For something tatical like a stealth game or a game like the Rainbow Six Vegas series but as a action based FPS it sounds like a terrible idea and your mother would be ashamed of you having those thoughts
The most realistic shooter ever.

You just described the Operation Flashpoint/ArmA series of games. Brutally realistic and more unforgiving than the girl of which you stuck your weewee up the poopoo without asking first.
ArmA II with the ACE realism mods is as close as you can get to a complete tactical simulator with all the nasties a modern battlefield can present. Forget running up to a tank and filling its exhaust with explosive bananas like some other Battlefield moron since the tank will kill you, your teammates, your backup, your backup's girlfirend and her dog as soon as they have you in sight because that's what tanks do to squishy little grunts like you.
Even your own tanks are a bloody nuisance to be near because when they fire their main 120 mm gun, the appropriate thing happens to you as it should when an unprotected human being is subjected to a 150 dB pulse of sound: you get tossed into the nearest wall and go deaf.
ArmA II is annoyingly difficult, yes... you have to think and not act like a bulletproof tosser because you cannot even get out of base that way without losing ten quarts of blood.
Guess once why I think ArmA II has one of the best multiplayer crowds in the world...

Here ya go.
The only game other than this that makes me actually fear the sounds of gunfire is SWAT4.

C'mon guys we all know the most realistic shooter is TF2. Let's not kid ourselves here.
OT: In all honesty I don't think I have ever played a realistic shooter, and I don't think I want to.

That is what pisses me off in games now days, and the reason why I hated the multiplayer side of Halo. Shoot a gun with a rocket, empty a clip in to him, do whatever, then he hides behind a rock and is back to full health. Even normal CoD4 was too much. I would never play any non-hardcore matches in either CoD4 or CoD5. I don't want it to the extent of what the OP was saying, but I don't want to have to fire off 2,000 rounds from a minigun, fire a cruise missile, and call an ion cannon strike just to kill the guy in front of me.Onyx Oblivion said:
Again, the game you're describing is Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45
That game is the most realistic shooter I've encountered, it has carefully calculated bullet trajectories and if you really want to fire accurately you need to have something to lean your rifle against.

Blasphemer!! Do not mention the name of the unholy pretender!!OceanRunner said:
Dragon Rising is the result of the actual programmers of the treasure of gold that was the original Operation Flashpoint, and the mere owners of the name, having a falling out resulting in both of them taking their toys and stomping off to their separate rooms to have a sulk and say "Bah, who needs those guys anyway!"
Out of that came two (lines of) games:
- Armed Assault from Bohemia Interactive, the dudes that have been making the actual game for the past 10 years....
- Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising from Codemasters, who knew a great game when they saw it but couldn't replicate it...
Don't get me wrong... Dragon Rising is immensely pretty with very beautiful graphics. But CM missed the whole damned point of the Operation Flashpoint appeal by making a sandbox game in which you must follow a strict path or the game hates you for it.

If it is the most realistic game ever then it should also be like when you die the disc gets destroyed and your console/pc remembers the game so that you can never play it again. Maybe it wouldn't sell but that would be realistic. Also the shooting shouldn't be easy, just like real life, the bullets don't fly straight due to gravity/wind/shaky hands etc.
well that sure sounds irritating. Honestly I even think MW2 has too much realism, and I prefer BC2 where it takes a couple more hits to kill you, and it also takes a little longer to heal.
Then again realistic shooters have really never been my thing. I figured it'd only take one bullet to the foot to knock me out of the fight, why would I want that in videogames?

1) You can do that to enemies and it's friggin' hillarious to take them out by shooting them in the foot and have them crawling helplessly in the mud, begging for mercy for a while before you finish them off.
2) It requires you to think... you can't win by just being a jackrabbit on amphetamines, steroids and Red Bull.
3) It's incredibly immersive. Suddenly the details matter...

Basically this. It'd be amazing in stealth games, and I think there's plenty of room to vary up the formula.gonzo20 said:
Other than that, there's probably just room for maybe one super-realistic war shooter like MW2. Any more and people would get frustrated/ask for the ability to go Gordon Freeman on enemy's asses.
