    I don't really have much time anymore for a mmorpg, but I really liked it when I did have the time for one, but I don't right now.  So, I want to look for a good online fps.  I have a pc, that can play pretty much any online fps's.  I also have a xbox 360, I rather play one for the pc, but a 360 will be good enough, I guess.  Any suggestions?  I don't want to play cs btw.  One that can be competitive, while at the same time, casual?

    Battlefield: Bad Company and Halo 3 are excellent choices.

    Halo 3 is a good choice -- You don't have to unlock perks or weapons and it's fairly easy to get into while maintaining that competitive gameplay
    if you want one for the PC go with TF2, it does have unlockable weapons they aren't a necessity. (imo) TF2 doesn't have the competitive edge that Halo does, though.

    Isn't halo full of a bunch of little whining kids(from what I've read)?  I don't mind that I guess, but I rather have a game that has a higher maturity level.  Unless what I've read is wrong, if it is, I'd give it a try.

    Yeah, there is whiny kids that'll scream anything for that shock-factor... but you have to expect that from one of the most popular games on Live. You'll find kids like that in any game you play on any system. Mute is always an option.

    You wanted a fps that would be great for a casual player. Halo attracts both casuals and whining little kids.

    Call of Duty 4 is the better choice for you. Halo 3 is great but it isn't as casual friendly as Call of Duty 4.

    Stay away from
    -Orange Box
    -Unreal Tournament
    -Battlefield: Bad Company.

    TF2 is extremely casual. It's so easy to pick up and have fun. I recommend it 100%.

    That factor has lessened quite a bit ever since the release of CoD4. But in the end, I'd give my vote for CoD4 simply because there seem to be more newbies there. The people that are sticking to Halo 3 are the people that are really good at it.

    Orange Box. It has a lot of variety, whether you like straight up FPS, MP class-based shooting, or puzzle solving. At the low price of I believe $40 currently, and having 5 games, it's a must-buy for any FPS fan.

    Halo would also be a good FPS for anyone, easy to jump in and play, everyone can get good at it so at least new comers aren't getting TOTALLY owned.

    I would agree with the Orange Box. Or just get Team Fortress 2 separate from Steam if you just want the FPS.

    Well, TF2 has already been mentioned, but it IS a good casual game. It's not as competitive as Counter-Strike, or anything like that, and it's more about having fun. There is a bit of a learning curve for it though, both in stuff like rocket jumping, using the pyro correctly and also the strategy stuff. If you're not an impatient 12 year old though, it shouldn't bother you at all. (if it does, there's a little thing called YOUTUBE TUTORIALS.)

    I dont agree with TF2 being casual, but thats just my take on it. If your the only man on the team alive, and the enemy wins there and then, prepare to take a ear full of blame.
    Cant really compare this with CS, seeing as its not on Xbox.

    Yeah, to some extent TF2 can be casual, but not in any longer term ways.

    When Fat Princess comes out that will have to be by far the most casual shooter.. but its not FPS. :(

    Perhaps a few of the classes in TF2 can be casual such as the heavy, soldier or pyro.
    Then as you tend to skill up, try more hardcore classes such as demoman,spy or even a medic.

    Yeah, the playing guides for pyro, scout, and engie by EvilDaedalus are pretty good. You just gotta make sure the author is a reliable source, and the video's not a joke.(I don't know how people can even fall for fake tutorials. Most of them stick out like a sore thumb.

    There are servers out there just for noobs. Provided you know how to play fps games, it will take a few days to figure out how to play the game adequately. At least a month before you master it, though. I've been playing for about four-five months and only now can I say I know pretty much everything regarding the ins and outs of the game.

    Yeah, even though it did have an extra map, no mods..

    Have you seen the mdos on the PS3? They have like a 2D version of the game, Solid Snake, Master Chief, and many many more characters very well made to DL. It's rpetty sick.

    Portal is probably the most accessible, although if you actually want a proper FPS then I'd have to say Halo 3, because it's the most accessible in my opinion.

    Portal can be considered more of a puzzle then a FPS.
    Definitely not casual
