Forget the story, graphics and all that jazz. Which game has the best gunplay (and isn't a straight up crappy game, either)

I'll start with one I always hear, F.E.A.R. 1

I agree with you, F.E.A.R has some really excellent gun play. The Call of Duty series is usually pretty good as well.

CoD4 comes closest to best gunplay that I have played in a long time...which is very unfortunate for the FPS genre. (Sorry, can't comment on ARMA2, but I would guess that it is the best so far, haven't played it)

Hmm, I've always felt the guns in BLACK felt really good to fire; I'm actually looking forward to Bodycount quite a lot for that reason :D. The G36C as rendered by Criterion is a weapon I wish were more common in FPS titles.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect is pretty good too. And it's not an FPS, but Freedom Fighters has some really brutal-feeling weapons :D

Crysis certanly has good graphics, but it's not realistic by a long shot, especially the first one.Took 10 bullets to the head to kill a guy.

Anyway, Half-Life 2 maybe? :P

Far cry 2. The guns are varied (IED's and a Flare gun and a dart gun AND a Flamethrower! Yay!), Fire has a physical presence and there is a slide mechanic.

How is Crysis realistic? It has no headshots and sometimes you'll need to unload your whole clip into a simple Korean soldier in order to kill him.

My vote goes to Counter-Strike: Source.

No headshots in Crysis? BS! I got like 500 of them in the campaign, so I don't know what you're talking about(I replayed the game a dozen times).

STALKER series by far, especially Call of Pripyat with its upgrading system. The only game that comes close imo is FEAR. I have a save filefrom justbefore I encounter a sole enemy who is facing in the opposite direction. I reloaded it like 15 times to kill him in the most spectacular ways. The Conduit gets a mention for its satisfactory gunplay with the pistol, the shotgun and the SCAR.

Always liked Halo's gunplay and also the Call of Duty series. One game's gunplay I don't like is Team Fortress 2's.

Lately I would have to say DoD: Source. The strong recoil and general feel of the weapons feel very authentic to me. This, however, is personal taste. FEAR deserves a definite mention.

Both of the F.E.A.R games. (2 wasn't as good as the original, but it is a VERY good game with very good gunplay.) Crysis + Warhead. Killing Floor. Wolfenstein. And Far Cry 2's is surprisingly good. It's a bit floatier feeling than the other games I've mentioned, but the guns have a nice kick to them for the most part. It's a shame that according to Ubisoft, Shirtless African men are bulletproof.

STALKER was great ..especially the fact it used distance drop, elevation, windage etc But FEAR 1 had the most fun in terms of gun battles...the AI was great !! ( Too bad it didn't carry over to Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate )

Huh? The Sierra expansion play exactly the same as Monolith's orginal Fear. Fear 2 on the other hand, things got stripped down.

Left 4 Dead 2 - a great arsenal of weapons that feel extremely powerful, combined with large numbers of enemies in varied scenarios.

FEAR 1, STALKER, CoD1, UO, CoD2, No One Lives Forever for me. Also, a tie between Far Cry 1 & Crysis.

Anyway, Half-Life 2 maybe? :P

coreybg


I strongly disagree. As awesome as HL2 was, it was despite how bad most of the weapons were. The gravity gun was the only well done weapon in HL2. And the super-gravity gun, of course. Most of the other weapons just felt lame, no matter how much I tried to like them. I even hated the magnum, mostly because of the unsatisfying default crosshair. IMO HL1 had much better gunplay than HL2.

The original FEAR. The rule is in shooters the guns have to feel powerful and be loud.

As for Crysis, one shot to the head will kill a Korean. The reason shots to the chest dont kill is theyre wearing body armour from 10 years in the future.

One thing about Crysis I didn't like is that if you throw the Ai off a cliff and he wasn't killed by the throw. He'll take no damage in Ragdoll mode. I wanted to be real evil and throw someone off a huge cliff. So I throw him, zoom in on his ragdolling body and start laughing evily. He then stands up from like a 5 story fall and starts walking into a wall infinitely...
