Few things are as exciting as playing an evenly matched round of competitive multiplayer FPS. My first exposure to an FPS multiplayer competing against other live players was Halo 2 on Xbox Live and it was exhilarating, engaging, and infuriating all at the same time.
Cussing, celebrating, screaming, laughing, pounding fists, clapping hands, smiling, and gritting teeth were all experienced in a matter of a few minutes. At the conclusion of each match the scoreboard summarized the match and I always checked to see if I was #1. Competing for the ace player each round is what made the game so addicting.
Battlefield 2 was my first PC online FPS game. It quickly became apparent that the hundreds of hours spent mastering Halo 2 were of almost no benefit to me as I struggled to learn how to move and shoot with the keyboard and mouse. Sadly, my time on BF2 was limited and along came Battlefield Heroes, one of my favorite games (Huckabee and Turkish45). Unfortunately, DICE made some significant changes to the game and nerfed my character so I left it for Bad Company 2.
Bad Company 2 is to date, my favorite competitive FPS game. My main character, Huckabee, has over 1300 hours logged. One of the most enjoyable things about BC2, and any BF game for that matter, is that once you master one weapon, class, or vehicle, you can move on to be proficient in something else. Feel free to watch some of my BC2 game play on my youtube channel.
My online gaming experience also includes Battlefield Play4Free (Huckabee), MW2, and a few MMORPGs. My hope is to play Battlefield 3 soon, however, after playing the beta I have decided to wait and see what improvements DICE will implement to correct the hit detection issues that plagues their new title.
