Got my feet wet with multiplayer gaming, now need more

If you liked Heroes than why not BF2? The best multiplayer FPS/vehicle game even today.

This is pretty much the best you're gonna get in that regard.

At this point, TF2 might be a touch hard to get into, as it's gotten a bit more complicated since release. But is still the shooter with the most personality on the market today. I laugh pretty much every time I play it. Usually, everyone can find a class they really like, as most classes are very different.

On the other hand, a guy I know dislikes the game. The only basis for this dislike that I've been able to discern is the lack of an assault rifle and the slight abundance of shotguns.

I really liked Combat Arms before I got fed up with the rampant cheating. The gameplay is very arcadey with a nice array of weapons and armor/cosmetic features.

The thing with TF2 is you really need a team that communicates, that is when it is the most fun. If you play on a server where nobody ever text or talks, and just does their own thing, it can get frustrating .

COD4 = shoot, chuck nade, rinse and repeat. Got sick of it within the first hour, no comparison to the original COD and UO. TF2 though is awesome, when you play with a good team that works together and knows what their class is supposed to do.

Yea CoD4 is boring. Every map you do exactly the same thing and it's not a team game. You just go and shoot and kill people. I enjoy the team aspect and varying classes in TF2 much more.

One of the things that sucks about COD 4 is that for the majority of the maps you're not shooting at people, you're shooting at microscopic brown dots wayyyyyy in the distance. And the learning curve for sniper maps isn't a curve at all, it's a vertical wall as you get your head taken off again and again by a brown smudge a mile away. At least in TF 2 the guy I want to kill is red and jumping.

I tried playing COD4 on my cousin's Xbox, had this problem. Add to that the fact that even if I did see the guy, I couldn't aim well enough at distance to hit him....

I also used the TF2 excuse. I'm not used to camoflage in the slightest.
