I read an articule on it and ive heard something but im not sure exactly what the game is about in escence. Someone care to enlighten me?

Freelancer is fuckin' awesome online and offline. Spent 22 hours on SP, surprisingly long for a PC game nowadays, although RPG's take forever, FPS's and such only take about 5 hours...

I've only played the Freelancer demo but it was pretty cool. I've got BF1942:RtR. I just bought R3:Raven Shield on Saturday and it totally rocks! Should've added it to your list. M16:

I'd say the new Rainbow Six.

And guys, we all know about how many of you get your games, just don't discuss it here, please.

Ok, I've narrowed it down to either FreeLancer, bf1942:R2R, and the new Rainbow Six

From what ive seen Rainbow Six is basicly a counter-terrorism FPS, a beefed up CS. So is FreeLancer a big Space-Age RPG/FPS? If I can find it for around $40 i think i'll go with that.
