yes , but i want a game dat is really addictive dat will really get me into it
 
i really want world of warcraft but don't have money for the monthly fees
 
I would say Bf2.
GW gets annoying after a while. Mainly the quests. You often can't see clearly how far a quest is, cause there is a portal in between and you only see the protal to the next area you have to go to reach that, so quest are often prolongued. Just when you think you done it, you see you have to play like 2 hours more, and your Doh!!!!!!. And second you have a lot of monster that appear just when you pass a certain point, you know you don't see them but once you get to an intersection yhey come out of the trees and ground. Thats very annoying when you see a couple enemies, you approach them you think 5 enemies, Ok I can handle that, then out of nowhere these dude's come out. Plus unlike in WoW you can't avoid them by staying on the road, you simply know you are going to have to fight them all over again and there is nothing you can do about it. Apart from that everything else is great, and I mean everything. The sound, visuals, controls, PVP, it's not a system hog, unlike many games it loads up quickly.

Bf is pure and utter fun but a system hog and with a lot of bugs.
 
Battlefield 2.
Action packed, squad based action on an epic scale.

Never a dull moment.
 
Guild Wars is a nice progession game, you can only play the same maps over and over again until you get bored in BF2
 
Ok, this is one department i can help in.

I have 500 hours logged into GuildWars. I have completed the game with 4 characters, and unlocked all skills etc.. I have over 3 million experience accross my characters, and I must admit it was fun right up until about the fourth character. I don't find PvP to be a whole lot of fun, and the main story gets quite boring after the second time through. Sure, you'll be hella addicted for the first and maybe second character, but It doesn't last long. You can atain level 20 (max level) in a weekend of playing if you don't work, which kind of stinks. I've even got fusion armor on two of my characters, which takes a hell of a lot of time. I'd say Guild Wars will keep you busy for a month or so, but as of now, I've stopped playing it.

What I am playing right now is BF2. It has awesome replay value, and if you're into the character thing, the stats are great too. I've already got 50+ hours in it, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Looking forward to the expansion pack as well. I think I'll get more replay value out of this one than I will Guild Wars though, because unless Guild Wars gets a massive expansion sometime, i probably won't be picking it back up.
 
ok i decided to get both coz i could get both for $80 so..... , ok

and you used to be a relentless fanboy

btw BF2 no question about it.
 
Yes I was, but there were a lot of people like me who really liked the beta's but when the retail came we got a really different game, with as much grind as WoW. At first it wasn't bad, but over time you just get annoyed, and you ask yourself, seriously WTF, BWE were totally different, I've just been grinding for 5 hours. And you quit playing.
 
I faced exactly this decision a week ago.

I was totally fed up of those online DM games in which no communication happens at all, and everyone goes about silently killing each other. It's gone stale! :eek: So I was looking for a game with some proper communication, teamplay and drama. Both GW and BF2 offer squad-based, cooperative gameplay... but I don't have time/money for both.

So I tried GW for a few days on a friend's account. I'll admit the tactical decisions involved in constructing a perfect 'deck' of attacks is compelling... as is the 'collect-em-all' side of it. But the combat may seem boring to some people. It's practically automated a lot of the time.

In the end I got BF2. It's more exciting, imo, and more immediately 'interactive' - but with less communication going on.

I would recommend trying before buying GW. There is a fair bit of grind invoved, which put me off tbh. They're both great games though, it depends what you're looking for.
 
Guild wars is supposed to have expansion after expansion after expansion.... Which will add skills and increase the level cap, and other shit.
 
Save your money for Elder Scrolls IV. It's an RPG and you can run around in first person mode... Oblivion > Guildwars + BF2

Although I have to admit, BF2 is a whole lot of fun. Good luck balancing your time between the two games.... :thumbs:

My girlfriend is still hotter than yours. And I live in Boston, I don't have a backyard.
 
ok i got world of warcraft ..... but i didn't get it ..... MY MOM GOT IT FOR ME it's weird coz my mom dunno about comp games ..... BUT SHE GOT THE BEST GAME EVER FOR ME but i still have $80 so i'm 60% on the bf2 since many people in this forums r saying it's better but 1 more question.....

people says guild wars is soter than wow will guild wars have updates with new levels in the future?

And also people say u can only go up to Level 20 which sux but..... in future update do u guys think u could level up more?

but i'll probably get bf2 coz i already got a mmorpg but is wow better or guild wars?
 
World of Warcraft is quickly going down the tube, it has less than a fourth of the players it did a few months ago. I wouldn't really put Guild Wars in the same category as WoW, because GW is not a MMORPG. Battlefield 2 is much better than both of them in my opinion. Don't forget that the WoW community is quickly dying though, and starting now is ridiculously late. Not to mention the monthly fees. I'd wait for Elder Scrolls IV like the other guy said, if you want a decent MMORPG. WoW sucks.

Future expansions should raise the level cap.
And yes Guild Wars will have many many updates. It was made by alot of Ex-Blizzard people.
One of the guys was the guy who started Battle.net and was the major programmer. Guild Wars has some of the best net technology behind it. They can easily stream info and patches to you that are small and quick. The Net play is Ace on a 56k(I know first hand).

I'd wait for Elder Scrolls IV like the other guy said, if you want a decent MMORPG. WoW sucks.

Why get ES4 if you want a decent mmorpg? It is singleplayer. ONLY.
 
Depends on what you like and how much time you have. Massively Multiplayer games usually require a lotta time and devotion. FPS are jump in, waste some guys, leave. Both have their ups and downs. I have heard GW doesnt require as much time as other MM games do, however, BF2 does award you for playing long hours on an account. Both seem pretty balanced, but its all about your taste in genres.
 
Guild Wars isn't an MMORPG.

I think only NCsoft calls it an MMORPG to try and get it to compete with other mmorpg's, but ArenaNET the actual developer does not call it a mmorpg at all. Infact, how did they put it..
Guild Wars has some similarities to existing MMORPGs, but it also has some key differences. Like existing MMOs, Guild Wars is played entirely online in a secure hosted environment. Thousands of players inhabit the same virtual world. Players can meet new friends in gathering places like towns and outposts where they form parties and go questing with them. Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place. This design eliminates some of the frustrating gameplay elements commonly associated with MMOs, such as spawn camping, loot stealing, and standing in a queue in order to complete a quest.

Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. In Guild Wars much of the tedium of traveling through the world has been eliminated. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they have previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map.

Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world.

Players in Guild Wars can play with or against players from around the world in the global tournaments and arenas. And while players are initially placed in a region based on their selected language (so that there is a greater likelihood that others will be speaking their language) they can join up in the always-available International District to form parties and to play with anyone from anywhere in the world.
