Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Vs Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands- Ultimate Year 2

[The Old Man]

I am looking for a new game. I like FPS ... am currently playing Ironsight, and CS:GO.
What are your thoughts on either COD, or Ghost Recon?

Appreciate any and all comments.

Both are great but get modern warfare first

Really depends on your tastes and we need to know more.

Call of Duty is well, CoD. You know what you're letting yourself in for. So if you like that sort of game, you're not going to guess far wrong.

Ghost Recon? Which one? If Wildlands then maybe, but the more recent one forget it. I would likely caution against both and choose Call of Duty personally (or neither). Ubisoft games are dull and samey, and full of empty busy work. And the most recent Ghost Recon ESPECIALLY.

So yup, down to you.

For multiplayer and playing randoms? Ghost Recon. Less cheaters.

[The Old Man]

Yeah, I'm looking far more for the MP part of the game.
Ironsight has the physics down on the guns, the game is fun but it is dead.
It is free to play, but pay to win. I'd rather pay the money up front and just
play the game. I'm old. Ancient, and that's the way it is. Thanks ..

In that case, I'd recommend havign a nose at Youtube and go and look at some gameplay demonstrating what the side missions on the Ghost Recon games are and whether you like that sort of thing, because there is a LOT of it. It's mostly the usual go here, kill this many, fetch this, the same as other Ubisoft games.

If you can abide all that, it might be for you. But if you want a straight up more conventional competitive PvP experience, then I'd go for Call of Duty.

For coop with a friend wildlands is fine, for 9 euros. One of the dlc is not worth it.
15 for all would be a good price too.

Cod 4 was fine, but i am not sure if its still played. It had servers, and one day the servers started to redirect to others, to get the players. It was a mess.

If you want a cod like cod 4, mw from 2019 is a better choice. Its 29 atm. Not sure if it gets 20 again. That one might get competition if the newest comes this year, the last 2 ones didnt make it. Or play its f2p part.

[The Old Man]

Yeah the ones I thought would be good aren't. I appreciate all of the advice, and info. I will give MW 2019 a go, and I am trying HALO Infinite also. Have only played the tutorial so far. Ah well.... everything changes. I'm just old and miss the games I used to play. I'll keep searching.

Thanks again

[The Old Man]

Also trying Medal of Honor, and Battlefield 4. I have EA Play for a month or two so it gives me the opportunity to try them. We'll see.

Well consider this - many of us on here (including myself) are old. I've been around since the dawn of games. There's holes where I'm not so up on games too.

So ask us here, there's plenty available to help.

Don't be afraid to ask really basic questions, however daft they might seem. You won't get any ridicule from me for a start (nor should you from anyone else).

So what are you after exactly? The more you can provide the better the answer or point into the right direction.

[The Old Man]

A modern BF2, multiplayer. And maybe BF4 will fit that.

Ah now that's more like it!

I'm not into that sort of thing myself but if enough people see this, you're likely to get some real good responses because I know there are many like that here. Obviously the trick is finding ones that are populated :)

Battlefield 4 from my experience (little) might indeed do it, but it is a little more "modern" and moght lose some of that feel, but it's probably the cloesst you'll get from the franchise.

I hope others chime in better educated than I on this.

[The Old Man]

Yes, I play CS:GO, and probably have CS Source, I'll check. Thanks.
No, I don't speak that language I used Google to translate.

Cheers

It is in my library on Steam I'm installing it now. I'm not very good at CS:GO. I'm old my eyesight isn't that great and my reflexes aren't what they were ...... not making excuses just acknowledging reality. It's amazing playing against some of the teens that play. Their reaction and concentration is awesome to watch.

420 doesn't impede you in any ways does it???

It shouldn't.

I'm disabled and I'm old, and I find that someimtes on some games not only can I hold my own but come top - I do this on games like Killing Floor.

Simply put reflexes aren't everything though they are important. In Killing Floor my key thing was just a good pair of audio headphones and paying attention.

So, I had this in my library CS Source... the last time I played it was 2015. I installed it, and I will put some hours in playing it. Who knows maybe I'll get better. There is a ton of servers, and what seems to be an active community.

Thank you for the nudge. I guess I should look at what other games I have in my library that are "hidden" from view. Thank you
