I never played any of these games...except diablo 2 for 16 hours straight on a lan with my friend...I also played the rtcw multiplayer test and it was pretty cool...but if your a fps whore then I'd get rtcw...but if you like rpgs then I'd get diablo 2 based on my experience...

Return to Castle Wolfenstein looks great. So does 5 sharks teeth. Are you going to put an av on any time soon again?

Not sure about the av GARRIN...I had been using the "Bloke", but that was because not many other people had it...now a buncha "blokes" are using it. Might just wait until I get to GWS...or become a mod. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif

I would go

1) Return to Castle Wolfenstein (I hear its MP is insanely addicting)

2) Operation Flashpoint (AWESOME and alot of players and big maps)

3) Baulders Gate II & Diablo 2 (not an RPG fan but these are damn good and equal)

Hi.

It all depends on what genre you prefer. If you like action games the most, go with RTCW. If you groove on Sims, buy Operation Flashpoint. If you dig story-oriented RPGs, try Bladur's Gate 2. And if you enjoy action RPGs, go with Diablo 2. All four are excellent games, you will like all 4 alot...

I will vote for them all https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif

My first pick would be D2, then BGII and ToB, Flashpoint/RTCW are a tie

w00t, way to go retrofade, only another 700 odd posts till i reach genetic, lol. I've played a bit of all the ones you mentioned except for Baldurs gate, and based on my experience, i would get D2 its really fun. Operation flashpoint is just blah and RTCW is too damn short!
