VGmaster9 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If you had a preferred setting for military shooters, what would it/they be? I'm mostly into the modern setting, but I've been getting into the futuristic setting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishaCat Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've only played WW2 and modern military shooters, and of them I prefer WW2. Although the idea of World War 1, Civil War, and Vietnam all interest me a lot. I prefer older settings more than newer ones. I like the guns more and how combat seems to be much slower in them.

Vae Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Can we have military shooters that take place in medieval fantasy times, with like wizards and knights and shit? That sounds like it would be pretty boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I went to the Gamestop next door, and some old guy was looking for a Civil War game that wasn't the history channel one. Â Apparently it was for himself, and the guy mentioned he was 80 years old. Â The only other "civil war" game for the 360 I can think of was Darkest of Days, and that wasn't exclusively a civil war game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, they were still improving it at the time that video came out so we will see how bad it really is once the final product comes out. I guess we notice different things though, such as those Americans all had 30 round STANAG mags for their M16 as if they were issued out like free skittles.

willow Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I lean more towards the modern and futuristic I guess. I feel like a lot of the WWII shooters play kind of the same and mostly cater to people who are obsessed with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call that a modern/urban setting. Like S4 League was and Gotham Imposters.

Dr. Doggo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Let me rant. I'm a huge WW2 nut but I think WW2 games are done badly, particularly the setting or "storyline". The most annoying is that it's nearly always about the burgers and fucking D-Day for the MILLIONTH time trying to replicate Saving Private Ryan. Take me to North Africa or Finland for once. Or let me see something from the german, italian, or japanese perspective. Lets get some Operation Barbarossa in there, lemme drive some british tanks facing off against Rommel in the desert, lets stop the reds from getting into funland. It doesn't help that the subgenre they choose is always a shitty corridoor shooter in a bad imitation of Medal of Honour or old Call of Duty. One of the first proper "tactical" shooters was called Hidden & Dangerous, and it was about the British SAS covert ops. It was in league with games like old Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, and it was really good and really different at the time. Another top-tier one was Red Orchestra: Ostfront '41-'44. Like Battlefield 1942 with an intense dose of psuedorealism. I miss it. The new Red Orchestra games took away a lot of excellent elements of the first game, and added in lots of horrible decisions. Really if you want a GOOD, interesting WW2 game, it always ends up being strategy. Though aesthetically I think I like the Cold War era shooters the most, even more so when it's a fictional conflict in the same period.
