It'll play, just not in great detail.

I suggest Half Life 2 for starters.

Yea hl2, pick up the mod called Counter-Strike Source a very good FPS.

Stick Act of War in there, before C&C atleast.

A few other titles that maybe worth checking out are:

No One Lives Forever Series
Mafia (PC Version, not that shoddy console port)
Commondos 2
Sacred
Rainbow Six: Raven Shield
Brothers in Arms Series

My brother took a step out from games for about 10 years, the first thing I gave to him was Call of Duty and FarCry.

They're both basically the same hehe.

You can get COD2 cheap enough now so you may aswell just get both

You don't need to play them in a particular order.

I prefered COD but COD2 looks much nicer and is still a very good game.
