Ok I've been given some birthday money and I want to spend it on 2 games and keep the rest of the money for games coming out in the future but the only games I have in mind at the moment is

- World of Warcraft (i will only be playing private servers with my friend if I do get it)

- Left 4 Dead (on pc)

- Call of Duty 4 (ps3 or possible PC)

- Call of Duty 5 (ps3 definetely)

So what do you think I should get out of the 4. I am only willing to buy 2 :P (also feel free to suggest any PC games)

1. It is illegal to play on private servers with World of Warcraft. 2. Left 4 Dead is extremely fun but many people find the replay value dulls quickly 3. Call of Duty 4 is great fun but very repetitive after a little while, especially online. 4. Call of Duty 5 or World at War is good both on the PC and PS3. Really, it's your choice as you are mainly basing it on your computer specs/control preferences.

Wow private servers is illigal like copying music, everyone does it and no one cares so don't worry about that. Only ones that could possibly get in trouble with that is the ones running it.

I'd go for left4dead i've been playing it alot and not tired of it but watch out on the versus stuff people tend to be very nasty and swear alot. Campaign is alot more fun.

both call of duty 4 and left 4 dead are the best games i have played in my entire miserable life .... you wont regret buying either of them

call of duty world at war is good but now looking back i think it would be preferably better on a console cause of technical reasons

ignore what negative things people say about left 4 dead it has a stunning community and i have made many friends through it... despite the few amateurs that can be a hindrance the chances are that they'll leave in rage cause they are sh!t and you will get better players next round and you get a chance to get your own back on the enemy for thrashing you mwahahahahaha

No not everyone does it. Yes people do care. Yes you could get in trouble (although granted probably not). WOW cost money to develop and they recover part of that through subscriptions. If you don't support the industry it will die. Beyond that stealing is wrong no matter what. I am guessing you would have a different point of view if someone was stealing something you had produced.

ok thanks for the comments. the thing is paying £7 - £10 per month to play a game in my opinion is just a rip off and I'd rather just play a private server. My friend has been playing one for a couple of weeks and nothing has happened to him :P.

Anyway I think I'll go for L4D or cod4 and cod5 (it depends on prices for them and which console there on)

anymore replies?

I think left4dead is in special right now on steam for 25u.s.

Might also consider Team fortress 2 for 15-20 you sure can have alot of fun with that or just get orange box for 30 and you get half life 2 and both addons.

If you honestly waste your money buy WoW to play a private server, your RETARDED. Do you realize that the actual game itself is free to download, right off the blizzard site even. When you buy the game in stores your paying for the activation keys, why the HELL would you need an activation key if your playing a private server? /facepalm

Don't get into WoW. It's not that much fun on a normal server, and even less fun on private ones I'd imagine.

My friend has been playing one for a couple of weeks and nothing has happened to him .

That's good for him, but Blizzard is notorious for getting people to pay for what they've done. If your friend gets caught (and trust me, Blizzard is actively looking for private servers) he's going to pay A LOT. I'm not much of a FPS person myself so I don't know much about CoD's but I've heard only good things about Left 4 Dead. Lot of people seem to have fallen in love with that game even though it's not necessarily their favorite genre.

It is human nature to only expect as much from other people as we expect from ourselves.

You might want to check some of the Blizzard's legal cases and then say that again.

I'd personally go for "Left 4 Dead" and "Call of Duty: World at War".

I would personally suggest getting a "Shooter" game + World of Warcraft. At least, you get 2 genres and what you've listed are really great games so you won'te really go wrong with any of them. However, personally I would get L4D. You don't really get zombie shooters much and so far, L4D is really getting rave reviews. Its still new so you can probably expect more new stuffs coming. COD4 is awesome but its a bit aged now. Plus you won't get any more new stuffs (maps/weapons) since they are now developing COD 4 sequel. COD 5 is good too but COD 4 is better than it. World of Warcraft...well, what can i say? Its a HUGE game that can last you for YEARS. And they are continually updating the game with new contents every few months. Thats what your monthly sub is for, to maintain the servers and for the new content that keeps coming in. Without the subs, this kind of game simply cannot run, its not a rip off. Look at how many MMO games that have been shut down due to lack of subs, even though they were promising and had lots of potential. If you do want to play a MMO for free, then just pick one of the legally FREE MMO's out there, at least you won't get into trouble with the law. The trade off of being in a free MMO (and this includes illegal ones like private WOW server), is the server is not very stable, a lot of players will be HACKING (guaranteed) and also cheating. You will see tons of "players" that are essentially robots, ie : scripted characters that do things from a macro script and no one really playing them. However, a good free "MMO" that I can definitely recommend to play without all the above things is Guild Wars.
