Contract Wars vs Insurgency
Contract Wars
Contract Wars is a modern browser-based free-to-play MMOFPS with character-building RPG elements, set in a world of a not-too-distant future, where most military actions are carried out by private military companies. The game offers a respectable range of game modes and maps, though its gun variety can be rather limited and that includes weapon customizations, like adding laser sights or a silencer. Its graphics exceed the expectations of a browser-based free-to-play MMOFPS and can be said to be on par with some standalone MMOFPS games too!If you don’t like the hassle of installing an MMOFPS game but would still like to get that rush that shooting games can give, then Contract Wars is a perfect game for you!

Insurgency
Insurgency is, without a doubt, the best game to play if realism is a key criterion for you when choosing your first-person shooters. Unlike other tactical shooters, there is no cross-hairs to help you (just sights) or the bullet-soaking feature that so many games use. In fact, with a well-aimed shot, which in itself can be a pretty difficult feat at times, you can easily take down an opponent even if the fella has body armor. The realism doesn't even stop at the gameplay - the game even provides realistic gun sounds which will allow real-life gun aficionados to differentiate the different types of guns simply by listening to the fire. Your loadout can also be upgraded but each upgrade you make will have realistic effect on your weight, stamina and movement speed. So, you'll need to choose upgrades depending on which aspect you are willing to sacrifice.The game, however, is a fully multiplayer game. It features over 7 PvP multiplayer game modes as well as 5 unique co-op multiplayer modes. That said, if you fancy getting some practice before diving into some actual PvP, you can play the game with bots offline in any of the multiplayer modes you like. The game even has an in-built, squad-based 3D VOIP system that only allows for nearby players, both friendly and opposing, to hear you.
It is rare to find realistic shooters anymore nowadays, but Insurgency aims to change that. With incredible graphics and a painstakingly-detailed and realistic gameplay, it is an impressive first-person shooter.
