Planetside 2. Full stop. Aussie server just came out tonight, game is fucking *uggghhhnnnnhh* brb, cleaning up.

NS 2 is a good game with lots of mature players and tense matches, but a learning cliff.

Chivalry is a fun bash about game, WoTR not as good imo.

TF2 is free, so why the fuck not? Play a bunch of maps and classes. Try payload instead of deathmatch, or conquest etc.

CS:GO, dunno, havn't played it. Can't be arsed.

MOH Warfighter... Just no.

BLOPS2 - I actually pre-ordered it from the UK. It's a Treyarch CoD and I've found they're generally to my liking. They're also doing some new-ish stuff and looking after PC gamers. Will not be like MW3 at all.

Have a look at :

- Blacklight Retribution (free 2 play)
- Ace of Spades (minecraft x shooter game. Poor graphics but amazing gameplay. You can build forts etc)
- DayZ / War Z (zombie survival fps's)
- World of Tanks? Not exactly an FPS, but still fun and free to play.

How did you get the Planetside 2 key? I subscribed for one a while ago never got a thing.

Yeah same here. Pretty keen on giving it a go since everyone is going on about it

They have an alpha squad up if you're desperate for a key. It's a little pricey, but worth it imo. Supports the game and gets you some nice goodies. Especially since the Aussie server opened last night. I need some competition, was ranked 4th on the server last night *flex*

Also Dav, I'm throwing in another point for Chivalry. If you can only get one, get this one. It's hard to adjust to if you're coming from mount & blade, but once you do, it's fun as hell watching your enemies head roll down a hill into the water and thinking "I just did that!"

Warfighter, I gotta say, the only thing that looks fun about it is the MP, but again, it's very well trodden ground for the most part and (for me) def not worth the money when I can get a similar itch scratched with Blops2.

Ace of Spades is almost like battlefield minecraft edition, though it doesn't have vehicles. The massive battles with people tunneling under your base are amazing though. I believe it's currently free to download outside of steam, so you can grab it now if you're keen on it. Has a few good Aussie servers.

Also, War Z is a similar pace to Day Z (and it's very rough-edged). If you can get a friend code from someone, have a crack for a while and get used to it, though I'm guessing if you didn't like DayZ, you probs won't enjoy this much either.

I actually prefer it to Day Z because the atmosphere is more intense and it's prettier, but it's still alpha so it can be unappealing to some. But the tension when the "scary music" (that apparently signals a nearby player) starts up suddenly while you're creeping through a town filled with zombies is incredible. I don't think I had that feeling in DayZ for more than the first day. I've had it for a couple of weeks in War Z.

I've got three friend codes if people are in need for The War Z. Just send a message and I'll get back.

Just wanted to say thanks for the feedback and ideas guys.Tried Ace of Spades. Good gameplay even on a US server. Just needs slightly better graphics IMO to make it easier on the eyes. Once its on steam should be even more popular.Blacklight was OK. Not a fan of the temporary unlocks though. I loved Mount & Blade so was leaning towards WotR but Chivalry seems to be winning the majority of votes here and elsewhere. Only $20 for a key as well.I really like the MOH:W teamwork Eorl described although i dont have a buddy to game with. Gotta try planetside next.

Aye, only reason I recommended blacklight is it's solid and free.

It's not exactly the next best thing, but it's good if you're just looking for a romp.

I think you'll probs lose a lot of your life to planetside 2 though, that shit's addictive... "Just one more battle!"

And WotR is similar to M&B but after playing a lot of M&B before going to WotR, I would suggest you just stick to M&B for your 4 axis medieval combat fun.

WotR is a clunky spam-fest. To win, you just get out your dagger and mash left click. You can end up attacking faster than they can parry and you just overwhelm them. It needs a stamina system before I'd recommend it to anyone.

Chivalry is different, but also fun and fair. Footwork is also highly important as weapon reach is a big factor.
