Which shooter will you buy if you could only choose one?

Okay, we have:

Gears of war : 17/11

Rainbow 6 Vegas : 24/11

F.E.A.R : 03/11

and

Call of Duty 3 : 10/11

If you had to choose one which one will it be? I'd choose Gears of War, but I'll be getting RB6 vegas as well.

Let alone shooters, if I had to buy any game it'd be Gears of War. :mrgreen:

GOW looks overrated. Like some kind of arcade shooter or something. Not my cup of tea.

I actually quite liked BF2142 though (and as much as I hate to say it, more than BF2!)

You know, the last FPS I probably got was UT2004. The next one will probably be UT2007, in the unlikely case that my computer is capable of running it.

If I could only get one out of that selection then it'd be CoD3

My vote goes to COD 3 and hopefully on the Pc sooner rather than later.

I may get Gears of War, on the fence though.

Also considering R6 Vegas and CoD3.

With Vegas I'm a bit sceptical, the last R6 was a bit crap, and hopefully they'll release CoD3 on the PC eventually (no idea why it's not the first one to get it).

If you're talking single-player FPS, Half-Life2 Ep2.
The attention to gameplay in HL2 and Ep1 just blows everything else out of the water.

I'm in the same boat as you here, can't believe it.

Another vote for CoD3 ... when it comes out on the PC. If it was in the list I would be choosing UT2k7! I can't be doing without a keyboard and mouse when it comes to FPS gaming - I reserve my 360 for the racing games.

Steven, you should re-do this poll with a clear notice that Call of Duty 3 will not be coming to PC. I think that might have an impact on the number of votes it's getting.

When I voted FEAR it is for the expansion which is due out for the PC, already have the origional understandably and personally think it is awesome. Mind you I like the monolith games regardless!

Are you absolutely sure about that? I know it's not been announced for PC but it's always been a PC franchise first.

I do expect them to release it on the PC, afterall, Halo 1 and 2 wern't coming out on the PC either.

Yup, I think it was somebody from Activision who stated that the next version on the PC would be Call of Duty 4.

So that basically says "COD3 isn't worth doing on the PC" - which could imply COD2 on the PC was so good and challenging to PC specs that COD3 doesn't differ from it enough to make it worthwhile. But they have to make a COD3 for new/next-gen consoles, and then they can't get out of sync and release the next game as COD4 for consoles and COD3 for PCs.

So good luck all you COD3 console purchasers, sounds like an expansion pack-size "new game" to me...

Ah it looks like I'll be giving CoD 3 a miss then.

I'm interested in how R6 goes, I really enjoyed R6 3 on the xbox (my PC sucked back then so I was forced to play the console version), but I wasn't impressed by the R6 Lockdown demo (and niether was the rest of the R6 community it seems). So hopefully they'll be back strong in Vegas.

On a related note, whats GRAW like? I really, really enjoyed GR1, but didn't really like the sequel with all this techno-soldier 1 man army rubbish that they had on some levels. Is it back to good old GR in GRAW?

Or it could be you're a bit bitter that PC users aren't going to get to play it :p

Meh I'm still happy with CoD 2, I was a bit surprised when they showed off in-game footage of CoD 3. It was so quick I had barely completed CoD 2.

Looks like it's not being developed by Infinity Ward though. It's being developed by the same guys as CoD 2: Big Red One, so I don't really expect anything special.

Gears of war, FEAR, COD3. I'l try the demo of rainbow six but i dont think its my sort of thing really.

Well it's obviously for console fans, but i chose FEAR. The other games don't interest me at all.
