WoW is kindof boring now that I am geared and just get my points every week. I am looking for a 1st person shooter like Unreal or something similar that has the following features:

-Online
-Allows teams of whatever size and "free-for-all" with those teams (ie, my roommate and I can play 2 vs. Whoever).
-Realistic weapons for the most part
-Realistic damage, somewhat (most games offer this decent enough, except that one, I forget which of the COD's it was, has these riot-shields that stop tank missiles, etc. That's kindof lame).
-Will run on my PC (3.2ghz quad-core w/ NVIDIA GeForce 460 768mB)
-Graphics that will take advantage of my PC.

I have COD4, MW, and it doesn't allow teams for beans. Is this better in that regard?

COD or Battlefield 3 IMHO are only ones worth considering. But on PC I don't like COD.

I googled Battlefield 3, and liked it, but how is the multi-player set up? How does that work? I know on COD, it was horrible. Almost impossible to get into the same battle as someone else, and even if you did manage it, you were likely as not to shoot them as they were to shoot you. Team-play was nearly impossible other than auto-assign.

For realistic damage, you're gonna have to go back to the Rainbow 6 or Rogue Spear games.

I can live with exaggerated longevity if the graphics are good and the multi-player online engine is solid.

Are you using steam to purchase games?

CS is really cool. Since you were playing wow you might like Elder Scrolls Online, it's coming out pretty soon.

No, and I never will.

WoW is the only RPG that really "got me". Not normally my thing. I'm more into battle/strategy, but really liked the 2.5D layout of Starcraft vs. the more 3D layout that a lot of the newer games run on. First person shooters are my other favorite, which is what I'm looking for. CS Source is something I will look into, but multiplayer interface is my MAIN CONCERN. I like playing with my friends, and if we can't effectively team---well, that sucks.

Any reason why? Just wondering really because I was thinking about starting to use it.

BF3 man, all the way... it is awesome on console but even better on PC with 64 man servers!

But you don't have to take my word for it... "Reading Rainbow"! ;-p

I tried it years ago and it messed my computer up. I have a former roommate that used it and it jacked him, too. I don't like STEAM.

I would HIGHLY recommend you check out the DayZ mod for Arma2. Most fun I have ever had in a game.
