New Xmas games
What new games are people planning on buying for Xmas? I've already bought Enemy Territory Quake Wars. I'm considering: Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Medal of Honor Airborne, Half Life 2 Orange box and Unreal Tournament 3. I'll probably end up getting Orange box so I can play TF2 with my PCA homies and UT3 because of amount of maps they have plus bot support. There aren't very many good Call of Duty 1 and 2 servers around these days and without bot support you need about 6 people to have a good game. I like having the ability to launch a server and populate it with bots where we control the skill level when I play with a few friends. Crysis would probably run like a dog on my system in multiplayer, if I want the graphics to look good. I found the minimum framerates were dropping to 15 at medium quality at 800x600 in the demo. I refuse to buy single player only games so that eliminates quite a few. I don't think Call of Duty 4 or MOH Airborne will have multiplayer bot support so I'll probably leave them off the list.
