Military semi-simulator/sim games
« on: September 29, 2012, 10:07:01 pm »

Anyone got something to suggest? Something in the vein of Delta Force 2, to some extent even Battle Field games. I'm kinda into this kind of semi-realistic/full sim thing. You know - large environments, iron sights and stuff like that.

Games I've already played and enjoyed:
Battlefield 1942
Battlefield 2
Delta Force 1 and 2
Insurgency (Sourcemod)
Something I've already forgotten. >.>

World of Tanks is not a simulation, it is an arcade tank shooter. :>

Try Resistance and Liberation - a Source Mod. It is quite realistic in my opinion.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtVSmLkaNBg" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtVSmLkaNBg</a>

There are some main perks making this 'realistic' like..you have to basically climb over stuff, you can't really jump without getting super-exghausted, or microphone - only local, only people around you can hear you. No HUD. And so on, I won't list everything here, if you are interested just check http://www.resistanceandliberation.com/About .

I guess I am an old school gamer, but day of defeat was a really good world war 2 game. I have yet to try day of defeat source.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R games have some realistic mechanics like, weapon jamming,deterioration,radiation,hunger..ecc and they are good games. I have also read somewhere that they are making S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 so that's something. You should also play Metro 2033, that's another great game but unfortunately its not that realistic.

Metro was pretty realistic, I mean the only this that was somewhat fake was the amount of Health Players / NPC's had. But even then it only took a few shots to take somebody down.

Well, I know one very interesting game, Heroes and Generals. You can play via internet browser and it is "platform" to play strategic map (browser map) and action game (FPS). Here is example video about it.

Resistance and Liberation looks pretty cool. Might give it a shot.

Regarding ArmA 2 and Red Orchestra 2 - I've been looking at these 2 for some time, at this moment I'm dissapointed in my computer, my processor is quite old and can't run neither of those. Darn!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are great, the weapon handling is a great improvement over other games *coughcallofdutycough* where you can empty an entire clip without even moving your mouse and still be able to hit one spot. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but these games are still great. HOWEVER, Gob, you are wrong about the fact that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is coming out. It was cancelled, and GSC (the creators of STALKER games) remade their company, called it Vostok games (Vostok, as in the place of Ukraine), and started a new post-apocalyptic survival MMO. Think DayZ meets STALKER + something.

America's Army - Well, I was dissapointed in AA2, so I'm not so sure about AA3. It just felt too... Too arcadish, yet realistic. It's like somebody threw together Call of Duty and added suppresion effect, made weapon damage times 3 and voila, you got a game that got me nowhere. Let's not even get started about the fact I couldn't find a single server that didn't have some kind of a mod installed on top of it.

A.V.A doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I'm just prejudging, but it looks more like a skill based shooter (which isn't that bad).

Heroes and Generals looks promising, if it has come out of beta phase, I might give that a shot.

It is something in-between.

Forget what I said, looked at some more videos, signed up for the beta. Now I just have to wait... Just have to wait...
