Which FPS to buy?

Well I can't comment on Crysis 2 because I haven't played it yet but I did get Homefront and can't say it rocked my world.

I just got it for the online and haven't tried the story mode.

I like the COD games and I'm playing Black Ops but I wanted to try Homefront because I like the story (well I imagined it's China invading not North Korea).

I played it a few nights and went back to Black Ops.

What I found was that when I play Black Ops, I can aim at a guy across the map and hit him in the head - I didn't seem to have that level of control in Homefront, it didn't seem like the characters were as big or something like that.

There also seemed to be plenty of snipers. The maps are more spread out and I found plenty of people just sitting on roofs and sniping. Pretty sad.

Another bugaboo was the servers. Waiting to find a match is not fun and I found I had to wait and wait to find matches. At least with Black Ops, you want a match, you'll get one in seconds usually.

If you can find it cheap, try it out. If you get a used copy and the Battle Code is used, you can probably find one on ebay for $1.00 to $3.00. The game allows you to play online without the code but you can only level up to level 5.

I also got bored with Medal of Honor, MAG and Battlefield 2 if that puts things in perspective.

Is it just me or does homefront looks very similar to mag in a sense?

they all serve different purposeses, but i would go with call of duty, great multiplayer community lots of people on all the time and for a good reason the game is good, socom meh, never liked the franchise, crysis no comment never played it, and HALO this is a ps3 section dude lol, yeah i played it on the original xbox great game but dont know about the new releases.

The community is horrible in cod series. If you don't have a guy camping in a corner with an aku pointed at the door with either claymores or motion sensors sent up, you got people tubing, others thinking that they can pull off crazy sniping shots that they can't. Also its filled with people who shouldn't even have mics with the nonsense they say. If COD did not have a mute function, I proably would have not ever picked it up. Plus people lag really badly (host).

KZ3 is the big boy on the block for MP, these days. But the sniper issue is something that's infected just about every recent FPS online... I don't think you'll find a game where the snipers don't rankle your sensibilities. It's a trend based on players, not titles.

:?

I know it turned me off from a handful of games.

Peace fellow gamer! And Good Hunting!

I was talking about grapic wise and such. It looks remotely similar to MAG. I didn't say whenever or not homefront is worst than Cod or MAg

Save your money, wait for September and buy Resistance 3

I haven't played a FPS since "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare", but I'll say this: Battlefield 3 has me wanting to get back into the FPS genere. It looks absolutely incredible!:o

dude you wont regret buying Battlefield Bad company 2.... It's way better than CoD in everyway. I don't know much about crysis 2 but it looks fun. Bad Company 2 is EPIC. you can play for hours man im tellin you. buy the ultimate edition and get all the maps vietnam onslaught and everything. its way better than that lame ol' run and gun CoD. Blow up buildings, drive tanks, piolet choppers, use UAV helcopters, drive around on an ATV, and Use a mortar strike to kill multiple enemies at once. oh yeah and not to mention that the maps are WAY freakin bigger, and you know whats fun about big maps you can snipe without dying every 5 seconds. It's takes more stradegy when you work with a squad then just looking for someone to kill. I know i just rambled but I hate when ppl talk about MW2 and Black op's like they are the best thing thats ever happened to this world of gaming cuz in reality they are just lame.

Homefront's online multiplayer is excellent! (the Sp not so much, but i thought it was a bit of fun)

Granted i have only played it on my "other" console, but it's great fun.

Feels (and kinda looks, well done kaos for your use of a pants engine) like Battlefield 2

It's pretty emmersive, and once you get into Battle Commander, it's a pretty decent rush!

I can't recommend Crysis 2's MP, because it generally sucks, and 2 weeks after release I'm finding it a struggle to get into games!
