Play every FPS coming out

So you love first person shooters for the PC huh? Love fragging friends online, love intense shoot outs with smart AI, or just get immersed into games with a great story like Half-life 2. Whatever your reason to play first person shooters we all know that the prime way to play a first person shooter is on the PC (all arguing aside). And we all know that the genre is here to stay. So with FPS' having the strongest graphics curve and more and more technology is getting more and more expensive what is a fan of the genre suppose to do?

Original Doom

The history of FPS on computers is a lengthy one, while the Nintendo 64 revolutionized the first person shooters on a console with Goldeneye. The PC was around making the games like Doom, Duke Nukem, System Shock and other legendary entries. Also the PC was known for taking multiplayer a step further with an internet connection letting 8 people play at once, a feat quite admirable for its time. But as time goes by so does the technology, for a while we were in a graphic slump focusing PC FPS' mainly on the gameplay (the golden days), but now the graphic curve is ever so hard to catch up with, requiring special upgrades that are frequent and expensive.

Here is the bad news, these days first person shooter game makers push your cpu to the limits, unlike other genres, FPS' require the graphical realism that makes the experience so grand. So lets say that you want to play Half Life 2 on your computer (remember this game was released a couple years ago). Your computer will need to have 512 MB of Ram, and a graphics/video card of 256 MB or maybe a little less (this is the optimized requirements). So if your into the slightly older games (in computer language that means not old at all), like Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2, Half Life 2, Brothers in Arms and so on, you are going to want 512MB to 1 Gig of Ram and a Video Card of 256 Mb, these cards can run you somewhere around 150.00$ so not too bad.

Far cry 2

Upon a further glance that video card will give you what you want if you strictly want to play games from a few years ago. A lot of gamers want it all, they want the old and the new, they want the near ultimate graphics card. Lets face it there is some great FPS' coming out and if your computer is even a couple years old you will not even be able to see Crysis at more than 2 frames per second, which is worse than watching a youtube video. So prepare yourself to shove out the money for a card with 512 MB, probably a higher end GeForce, this can run you about 300.00$. If you purchase this graphics card you will be able to play all the games that are coming out in 2007 to an upwards of several years in the future.

It is an investment that is well worth it in the future, you could be saving money just by not buying a gaming computer, those will run you at least 3000.00$.
