gunplay has so much more to do with it that effects and recoil. it's about how fun it is to shoot and kill. In some games the excitment comes from the skill it takes to utterly destroy someone. the feeling of pulling off a sick kill is much more important than any recoil or effects will ever give.

I'm not sure about you and other people... but I find most of the guns in Halo extremely unrewarding to use. Most of them feel underpowered and weak compared to things like the double-barreled shotgun from Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. I didn't think they could make it more powerful than the SuperShotgun from Doom II: Hell on Earth... but they did. So ****ing loud.

Though HL2 isn't the best in any of those catergories, the overall package is better than all of them (imo).

Anyway on topic...

Bad Company 2. The guns feel solid and the sound effects are awesome.

Killzone 2. Sounds great, looks great, plays great, and the AI is great. Sort of speaks for itself.

FEAR by such a wide margin it isn't even funny. Runner ups would be uh Killzone 2 and Bad Company 2 I guess to some degree.

Yep, shooting that A550 or whatever was "AWESOME!". Sadly the game is a sack of crap.

Gunplay to me means it feels natural and I could care less about the rest.

1)Unreal Tournament 2004

2)Quake 3

3)Doom II

I love the old school feel in games as opposed to this clunky new movement and gunplay they have. Two of the things that should be kept out of arcade shooters, like reloading.

No love for MGS4? Detailed reload animations, amazing sound, realistic bullet flight, realistic recoil. It let you change the rate of fire, customize your weapon, and aim down the sights with any gun. And being able to shoot hanging from ceilings or from your back. Awesome, awesome, gunplay.

I thought the gunplay for MGS 4 was quite decent at best. I mean presented nicely, but actually shooting? didn't have much of a real pop to it. The feel just wasn't there, and the enemy AI wasn't exactly fun to be in a shootout with. From a third person shooter standpoint Gears of War and Uncharted 2 certainly were better in the gunplay department. But when I think gunplay. I think "what game makes shooting a mother ****** the most satisfying". In that area MGS 4 just didn't do it for me.

I really like how people are listing F.E.A.R. I feel that it's a game that no one ever mentions even though the gunplay in that was insane. I didn't list that in my top just because I haven't played it in a really long time and I wanted to make sure I'm being accurate.

So it's pretty much F.E.A.R., Killzone 2, Counter-Strike games, and BC2 that are up there?

  1. Resistance: FOM simply for the ingenious weopons, such as the Auger and Hedgehog nade.
  2. Unreal Tournament. Flak Cannon. Nuff said.
  3. Killzone 2 for the visceral experience.

Those shooters have the best feel for the weapons.

:o, teh MOD used KZ2 and Crysis in the same sentence to compliment both games! Quick, somebody postz teh Crysis pics! :P

Honestly, KZ2 has one of the best, visceral, intense, most satisfying gunplay i have ever felt, since:

  • It has the best weapon models in gaming...Honestly no game can even compare to how amazing the weapon models look
  • The particle effects created/formed when shooting the gun
  • The incedible sound effects when the bullets are fired, and the sound created when the bullets hit their target (whether it be an object, or NPC/player)
  • The weight and feel to the guns as you move/shoot

Bad Company 2, Left4Dead2, Halo3. Gears2 has the best third person gameplay

PAL360

IMHO every game here qualifies except foir this game. I love this game greatly, but the gunplay on this game is weak. The guns are extremely inaccurate, with the exeption of the sniper rifle zoomed in.

Gears is my own personnel fav. the sound of the guns, the blood effects and the active reload make it the best gunplay in a game for me.

Gears

BC2

GTA4 tied with L4D2

and by looking at many of the responses in this thread I really got to go give Killzone 2 a chance. It's on my to do list.

Weapon Sounds- MW2 Shooting Satisfaction- Uncharted 1 and 2 Enemies Bullet Reactions- Killzone 2
