Help me find a new game, please

I bought Battlefield 2 right when it came out and it is fun at times. Sometimes, when the action is not as intense, it is ok. I prefer online shooters and other online games that make you feel more connected with other people. That is why I loved Return to Castle Wolfenstein's multiplayer, the chat, the V-says and other stuff was amazing.

I have been playing other games more so than BF2 lately. I need an online game that is fun, involving and makes you feel like you're there interacting with others. That you can have good text chats as well. I was hearing about RTCW2 coming out a while ago, but no new news on it I believe.

I wouldn't mind a solid singleplayer game either. It doesn't have to be a shooter, could be anything. I loved Command and Conquer Red Aler 2's multiplayer also. How is Doom's multiplayer?

I have not gotten into the Counter-Strike craze yet. Is that a good alternative to BF2?

Anything else that is good?

Thanks.

Have you tried Day of Defeat Source? It's pretty team oriented and not hard to find a server where people are voice chatting. I play pretty often and it's pretty fun. You may have it though, you only really mentioned BF2. But if you don't already have it Half Life 2 is super fun, and the deathmatch that comes with it is pretty good. What other games do you currently have?

Operation Flashpoint might be just what you are looking for. Granted it's old but it's got a big slant towards teamwork. I play it with Vent for voice chat but the text chat is great too.

They are making a sequel to OFP (finished but not released yet, damned Codemasters/Bohemia Interactive) called Armed Assault but I have no idea when it's due out.

The latest "official" word on the scheduled release date for Armed Assault was a rather vague, "first half of 2006". But I won't be surprised if it comes out a bit later than that. It'll be worth the wait though. It's definitely not finished yet. And it won't be published by Codemasters.

CoD2 is pretty fun multiplayer, pretty exciting. Closer and more intense than BF2.

Something else that is fun is Shattered Galaxy. It's an MMORTS, the only one around. No building, you simply buy all the units you want to use while in your capital then go out with your faction and fight with the units you bought. They die during the battle, but you repair them afterwards and go back at it. Has RPG elements that give you reason to keep playing. I play it a lot.

Counterstrike and Battlefield are two completely different games. I dont know why people cant grasp that idea.

Anyway, I'd recommend FarCry, Half-Life 2, Act of War, Disciples 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and Master of Orion 2.

Get back to me after you've finished all those.

Far Cry?
