In Stalker world, nothing is more powerful than Vodka, people will trade you the location of automatic grenade launchers for Vodka.Dark knifer said:
They do this for a reason, Vodka makes you tougher than every cockroach on earth combined!
so yes, provided you live in the Zone.
In Stalker, Swat or OpFlash, there's a very high chance your opponent will be packing AP or FMJ rounds. Or worse, they'll have explosives. In Red Orchestra you predate body armour and the enemy has tanks. There is also the minor point that in Stalker and OpFlash you can bleed to death, so even if the hit isn't instantly lethal you may only have a short while to do anything about it.zombflux said:
Of course the realism is dropped in that you can self operate and stop the bleeding in both, but any game that let's you live just to die in a surgeon's hand 6 hours later is too much even for realism fans.
Also, what the hell?! Why are you insulting people you've never met? Not nice mate
From everything you've said, SWAT 4 is the game you're looking for, no doubts about it.
Game has a very slow tactical pace with a focus on caution and well thought out planning rather than just run & gun like most other 'tactical' shooters. In Rainbow Six Vegas for example you more or less just shooter everything that moves while the only tactics are whether to dodge behind cover or use grenades or not. In short, it's just a slower paced Gears of War and not terrible clever... fun, I actually enjoy Vegas a fair bit, but it's not tactical. In SWAT 4 however you're not a soldier nor are you fighting an enemy army, you're a police officer. And what that means is that your job is to arrest everyone and *not* kill them. Indeed the game penalizes you if you use deadly force without provocation;
Suspect opens fire on you first, you're allowed to fire back. If they haven't however opened fire, then if you shoot them it could mean a mission failure. This makes for quite a few intense standoff where you're standing there pointing your gun at a suspect and him at you, and you're left wondering whether he's gonna drop it or pump you full of bullets. Intense, but not a situation you want to get into often. The trick is to be tactical, there's that word again, and never give the suspects a chance to raise their weapons even. Flashbangs, CS grenades, Stun grenades, Tazers, beanbag shotguns and pepper ball guns are your best friends since them being non-lethal you're free to open fire as you wish with them.
Oh, and playing this game Co-Op with a buddy or two is some of the most fun and intense gaming you can ever get. Every mission has randomized enemy locations, numbers, and personality so even if you've played a mission a million times it's always an intense experience. It's also perfect for LAN.
Go buy it, now. It's what you're looking for. Guaranteed!

Self explanatory.zombflux said:
Anyway, yes we're nit pickers, we're tactical shooter players, we probably get off to some degree on nit picks.
That's just a rumor. That only works with the Irish and it isn't even Vodka. (I kid. I swear I'm not racist.)fix-the-spade said:Russia manages it fine, why not Ukraine? Plus Vodka cures radiation poisoning! Everyone knows thatfeather240 said:

another human being familiar with Republic Commando? I'll be damned. I suppose the game is a little more mainstreamed that I imagined.lostclause said:
But yes, i would agree that Republic Commando is a tactical shooter. Vegas 2 as well, if you don't mind the AI, which is awful. It isn't even artificial intellegence, it's just artificial.
That's how I spent my friday night last...unfortunetly. Nonetheless, the AI is awful. would you agree?The Rockerfly said:
I like Clancy games on PC, definitely would avoid them on console, because the control schemes for controllers suck pretty hard.
On side note: I wonder why they never made a sequal to Republic Commando, that game was very good (besides the fact that it didn't sell well enough to warrant a substantial base for making a profitable sequal.....)

Really?

The Ghost Recon/SOCOM stuff would probably be your best bet.
I also heard good stuff about Advanced Warfighter. But then, I've only played GR1 and SOCOM2
