    if you liked halo multiplayer then I'd pick up that myself...the sdk and level editor should be released this week so user made maps will be poping up soon...if you didn't then I'll probably get flamed for this but ut2k3 has gotten a lot of playing time for me and I would give that a look too...

    Exactly! That Red Square battle scene is going to be as orgasmatic as D-Day in MOHAA.

    For some reason, it's hard to get good info on FFXI.....it's been out in Japan for awhile, right? None of the sites I've visited seem to have much on the mechanics of the game......or alot of opinions on how good it is.

    I have a new strategy for gaming. Buy it when it's hot off the presses and sell high. I just bought Max Payne 2 yesterday for $35 from Best Buy... beat it the same day, then sold it for $35 on eBay. So I techinically lost no money and got to legally experience a game. You should try it if your gaming budget is small.

    H&D 1 was a steaming POS! Pong would have been a lot more enjoyable.

    I'd say Max Payne 2, but if you want longevity and multiplayer capabilities, then CoD would be the ticket.

    I liked H&D 1, the only thing that sucked about it was the absolutely horrible game destroying bugs.

    The game played like crap, almost like something out of the 80s era with those Atari dial controllers. Granted those were fun games for it's time, but H&D is just a disgrace in any standards. Now I see why they released the full game for download.
