Hells Highway VS Airborne VS COD3

Which out of these games will be best?

BIA hell highway: After looking at trailers looks promising graphically, but can gearbox improve enemy A.I?

Airborne: EA boast! However, looks promising graphically! But still games before had some dodgy AI.

COD3: The best WW2 series of all, but its not made by infinty ward? (im not sure) its made by the people who done the console version of cod, and i didnt really like Big red one......

So give us your opinions!!!!

Seen a vidoe for cod3 and it looks very nice, bit hard on your pc if you want all the bells and whistles I should imagine.......

Can't comment on the other 2 ?

Well, the thing with these WW2 games is that AI isn't especially important, its immersing you into the environment so sound, music and vision are paramount. The COD AI was alright but using music it managed to get you to think you were in a film. As long as the AI is not badly flawed and forgets what to do then its usually ok.

COD3 and MOH: Airborne look the best out of the two, I think I will like Airborne the best.

Correct.

That said, Hells Highway vs. Airborne, it'll probably be reasonably close, as to be honest, though the Brothers in Arms idea was quite good, it was implemented with horrendus AI, well at least the original was anyway, but if they can do more than just fancy graphics, it should be a lot better than the EA game I think.

COD3 is going to be a very consoley game, thus if it were ported to the PC, it'd probably be lackinga a little in some departments that more hardcore players demand.

Airbourne for me, didn't think much of TRTH30 so I never bothered with EIB. I read a preview for Airbourne about 6-12 months back and it sounded quite promising, with dynamic (sh'yeah, right...) singleplayer.

road to hill 30 before release looked very promising, especially thr level when the sun is setting. Hells highway's trailer looks REALLY nice. I checked out company of heroes, is it just me or graphics look kinda old?

In a WW2 FPS it usually is.

single player = cod 3

multiplayer = cod 1

who cares about AI, which will have better online play? Haven't played a game against a computer in about 4 years..

perfect example that that isn't true is cod1 and cod2

cod2 = great graphics rubbish play
Cod1 = ok graphics awesome game play.

There's plenty of people still enjoying singleplayer games. I used to mainly play multiplayer (95% of my gaming time) but probably only around 20% now. SP is nice because you can go at your own pace and doesn't require the same dedication.

Word usually applies, and I thought COD had good graphics at release, it certainly had great audio.

Yep it was good upon release. But compared to new games its not, It's only recently I stopped playing COD. I just don't see the attraction of FPS SP gaming. If you wont FPS go online and fight real people, much more fun. To do extremley well you need dedication, but you certainly don' to get a decent score and have fun.

Maybe for some, but personally having played online FPS at a very high level (european div1 / internationals) I find it difficult to have fun when I'm not playing to my full potential. It can be pretty embarassing to play a game making countless errors and basically getting your ass handed to you by players you were wiping the floor with six months ago. I can still have fun playing online, but I'd say in the past 7 months a good 80-90% of my gaming has been singeplayer (compared with maybe 10-20% over the previous 7 years).
