GameInformer: Military shooters have a long and venerable history in video games. Before Call of Duty and Battlefield began their war for complete market domination, smaller series like Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and SOCOM provided different takes on digital warfare. These series differentiated themselves – and the military shooter genre – from other FPS franchises like Quake and Halo by emphasizing strategy and realism. Forgoing roller-coaster spectacle and nonstop action, they presented gamers with a pseudo-authentic military experience where every shot counted and tactics played a larger role in the outcome of a mission than itchy trigger fingers.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
The dates for CSGO Majors and RMR events in 2022 and 2023 have been outlined by Valve in a recent email to tournament organizers.
A security researcher found a “critical” bug in Valve’s game engine that powers the popular online game. And the company has been slow to fix it.
If you want more realism in your shooter than these are the 4 to get and play.
These titles are for the HARDCORE shooter fan who understands that one bullet can send you to the graveyard so all you Rambos need not apply!
Arma II is imply the best and most realistic shooter ever. the vehicles, weapons, physics, ballistics, the tactics, the tools for strategy, scale of the game is second to none.
Nothing is better than Arma II except for the upcoming Arma III which takes it all to new levels.
Red Orchestra 2 is hands down the greatest WWII shooter ever! It's gritty, realistic, and painfully fun. So realistic that my butt starts to hurt and i can smell diesel fuel when i'm in the tank. I love shooting a wooden fence to splinters and then seeing a Russian soldier fall to his death. No other game provides that much realism.
Counter Strike is like the granddaddy of them all and is played by gamers with over 10 years experience in the game but luckily it has a skill ladder so noobs never play with hardcore Vets.
America's Army 3 is pretty dam realistic for a free game. along the lines of Arma II but just way way smaller scale and matches are shorter.
