Call of Duty 2

And now you can also join in the epic multiplayer that remains one of the most popular aspects of the FPS genre.Once more you are thrust into the action as an Allied soldier fighting in a variety of different fronts. The single player campaign gives you the chance to fight as the British, American and Soviets again and each time you will have a series of missions and objectives to complete. This time the game adds in a huge range of multiplayer options too and it remains a steadfast and fun place to be. With a huge range of weapon options, it’s long campaign and endless fun with friends this was and is a really good sequel to the original.
Counter-Strike
Counter-Strike is one of the the pioneers of the team-based multiplayer, action-shooter game genre and it is thanks to these games that we now have games like Combat Arms or even Blacklight. That said, you probably have heard of Counter-Strike so I'll keep this simple. The game places you into a team - either as Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists - before the match and your team will be given an objective to do, be it taking out enemy sites, rescue hostages or simply taking out the other team. For the "vanilla" version of Counter-Strike, the multiplayer community is pretty nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game. So, unless you are feeling nostalgic or if you don't really mind old graphics, then Counter-Strike might just be the game for you.
