Most realistic First Person Shooter

I am looking for the most realistic FPS with the following mechanics:

1- Just one bullet in the face or heart from any calliber from any distance = death like in real life

2- Using a bazzoca will reveal your position to the entire enemy squad

3- Carrying big guns will make you run much slower than carrying a pistol

ARMA 2 is the closest I can think of.

Arma 2.

ARMA II takes the top spot easily, but Red Orchestra 2 adds a few nice touches in WWII (like more gun control, cover and swaying), and the America's Army games really do a great job as well, especially for free games (though they are sponsored by the actual Army).

Did somebody say... Arma II?

prolly red orchestra 2

people say arma 2 but you feel so disconnected from the actual game imo

My votes go to RO2 and ARMA2

Arma is more of a sim then a fps game, so it is kind of a given, Its fairly good, altho sometimes it gets so clunky that it pulls you out of the mindset.

RO2, is more focused, less diverse, and more of a "true" fps game.

It has most what you are looking for. A bullet to the head, heart or most of centre mass, WILL kill you outright. Arms and legs will require a bandage or bleed to death.

Smaller calibres will kill to the head or heart, and will require bandaging everywhere else, but 3-4 bullets will likely kill you even in the extremeties.

It is a fairly slow paced and methodical game, due to its higher level of realism then most shooters. It does however have some problems ,and some thing are pretty poorly done in it, Tanks and artillery being the most notible. There is no inf type "heavy weapons" outside MGs however, so no bazooka or and the like. (would have killed for a flamethrower tho)

thats what i was thinking...there's a reason people use different rounds for different ranges...if i shoot a .45acp at you from a 2km away...im going to have to shoot fairly high of you and while itll hurt, it probably wont be lethal depending where you get hit...now .338 lapua at 2 km...you're will have a hole about the size of my fist at the exit point...not to mention .50bmg...

Modern Warfare 3...but RO 2 the most imo and then ARMA 2, it's a great simulator, but it just tries too hard imo, like Jiggly said, it makes you feel disconnected from the game.DanielDust

It's not too realistic, it's hyper realistic, it exceeds realism, everything is too sluggish and inconsistent, shooting is pretty fine, but everything else is just exaggerated, it's the result you'd have if some average Joe without any muscles or training would suddenly be sent on the battlefield, except you're playing and apparently extremely fit and experienced guy.

It's a compensation for the inability to model in solider fatigue, moral, accuracy, and all of that.

In ArmA 2 every solider is a damn crack shot, an emotionaless stone, and a power plant of energy that needs no food or water.

To make it worse, the scale of ArmA is also tiny. Cities are tiny and the maps are still only a scale of real life. If they would bring up the pace of everything, the whole realistic setting would be ruined.

Operation Flashpoint ?Sentinel112

Modern Warfare 3DanielDust

I don't feel disconnected from Arma at all. Goofs aside, I think it's one of the most immersive first-person games around once you get used to it. At least you don't feel like a 150cm tall tripod on wheels like in Half-Life 2. Because of my Arma experience I actually feel a bit out of touch in other first person shooters.

Other realistic games are the early Rainbow Six games, Operation Flashpoint (although it is way less successful than Arma), America's Army and Red Orchestra, although the latter game I feel tries to hard. I feel like I'm playing in slow-motion at times.

Plus I'm pretty sure with bullet drop in, it would be practically impossible for smaller caliber weapons to hit from so far away in those games anyways. Doesn't Arma II have extensive ballistics and bullet drop for its weapons?

Though getting shot in the head is fatal something like 95% of the time, according to MANswers (a source which is NEVER WRONG DON'T EVEN TRY TO DISPROVE IT!)

ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. Man It's hard to beleiev no one said ARMA 2 at all this thread:P

Probably ARMA II. I know they made a lot of noise about their parabolic bullet trajectories being the same as real life and such. ;)

Serious sam?

While it hasn't hit the stores yet, Ground Branch is gonna be the FPS to have if you like Tac-Sims. The devs are trying to work out all those things Wasdie was talking about that have yet to be integrated into any game and getting them to work.

A former Green Beret/instructor and his buddies have been involved in it and the one has already done motion capture movements involving movement and weapon changes and reloading. They are also working on what they call true first person views for weapons.

I dont know how people call arma 2 realistic. It has like the most unrealistic animations (slow and very weird), characters are stick figures. Shooting is very weird, and I think the developers have never fired rifle.

Edit: But yeah if I had to say arma 2. Project Reality is quite good too.

ARMA 2 is the only answer.

if you want soemthing more arcade but more(somewhat) realistic, i suppose Battlefield 3 is a good choice.

Hmmmmmmmm, first link leads to the Blackfoot Studio's website while the second leads to the Ground Branch website, which does include a KS teaser video.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Just curious, have you ever been in military gear? I'm not saying you haven't (I know there are plenty of military people on these forums), but you seem to know how a soldier would move on the battlefield. spittis

The question is "most realistic FPS", not "life-like war simulator". Obviously no FPS will ever come close to reality.

Call of Duty MW3. Nuff said.
