I bought Brothers In Arms for the PS2, i love it. A little on the short side, somewhere between 10-15 hrs, but i find there is a lot of replay value. I'm not the biggest fan of first person shooters, but found this type extremely fun. If you have an X Box, i hear that version is better than the PS2, graphically, and frame rate wise. Apperently even game play wise the whole suppression tactic is supposed to work better on X box. The only cons are the frame rate slows on the PS2 sometimes. Also, it's kind of annoying that when your team mates die, they're alive again in the next chapter. I know there was no other way around it, but still very annoying.

Man I'm ready for Chaos Theory. The previous ones are in my top games ever list! Lots of new moves and stuff.

There's a demo available for download too, stressed my system to the max. Graphics to die for though.

Check Wal-Mart, I read on redflagdeals.com that they'd priced Chaos Theory at $19.97 my mistake.

I have both Brothers in Arms and Splinter Cell: CT...IMO Splinter Cell is far and beyond the game game Brothers in Arms is, dont get me wrong i thought Brothers in Arms was a very solid game, but definitly not top 10 on the system. Splinter Cell is amazing one of if not the best game on the system i've played and i own around 35 games

Since we're talking about FPS military style games, anybody know if the latest Call of Duty is any good?

I bought Brothers In Arms last week and love it. Like said above your guys dieing during battle and then showing up the next chapter is kinda stupid though. If they wanted to do that they should have took the Pacific Assault approach and have your guys not get killed until a certain scene in the game. I was actually suppose to be part of a mod team that was going to make a Saving Private Ryan mod for it when the MDK comes out but it's starting to look like the guy in charge of the mod is going to shut it down so I guess I'll be looking for another mod team.

I just got Half Life 2 sent to me today from Staples so I'm installing that right now.

Brothers in arms is very fun, i bought it a few weeks ago but havent been able to beat it since i let my bro borrow it to try. Its fairly hard, especially if you try it on authentic mode. Its cool to brush up on some history because every mission you beat, u unlock footage of differnt things. I have yet to try the new SC but it looks very fun. As for COD on xbox or ps2 its kind of a rip off. Its not nearly as good as the pc versions, which are done very well.

My roommate has Chaos Theory and I played it some this weekend in co-op mode. It is awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but the teamwork aspect of this game makes it REALLY fun.
