Game Forum / PC Games / Action Games / September 2008"Decent" "realistic" multiplayer FPS recommendations?
I'm looking for a "decent" multiplayer FPS game that still has people playing. By "decent" i mean non-TF2, non-COD4 kiddie multiplayer FPS with ducking/hopping/knifing grenading. Battlefield blows chunks. I hate vehicles. I just want guns and soliders and some kind of realism. Do a lot of people still play Operation Flashpoint? What about Ghost Recon? Stalker: Clear Skies multiplayer a valid option? Stalker #1 had small maps from what I remember. I don't want small maps! Vietcong? Sometimes I like sniper maps, where it's just you and another couple players sniping it out. I like the "taking your time" type of gameplay sometimes. And then I like taking my rifle and hunting down the enemy. I miss the Rainbow Six days - the Bank level was one of my favorites. > I'm looking for a "decent" multiplayer FPS game that still has people > playing.

That isn't the point of the simulation though. If you shoot someone you don't expect to see that kind of rediculous Hollywood effect of people being blown off their feet and getting thrown 10 feet backwards. And if you are playing a game like this looking for realism, the quality of the animations shouldn't be your priority, although they could do with improvement I admit. For the record, the animations in VBS2 are better and are continually worked on, with the military sponsors help of course! > > I'm looking for a "decent" multiplayer FPS game that still has people > > playing.

Red Orchestra - I never heard of that I'll check it out. I'll look into that Battlefield mod but I'm not at all too keen on mods. > I'm looking for a "decent" multiplayer FPS game that still has people > playing.

The realism mod for BF2 is very good. > I just want guns and soliders and some kind of realism. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I miss the Rainbow Six days - the Bank level was one of my favorites. The best one I've played in a while is Insurgency for HL:2. http://www.insurgencymod.net/ Red Orchestra is the most realistic IMO. No artificial on-screen crosshair, realistic magazine capacity tracking and reloading. You can even fix bayonets on the K98 and like guns. It does have some vehicles though. I don't know if people still play Operation Flashpoint, but Armed Assault seems to have its loyal fanbase. I personally like Day of Defeat. It's a bit like Counterstrike, but less noobs. >Red Orchestra is the most realistic IMO. No artificial on-screen >crosshair, realistic magazine capacity tracking and reloading.

They are in active use by many militarys around the world for training, including the US, UK and Australia. Don't let the graphics fool you. It may not be cutting edge, although Armed Assault 2 is just around the corner, nothing beats these games for realism apart from Steel Beasts for tank combat only. > Armed Assault and VBS1/2 without a doubt. You forgot to tell him about the crap physics and animations in ArmA. Can't comment on VBS though as I don't pay over a grand for a game. >> Armed Assault and VBS1/2 without a doubt. > >You forgot to tell him about the crap physics and animations in ArmA.

I know which is the better game. "Mr. Stabby" <dbateman@gmail.com> wrote in news:f8880b77-f524-4905-a95e- 3d18ce9f5fd6@y21g2000hsf.googlegroups.com: > I personally like Day of Defeat.

I haven't myself, but supposedly it was developed to be used in the training of America's Armed Forces. I don't think it has the same level of gloss or player base of COD4 or BF2, but it is targetted at players that want more realism which some will automatically consider as "not fun". The MP of FARCRY might suit ...can take lots of time & thought in a simple framework. There is maybe the current all MP QUAKE WARS ... there is a full working BIG level demo lots of bouncing around tho...and I for one, can't work out what the Hell your trying to achieve in it.

I have Quake Wars and it is a deep FPS MP game but as you say it is also confusing. It's not realisitc though so not what he is looking for. dont get me started on operationflashpoint. no game has ever seemed as amazingly deep and given me such fun as that one. thanks to their encredible editor and free roaming huge Island enviroments I had created missions that were in my eyes as good and enjoyable as any war movie. up till I got that game I had always thought of war sims beeing kind of arcardish. I wont forget when I first fired it up,a enemy tank rolled into town and I hit it with a couple rockets and imagine my surprise when the crew jumped out,ran over to a hill, and laid down and started firing at me with their machine guns and lobbed grenades forcing me to back off and then......they ran back in their tank and then rolled off away. I was like woah. unfortuatly ,technical issues are not allowing m to play armed assault. but hopefully armed assault 2 will work better for my computer. known12 <tie702003@yahoo.com> wrote in news:f3dea07e-9ed9-4527-adeb- eb30659e3425@p25g2000hsf.googlegroups.com: > unfortuatly ,technical issues are not allowing m to play armed > assault. but hopefully armed assault 2 will work better for my > computer. What issues? I have it running fine on Vista64 even. Go to the ArmA simhq.com forum and they can help you get it running fine. > known12 <tie702...@yahoo.com> wrote in news:f3dea07e-9ed9-4527-adeb- > eb30659e3...@p25g2000hsf.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > What issues?

Go to the ArmA > simhq.com forum and they can help you get it running fine. thanks I will check that place out. the AA graphics are very fluid and beautiful for me, unfortuatly, there just is something wrong with my character movement such as aiming or running. its like my character is drunk, or sluggish or too loose. I just cannot find a nice dry tight medium like I had in operationflashpoint as far as aiming or weapon movement.Iin opfp I could spin around and put a bead on a running soldier.now its like my soldier is drinking jagermeister. after playing with the aiming controls mouse stuff, my soldiers gun swings wildly, or itstoo slugish. just cannot get a feel. very weird. I am thinking its a glitch or something but I saw others complained about it elsewhere and even on this forum. anyways,I'm goign to be optimisitic about armed assault 2. but I will check out your link. thanks! morvak <morvak@gmail.com> wrote in news:4747429c-2ec0-410d-8d76- 5a6e4fbb89dd@z72g2000hsb.googlegroups.com: > I'm looking for a "decent" multiplayer FPS game that still has people > playing. > > By "decent" i mean non-TF2, non-COD4 kiddie multiplayer FPS with > ducking/hopping/knifing grenading. Red Orchestra. Some maps do have tanks though. Still, if you want a more realisitc game then it is for you. No bunny hopping, you have to use relistic tactics to win. |
