Let's have a thread about those obscure FPS from the 2000s decade.
Any of you have any gems you wanna bring up?
Here's my example.
It's pretty much an RPG with FPS elements - It also has a cool faction system.
Looks like a shittier STALKER.
>>315789105
>I form opinions from one single screenshot
at least it's playable without mods
This super hyped game that no one actually remembers anymore.
operation flashpoint cold war crisis is objectively the best 2000 era FPS ever produced.
Still my favourite multiplayer game till today.
Shame its practically dead.
>>315789357
Black was good, but the enemies were bullet sponges. Also, unskippable cutscenes really killed the replay value
>>315789357
It was okay.
Does Project Reality count?
Serious Sam would count as that type of FPS, but one that became successful enough to continue with higher-budget remakes and sequels.
>>315790451
Well it's been going for what now, 10 years?
>>315789387
>12 o'clock, muh nigga, 100
>>315789906
My fuckin nigga. Holy shit what I'd give for a sequel. Was hoping Delta Force: Angel Falls or whatever would have released but it seems Novalogic is all but practically gone.
>>315789906
Came out like a month before BF2.
Dem 200 player servers though. Probably better than BF2.
>>315789906
Weren't Easter European devs always churning out these type of FPS all the time? The kind where you're a commando dropped in a big open-ended level and you complete objectives in multiple ways?
>>315790798
It had this kind of play mode, yes, but the flagship gamemode was like battlefield(capture point) with a bunch of vehicles(you could put cars in transportation helicotpers and put tanks on transportation ships) and 200+ players on one map.
Prey was pretty good. Too bad its getting butchered now by bethesda
Söldner: Secret Wars. It's a little like Arma with all its combined arms and shit ton of weapons. I bought its Marine Corp expansion at a store like 10 years ago, but it doesn't have its original name on the cover anywhere so I was pretty confused when I first booted the game up.
This is an example of a small starting FPS before its ascension.
>>315789105
It's actually better than STALKER
Project I.G.I and its sequel count, right?
>>315792239
>everything after you start fighting mutants
This shit is/was so good
>>315788884
It was pretty damn fun and ahead of its time back in 2005, even though I played it at release with an incredible amount of bugs. It's basically a good version of Far Cry 2
>>315790798
Yeah, they didn't constrict themselves with cinematic mentality and pasionately tried to push games forward
game was great, ran shit on my toaster back then though
![The_Outfit_Coverart[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/lMiy97n.png "The_Outfit_Coverart[1].png")
>>315795656
do people still play that?
and does anyone remember this shit? third person with RTS elements, not perfect, probably not even good, but pretty unique, I'd have loved a bigger sequel.
>>315797003
Not likely, considering it uses GFWL
>>315789227
>Xenus
>Playable
Not FarCry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gat_Z2Lc1EY
>>315798110
Clearly you haven't played it.
I've played it and I've never experienced any crashes or game-breaking bugs.
>>315788884
White Gold the sequel to Boiling Point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1HsiLYowlE
The English release for the game is kinda busted.
>>315798386
>That cover
It has budget game written all over it.
>>315795656
I love it too, it was a pretty good Counter-Strike clone. I hate that the developers shit on it.
>>315798780
That game looks like it has more variety and gameplay mechanics than Far Cry 3 or 4.
How does some no-name Ukrainian devs end up making games that are superior to Triple-A games in all things but polish?
>>315788884
>>315789227
Is it possible to be seen by enemies if you're hiding in bushes/foliage?

This is a truly shitty one. I bought it in one of those one dollar sale boxes, probably still too much.but I played it through
https://youtu.be/gKmTh1Vehys
Vietcong was rough and had some shit missions in caves, but also had great atmosphere and some good missions in the last half of the game.
>>315796783
I was really disappointed by that one, SoF 1 was really good and 2 was mediocre
>>315801380
The game also had a "escape the prison" moment, its probably the only part of the game that is not totally shit.

>got to play this recently
>wasn't what I was expecting
I knew something this up when I couldn't choose archetypesStill fun, though
>>315798386
>City Interactve
The guys who make the sniper games make that? gotta start somewhere i guess
>>315801380
Most Lithtech engine games not developed by Monolith are utter shit. With the exception of KISS Psycho Circus
>>315789906
The other chan still plays ;^]
>>315788884
Xenus 2 is better in every way though. Also known as White Gold: War in Paradise.
>no mention of black hawk down
disgusting
>>315798386
City interactive has got to be the laziest publisher in the world. They do nothing but pump out shit low budget game after shit low budget game hoping to catch out dumb fucks who want a cheap alternative to whatever game in particular the title is directly competing with.
Their biggest games were Sniper: Ghost Warrior 1 and 2. Both are shit, 2 is slightly more on par with shitty AAA shooters but not by much. It astounds me how they are still in business.
>>315803263
They've been doing it for years too. Their sniper series launched not long after the original sniper elite, they even have very similar boxarts to catch out dumb kids.
City Interactive is pure evil.
>>315788884
Tactical FPS, invented the squad gameplay used in Mass Effect.
>>315803263
yeah those polacks sure are trash masters with their myriad of shooters about terrorists and marines.
>>315803263
Funny you bring up Sniper Ghost Warrior - Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is being developed and you can see that it's their biggest game in terms of ambition and budget.
Although, when you watch the gameplay video of it, you can see it that it's a Far Cry clone.
>>315803508
BIA is absolutely fantastic
>>315802979
>shitty unchangeable FoV
>more than half of the map is water
>bad gunplay
>abandoned after the first patch
>better
>>315803263
>city interactive
>Battlefront: Frontlines
It still has an active playerbase.
It has a unique multiplayer.
It has a remake.
It hasdank memes.
>>315788884
I fucking loved Boiling Point even though it was buggy as fuck
>>315803603
every time i try to play the second one i have to uninstall it. like the bugs are just so ridiculously gamebreaking and it's too easy, otherwise it'd be a lot of fun.
>>315803508
They really need to make another set in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge.
>>315803263
Sniper 1 sold a few million copies FYI senpai.I actualy liked it too
>>315791428
Oh shiet I remember that game.
I was so hyped for it, but it turned out to be a buggy pile of shit.
Kinda funny how it is free 2 play nowadays, but nobody wants to play it now even with tons and tons of fixed bugs.
>>315803508
Hell's Highway is actually pretty great, I'm surprised it's remembered less than the original
>>315803508
Did the 3rd Brothers In Arms game flop or something? It was supposed to be a blockbuster, but the series died with it...
>>315802861
Kraut? infinitychan?
Whatever. If there are not atleast 150 something players on the map its boring and empty.
>>315797003
Loved that shit! Bunny camo was best camo
Had a lot of fun with the multiplayer, back in the day.
>>315804063
>Sniper 1 sold a few million copies FYI
For no good fucking reason, it's like the game came out, had box art that doesn't look like COMPLETE ASS, so people got tricked into thinking it was worth their time and money.
Be honest with yourself, the game wasn't very good at all really was it?
>>315804192
They intended to make this but it got canned. It honestly seemed like a good idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furious_4
>>315790152
>unskippable cutscenes
Damn, I was about to download and replay it.
>>315804192
The 3rd Brothers In Arms game was an iphone/android game....
Got good reviews though for what ever that's worth
>>315804478
Would we ever get a remake of this game or another using this setting? Also, why were US marines in Somalia?
>>315804583
>it got turned into a MOBA shooter
>>315804754
no there was Road to Hill 30, Earned in Blood and Hell's Highway.
>>315803508
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8v1CY8cRQ0
Play it with this mod and you won't go back.
>>315794282
Why did Crytek ruin game with those fuckers?
>>315804921
Hell's highway was good but that was 8 years ago. Gearbox switched into Border Lands mode just after Hell's Highway came out.
>>315799731
Christ it looks like it even has the same animations for some things how bizarre.
>>315804552
It sucked when it forced you to play guns blazing. The sneaky snipering missions, however, were prettyfun, reminded me of older tacticool shooters. DLC missions were particularly good
>>315805078
why did they do it again with the aliens in crysis?
>>315790451
PR is starting to show its age a bit. Still love it to death.
Remember when the graphics and destruction in this game blew our minds
>>315794282
>>315792239
>those fucking monsters
nightmare fuel, i was not expecting those motherfuckers
>>315794282
>>315805078
You just need to git gud
Without mutant levels the game would become too stale and boring
Come on let's go Bond!
>>315799731
>>315805178
that game is such a piece of crap, it was made by the trash masters who also made "the stalin subway" and "dusk 12". bad shooters on the worst engine ever.
>>315805328
Black still has the best gun sounds. They made simply firing a gun a pleasure.
>>315804771
Operation restore hope, A MEU was operating off the coast of Somalia providing support to humanitarian operations. The events of Black Hawk Down happened after the MEU left.
Kinda recent, but I think people forgot about this 2 hours or so movie tie in game.
>>315805028
>>315805328
Never played it but still can remember the adds on tv with the classical european interior getting shot and exploded.
>adds used to be not total shit
Was this shit any good?
obligatory TPS mentionings:
Freedom Fighters
The Punisher
Hey guys.
What if we take the assets of that AAA game we just made and shit out another game?
https://wkduffy.wordpress.com/category/day-of-the-zombie-pc-2009-canada/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5raV-tnMF1U
>>315806017
Decent writing and artistic design, shitty everything else. The devs said it was basically released in alpha state
I'd describe the AK in this game as sounding "meaty"
I remember this being kinda meh
>>315797003
I had so much fun with that shit.
>>315803508
BIA3 was dope as fuck in the first couple of levels with the vivid greens. Mission 3 and onwards is generic COD shit.
>>315806017
I tried playing it but dropped it after seeing the most pathetic, low-budget CoD ripoff ever. I dunno if it gets good when aliens appear, but the game feels unfinished and like it was made by some polack trash masters.
>>315803263
they also made Enemy Front
>>315806017
Not at all. It's like Soldier Of Fortune: Payback with more bugs, shitty compatibility and no gore.
it was okay
>>315806062
also Saboteur
>>315806251
>>315806362
>>315806446
Shame, the old gen one was pretty good though I don't even know if this was supposed to be a reboot or whatever
>>315806429
Enemy Front is a AAA game compared to what City Interactive have made in the past.
Not quite from the 2000's decade, but I think it fits the spirit of the thread. Bulletstorm was a really cool game.
>>315806429
How shit is it?
>>315806017
What about area 51? Is that any good?
Would this game count?
I really need to get around playing this
![53509_front[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/qaK24zC.jpg "53509_front[1].jpg")
I remembering this having baller campgin
>>315789906
I loved this game and it's expansion packs. Co-op with my buddies was also incredible.
>>315806446
oh yeah, soldier of fortune... the 2nd had seriously the best gore ever. also some levels were quite fun, but others, like the jungle, were really terrible. overall 6.5/10, best dismemberment simulator ever.
I remember playing the demo for this game
This game was THE shit.
>>315807087
Shit was great. Fucking Mulder and Mr. Suck My Own Dick(forgot his name) as voice actors.
The arcade was pretty cool too.
>>315806732
It has nothing to do with the other game called "Area 51"
Different game entirely. That confusion is actually how I ended up grabbing the game as a dumb teen. Thought it had something to do with Area 51 or was perhaps the same game. A friend recommended area 51 so I started looking for it and picked up Blacksite. Blacksite is sitting on my shelf of games right now as a reminder that I should be a bit more fucking careful about what I spend my money on.
Its pretty shitty, not trashmaster shit, but AAA title shit.
>>315789906
>Novalogic
Now that's being stuck in the past.

>>315792239

Gets my vote for the best named FPS of all time

How fucking cool is that name
>>315807230

>tfw we will never see state of the art next-gen realistic gore physics in a shooter ever
why do game developers have to be such a bunch of faggot pussyholes these days
>>315806350
Black Friday mission stands out, rainy streets and there's a part where you have to co ordinate an attack on 2 artillery guns guarded by a few MG Nests in a church courtyard. That shit fuckin' rocked.
>>315804478
hahaha fucking a i remember that game. the little birds and humvees were on rails
>>315807643
Killing floor 2 and left 4 dead 2 are pretty damn fucking good at it, but yeah it's nowhere near the level of brutal realism SoF was going for.
>>315803263
They're also the same cancer that shit out Lords of the Fallen, which was endlessly marketed here for 8 months AFTER the game was already out because it was trash and only sold like 100,000 copies and they were desperate.
>>315807621
>That complete and totall ripoff of the CoD 1 cover
Shameful.5
Oh fuck yeah, it's good.
>>315807708
I replayed it bunch of times because i have a hard on for ww2 shooters, but stil, it was very very meh. DIdnt like the cover system one bit. Mechanically still better than first two, even though I prefer older games.
Any love for MOH series here? Pacific Assault is underrated.
>>315788884
can anyone tell me the name of that one game that was basically this but in a sandbox scifi world? it too was made by slavs
>>315807621
Have you played Battlestrike: Cloudy Sky or Signal of Volgograd?
>>315792239
I was enjoying this game until those fucking mutants were introduced. Literally ruined the game.
Firearms mod count? I used to play the shit out of that game.
If someone say a newly released game is shit, tell them to play City Interactive games and then come back.
Their opinion is not valid without it.
arcade shooter from the creators of STALKER
>>315806062
mercenaries was more sandbox than tps, but it still probably deserves an honorable mention in the thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmQ6jDJS_b8
This game. You had an inventory like in Deus Ex, and could change your gear to anything you scavenged. Multiple armor types and you'd pick your camo before the mission. Your rifle could also change fire modes depending on what modules you had, everything from assault to sniper, shotgun, laser and rocket launcher.
>>315808171
Precursors. It was made by the same developers actually.
>>315807708

Only released in CIS and France.

>>315803912
my nigga, just wish the players would make the shift to Renegade X already.
>>315808654
was it any good? IS it into english and how well does it run on....weaker hardware? I get 30 fps in new vegas at max settings.
>>315808654
I don't think I ever played this, or ever even heard of it, but that gun is super familiar.
Never played multiplayer but the technology in this mod was waaay fucking ahead of its time

>>315801563
I used to play Vietcong all the time. That tutorial mission was excellent.
Not surprised nobody has brought this one up yet. I imagine most people actively tried to forget about it.
>>315807552
underrated implies underrated on /v/, not in general
>>315809871
It's Krautish. It says manual.
>>315798417
Not that anon, but I've played it and I remember it being buggier than STALKER, then again it was much more massive than STALKER.
>>315803912
does it? how do i connect? shit i still got a key for this somewhere. played the fuck out of it for a long time.
Where can I get Soldier of Fortune 1&2? Does GOG have it?
Who among you played the Far Cry spinoffs for consoles?
I beat this piece of shit and loved it.
>posting form ate my file
>>315810121
I played Far Cry Instincts on the Wii and I actually liked it because of motion controlls.
>>315788884
Not 2000 but still pretty obscure
>>315808654
>>315810143
This game always crashes to desktop everytime I travel to the first planet off the starting area.
Is there any patches for this game?
>>315810643
Good lord. I can accept games from the 00's looking a bit dated but that takes the fucking piss.
>>315808973
I managed to find a copy in a French supermarket for 5€.
It has some of the worst optimization I've ever witnessed in a videogame. Plus, I wasn't able to play for more than 5 minutes without it crashing.
Truly a gem, which copy I will treasure and place alongside my copy of Mystery of the Druids.
A game where all enemies are mutated women.
>>315808654
was about to post this
i remember /v/ had a week where there was always a thread about this game up. pretty neat
>>315790798
Like what? I've been looking into games like that and they're linear as fuck.

I remember liking this as much as UT at the time.
>>315810143

I was waiting for this and white gold which at the time were the only few open world FPS games I've been looking forwards to. Never came to the stores and I completely forgot about them.
Wish I could play it online again. Driving and balance were great.

The objective/progession is linear, but the approach is not.
>>315810915

>>315811709
I couldn't finish that game. I remember using the bulldog assault rifle with some upgrades. The vehicles were a bit clunky.
Tell me /v/, what magic does it take to make crysis 1 run on a 64bit system? I summoned some dark god last time but now when trying to play it he does not answer my call.
Not a very good video game.
>>315811524
Nah m8, you don't understand. It's the kind of game that is so utterly crappy and broken you just HAVE to have a copy.
Like owning a DVD of The Room.

The actual game was decent and it had great tracks too.

wait a minute, redneck rampage had a sequel?
First Call of Juarez was seriously one of the best action-adventure games ever. Not just a simple western shooter like all the other games in the series.
Anybody ever play this? From what I can tell it's some slav FPS/RPG hybrid that I have seen mentioned here on a few occasions. Reviews say it's mediocre, but on the other hand I really like shootans.
>>315812928
I did enjoy the platforming and mountain climbing, legit good game.
>>315812882
I don't think they are related.

>>315806017
It was the first game I got for the 360
it reminded me a lot fo cod and gears of war but without the cover system.
It wasn't very good. Beating the game on a harder difficulty doesn't unlock the achievements for the easier ones so fuck that
>>315803508

Every time I see Hell's Highway I remember the time when *that kid* sold my copy of MGS2 Substance to buy it

>>315813051
it's like far cry 3 but unpolished and with more varied environments of different planets.
>>315813496
>it's like far cry 3 but unpolished
So basically it's Far Cry 3.
>>315795656
Wait, is this a buyers remorse thread? Im confused.
>>315812584
I have that game on the PS2, but I haven't played it yet.
>>315810643

I need to see how bad this is in action.
Not a first person shooter, but sort of unknown anyway.

I was rank like 5 or 6 worldwide on Deathmatch when the servers were shut down.

What "mindset"? What once looked good can look bad because standards change.
Why is that a problem?

Isn't NOLF2 completely broken though?
