null vote. Postal 2.
Apart from the incompatible silliness of the terms "realistic" and "first-person shooter game", I'm going to further point-out that you're asking this question on a community derived from Battlefield 2. Project Reality is probably going to win by a demographic-bias.

Insurgency Mod as a realistic game is a joke, fun, but a joke.
Like i'd be hovering out of harms way in a LB, doing circuits, when the com would chat to me asking to pick up a team from a rooftop, they'd pop their smoke, i'd land, pick up, drop em at base where medics would patch them up. then i'd fly them back in and go back to holding.

Has to be Red Orchestra for me. PR, well.....no, not at all. And the thing is, with PR, they realised they couldn't make a realistic game using the BF2 engine so instead they just focused on doing lots of other stuff. When you look at the mod, the "realism" aspect is indeed a very small part of the mod. I'd say these days, you could call PR a BF2 mod which just expands BF2, rather than am actual BF2 realism mod.
They care more about adding new content/maps and getting the British Army into the game, as they had to pretty much give up on actually trying to make BF2 a better/more realistic game as they were so limited, what they managed to pull off with what they had, was good, though
RO feels realistic although it can at times feel......clunky
Then again what do I know about the realism of war
something that you don't see much in games.

They look at the fruit. When it comes to that incredibly shallow comparison on looks, yeah wax fruit does okay. To actually judge it against the real thing...absolutely meaningless.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

When Operation Flashpoint 2 comes out i will vote for that
First of all, where is OFP? Secondly, what do you mean by best? Best in terms of simulating realism, or best in terms of being most fun or best playable despite/due to realism?
this poll is crap.
this poll is crap.
Voted PR.
But I find Rainbow Six Vegas more fun. Not necessarily as realistic, but awesome command system.

Rainbow Six should have stuck with the formula they had for games 1-3 tbh. So much more awesome. At least for the PC anyway.some_random_panda wrote:

Out of all those games I would have to say SWAT 4. With SWAT 4 you have to be really tactical and cant just go in guns blazing like all those games mentioned. You need to plan your route, which weapons will work and not work for the job. Weather to use lethal or non-lethal force.
SWAT 4 is a great game.

Ravenshield was probably my most played online game ever.Flecco wrote:

The amount of multiplayer user created maps was infinite and plus all the mods.
I remember there was this guy who made maps after the show Stargate, it was so much fun going through the stargate.
Love the game.

That. Shit. Doesn't. Work. Unless you are approaching from behind or on an extreme flank they aren't covering you are dead. Even then, unless you have a semi-auto or smg, which generally you don't, you're fucked if there's more than two or three dudes in a position.

It's difficult, what determines realistic?
No matter what you do, the AI will always be inbalanced because of the fact no matter what you do, they will know where you are at every given time, which deducts the amount of tactical play a little. Sure they have done a good job on making the AI more "real" but it won't reach realistic until you start implmenting gameplay consisting of Person v Person envrionments where the engagements are handled by real people with restricted knowledge and impractibility of gameplay at any given time.
When you have Person v Person, especially in Simulators, then you create a realistic envrionment where tactical gameplay will allow a victor to dominate, where as with most simulators, it's entirely up to how thew AI is balanced (with games that focus on Player v Envrionment (AI)), sometimes they are too easy and sometimes it's just pathetically hard.
Ghost Recon was pretty realistic as well as ArmA, Operation Flashpoint and Americas Army, but they all have their unrealistic points too. Multiplayer Simulators are close to realistic, except when twats just ruin the game. I found that even games like AA went from realistic-like to arcade like once people found and exploited it, just like most games in this poll.
Cover systems still need to be implmented into games, instead of just crouching behind a wall, I want a system that gives proper use of cover. But the more realistic you get, the more controls you need, the less controls, the more arcade like as they consolidate gameplay and merge things (like movement) together.
Bring on Virtual Reality.

After RB Vegas I want to try Swat 4. More efficiency needed.trex1210 wrote:

SWAT 4 is a great game.
I never played Raven Shield or the ones before it, so I can't really say what the gameplay is 'meant' to be like. I enjoyed it all the same, and that's all that really matters to me.

see post #9
I also agree, OPF is more realistic in terms of tactics etc, not necesarially graphics. when DR comes out that will change.

Where the fuck is Operation Flashpoint and why the fuck is Americasarmy in the list?
Americasarmy fails at realism and fun. The only thing realistic in that game is the weapon damage and the reliability of your broken weapon.
I have heard ArmA and RO are pretty realistic, but never played them. I did however play Op Flash's demo. It was amazingly realistic and boring, lol.
The only "realistic" things I have played must be Project Reality. I'm addicted to it. Because it feels real. People want to teamwork.
