so I live in a dorm now for college and i bought a laptop. It's not powerful but it nice. It can play World in Conflict nicely, and Empire: Total war ok. But I need a FPS...i was looking at the original halo for the heck of it. But is there something that new but not old and not crappy. WWII, sci fi...it doesnt matter...

Thanks!

You can try the older WWII shoters, Medal if Honor: Allied Assault and/or the early Call of Duty series (mainly Call of Duty 1 & 2). Since they're both not that graphics intensive as the newer games.

if you can play the battles on empire total war, you might be able to run cod4, or TF2, both of which come highly recommended.

The brilliant STALKER games aren't very demanding as long as you disable those fancy lighting/shadows effects. I.e. enable static lighting.

You can definately play STALKER, choose enough of the high graphics options for Call of Duty 4, and same with Team Fortress 2. Call of Duty 1 (with the United Offensive expansion) and 2 multiplayers still have servers running and were fun.

If you can run E:TW you can run anything besides probably Crysis.

He can run Crysis.

i was looking at the Medal of Honor games and plus i was looking at Crysis too. Just need to get some ideas.

For a some very solid FPS games with low recs I would recommend Half-life 1(and the expansions opposing force and blue shift) and aliens vs predator 2. Both games have, imho, the best and most interesting singleplayer campaigns I have tried(I have not tried HL2 and the expansions, so I dont know about them)

Half-Life 2 took everything neat about Half-Life and made it a helluva lot better. Except maybe difficulty level. It and the episodes are amazing games. Doesn't have particularly low recs though.

Yeah, any HL1-based game would be good... If you're into Multiplayer, get Counter-strike Condition Zero or Day of Defeat... Both games ran well on even my old Pentium III laptop, and are great LAN party games... :D

The Battlefield franchise is pretty good. I recommend Battlefield 2. It doesn't have a campaign mode however, it is primarily a multiplayer game.

Battlefield Vietnam is great multiplayer. Still hundreds of people on, and it fixed everything wrong with 1942 except the AI :)

I got the WW2 and exps + BFV for like $10 or $15 at BestBuy
