What are you guys recommending as an FPS?

Just this second finished a half-hour session with a bunch of strangers (coop v bots) and it is good fun. I died a lot and we bonded a bit. Would be great on TS with like-minded souls. Hit me up (or whatever the kidz say) on Steam if you fancy a go. I even have a TS server available.

Do kidz say 'fancy a go?'

Damn - busted.

Actually, as I'm English, perhaps I should say "rumbled", or "cor blimey guv, you've got me there".

Ahem. In the end, IMHO, it's a fun game, and, I think, worth a Groggy look.

Red Orchestra 2, ARMA 3 or Verdun if it's online realistic fps you want.

Co-op is where it's at in my opinion, it's what sets Insurgency apart from the rest. The AI bots are absolutely mental and I find with groups of randoms that we lose far more often than we win.

It helps to actually read the OP before responding, instead of just the thread title and then going for broke. O0

This sort of thing gives me the horn...

It's a Mount and Blade mod called "North and South".

I have put almost 3000 hours into Ro2... Still the bestww2 fps out there... lately my game of choice is BF4...... its fast paced, but it can be a lot of fun especially if you have someone to play with...
I also enjoyed Bf3.

FPS games and I parted ways some years ago over motion sickness. The ridiculous gun-bob in ARMA makes it unplayable for me and that's always made me a bit sad...

That aside, the one that's managed to remain in my library is CS:GO. It's still being regularly updated, has a hojillion unlocks, upgrades, &c., and fits nicely the bill of "run, shoot, duck, shoot, jump, shoot...DAMMIT, dead...restart".

Has anyone tried Project Reality for BF2? I went on to YouTube last night to watch Falcon BMS videos and somehow got sidetracked into watching project reality vids. Holy crap it looked awesome! It's amazing what they've managed to do with the old BF2 engine. Lots of factions with unique weapons, vehicles and gear and it's still being actively supported and developed. A whole set of Falkland war maps and factions are in development currently.

Anyway, it's obviously geared toward mp, but does have bots and most maps can be played sp. it's a 7 gig download and does not require the original bf2 to play!

Check it out.

I played a little back when it was still a mod for BF2. Had one or two pretty fun games but for the most part the game was full of Walter Mitty try-hards who took the "reality" part of the title too seriously and spent most of their time trying to out-"tacticool" each other and whining about who was where in the chain of command and who took who's helicopter/jeep/tank/binky. Decent enough game, annoying community.

I just ran across their page again recently, didn't know it had become a standalone. Might download it to see what's changed since I won't have to go try and find my old BF2 disc lol.

Aren't they the guys doing squad?

Trooperc7 · November 23, 2015, 09:22:52 AM

Project Reality is/was a wonderful realistic shooter. it really shined when you had a good squad leader and a good commander......

I played a single player round last night as the IDF against Hamas. The bots seem to just gravitate toward the center of the map and then duke it out, and they are also crack shots, but it was still a pretty intense experience. With a bunch of serious players I see this being a very good gaming experience.

Hey JH, I gotta thank you for pointing this mod out. I had come across it a while back when I was looking for a Falklands mod for ARMA. I didn't realize it was stand alone now- that changes everything.

I'm definitely going to download this and give it a try.
