Which type of shooter do you prefer (and why)?

I don't think magic or trolls exist. :P

I don't think English speaking aliens and giant, galaxy destroy rings exist either.

[QUOTE="Phoenix534"]

[QUOTE="UT_Wrestler"] Yeah those are definitely a little more realistic, but they're all still along the same lines of being more realistic than Halo or Gears of War.UT_Wrestler

Definetly. But, if anyone here has played the original Rainbow Sixes and the Vegas games, you should know what I'm talking about when I said what I said. Also, I can't think of a single game less realistic than Halo.

Yeah, but the Tom Clancy series used to have a lot more realism than the New Tom Clancy series.

Maybe magic and trolls existed hundreds of years ago.

Maybe magic and trolls existed a few hundred years ago.

[QUOTE="Innocentguy757"]Halo is not run and gun unless you're a noob. Then every game is run and gun.UT_Wrestler

Run and Gun is ruining the FPS genre. Developers can cheap out and replace weapon authenticity with there own sort of weaponary balance.

i.e. Most of you should be familiar with Call of Duty World at War.

Many players will opt for a weapon such as a German MP 40 for its high rate of fire. This weapon has an effective range of roughly 100 M.

However, you will notice some players will use the weapon to fire down longer ranges to great avail.

I have no problem with this at all, but as far as historical accuracy goes, Treyarch really drops the ball.

We need games that minimize weapon spamming and play more into tactical weapon usage. (If you know PC game titles check out Call of Duty United Offensive)

Pulling the trigger shouldnt be the auto win. Knowing how far your target is and if you can kill him or not needs to happen a bit more.

Sem-Tactical. It's what I think when I think of a FPS.

Call of Duty 2 is probably my favorite FPS ever.

[QUOTE="xxDEUCExx"][QUOTE="x_buckets_x"]gta anyone?Phoenix534

Big problem right there. FPSs aren't the only shooters out there.

My favorite are the shooters your labelled tactical simulations. Started with the first Rainbow Six on PC, really got into it with SWAT3 and Rogue Spear and have loved this subgenre above all other types of shooters.

I like all of them except for Run & Gun.

Hybrid. Normal shooters to me are usually stale, tired and true formulas.Haziqonfire

The one that has guns firing bullets.
