"new gamer questions"

i just bought a new system with (finally!) a pretty decent video card. i want a great new game to test it out with. i already have enter the matrix and MOHAA. i checked out a few online, and i'm curious to see what more serious gamers think of them...

operation flashpoint
battlefield 1942
james bond 007 nightfire
tactical ops

Battlefield is definetly the best option. Especially since there are some great mods out there for it aswell :)

There are medics in OpFlash.

the best game there is battlefield 1942 if you have a new computer then it will show of the speed of the pc. james bond is disapointing considering the other james bonds games on the consoles. flashpoint is a hard game to get the hang of, without things like health and medic's basically one shot would basically kill you. tactical ops i have seen in the shops and doesn't seem that amazing. battlefield woudl be the one that woudl push your computer.

Flashpoint is good, and cheap, hence if you don't like it no big loss. Nightfire is rubbish, much better FPS games available on the PC, Battlefield 1942 is still full price nearly everywhere hence I'd get the demo from somewhere on the internet and try it before buying. Never heard of Tac Ops.

Operation flashpoint's a great game, I've been playing it this morning in fact, one for the tactical gamer though. It's very hard. I love it, but you'll get mixed responses.

Battlefield's also great, apparently. Everyone seems to like it anyway. Maybe it brainwashes people.

I've played the demo of Nightfire, I thought it was complete rubbish personally.

Tactical Ops... that's the UT mod isn't it? Sorry don't know anything about that.
