As someone who is coming from console, I'm used to your stereotypical FPS games, such as CoD, BF, and Halo.
On PC, I know of Counter Strike, TF2, Half Life, and Battlefield. What are some other FPS games that someone could recommend me? I'm pretty sure I'm missing out on some more underrated games that have a somewhat active community. :)
Tribes: Ascend - free to play, NOT pay to win (although you can buy things). It is a high speed, 3D (you have a jetpack) FPS. I have been playing Tribes since 1999 and pretty hardcore into the series. Its avail on Steam.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - FPS (first person slasher). Epic sword combat, chop peoples heads/arms/legs/everything off, hilarious game modes and objectives include "Burn and Pillage the enemy town" and "Kill all the peasants"
DayZ- Arma 2/3 mod, or standalone. Zombie survival, very unforgiving combat. I think the Arma 2 mod is still the best. (probably cheapest too)
Payday 2 is one but you need to play it with your friends. Other than that you got me beat.
Thanks anyway though! I happened to buy that last weekend, since it was on sale.
Tribes: Ascend looks like something I would thoroughly enjoy as well as DayZ. Thanks for the suggestions, kind sir.
The Tribes community is fairly small now but I can always find a server with 20+ people. Its gotta bit of a learning curve to it but tons of fun, hit me up if you see me online - username: BadDopey
How about single player? Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior (2013 version). Amazing shooters.
All the bohemia games ( arma 2 / 3 , dayz , etc )
Warframe
CS:GO ( really fun if you're good / have friends )
Payday 2 : the heist
Insurgency
The metro's
etc , there is a huge list , these are the ones I like off the top of my head .
But do you like multiplayer madness , tactical , solo , sci-fi , etc ?
my favs:
Planetside 2 (free to play combined arms, you can go on diffferent tipes of infantry, tanks, air vehicles... persistent map and sometimes 200+ people battles)
Chivalry (First Person Slasher, pretty fun)
Heroes and generals (on beta WWII, ambiented F2P)
I second Heros and Generals that is my new favorite game! I saw Dayz meantioned DayZ SA is probably the worst FPS game if your looking for action there is a ton of looting and travel time 90% looking for gear and walking 10% firefight.
Thanks for the list. I'm mostly into multiplayer or sci-fi. (Both if the game has it, if not, I'm into single player too, I'm not picky.)
