Kill em shoot em game?

I am looking to vent some anger and was wondering, what software game offers the best graphics & realism that deals with combat? You know running through the towns, jungles, etc while looking to shoot the enemy  ::)

Dave, I've grown fond of Half Life: Counterstrike (an anti-terrorism shooter)....Half Life 2 is newer, and apparently has much better graphics, but I believe it's still part of the Half Life family in that it's more X-Files than realism.


My vote goes to Counterstrike.

Thanks Scott. So is it a fictional world where you fight creatures?

Dave

Even though I've got Half Life, I think I've played it for a total of 3 minutes.  lol   That one is funky creatures.  Not my style.

Then Counterstrike is a mod to Half Life that got published.  It's human vs. human (online) terrorist vs. anti-terrorist.  Very cool game.

There are a bunch of other mods to it too, some of which I've got.  There's actually a bundle out there with like 5 or 6 games in it...not sure what that's running these days, probably not much since HL2 is now out.

Best graphics and realism...

Stuff that is currently available:
- Farcry (you know the deal)
- Splinter cell (UT2004 engine)

Stuff that will be released soon:
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (Website, made in russia  ;D)

Battlefield 2

Its not out just yet, but, will be just what you want.  

I have to be sad and admit some of the Star Wars games are rather fun, nothing better than chopping someone to bits with a lightsaber after a bad day

I would have to say Iron Storm sort of Sci-Fi/WWII
And you can get it for less than $10 at WalMart.
Awesome graphics and game play rather awesome for a cut out bin game!

Dave...!
...what has suddenly generated all this desire for extreme aggression in you....?
Not a bit like the cool, easy-going, laid-back, nice-cup-of-tea, affectionate chap we had all got used to in the past... ...!
We've now got a frenetic, hyper-active, bundle of highly strung, mad-cap, blast anything that moves.....Moderator... ... ... ...!

What hope is there now for all of us simple simmers out here... ...?

Tee-Hee...!

Paul.

I would recommend "Bass Fishing for Beginners"... ... ...!

Hidden And Dangerous 2. It's got everything you asked for. Except that sometimes merely running will get you killed rather quickly.

Boiling Point - Road To Hell is also quite nice. A mix between role-playing and FPS in which you can do whatever you like.

I joined the local Guerilla to fight for the communist revolution.

Thanks Paul, that was funny!

I don't know. I guess I am just looking to immerse myself in some fictional world were I can blow things up and shoot a few bad guys. Being polite all the time has it's dis-advantages!  ;)

My friend gave me a copy of Soldier of Fortune: Double Helix Gold. VERY fun game. Gore-ey. You can actually hack off limbs and such. Dave, if you're interested, let me know and I'll send it to ya. Wal Mart or EB has it for around 30 bucks.

SOF2 has a grey-zone existance in my mind. I can't actually remember whether I've played it through or not. Argh!

HAS to be Red Faction 2 on Playstation 2. The ruler of all FPS games.  8)

Otherwise, the king of  third-person shoot 'em up games is Metal Gear Solid 3. NO DOUBT!  8)
