  • I’d like to recommend Insurgency Sandstorm for you, as it sits right in the middle of CoD-like shooters and tactical, milsim shooters… but I have myself soured out of it a while ago due to how it’s handled by the devs that remained. I did have a fun time with Arma 3, but that required a group to make operations with, and 300GB of disk space for mods. Other kinds of action shooter games that could work are slower paced, vehicle or mech based games, but right now I can’t think of a single one that is well maintained and populated.


  • Alright, I did go on a boomer shooter and arena shooter romp a while back and found quite a few gems, although most of these answers will probably sound obvious.
    -DOOM classic, of course. Also try with mods, like Brutal DOOM
    -DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal are also really good, modernized takes on the formula -Quake is still really good, the remake is really nice. -Unreal Tournament '99 and 2004 might be officially dead, but they still have players if you follow the player maintained master servers
    -Blood:Fresh Supply on GoG
    -Hexen/Heretic is a classic -Dusk
    -Amid Evil
    -ULTRAKILL, really, all of the New Blood shooter projects are really good
    -Prodeus is one that flies under the radar of most, but it has a kickass soundtrack and vibe, and a gameplay that is between DOOM and Quake. Probably my favorite of the new bunch.
