    Default recommend me a shooter

    i need another shooter for PC to get my heart pumping. i was going to reinstall rainbow six vegas but there is some bug that makes it so once you uninstall it you cant reinstall again. i know its dumb and theres no fix for it. stupid ubisoft.
    im borrowing COD5 from a friend tomorrow, hopefully, but i need more suggestions.

    anyhow, im looking for a shooter. no scary stuff like dead space or FEAR. i was looking at STALKER, but then i saw how there were monsters so no. it also needs a good single player because my internet connection isnt so great.
    anyone have any suggestions?

    If you have a decent rig I would recommend Crysis - the world looks amazing and I have had some utterly heart-pounding moments in that game (being chased for almost a kilometre by a helicopter with no way to destroy it, running from one piece of cover to the next, with trees being cut down by the machine gun as I go). The AI isn't stellar, but it is better than quite a few other shooters I could care to name. You can also pick it up quite cheap because it is a number of years old now. Most of my other favourite have some element of horror in them (FEAR, Bioshock, L4D2) so I'm afraid that's all I can recommend.

    What about old classics like Deus Ex or Max Payne?

    Its not actually scary. I can't handle scary anything. I played Doom 3, had to shut it off in fear after the monsters were released.

    L4D/2 doesnt have that popup horror, no scares, once you get used to the sounds, you can predict whats coming. Plus you play with up to 7 other people, so.

    Eliminating STALKER simply because it has monsters is a bad call IMHO. Shadow of Chenobyl has sporadic monsters that only appear (mostly) towards the end game. And that is what made the game scary, on first play through you were expecting monsters, but they never really came, and when they did it was at key moments. Most of the time you were fighting people, with guns.
