A "realistic" FPS?

I feel like playing a FPS at the moment but I don't like the concept of some where it takes like 30 bullets to kill a guy -.- Can you recommend me any FPS that doesn't do this? Story isn't really an issue, I honestly just feel like shooting stuff but as mentioned above, I don't feel like fireing at one enemy for like 5 seconds in order for him to die already...

Arma 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2 are some good recent shooters that have more realistic shooting mechanics.

Yeah.. ArmA is the first thing that comes time mind when I hear "realistic" shooter.

Oh yeah Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is a great choice. :D

CoD games and battlefield 3, i find the enemys die pretty fast.

No game is really that realistic in my opinion.

OP, ArmA for military, RB6 for tactical whatever else you want to call it. Ghost Recon games are great for this too.

Lol, i'm not. I wasn't even that great of a soldier. I'm, just saying I don't think any game has really impressed me on realism terms yet. I'm sure one day a game will get it right. So far Arma is the best though.

In Arma it does take shooting 30 bullets to even hit an enemy :P

One of the things I dislike about the internet is you see more and more young soldiers claiming to be "combat vets". Perhaps you are, but please don't overuse the term and make it like some kind of internet badge of honor. The more you see young troops make this claim the less respect it will garner and become sort of a joke. I say this as I am sure you mean well, but please keep it to yourself and the people who truly know you, not some anonymous internet poster you are trying to impress or prove a point to.:)

Why should he? He went out and fought for this country so he has every right in the world to gloat. If you were a vet you would do the same.

Also you are aware anyone who has fought in a war is a vet? You could be 20 years old and be a vet.

Project reality, its a mod for ARMA2 or BF2.

SWAT 4 and ARMA

ArmAFelipeInside

If you want to go realistic than ArmA is your best bet. A bit too realistic for me.

Red Orchestra 2 : Heroes of StalingradTreflis

Also a great choice. Shooting someone in the head or in the heart means instant death.

I play hardcore mode in games like COD and BF.. Because I cannot stand the "bullet sponge" effect.

having to nail a guy with half a clip sometimes is just plain ridiculous. I remember BFBC2 suffering from this far more than COD. If this was the issue.

If you really want some Military realism FPS games, some older ones are Operation Flashpoint (cold war crisis) and some newer ones are Arma and Arma II.

While I do not feel he should have to keep it to his self, (as some forget the 1st amendment quite often) gloating about it though, is no better my friend.

I am an 11 year Army veteran from 1989 to 2000. I spent the bulk of my Army career as a 95B MP. I deployed to Desert Shield and Desert Storm on Feb 6 1991. I spent my time in the gulf working a PSD for LTG Calvin Waller the Deputy Commander to "Stormin" Norman Swarczkopf, and after returning to the states I did a tour on the trail at Ft. McClellan, AL with B Co 787TH MP Co. My CO was CPT Samuel Mansburger. During that time I earned a Legion of Merit, a MSM, Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf clusters, and a NDSM. I got out as an E-7 SFC. Now after giving you part of my military resume I must say that it feels so good to do so, as I have never done that on the internet and after all these years I really needed to get it out of my system, and "gloat" on it while talking to someone I don't know and will never know. Yeah right........

I weep for the military if this is what the thinking is amongst current active duty members and veterans. To the poster in question. I meant no disrespect. I only asked that you not put it out that you are a "combat vet" for so trivial a reason. If you truly are a "combat vet" then you understand that war and combat is such a terrible and life changing experience that the simple act of talking about it should be treated with the solemn respect it deserves. It's not to be used as a "punch line" or something to gloat over while trying to impress people on an internet forum. Your combat patch means something so you should treat it with respect whenever possible.

Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear are good in those regards as well as Ghost Recon.

I did not ask him to keep it to himself . My exact words " Please keep it to yourself and the people who truly know you." I feel it does a disservice to veterans and active duty to go on internet forums and nonchalantly call yourself a "combat vet" for trivial reasons. We in the military tend to look at these types of posters with a mild disdain to say the least, and at the worst these people are quite often what we refer to as "posers". These are people who claim to be combat vets and holders of various medal and ribbons without having earned the right to do so. The mere fact that they make these claims is suspicious as most combat vets and such do not often easily speak of they're experiences.

That is all I will say on it, because it is quite off topic.

On topic I remember seeing Arma I on Gog.com, for a pretty decent price.

If they just left it as it is, there would be a hell of a lot more terrorists attacks since 9/11. So yes, fighting for their country is the correct term.

This is not really the place for this, but I must say, that if any other country came onto these two country's soil and did half of the things these two countries still do (in other countries) around the globe, WWIII would have already came and gone. So please do not be blinded by your own hypocrisy, and lets not turn this into something it really doesn't need to be. The Original Poster asked a freaking simple question, not to be bombarded by all this nonsense.

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and Resistance (the expansion) Stay away from the Codemasters OFP gaames.

Arma2

Rainbow 6 Raven shield and earlier R6 games

Ghost Recon 1

Lol stop giving him realistic games that not what he wants.....what he wants is ............

GAMES WHERE IT IS EASY TO KILL ENEMYS IN ONE OR TWO SHOTS

I play hardcore mode in games like COD and BF.. Because I cannot stand the "bullet sponge" effect.

having to nail a guy with half a clip sometimes is just plain ridiculous. I remember BFBC2 suffering from this far more than COD. If this was the issue.

Lach0121

A very strange choice, but I would go for The Killing Floor.

It has this kind of realistc gun feel to it, the shooting is weighty but powerful, and the zombies are implemented in a way that I feel zombies should be implemented as in slow moving monsters of society.

Only thing I feel unrealistic is the slow motion mechanic and the pixie dust trail that guides you to the shop.

Of course, for real, REAL realistic games just go for the Operation Flashpoint series. Heck, even Counter Strike with it's mechanic of no respawning is kind of realistic in a sense. Finally, SWAT 4 I feel is incredibily realistic and, oh, there is this interesting military training game that is quite realistic. :)

Arma 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2 are some good recent shooters that have more realistic shooting mechanics.

MyopicCanadian

Game Informer actually made a big list of hyper realistic shooters you should check out, its on their website somewhere. Here are my picks:

Arma 2

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

America's Army 3 (also, its free!)

Red Orchestra 2

Rainbow Six series (the Vegas games are a tad more mainstream, but still incredibly hardcore and strategic on the higher difficulties)

I'm kind of sad we have all these realistic military games but someone hasn't made a hyper realistic bank robbing sim against the more arcadey Payday: The Heist. It would be pretty rad.

ArmA II and Battlefield 3. Or wait for ArmA III.

Arma I+II,CoD : MW1,BF3,Rainbow six Vegas 1,2 well this is what i can remember for now XD
