Apologies, not really a shooter fan but I liked pretty much everything you said. You tried Halo 1/2/3/ODST? According to my mate; they're good. Killing Floor's great fun for a while, it's on the PC, though.crazyhaircut94 said:Sorry about that. Fixed it now.

Tried Halo, didn't really like it that much. Isn't Killing Floor more of a multi-player game?Jaranja said:Apologies, not really a shooter fan but I liked pretty much everything you said.

Um, I just said that I'd tried Half-Life. I borrowed The Orange Box, and it never started getting fun for me.HG131 said:Ok, listen to me. Go to http://store.steampowered.com/ and then create an account/log in. Find the Half-Life Complete Pack. It comes with Half-Life 1, 2, Lost Coast, Episode 1, E2, Blue Shift, Opposing Force, Team Fortress Classic, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. Buy it. Have fun for a week or more.crazyhaircut94 said:I'm currently aching for some gunslinging fun, so I've been searching for good FPS's. The last really good shooters (single-player wise) I played were Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War 2. I've played good ones, but those were exceptional. I'm getting into Borderlands, but I'm playing on my brother's, and I only visit him once a week. Any tips? I like ones with a little tactical shooting, where it's not just walking into enemy base with bullets flying. But I like when it's a bit more fast-paced shooting, which is why I liked COD4 so much.
Also, while I like Borderlands, I mainly dislike RPG's like Fallout 3 where you have to walk ten miles before you get to shoot anything (and even then it's not that fun). I tried playing F.E.A.R cause it was a 100% FPS with high praise, but the guns were just terrible and there was no satisfaction in killing. (And if you're thinking it, yes, I've tried Half-Life, didn't like it)
EDIT: Sorry for not mentioning, I own a 360 and PC, not a PS3.
Very much this. Rainbow 6 is a fairly punishing game if you don't go into it with tactics in mind.madbird-valiant said:I suggest you try Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas and/or Vegas 2. First Person Shooters with a touch of strategy involved. If you're not picky, there's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and GRAW 2 on the Third Person Shooter front.
Haven't played that, only one and 2 so I can't comment. I do think Rainbow 6 takes the whole realism aspect a bit far so if there's ones that are more so then I probably wouldn't go for them anyway.RAKtheUndead said:Compared to the proper Rainbow Six games, Vegas isn't exactly what you'd call punishing. Then, there's Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis - making Vegas look like a casual gamer's FPS in terms of difficulty.lostclause said:Very much this.

Argh, GRAW was so bad. I managed to struggle through the first few levels but the controls were so sluggish, and my team mates were so utterly incompetent (Seriously, how hard is it to understand "Go over there and shoot dudes"? Why do they always hear "Go and stand in a wide open area and let said dudes shoot you in the face and then ***** like its my fault you're a fucking idiot"), I had to stop playing or my controllers would all have been destroyed from me hurling them at the wall every two minutes.madbird-valiant said:Don't be hatin' on Fallout 3.

Absolutely agree, if you want something strategic. There is nothing more satisfying than setting up the perfect assassination with some poison, a falling piano, or whatever other sneaky method you choose. Being able to calmly walk away from the dirty deed is a great feeling. Of course, if you feel like being more of a Hollywood-style hitman, you can grab an assault rifle and switch into first-person view. My (admittedly twisted) mind really enjoyed the level where the drug lord is holding a birthday party for his kid - dressing as a clown, getting into the party, and then pulling out a gun and killing everyone in the houseHyperactiveman said:- Hitman: Blood Money
What is Killing Floor? From what I've seen, it reminds me a bit of L4D.wordsmith said:Killing Floor? Pure FPS for the PC, £15 on Steam. With the bullet-time/head splattering bit, I think the kills are pretty satisfying.
