my games.

    I have to say i like cal of duty 4 better on 360 but it got boring after a while so i started playing cod5.

    which one should i get for computer?which one has more servers and is better?

    Agreed. Also starting a petition to not be helpful at all until this question is answered.

    But yeah, why not pick up Call of Duty World at War for the PC?

    If you have the chance, I would suggest picking up a PS3. Used if you're low on cash.

    Killzone 2 is being released on this month, there are some other great fps games like Resistance series.

    It is awesome

    I'm not really into games that scare me.
    But for some reason I'm really into it. [maybe I'm changing :p]

    Playing it at the moment and it's a load of fun, somewhat tense as well :D :D

    Also, looking forward to FEAR 2 and planning to get L4D

    Hope this helps

    You mention that you have BF2, have you ever tried out BF2142? Some people don't like the sci-fi element of it, but I personally like it the most out of all the games in the BF franchise. Also, try out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, they have a good fun-factor to them.

    no lol thats the thing I have a 4.5 gpa ect get really good grades hard classes extra. But kinda like playing video games more than exercising(im not fat, im really skinny just for reference lol) and as my parents put it. getting a job and looking at colleges and studying for the SAT(which i hate greatly and never do very good on it. taken it twice) I just played games for 2 weeks on christmas.

    im not going back to console anytime soon. Im fine with this computer.

    back on topic

    I played fear 2 demo(scared the hell out of me)
    im definatly getting it tuesday

    got dead space for my birthday
    (not as scary as fear 2 but still at the "scared the hell" out of me level....not the "scared the hell " out of me level though)

    CoD4 > CoD5 on the PC.
    L4D is a nice game.
    Haven't tried the others yet.
    And for a heads up, i'd recommend leaving your g50vt hidden ;] do you want it to turn out like your xbox? :p

    F.E.A.R. 2, I just so the trailer... and I have to admit I am getting too old, too scared, too I do not know what, because honestly I cannot understand what kind of entertainment can be found in "playing" a game which's sole intension is to scare me to death...

    Honestly apart from M rating it should get a warning concerning people with heart problems, as is the case in the horror room in Madame Tussaud's wax museum...

    On the other hand I might just be getting old... :p

    Because you don't normally get the feeling? Lol, sort of.

    I don't know how to explain but its like you got scare the sh!t out of you during the game but once you finish it... "Oh my god lets do that again :D"

    Well my mom wont smash this because it cost so much(a lloooooot more than the core xbox 360) my dad would never smash it, maybe sell it.


    its the adrenaline rush lol. the first time I went down that abandoned school hallway in fear 2 demo....omg i was so scared. Then the lockers started to open and close and i just ran lol. then the dead woman would flash in front of me and i would run and keep my finger on the trigger. Play it with headphones alone in the dark...

    Haha I was just the opposite. Dead Space scared the crap out of me, but FEAR 2 demo... not so much.

    I suppose its the 'BAMF commando who can slow down time' aspect of FEAR 2. Also that gigantic power armor doesn't help with the fear factor :p.

    COD4 and COD5 are both great on the PC. If your asking which one is better, they are about the same, both good. But there will probably be more online players on COD5, because its newer. ;)

    Also check out Frontlines: Fuel of War. its cheap, and a good game. ;)

    I prefer COD 5 over 4 because it's WWII. However, COD 4 has 3x as many servers as 5.

    i didnt really like the slow down thing it seems your like a god with slowmo and a sniper rifle. im going to buy it and play it ater i beat dead space

    i think dead space is better over all becuase of story. I understand it. i dont understand fear story at all. fear 2 is just scarier for me though

    He is a minor in the United States.
    Until he is 18, he has no rights. Those rights are his parents' and will be transferred to him on his 18th birthday. Therefore, regardless of who bought the Xbox, if his parents destroy it yes, it's destruction of property, but it's their right to do it. He has no legal bearing there.

    Sounds like someone needs some anger management classes.
