I'm getting CoH now I just need a solid fps to go along with it. I'm considering Cod2 but I'm open to suggestions :)
 
COD2 is a great game, but its very short unless as far as i remember

hah thanks for that OldMX I'm still looking for some more opinions :D
 
CoD2 is all right, I enjoyed United Offensive more, though. The multiplayer took a step back.
 
The Half-Life 2 series were a blast. HL2:ep2 is being released soonish (Q1 2007 I think) so get on the horse if you haven't already! :)
 
do you want to kill humans, aliens/genetic mutations, or humans and aliens/genetic mutations?
 
Just a few sugestions not listed above:
-Far Cry: Great game, awesome enviroment
-Prey
-F.E.A.R.

I have been thinking of Farcry since it is about $50 cheaper than Cod2 so basically I'll see how much moolah I have left over after CoH :)

Hl2 would be nice but I've heard you need to download some crap in order to play it which is a no go zone with my 56k.
 
quake 4 ftw. it's fast and furious....of course i'm only speaking in terms of mp.
 
There are a ton of 'em, but make sure you can run them, too. For instance you can get FEAR, but if your system isn't new, it might run like a dog. That'll especially be the case if you're on a big LCD and need to stick to the native resolution.
The best scalable FPS games out there in my eyes are Far Cry, Half-Life 2, and Battlefield 2.
HL2's my fave, but all 3 are terrific.
 
Well If you already have or plan to get HL2, I might suggest picking up also Day of Defeat Source. It would compliment your purchase of Company of heroes pretty good as it also the WW2 FPS genre. In fact, it is what I'm currently going back and forth playing right now.

EDIT: I should also mention that it's also pretty cheap too @ $19.95 off of steam, should be the same price in stores like best buy or compusa or something like that.
 
oh man - you haven't played far cry yet? definitely the one to get - especially since you can get it for like $9 now.

$20 in Australia and atm its looking like FarCry is a safe bet for a good fps and it should leave me with some money to spend on another thing if everything goes to plan :)
 
I recommend both CS:S and DOD:S for MP. Far Cry is awesome and very original. You could probably get a few games for the price of COD2. Quake 4 is now only $20, the single player is solid and MP is what you'd expect. Prey is ok but not very challenging since you can never die and it's short. FEAR is great. All the HL2 and EP1 are awesome. COD has good single player but I really don't like the MP, it just seemed too easy and wasn't as good as UO.
