What is the most realistic fps?

[discovery1]

Simple question:What is the most realistic fps? I remember goog things being said about an operation flaspoint, I think. Mods may be included also.

The most realistic fps is America's Army I would think. It was developed as a training (and recruitment) tool for the Army. It's very, very realistic. Almost too much at times. Plus its free! The only complaint I have against it is the qualifying courses you have to complete before you can play normal and certain classes as well (sniper, medic, etc.) The courses are basically drawn out advertisements with tests afterward.

Red orchestra is quite realistic. A WWII mod for UT2004 set on the Eastern front ~:)
No crosshaairs or other information like how many bullets are in the gun. So you panic if you meet an enemy and run out of bullets ~:eek:
The new version made alot of improvements (There is even a tank map with a driver, gunner and coaxel mg)

Yeah Red Orchestra is a good mod ~:)

I haven't played many FPS and only play them vs the AI.

Ghost Recon felt fairly realistic, but maybe too much so - you often get killed by one shot by someone you don't even see; realistic but not fun. A lot of save and reload; and later taking advantage of previous run throughs of the game so you know where the enemy were. Conversely, you usually kill without being seen - to do otherwise invites disaster. Plus the whole game feels rather soulless.

I much preferred Vietcong. By varying the difficulty level you get go anywhere between Ghost Recon (or tougher) and a more conventional, "shoot me, I can take it" game. I found a happy middle where you could risk a firefight but not feel like the Terminator. The feel of the authentic weapons and taking advantage of cover was great too. Plus I really enjoyed the setting, story and variety of missions.

Both games have a lot of openness and a squad, which I like rather than being sole protaganist moving down the rails. Haven't tried Operation Flashpoint yet but it sounds my cup of tea.

america's army isnt realistic at all!

most realistic is, operation flashpoint or rainbow six series (some of the latter editions (raven shield) is not as realistic as some of the former though)

OpFp is good, but its excellenf FDF(finnish defence forces) is even better. If you play without crosshairs, you really feel the limits of the weapon at 200m.....

[Sjakihata]

both FDF and ECP mods are good, but FDF is the best tho.

Try to say commando in finnish ~;)

I've heard great things about America's Army and it's Sequel, but unitl I try them, the most *realistic* fps----without question----is:

Far Cry!

The Immersion level is the best of any game I've ever experienced or heard of (save the above).

The AI, comparing against the likes of HL, Ureal, and every other FPS I've played, is the most realistic.

Three caveates:

1) About a third of the way thru the game progressess from an excellent *jungle combat* game, to one a *monster* combat game. A bit Sczheprenic (sp?).

2) If sneaking around ala Thief, wasn't your cup of tea, the game might not be for you. The *Stealth* factor is huge.

3) To play the game at or near its maxium effect (the only way to play btw), you need a better than good system. ATI 9700 pro video card or better, at or very near a 3 gigahertz CPU, and a VERY cool system. Not to mention having the latest DX9, BIOS, Chipset Driver, as well as the latest drivers for ALL your hardware.

Far Cry is the most advanced game to date, more advanced than D3 and more than HL2 (at least compared to when HL2 was first supposed to be released).

Oh yeah, I forgot, MP leaves a bit to be desired. I wouldn't reccommend buying for *only* MP. Some people like MP, some don't. Yet, it has HUGE potential.
