Battlefield 2
Anyone get a chance to play this yet? It's a really good game, I even ordered a new geforce 6800gt video card for it. I kind of suck (I got awarded the purple heart for dying too much) but if anyone here plays it I'd like to play a few rounds with you.
Edit: In case you haven't played it, don't bother googling for screenshots, they don't do it justice

I went to the store to grab it along with a new video card.
Unfortunately the $200 card I got was outdated (according to the box) because GeForce 5700+ where required (I had 5500).
Well I got Half-Life 2 instead and I downloaded the Demo of BF2 to see if it indeed wasn't compatible.
Turns out the demo runs fine and Half-Life 2 was the better game anyway.

Yeah, don't get me wrong BF2 was an amazing experience because of how realistic the game was.
I remember one time I had an anti-tank RPG gun and blew up a jeep full of the enemy troops. I was feeling quite proud until I noticed sniper fire coming my way, I quickly run out of the open area into a safer area away from snipers but seconds later an enemy helicopter spots me and starts firing. I run towards backup and some empty vehicles so I can return fire and on my way to the vehicles an enemy jet drops bombs on my location and myself along with a few others were blown to bits.
Sounds like a bad experience but it was fun. Later in the game I actually piloted a jet and dropped a couple bombs of my own and took out a helicopter so they definately got theirs.
But personally, HL2 death match and CS: Source are more my style.
