Can you think of any games like America's Army or Swat 4 where the guns are very deadly and accurate? Im looking for a game where you can't bunnyhop and unload clip after clip into people and still not kill them, Im talking 1-3 shots and a kill.

Dragon Rising is made by a completly different developer then the original game, its far less realistic, and lacks virtually all of the features that made the original so good.

Arma 2 is made by the same developers as OPF, uses the same engine (just a newer version), has virtually the same interface (with some tweaks of course), and has pretty much identicle gameplay to the original OPF, just expanded and brought up to the current standard. Anyone who has played Arma 2 and OPF will instantly recognize the similarities between them.

Bohemia interactive who made the original OFP split with Codemasters. Because Codemasters owned the rights to OFP they had to continue the series under the title ArmA which was followed by ArmA 2.

Just playing them you can tell which is the real sequel and which is the crappy console game.

Yeah but sadly it takes 4-5 hits to kill someone. It kind sucks using the m16 with a three round burst at close range and the enemy surviving the attack.

Arma 2 is a plausible choice, that is, if you have a behemoth for a rig. That game barely did 20 fps average on a system consisting of a Core i7, 6GB RAM and a GTX285. The textures look dated, the character models are weird, the animation is not good and the environmental details are not that inspiring. I see absolutely no optimization in the game whatsoever.

Bull. I get 40+FPS on mostly max settings (With view distance the only one that isnt). Graphics isnt everything either. I also got the demo to play on a 2ghz athlon, 2gb ram, and an 8600gt. At about low-med settings with 20fps.

So what? If a game massacres my rig, there'd better be something to show for it(Crysis for example). So far I've seen nothing, nada, zilch. The gameplay is good, no problem in that area. But what the hell did it need all that resource for? Is the whole map pre-rendered?

I thought the original F.E.A.R. had respectable game play in it's Hardest mode of play. But it has no replay value. There's always Counterstrike, though...

Its an open world game with a 150 square mile map with a ton going on all the time...what do you think they use the recources for?

So freaking what? There are others with bigger maps needing less resources. FUEL had 5560 sq miles, 150 is a dwarf compared to that. I'm asking whether the whole map is pre-rendered in Arma 2, that is all I want to know. You're not gonna convince me that it's a properly optimized game because I know it's not, so don't bother. Just answer my question.

I don't see why Bad Company 2 on a Hardcore server can't be considered realistic. I'm in the military, I can honestly say the guns, climate, and stamina function pretty close to the realistic side. (minus the defibulators and med kits lol)

I've never played a realistic shooter. They all have some arcade quality to them, because they aregames after all. Removing the crosshairs forcing them touse the fixed sight, aimpoint or scope will get rid of the bunny hopping. They can still fire off the shoulder or at the hip but without a crosshair. Make the gun swing & bobout of sightwhen they move quickly or jump & duck. Jogging and aiming a pistol isn't too difficult but hitting something straight ahead while moving is. With a carbineYour shoulders and torsomove and sincethe sight is so narrow you can't keep it focused while moving. Unlike the games your eyes will keep adjusting from long to short range and never adjust to the peep sight since it's the size of a pin hole.

The game looks amazing with everything at max in DX11 on my 480, but I only get about 30 fps with dips as low as 20 sometimes lol.

Agreed. 100% kills the game for me. It's sluggish on any computer, no matter what your specs. I've played it on 3 different PCs, and while it runs decent on my I7 930 @ 4.2ghz, 6GB RAM, and 5850 - there's a lot of input lag and doesn't look that good.

ArmA 2 runs fine on my system scaled, so I do not see what people are complaining about - and I have seen it running on far superior systems to mine at good framerates on high visual settings.

Otherwise OP there is:

Rainbow Six Raven Shield
SWAT 3
Hidden and Dangerous 2
Red Orchestra

Off the top of my head.

ArmA 2 is as real as a military themed shooter gets, and has a scope unmatched by any shooter (and very few any games).

Keep in mind the game needs to be patched, and is an improvement with modifications - particularly the ACE2 mod, and other a.i. mods like Zeus.The amount of user made content out there for it (and OFP) is phenomenal.

Otherwise if you want a shooter that still has some realistic principles check out Operation Flashpoint 2 (which isn't made by the original devs of the first), and the Brothers in Arms series.

I'm an ex ranger and I'd have to lean on the Rainbow Six games. Big time realism. Also this Arma 2 looks good. Although, I don't know how much I would play in single player. I think I'm a bit burned out on FPS games.
