"Realistic" Fantasy/Sci-Fi Shooter

[josemlopes]

I know this sounds weird, like it doesnt make any sense at all but recently I found some videos of an Unreal mod that made everything all tactical and shit and then there is this other mod that mixes that with the original Unreal campaign basicly making a typical Sci-fi Fantasy game become a "realistic" tactical shooter where the enemies are aliens and monsters.
Here is an example:

Spoiler: Some other videos

So this example is from a really old game and the enemies are very basic, try to imagine if they were more dynamic like the Elites in the Halo series, I think there could be some fun in that.

I know that there are plenty of realistic modern shooters but I think that a game that tried to go after the realism found in an Arma game and mix it with whatever weird aliens/monsters they could create could be a very original take on a somewhat stale genre. Im mostly interested in it because there isnt much like it, although to be honest recently there isnt even that much like Unreal either (there will always be the Doom clones/Quakes/etc...).

Someone needs to make an Arma mod with an alien invasion so that I can grab a jet and destroy the mothership in the end.

Spoiler

Actually there is an Arma mod with an alien invasion now that I did some research but it seems kind of basic even though it does look like it can be something cool to try out.
Poor quality/shaky cam video:

Would you be somewhat interested in seeing something like this?

So you are describing Halo there... you should probably try that, also there is Planetside, Borderlands, Rage, Crysis, Blacklight Retribution, Section 8, ... the new CoD spinoff Titanfall and the Halo spinoff Destiny on it's way.

And from what I can tell those mods just reuse colorful UT assets in a plain old MMS formula... that really isn't much more interesting then the average MMS itself.
What I would like to see is a tactical FPS that actually uses all the cool toys in well structured missions.

The videos dont show very well but that Infiltration mod is pretty much up there with Arma in terms of being a tactical shooter (although the health in the video seems to be somewhat buffed), this page explains it:

So no, its not Halo that I am looking for, its mostly Rainbow Six Raven Shield with aliens or monsters what I am looking for.

Jeffers mentioned Star Wars Republic Commando, I guess thats the closest to it there is as it actually tries to have some basic planning.

Actually RC is the almost perfect example of how it should be done, tactical but none of the cool toys sacrificed for "realism", instead it just goes that much more punishing with enemies.

Where as that Unreal mod sacrifices everything interesting the game brings so it can have some semblance of realism, which is just plain dull.
