Need FPS online game recommendations.

I'm looking for a more combat sim experience. TF2 is just too cartoony. I don't want WWII either. Modern combat, ability to actually hide in bushes and stuff, and a solid game with a big online community like TF2.

CoD4
CoD: WaW
Counterstrike

that'd be one of the upcoming games from dice/ea, BF:BC2 or BF3. there are no recent games on the market that fulfills all those requirements.

borderlands will be coming out next week. 360/ps3 versions are officially out tomorrow, so you could try it on those systems to get a feel for it.

So Battlefield 2 doesn't qualify? The whole series is on Steam now for $30.

Nope. There's no hiding in bushes in this game. It's a huge battlefield of death.

Arma II
Light on the community side, heavy on the modern combat side. Depending on the map, you have a 250 square KM map filled with things that can and will kill you before you even see them. PvP.... god help you.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
A bas.... err I mean consoliszed version of Arma II that will likely have a large community. I hate it myself but you might prefer it.

re: BF2

well even if you're in the bushes, the UAV will pick you out.

every single time i die in that game i notice the enemy UAV circling over me.

i would say BF2, but the game will frustrate the new players that are used to bullets hitting and killing enemies. in BF2 you can pump a mag into someone's backside but he can turn around and kill you in a single burst. and don't get me started on how useless ground vehicles are on maps that have aircraft.

Oh, and all other suggestions are divorced of the term "sim".

World War 2 online? It's always been criticized for having piss-poor graphics, but it's the most realistic war simulator I've ever seen. There's a new patch coming out with a significant graphics update, rag doll physics, more foliage etc...

I'm thinking about re-subscribing.

It's a suggestion. If he wants a legit war sim, ww2ol is a great game for the right type. If he wants to compromise, cool. If not, who cares...

Join the army, they said.
See the world, they said.
I'd rather be sailing...

I'm loving Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Crysis/Crysis Warhead.

Not much of an online community, though. (Maybe Warhead.)

Great realistic game for hiding in bushes.
