1.Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars

-good system requiremnts,superb camppaign

-heard that it's very buggy and the online is not good is it true?

2.Medieval total war 2

-I love the total war series but...

-high requirements and online not so good

-What settings can I run it on?

3.company of heroes

-they say that it is a suberb game with a great online community but I don't think my computer can handle it

4.Fligh simulator X

-I really really want to play this game and wouldbuy it in an instantbut can I run it?

I am having a hard time choosing between these four games and I am looking for a game that is long lasting great online community and can run it on at least medium settings

my computer specs:

2.8GHz pentium 4

1GB memory

7600GS(AGP)

Command & Conquer 3 - All hype, little substance. I was really disappointed with this game. I much prefer SupComm over this, but that isn't on your list :P

Medieval 2 Total War - Great empire strategy game with nice real time battles. You want this for single player. Multiplayer is limited to only real time battles (if I remember right) so no empire strategy mode in multiplayer. Which sucks. But a good game nonetheless.

Company of Heroes - Great RTS game, but plays a lot different than typical RTS games. Not that that is a bad thing, but it has a learning curve. Made by Relic though and they've pretty much proven themselves to be RTS kings.

My verdict: Buy Company of Heroes.

Try the demo of each. That'll give you an idea of how it will run on your PC. :)

C&C 3 isn't buggy - it's buggy at multiplayer only!! - just for your knowning :) (you can run it on high graphics)

CoH your computer can handle it at medium graphics

C&C 3 or CoH is my suggestions from your list (both are great games, with great graphics, with good story and with good gameplay)

In the long run, Medieval Total War becomes a real pain..the ends are not justified by the means in my opinion )) (the battles dont cut it for me..i fought a couple and then lost interest). Command and Conquer is not bad..but if you've been playing heaps of Red Alert (like i have)) previously and have become bored of it, you wont find anything new in Command and Conquer except better graphics..another downside of the new installment, in my opinion, is that human units now come in squads..

Company of Heroes on the other hand..is pretty damn awesome ))..I found it to be way more entertaining than Medieval Total War 2 or C&C3. I dont play it that much, but if i do want to play something from the strategy genre..this is the game i run ))

I was quite astonished by the effects on my first skirmish map ))

You can probably run Company of Heroes on medium-high with a good resolution. However, i think your RAM might be lacking. I run it on 2GB. Just have to see for yourself.

The expression "a lot" in the long-term is not applicable to this situation :lol: But yeah, you'l probably be able to run COH considerably better with better frame rates now )) If you dont have Vista, you can get it as well. It should do well on anything over 1GB.

You must be really into Flight Simulators )) ..a future pilot, perhaps? )) IMO Flight simulators are only for future pilots or daydreamers..complete waste of time. I advise COH. As for the simulator, i'd say you'l definitely be able to run it on or above medium.

i remeber playing microsoft flight sim ages ago and all you end up wanting to do is fly real low through cities but u couldn't cos they was 2d or crash you jets in awesome ways but that wasn't awesomely posible either. So if you can't do that in fligh tsim X don't bother
