4. (Tie) Medal of Honor and Battlefield Bad Company 2

FPS games usually do well for me. I pick up a few every year as they are my favorite genre. This year there are two great military style FPS games coming out. I predict that for the Call of Duty 4 fans that were disappointed with Modern Warfare 2, that Medal of Honor will be the better bet as there are no vehicles in multiplayer - from what I understand at this point anyway.

BFBC 2 is basically the spiritual successor to Battlefield 2, which in my book isn't necessarily a good thing. Vehicles make the game more about running to get the vehicles that great infantry combat, and thats too bad. The guns in BF2 sucked, and from what I have played in the BFBC2 demo, the guns haven't changed. Sure the graphics and engine are much better this time around and that will pull in a lot of new people, but all in all its basically still BF2 with better graphics. I am still putting it in my top 5 for one major reason - modding. If DICE gives people modding abilities, I feel there will be a great opportunity to create a good infantry only combat mod with weapon tweaking that will sufficiently scratch the MW itch that Infinity Ward failed to deliver, especially to the competitive community. Don't hold your breath however with this game, as the BF2 community doesn't like change – so expect to be waiting until MOH comes out, if you want a true competition game.
