Which one of these three titltes will gove me the most bang for my buck?

I don't have much cash to be throwing around for PC games, but I want one of the three titles to keep me occupied this summer:

C&C 3

Medieval Total War 2

Battlefield 2142

Discuss which will keep me interested the longest do you believe.

I'm a huge fan of all three series, but I will say I probably put the most time into the Total War Series (I played Rome for countless hours).

Personally I would go with battlefielddamann22

Ditto.  It's good times.

battlefield doesn't have single player, does it?  if not, that would tend to negate it under your bang for buck analysis-- should have both single and multiplayer.  Also, I hear C&C3 has problems in multiplayer on the net... process of elimination..

BF2142 easy... Ranks+Clans+Mods=Long Time.  Maybe C&C3 if you enjoy RTS more than FPS.

There is a single player mod that gives you all the unlocks and lets you change amount of bots. Otherwise you are correct, but its rather simply to fix. (It does have 3 or 4 maps for singleplayer out-of-the-box, but its limited to 16 player and no unlocks)

I've heard some very good things about Supreme Commander and Company of Heroes so if you guys wish to talk about them aswell go right ahead.

Also I tried the Mtw2 demo yesterday and I must say I was really dissapointed. I have a decent rig, but the gameplay seemed choppy (not so much graphic wise, but the view skips around, mouse is super loose, unit movement is unnatural) and not as interesting as RTW. I turned graphics all the way down just to test it, and I still had problems.

MTW2, and only because it's the only good game listed.GodLovesDead

agreed and if you want to go with battlefield i would take bf2 over bf2142 its much better has a huge

community and you get the gold edition with has the add on + both booster packs

btw c&c3 sucks 

Will someone address the demo issue of MTW2? I won't consider it anymore until that problem is cleared from my mind.

I never got to play the demo for BF2142, but I did for BF2. I must say BF2 was fun, but it didn't suck me in like 1942 did. I mean I spent hours upon hours playing 1942. Vietnam I didn't care much for either.

What community is bigger, the BF2 or 2142 one?

Their about the same.

Also if you like tactical realistic shooters you can always download America's Army. best free FPS and possibly the most realistic fps in the market. Though it wont suck you in, it will grow on you.  

Well folks I ended up going with CoH after trying the demo... and it was only $24.99 (DVD Edition) off gogamer.com
