2 Great Games This Week, Which One?!?!

Well im prob the biggest fan of bf42, and have been looking forward to vietnam since i first heard it was being made. But now that ive downloaded the ut 2004 demo and played it tonight, i have not clue which one i will buy, itll be a store decision(which one looks better on box )

SO What do you guys think will be better?

Hard to say. Depends on your particular preferences.

I'd get UT '04, but that is only me.

I like BF better then UT. I hate all that unrealistic overly flashy SI-FI junk. I like realistic games. And you can do much more in BF with the big maps and vehicles(dont forget the helicopters)

Why can't we have both! I'll prolly be playing Unreal more (I wonder why) but it'll be nice to mix it up with some BFV. Some of those BFV levels look amazing. And how fun is to just run over ppl with your manta and raptor! Ppl never see my raptor coming to make them road kill. It's great.

What are your computer's specifications?
Both games, are great, but I'd get the one that performs best on your system. UT04 has major improvements, but takes 3 gigabytes of space.

I'd personally go with Unreal Tournament 04.

If all goes like it's supposed to and Amazon doesn't drop the ball, UT04 SE will be at my door the 18th then FarCry will be next.

Is UT2K4 an expansion? because it is at Expansion prices (Ł17.99) and not new game prices (Ł25.00) weird

I reserved a copy of UT2004 for $5 yesterday...I'm probably going to get BF Vietnam as well because of what everyone is saying...but I'll waste my time on UT first. Yay for spring break!

I wonder why the standard edition specs call for 3.5Gb of HDD space and the Special DVD edition calls for 5.5Gb HDD space?

I would personally go with BF but this might have to do with the fact that i'm studying WWII right now (even if it is vietnam)

i hated the UT2k4 demo
it seemed like a pointless and mindless FPS
i enjoy the tactical aspect of battlefield in addition to the mindless slaughter so i would prefer BF:V

and i would love to airlift a tank right onto charlie's head
