The gaming world moves too fast for me. Haven't even bought MW2.

as much as i'm enjoying Bad Company 2 right now, i'm really quite tired of the deluge of realistic multiplayer FPS games. what happened to the days of Quake, with rocket launchers, railguns, and insanely fast paced competitive gaming? i mean there's only so many times i can shoot an M16 or AK-47 and find it interesting

This is what you'll want:
Bulletstorm. Developed by People Can Fly (Painkiller) and Published by Epic (Unreal Tournament, Gears of War).

Arena shooters are dying because they are not popular on consoles.
It's a shame though, this is a fantastic genre that has slowly disappeared but the kinds of fast action gameplay and pinpoint shooting that often took place (railgunning for instance) work best with a mouse.

Not a fan of alien games. Same with alien guns. It just doesn't make sense to me... Pink dart gun? Uhhh negative.
Love the CoD series, though. Same with MoH. Gears of War is about the only exception to the "alien games" rule. Such an awesome series.
Anyway, stoked about the new CoD! I even liked World at War, which pretty much makes me a video game masochist...
Edit: Obviously, fond memories of playing Doom and Duke Nukem on my old 486 tho.

COD is far too overdone. MoH was a far superior series in terms of their WWII games. Gears of War is one of the worst games ever made. Terrible art design, bad gameplay. But then I feel the same way about any console shooter and 3rd person makes me physically ill because of the 3rd person camera. Console narrow field of view for FPSes does the same thing. They just don't belong on there.
The obsession with modern warfare is going a bit too far, but at the same time, it's good that we are breaking away from WWII which is beyond stale. MW2 was pretty much the worst COD in the franchise. Treyarch used to be considered the crappy developer to Infinity Ward so we'll see how this one is. I do look forward to the setting which is supposed to be various time periods during the cold war which would be refreshing. I am hesitantly wondering how the new Medal of Honor "modern warfare" game will be but the rail shooter gameplay of COD is worn out with me. It's like they would rather make movies than games and the boundaries and overly scripted gameplay just forces you on a narrow path that feels artificial (along with the checkpoints you must reach to continue) that have been a hallmark of the COD series.
Some of my best gaming memories are from waking up early before school and playing games of Quake II jailbreak and Unreal Tournament. Those have been just as fun as the original Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic, and the old Battlefield games were.

God I hate DOOM or alien shooting crap. I like realistic war games. I like MW2 and WaW. I haven't played the BC games yet. I also wouldn't mind seeing a WW1 video game.

as long as it feels tight and fast, not loose and spammy like the UT games. my favorite mutiplayer game ever is probably Weapons Factory Arena for Quake 3, it was like Team Fortress but on acid. it took an already fast paced game in Q3 and amped it up several degrees, nothing like mastering the ground grapple and slingshotting your ass across the map
the learning curve was steep though and to get really good you had to learn how to build custom config files for each class. mutiplayer gaming these days is just too mainstream and tailored for cookie cutter consoles for games like that to exist anymore. hell i'd settle for one of the more mainstream mods like Rocket Arena, you can't even get that 1v1 competitive aspect in games anymore

Loved MW2, but treyarch is so bad I can't even give this a second look. Those punks got my money for world at war and I promised not to do that again.

I agree with the general Treyarch hate consensus, I thought CoD3 are really good, I had a lot of fun. World at War was terrible though. It was "decent", but the tanks ruined that game. It took like 5 rockets to destroy one and only one team ever had one. \
Not to mention Nazi Zombie's is the most over-rated gametype in the history of gaming, it was fun sure, but it wasn't the bees knees of video gaming. I am sure they will bring it back though and have Vietcong Zombie's or something.
How ever, with the Black Ops, they have the potential to do what MW2 did with Spec Ops, which I thought was the best part of that game. It'd be nice if IW would put some DLC up for MW2 which included new Spec Ops, rather than more multiplayer maps, as I think Spec Ops is way funner.

I agree with everthing Hack & Lube said especially about GOW. Seriously, a 3rd person shooter? I got sick of the CoD franchise a couple games ago. I wish they'd bring out another Counterstrike game, I don't want to go back to Source after playing games with nicer graphics.

can buy it used. They don't get any of your money and can try it for a little cheaper.

If you buy it used from a store, then the store gets all of your money (while the seller gets much less).
Also, with how many games are tying themselves to your accounts now, you can't sell them.

COD has been going downhill for a while. The story for MW2 was horribly written, not paced well, and had one of the worst levels I've played in a FPS (Brazil = baaaaaaaaaaad).
I'm not big on the multi player either, it's really unrealistic, and encourages camping over team based tactics. Counter Strike still is the benchmark for online shooters IMO.
