read the threads first post, it says within 2 years fps games.

srry... I misjudged the genre of Halo 2. What WOULD the exact genre be? One site I read today put Halo as a shooter.:confused:

**oh! there's not even a demo for it yet...**

Although a little older, take a look at Soldier of Fortune 2, which is in the bargain bins, and is, IMO still one of the best FPS online.

The single player is also OK, some truely great levels, but also some poor ones...esp. the early ones.

FPS...stands for first person shooter, oblivion is a first person shooter, because you are in first person and you shoot things with your bow ;)

Go into SOF2 servers. They are still very much alive. After playing more modern games, then going back to SOF2 I am, honestly, quite amazed at how good the gameplay is, esp. the leaning. If only the developers of more recent games had played SOF2 then they would have made their titles much better.

Reinstall SOF2. You won't regret it. There are v1.00 and v1.03 servers. I can definitely recommend the RMG v1.00 servers and the v1.03 BOT servers. See www.sofplayers.co.uk to find out how to run BOTH v1.00 and v1.03 at the same time.

I cant find my SOF2 CD's :(

Just another question, what first person shooter games (from the ones that have been mentioned and any others) have multiplayer (whether it be co-op or just vs'ing each other)?
