CS Source cost about $20.00 on Steam. If I could only chose one I would go for battlefield 2142 because there is so much more to do and the ranking / unlocks are nice.

i Love both games,

though there very different.

CS:S is kinda serious and rather hard to get started but can be extremely rewarding.

battlefield 2142 is both rewarding and fun but can get boring if you play for too long.

i think 2142 just gets my vote, but try to get both if you can.

I'd choose DoD:S if I were you ;) but CS:S without a doubtover BF2142. I have bf2142 with the northern strike expansion and it honestly doesn't get any play. It's somewhat fun to rank up your toon, but I just don't really enjoy it that much. Also, BF2142 does not support widescreen resolutions if you're new computer is going to havea widescreen monitor.

They're both different games. CS is more tatical than BF, you duck behine crates, work as a team etc. BF is more about huge shootouts on a big map, flying planes and driving tanks, etc

I would say BF 2142 has a lot more teamwork needed than CS: Source where one man could win a game.

definitely agree that Day of Defeat Source OWNS Counter-Strike Source. way more fun, more team involved. however i'd also say that BF2142 is better than cs:s. counter strike is quite competetive online, even to the point where a lot of noobs tend to sook and the games become a team based deathmatch/grudge-match. people just buy the big weapons on go on sprees trying to get all the kills first, disregarding any kind of team play. plus it gets boring real quick.

bf2142 offers WAY more things to do and see, but it is a lot more vehicle-based than BF2, which can get annoying if ur stuck on foot a lot of the time. and as for widescreen, theres a simple solution for that, i can run mine on 1680x1050 resolution. you just gotta tweak the Command Line.

Counterstrike source is getting old and Battlefield 2142 is something new but CS is only like 20 dollars on steam so they are both about the same. I would choose Battlefield 2142 personally.

Counter strike source hands down, css has more players as well, good graphics too, fun but very repetitive

bf2142 on the other hand...gets boring in a week, very repetitive as well, except has more stuff to do such as drive vehicles, but shooting in the game is poor and lacks skill, CSS all the way

CSS doesnt get repetitive for me cause it just has that x factor that makes it sooo addictive.

CS:S with out a doubt. I have both BF2142 and CS:S and CS:S is so much better. I've been playing CS for like 6 years and it's probably the best FPS ever imo. I'm not saying BF2142 is bad, because it isn't, I like it but it can get a bit boring at times. It's definatly not as good as BF2. So I say get CS:S.

If I were you buy a newer game not something outdated like CSS which is 3 years old a depending on your graphics card you'll be gettting a way better fidelity out of BF2142, not to mention the more customization with BF2142 if you can only get one gamemight as well squeez as much money from mum's and dad's right? BF2142 all the besides,you can always pick up CSS after a few weeks of allowence fro 20$compared to BF2142 at 50$.

BF2142 gets my vote. The game seems more dynamic with the exchanging of control points and silos. Titan defense is always fun, or you can choose to try and take silos instead of boarding the titans. The unlocks give you something to work for. Plus, the maps are varied. Some maps are wide open, some maps are really tight and close quarters. Don't forget commander mode, nothing like EMP striking a walker and the blasting it with an orbital strike. It rewards players who squad up and work together since you get 2x points when trying to accomplish an objective with your squad.

I felt as if 2142 was very dissapointing . If anything get bf2 instead . However if you have to choose between cs:s and 2142 without a doubt CS:S . You will have way more fun with it, and its really cheap now :)

Since you only can choose one I would say CS:S. I Have both of the games and I hardly ever play BF2142 I bought it and only played for like a couple weeks before I got bored. I however have been playing CS:S For years and it has yet to bore me.

Battlefield 2142, and also 2142 over bf 2 unless you hate sci fi, because if you dont it would be silly to stay with bf2 whenbf2142 isjust a much better game.

personally.....COUNTER-STRIKE!

If you can accept the anoying Steam and Downloading speeds, get it.

If you like tanks, future weapons, driving anything, Get BF2142.

Well, you could also consider that CSS is "only singleplayer" and might not last as long as maybe, BF2 or anything with some single player I was done with CSS in a few weeks.
