Hi. I haven't played a fps/tps in a very long time and I really want to play one now.

System specs:

AMD Athlon 64x2 4200+

1gb ram

nvidia geforce 6150LE

I got GRAW b/c canyourunit.com said that I had recommended specs for it but when I tried it, it lagged like heck and it kept getting crashing and I wasted 4 hours trying to get it to work. Gave up though.

So looking for a recommendation on a shooter.

I like: shooters with I have teammates (AI or if there's co-op) even if the AI teammates suck, I just like them being there with me.

I don't like: horror/monster/alien stuff.

I've already played cod2, battlefield 2, counterstrike (and source), hl1+2 (didn't like b/c of aliens), dod, warrock/gunz/soldier front (free online ones), freedom fighter, vampire: bloodlines (didnt like)

Can't think of anymore.

I want to play cod4/gow/etc. but I can't b/c my computer can't run it and no, I won't get a new one or upgrade my graphics card. So don't recommend those.

The graphics card is poop, you could upgrade though for less than $100 bucks but we need to know if you have PCIe or AGP.

Yeah dewd, i know you said not to tell you to upgrade.... but upgrade your graphics card. Im shure you could get something decent for what itd cost to play your game, and afterwards you can play that GRAW that didnt work before.

if you refuse to upgrade...America's Army and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory are two great free multiplayer shooters, and you can always check out some HL2 mods

no one suggested Crysis because he can't run it...and there's aliens in it, which he won't like

and the sims isnt even a shooter...

With the specs you have listed I could imagine you could decently run the following shooters.

Far Cry

SWAT 4 - Tactical Squad based shooter based in US domestic environments

Brothers in Arms - Tactical World War II shooter focusing on Infantry Tactics and manouvering.

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault - Cinematic World War II Pacific Theatre of Operations. Simple Squad mechanics.

Call of Duty / Call of Duty 2 - The Hollywood blockbuster equivalent of World War II shooters

Rainbow Six Raven Sheild - Tactical Counter Terrorism

Ghost Recon (The Original Series) - Conventional squad based military operations

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and earlier titles. - Third person tactical stealth game.

Hope this adds a few potential decent titles to the hardware system that you have to work with!

SWAT 4 and Operation Flashpoint are both outstanding.

For tactical squad-based combat...

SWAT 4 + Stetchkov Syndicate
Rainbow Six
Rainbox Six: Rogue Spear + Black Thorn + Urban Ops
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield + Athena Sword
Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis + expansions
Ghost Recon 1 + Island Thunder + Desert Siege
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (free multiplayer only game)

Other FPS games...

Soldier Of Fortune
Soldier Of Fortune II: Double Helix
Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault + Spearhead
Call Of Duty 1 + United Offensive (I consider these better than CoD 2 in both SP and MP)

Note: you can minimise gore on the SOF games and play them as regular shooters.

TPS games...

Max Payne 1 & 2
Hidden & Dangerous 1 & 2
Mafia
Sniper Elite (if you can get it to work)
Splinter Cell

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Forgot to mention that I played AA and swat 4 before.

Anyway, I think I'll try Operation Flashpoint next. Should I get OP: resistance or OP: cold war crisis? Which has better gameplay?

There's a pack with both and it's cheap. But if you had to get one go for Cold War Crisis.

Get Call of Cuty 4. It has amazing online play and will should work fine on ur comp. The game was voted numerous GotY awards by variouse mags and websites. Its probably the best FPS out on the pc now

can't go wrong with SWAT 4 and it's expansion runs well enough on my old laptop with a radeon 7500 on medium settings.

Edit: didn't see that you mentioned that you've already played Swat 4. in that case, try Brothers in arms.
