I'm one of those guys who doesn't follow the idea of sci-fi everything. One minute your on a remote planet in the universe, the next your fighting aliens in zero gravity.
I'm the OFP (Operation Flashpoint), ArmA (Armed Assault), kinda guy. Those games follow the line of "realistic FPS". But no one else really does. Most of America's Army's battlefields are ether too small or entrenched with hackers. The only thing I've seen aside from OFP2, was ArmA2 and ArmA2 will suck more yang than the first. Are these the only two games that are considered realistic FPS's? By realistic I mean: You get shot in the leg, once, you cannot walk. You cannot strafe left and right at will. You cannot bunny hop. You cannot pick up a 'health pack' or 'regenerate health' after 10 seconds.
With all the kidees today and their addiction to this unrealistic 'hitpoint' bs has really got me fearing the future of games being nothing more than aliens, goons, counterstrikes, unreals, and other senseless BS that cannot be any more unrealistic. But I do suppose, as the PC gaming market isn't near the same sales points as consoles, and the younger generation are the ones with most of the consoles, means only unrealistic sci-fi bogus. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good story and some good sci-fi MP fun, Crysis for example. But most of the time, I'm ready to look at a map, plan an attack, order my men into position, and execute the operation. But it seems no one is interested in stuff like that are they?
