That's off-topic. Please don't troll.

I haven't found a single FPS I liked then or now. The closest game I can stomach is Mount and Blade Warband and that isn't a shooter though it plays like one.
Are there any of them where "friendly fire" doesn't hurt you? That's a big reason I don't play them. especially online. Little kids think it's funny to go around shooting their own teammates. Maybe older people also with kids minds.
Lots of fun. I recommend you Chrome and Chrome: SpecForce. Games have grass and crawling on it keeps you hidden from the bad guys. Game maps are wide, open areas, but there are times when player has only 1 way to go to. Occasionally other game characters fight alongside with the player. It's all good, and both games are available on Steam for 1,99 € (together).ORIGINAL: **budd**
Some of my favorites from days gone past are Halflife, F.E.A.R., Farcry, Call of Juarez, Serious Sam and of course all the really oldies i.e Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem, Heretic, Blood, Decent, probably a lot more i'm forgetting.
Agreed - that game was one of the funnest I have ever played. I had a small group of friends playing ET online years ago and we had a blast. Free too -!!!ORIGINAL: TulliusDetritus

I only have played one multiplayer game: Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. WW2. I can't tell you how much much I liked it. Charging like a crazy buffalo with the flamethrower. So many big big big laughs!
You think so? Video would have been better with Classic Doom 3.ORIGINAL: TulliusDetritus
The evolution of this genre is clear: from mazes to an "open", utter realistic world.

I've been an FPS'er since way back. Came from 3rd person adventure games, you know the quest series. Once i loaded up that wolfenstein shareware disk from what ever that magazine was i was hooked. Played every FPS i could get my hands on back then, it just seemed awesome. Played FPS before i even knew about computer wargames. Did a bit of multiplayer FPS back in the day with clans with Quake, TFC and DOD, wasn't easy on dialup. Don't do much of the multiplayer FPS these days for various reasons, the knuckleheadedness of online players is one and the time commitment is another. You have to spend a bit of time with a game to get up to snuff. It can be a rewarding game experience with a bunch of like minded players. I have a new computer so i can catch up on some FPS goodness i missed, there's quite a few in my steam backlog i've been waiting to play, Rage, stalker series, newer Farcry's. I put the open world FPS's in a different category, there just a different mood for me. Nothing like a well done FPS on rails with a good environment and a bit of tactical choice in your approach, plus they actually end. I'm not talking DOOM 3 on rails type, i still haven't finished that one. Some of my favorites from days gone past are Halflife, F.E.A.R., Farcry, Call of Juarez, Serious Sam and of course all the really oldies i.e Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem, Heretic, Blood, Decent, probably a lot more i'm forgetting. One thing that didn't bother me back then but drives me to rage quit some FPS now is the old lock you in a room with a bunch of bad guys/things and you ain't getting out until everything is dead, O did i forget to mention you'll be low health and not have much ammo. the control the difficulty through keeping you low on health and without ammo is something i'm not a big fan of these days, not too mention a checkpoint system.I'll usually have one FPS going as a change of pace to my wargaming, currently playing Extraction point a DLC to the original F.E.A.R. Nothing closet about my enjoyment of FPS games, I'll play whatever is fun for me.

So what open & realistic world FPS games were made last year?

If you were a sniper you could steal the uniform from a dead enemy and be disguised! Usually just long enough to lob a grenade at the spawn pack ![:D][:D]

Fallout New Vegas isn't a FPS? What would you call it then?
Do you know about Call of Duty series? It is just like that. Player is pretty much stuck on the trench without way out of it. Video I linked to is parody based on CoD series. Newest CoD game from last year is CoD: Black Ops 3.ORIGINAL: TulliusDetritus
Now that you mention Doom 3, I was very disappointed with the game (my best mate too, another FPSer). We did not finish it. IIRC in Doom 2 you could go wherever you wanted. In Doom 3 you were literally on tracks. This I never liked.
Here are few YouTube search placed on top. Black Ops 3 isn't there for some reason...I don't know what FPS were made last year though.
What are your favourite ones? Do you count Castle Wolfenstein among such games? I don't.By "open and realistic" I mean no underground labyrinths but usually the country (or apocalyptic cities), realistically designed: the sounds, the atmosphere, the sun, shadows and wind. The Stalker series that is (there are some underground labyrinths, yes).
All the modern FPS I am seeing on youtube basically follow this rule.

I'm not a single player fps fan, so all I can add is about multiplayer game:
I love the recent tactical shooter Rainbow Six. After the games like CoD it's awesome to take a caution step by step trying not to get into enemy trap. My point is, that shooters are interesting for me when there is something more that tipping the trigger and yelling like Rambo. I like R6 because you have to use your mind and creativity to find the weak stop of the derences and to breach through it.
