If you aren't super confident in your computer's abilities I'd stray away from BF4

Well, GTA is very different from the military stuff. That should be an easy deciding factor. You want to be a crime lord or a military badass?

From my experience with a non-fantastic computer COD runs pretty well

In the long term I think GTA 5 is your best bet for multiplayer; there's not nearly as much bullshit in GTA and BF4 than COD, and GTA is fun both alone and with friends. Since GTA has sandbox and standard competitive matches, it'll be the hardest game out of the three to get bored of.

But.....Battlefield is the greatest game made.

@Draugnar: I know what you mean, but both sound fun and I can't choose between COD and GTA mostly, especially because they are so different, that makes it hard to compare...
I suppose I'm mostly looking for the epic wow-factor followed by having trouble stopping with playing every time I play, and I don't know which will have those things the most.

@Brewmachine: thanks for the advice. I will wait for some more advice though...

Oh and @Brewmachine: what do you mean with bullshit? Like killstreak rewards or something or crappy mechanics?

Mainly crappy mechanics and unbalanced weapons, and all of the crazy snipers. Its really easy to get angry at the multiplayer.

@ goldfinger0303

Actually, the greatest game ever made is either Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (2005) or Medal of Honor (2010)

Hell, my USERNAME is a Medal of Honor (2010) reference.

I was always a fan of the XBox MoH series (I know, different than CoD: MoH) especially the one that took place starting with D-Day and infiltrating deep into German territory.

save money for a computer?

@Hyperion: I don't need to save money for that, but for now I don't need it, as long as one of those 3 games or maybe some other more amazing game can be run, and I have little doubt about that because the only games I tried but couldn't run were too old I think.

I'm just not the type to buy expensive new stuff just because it's a bit better (or a lot better if much more expensive).

And what's so amazing about Chaos and Medal of Honor?

Also how long until the epicness ends?

I haven't played either of those. I was a huge fan of Tom Clancy: Rainbow Six back in the day

@ Draugnar

Have you ever played Medal of Honor: Airborne? It's the best WWII Medal of Honor game. It was quite revolutionary for the time, because it was the first FPS to allow you to jump out of an airplane and deploy wherever you wanted to. Also, you get to play as an 82nd Airborne paratrooper, which is a polite term for "certified badass". It's really polished with excellent music, memorable levels, and customizable weapons.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is the best combination of storyline, gameplay, realism, and writing ever conceived in a video game. Same thing with Medal of Honor (2010). Hell, Medal of Honor (2010) is based on a true story! (spoilers within the links)

Of those 4 things you mentioned I'm mostly interested in gameplay although storyline is nice too Gunfighter.

I'll probably mostly play online since offline either is finished fast or gets boring fast.

In terms of gameplay, I would go with Battlefield, in all honesty. GTA is also having some issues with online play atm

COD, cause it has dogs

I've never played MoH:A. No surprise at the music being awesome though as Michael Giacchino (Lost, Alias, The Incredibles, Star Trek/ST:Into Darkness) wrote all the MoH scores.

Also, idk about CoD but battlefield has destructible environments now - like you can knock down buildings if you take out the support beams with rpgs

@ steephie22

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory has a smooth control scheme and Fisher's movements are well-designed, realistic, and coordinated. You have an array of movements and resources at your disposal to tackle any situation you face in the game, as well as different movements and resources that you can adapt to your preferring playing style. The levels are fun, creative, nuanced, well-designed, and challenging. The storyline is not unrealistic (North Korea-South Korea war, ostensibly) and very, very engaging/fun.

Medal of Honor (2010) has a somewhat brief campaign but that's a price I'm willing to pay for high-quality, realistic levels and a gut-wrenching storyline. It's by far the best FPS to take place in Afghanistan. You're actually fighting most of the game in the snow and the mountains, as opposed to a cityscape like in every other FPS ever. The weapons are very realistically modeled too. Just like in a real shootout, even on the easiest difficulty you don't survive very long outside of cover. Modern tactics such as fire superiority and shooting from cover are the only way to beat the game, even on low difficulty.

@ Draugnar

You should check it out. It's honestly worth it for the soundtrack alone, but in my opinion it is the magnum opus of the WWII Medal of Honor series. MoH:A to the MoH series is like the Iowa-class to battleships. As the last real WWII MoH game, it is the ultimate expression of the Medal of Honor series.

I would love to see a Medal of Honor game in the near future which features airborne operations, perhaps a hybrid WWII-modern game. Jack up the realism, include fully destructible environments as seen in Battlefield, include the realistically modeled weapons from the two most recent MoH games, and encourage the player to fight as a fireteam or a squad as in Brothers in Arms. Also, make the singleplayer maps MASSIVE and give the player a considerable amount of leeway as to how he approaches and takes objectives.
