Gears of War, Call of Duty 4 or Crysis OR UT3??

I am looking for a new shooting game. I want a great looking game but even more important an amazing multiplayer experience.

I heard that Call of Duty 4 had a RPG style multiplayer which I like but I also heard that GoW and Crysis multiplayer are really good too. I need some help to decide what game to buy!

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I officially add UT3 in this thread. Can't put it in the poll but let's talk about it too!

"Crysis is easily one of the greatest shooters ever made that practically rewrites all the rules for the genre." - Jason Ocampo

Obviously, if only one choice is possible, Crysis is the proper one.foxhound_fox

That doesn't mean it's the best multiplayer game.

It's one of the bestsingle playergame I played in a whilebut I can't say the same for the multiplayer. I wonder how long the online community will last.

If you have a machine to run it, Crysis.kilaan

I have Intel E6600, Corsair 4gig 6400, Asus 8800GTS. I think I can run it well... hopefully :P

Hard to choose, all three have great multiplayer action, I will choose CoD4, but try to get the 3 of them, they are great.OtakuRay

Yeah, I wish I could but I can only afford one game right now.

Unreal Tournament 3.

Seriously, download the demo and check it out.

COD4 great SP, and very good MP.

Crysis

I was in the beta and the multiplayer action was awesome. Lemme break it down for you:

Its got a "buy" system like counterstrike, except its based on points instead of cash. You get points for kills (more points if you kill better, higher-ranked players), capturing power nodes, factories, and bunkers. You can then buy a variety of weapons, upgrades, and tools.

Some of the combos are just fantastic. I spent one time buying nothing but explosives: I would place claymores inside a bunker, then I would toss a satchel charge in the back of a truck, then bail out and send it careening into an enemy as I blow it up. Sniping is also insanely fun since there bullet physics are real (need to lead your targets).

Its objective-based gameplay is like Battlefield with a few twists. First, there are war factories which build vehicles (which cost poins). There are numerous vehicles, and theyre all fun. There are also prototype factories which make alien weaponry in addition to a TAC tank and TAC launcher.

The maps are also huge, but never crowded since theyre limited to (iirc) 32 players. Its very nice...if you want to snipe, you can snipe. If you want to pummel people with fists, you can pummel to your heart's content!

Its a beautiful mix of Counterstrike (buy system), Battlefield (vehicles, capture points), and Joint Operations (big jungle maps, vehicles).

I cant wait to see the other maps. Maybe theyll have some night-time maps...IR goggles FTW!

I agree. The single player is fun, but I found multiplayer to be rather dull, however the point system for purchasing items is very neat, but thats about it. Gears of War takes my vote for making it possible to play cooperative in the single player campaign. ALot of games these days lack this function, which is just too sad. And GoW has the 4v4 competition, which is freaking addictive, plain addictive.

Crysis or Cod you wont be dissapointed with either one. GoW on pc is graphically two years too late with the gameplay of a console shooter. I would rate GoW on pc 7.0 tops.Pessu

GoW graphically 2 years late? Then how the hell CoD4 and Crysis only looka tiny bit better than GoW? infact I doubt thts even true. GoW looks better than CoD4 in most aspects of the game.

Sure Crysis looks great, but you'll need a powerful machine to run it, while Cod4/GoW can run (an look as good as they do) even on lower end machines.

It's not about top notch graphics, it's about great looking graphics with a reliable smooth run to it.

If the power of the machine did not matter at all, then EVERY game made to this date would look better. They would all look even better than the video samples you get with the Nvidia cards, which is something still unimaginable even in our heads.

Sure you can make the best looking game, but can you make it efficient? and enjoyable to most of the public by running consistently smooth? Thats the challenge.

Lol omg i was just about to post the exact same question before i posted this. I can only buy 1 also because i don't have enough money also. Lol!

I think that GoW has the best multiplayer out of all these. I played it on the xbox 360 and it is awsome. When it comes to singleplayer crysis should be your first choice. Of course call of duty 4 looks great but i don't know enough about it besides that it has good graphics.

That's my opinion!

Agreed, unless your computer can handle GOW and COD4 but not Crysis, since Crysis is a much more demanding game (and requires SM3.0)

You should have added UTIII ;)

You absolutley cannot go wrong with either one, I just got CoD4 yesterday and the campaign is short, but it's why I started on Veteran. Now its pretty "long" just cuz I die so damn much.

I haven't played a demo as much as the Crysis demo. I played the Beta, and when it gets it's kink's worked out, and the new content, OMG it's gonna be so amazing, it's radically different from CoD4.

Honestly, the CoD4 multiplayer is amazing, and there are alot of game modes and all that, but the Power Struggle thing in Crysis alone is awesome, I mean, the Beta had only 1 map, and people were playing that game till they got absolutely sick of that map, which alot of people still played, the maps are HUGE too, so lots of helicopters and tanks and people in nanosuits jumping around, it's just crazy.

The multiplayer in gears is also great! I've spent alot of time online, it's just pure fun, no bells and whistles like CoD and Crysis.

The campaign in CoD4 is short, but man, it is the best campaign in the CoD series, wow was it incredible, I'm actually glad people complained alot about the Campaign, because I was blown away by it's campaign, and the demo for CoD, doesn't do JUSTICE for that game, I was a fool to judge the game by it's demo, the graphics are crap in the demo, but excellent in the retail, and the demo level, was pretty much the only 100% "walk forward and shoot" level in the whole campaign, the rest were open ENOUGH to where you could be tactical.

The multiplayer in CoD is fun, and it's addictive, but it's not this epic and stunningly incredible thing people made it out to be, TF2 is still better IMO, but CoD's multiplayer is definetly it's strong point, perks are cool, and they are useful, but if you don't level up fast, they are practically useless, but guess what, leveling up is easy! Multiplayer is very very fun, but man, I expected so much more from what people were telling me.

Exactly. Call of Duty is renowned for it's incredible multiplayer experience. So far, no game I've seen have come close to touching it.

UT3.

Amazing.

No it does look horrible and probably the most jagged game in ages. Microsofts decision to disable AA for DX9 secured that. The textures are horrible and the animation plain. Saying it looks even nearly as good as CoD4 or Crysis is the most ignorant thing I've heard this week.

Are you serious? COD4 doesn't look nearly as good as Gears of War and I only played the multiplayer. It's hard to compare the graphics since they are different but I was more impressed with GoW. Maybe you had to play on low settings? COD4 basically looks like a minor upgrade from COD2.

Microsoft disabled AA? Bioshock and UT3 has the same engine and I cannot remember AA being an option. Maybe it's not supported?

COD4 is the best MP from those 3... in my opinion... still, i triedF.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate MP yesterday, IT ROX!! almost as good as UT3, so i would say go with UT3 or FEAR...coyotinX

Where'd you get persius mandate ? is it a free DL ? or a retail item ??

I'd prolly go with crysis, but i have CoD4, and got a small bit of online in. its pretty fun lol.

Are you serious? COD4 doesn't look nearly as good as Gears of War especially in multiplayer. It's hard to compare the graphics since they are different but I was more impressed with GoW. Maybe you had to play on low settings? COD4 basically looks like a minor upgrade from COD2.

Microsoft disabled AA? Bioshock and UT3 has the same engine and I cannot remember AA being an option. Maybe it's not supported?

Wtf, Gears has different graphics while playing multiplayer? Your not making sense.

No trust me I play these games on max settings. And yes microsoft has disabled anti-aliasing which is a very important option for games to look good. Its grayed in the visuals options and says some bs that you need vista for it.

But if you are so committed to the delusion of GeoW looking better or even nearly as good as Cod4 then I'm done here.

See a diffrence? Its not the Cod4 DS version I'm talking about.

Personally I think yor opinion is based on a biased outlook.

Microsoft did not disable anything for Gears of War you fool, it's the ENGINE, and the engine HAS AA. I think you have absoultely no idea what you are even talking about.

And even if "microsoft" did "disable" aa for Xbox360, play the game on PC. It's god full graphical options, and it INCLUDES AA.

Stop posting what you can't even backup with evidence, purchase GoW first for PC, enable AA or force AA through nvidia options, and you have your glorious AA.

Most ignorant post by me? Atleast I know whats what.
