Any good war sims?

Hello again,

Could someone recommend a good war simulater? I don't want a flying one or tanks or any other vehicle's. I want a infantry or special ops sim. Do they even make those? If they dont then recommend me the most realistic war or shooting game.

Thanks!

What is STEAM?

There's also Operation Flashpoint, though that includes planes, tanks and other vehicles. I think you can get Flashpoint and both expansion packs for about $10 these days.

Not the best graphics ever, but a fun game and a number of armies use the 'professional' version for combat training.

not very IMO, you know something is wrong when it is easier to kill someone at long distance using a pistol instead of a m4 or sniper rifle.

any rainbox six game , those are old though so you probably have destroyed them....

Call of Duty 4 looks great...

Most games aren't necessarily that realistic.. I mean shooting someone from 900 yards into the wind takes a little bit of skill .... you just don't point a click with scope. bullets drop in a natural parabolic arch? if you want really realistic haha....

I like F.E.A.R. the slow motion and the girl shooting out flames was pretty sweet.. and the Ant Lions in Half Life 2 ? You could totally open an inter dimensional portal to an Alien World ? I mean that's probably why Hillary Clinton is running for President? Unforseen Consequences Mr. FreeMan.... lol... thats believable...

nothing like a bolt action rifle though.

Yeah there is a demo, but unless it's been updated it will not run very well. The full game runs great though. Thing about OFP and ARMA is that it is too realistic and does take some getting used to. I think that is down to all the games that are so unrealistic becoming the norm making all realistic games seem strange.

But once you get over that initial hurdle the game turns in to one of the best experiences you will ever have, turning that realistic games comment on it’s head. I can still remember that moment in OFP when my whole squad gets killed and I have to make my way back to the retreat point by my self with a whole battalion of enemy’s scattered around the 10 kilometres to the retreat point. The funny thing is the whole game is not scripted what so ever.

I had to sprint through a forest and managed to find a car lying at a derelict house. I stole the car and had to speed away from 2 BMP’s But unfortunately I buckled the cars front rendering it useless and had to sprint to a nearby wood where I discovered there was about 3 squads who noticed me coming strait at me. Forcing me to crawl on my belly for about 500 metres till I could run away from them on a 4 kilometre sprint with them bursting out fire at me.

That’s the thing, if I taken that like any other game and tried to just take on all those 3 squads by my self I would have been handed my testacies to play with. It is virtually imposable to play OFP or ARMA like you would any other first person shooter. If you do you will get very annoyed and just end up hating the game. Similar to what it’s like with Hitman the game, you need to play that in a different play style than to what is the norm and a lot of people don’t like that.

But if like me you love change for the more realistic then you will love ARMA.

All you need is Call of Duty 4. It's excellent in both single-player and multi-player. It's not a hardcore "realism" game instead it opts for the "realism of movies" if that makes sense. It's outstanding modern war action.

Because it runs like crap and the sights keep moving for a second after you stop moving the mouse, so hitting ?

I expected a lot from Armed Assault, but the demo was just horrible. I suppose it's possible that the full game is better, but the demo was so bad I never had any desire to investigate further.

Ah, yes. I would also go for the K98 or Springfield in every WWII game I played. I also love the M1 Garrand just for the semi-auto, plus the sound when you run out of ammo. So much fun.

OK... one thing I liked about Flashpoint was that the developers kept releasing patches and free upgrades for a long time after it was released.
