The real fun of first person shooters is multiplayer gaming. The single player games are fun for a couple hours but quickly get boring. Return to Castle Wolfenstein I got bored with VERY quickly... although I plowed through to the end, Medal of Honor is better than RTCW but not by much. IMO NONE of them are the least bit realistic, although Wolf and Honor pretend to be... which makes me like Serious Sam 2 a LOT more. Operation Flashpoint is the only game I've ever played that makes you feel like you're in a military simulation, and it's the only FPS that has a replayable solo mode. Sadly, it's multiplayer support is pretty weak at this point.

BUT... once you get a bunch of friends together, you can drag all those games out and have a riot fragging your buddies. we usually play for 14 hours, go out, sleep, then play for another 10. These games really only come into their own with the help of living competition.
