Hi, my Dad has recently started playing my xbox 360 with me over the past month, after a week he went out and brought Call Of Duty 3, we play this quite often online together using 4 player split screen, or he sometimes plays by himself. He really likes this game and I was wondering what sort of similar games there is out there. This is because I want to buy him a new game for christmas.

A bit about my Dad:

• Hes 42
• Casual Gamer
• He is getting quite good at COD 3
  

Looking for any game with:

• Similar style of gameplay to Call of Duty 3
  
• At least 2 player split screen online (hopefully 4)
• Easy to play
• Casual gamers
• Not to many glitches so people cheat online

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated


P.s. I would reccomend Call of Duty 3 to anybody who wants there Dad to play with them, it is fun and cheap and a good starting game to get his skills better

Modern Warfare 2 will not be split screen online.

Left 4 Dead  is and so will be Left 4 Dead 2!

Pick up the first World at War, Modern Warfare as well as Modern Warfare 2 that is coming out in less than a week.  Not sure if MW2 is coop split-screen though.

Modern Warfare would be the nicest thing Imo. Unless the split screen online is so important.

If not would Halo 3 and some other games in that genre be recommended.

I bought the band in box thingie for my brother. For rockband. thats awesome.

This is easy Modern Warfare 2!  Seriously if he likes CoD 3 (the worst in the series), then he will go nuts over MW2.  If he does get it and happens to have a gold account, tell him to throw me a friend request, I would gladly game with him (I'm 31).  The only problem with MW2 is no co-op campaign, instead it has spec ops.  Although CoD 5 world at war would fill that bill although its in the same era as CoD 3, aka WWII.  Enjoy gaming with your dad, I am kinda in the reverse situation and I am teaching my 8 year old son how to play (been a gamer all my life).

As others have said, get Modern Warfare 2 when it comes out, it's going to be great. Halo is a good game to play too, pretty arcadey and a good intro shooter. I'm suprised nobody has mentioned this, but what about buying some MS Points and picking up a few arcade games? He'll probably love Geometry Wars, and basically everyone loves Castle Crashers as well.

To all the people suggesting Modern Warfare 2, the OP wants a game that has splitscreen online. Modern Warfare 2 will not have that. The only ones I can suggest are Halo and Left 4 Dead.

Yeah, but it still has spec-ops, offering the OP and his dad the opprotunity to game together.

And I forgot to mention that L4D 2 is coming out soon, OP shoud try to pick that up too.

Get Left 4 Dead or Borderlands.

I think he would really like Halo 3, so why not get him ODST? That way he basically gets two games in one for $60. He can play ODST and than he has the multiplayer disc for Halo 3 (with all maps included).
My brother is 40 and even though he was never into FPSs, he loves to play Halo 3 online.

I heard Perfect Dark 0 was suppose to come out as a downloadable game, which is sure to meet those criteria for you and your dad...just not too sure when!

Or you could go with the suggestions that were made on your first thread......

This screams Borderlands.  

Borderlands has the exact same FPS controls of the COD games. Now take the wasteland from Fallout 3 mixed with loot collecting of Diablo and Too Human,  then add all the color from Crackdown. After that add in 3 more friends to play co-op with along with 16 million random weapons and a lot of insane action.  Thats Borderlands. Which IMO is GOTY 2009 for 4 co-op campaign.

Join it.

Modern Warfare 2!

mw2 is the obvious choice, also mw1

no-one else has mentioned the GRAW series yet- its a little bit more of a thinking man's(or ladies) game from the run and shoot like the Call of Duty games but he might enjoy it
and there is the Rainbow 6 series- you can't go wrong with any game from the tom clancy section really
also like a few have said borderlands is an awesome game and should keep both of you busy for a while

If your dad likes cartoons, he should like Borderlands.  Seriously, get him a 360 so you and him can co-op some games.
