Insurgency vs Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms
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.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms , also known as Ghost Recon Online, is a highly competitive and tactical, team-based MMOTPS game where players on either sides will either be fighting to complete the objectives of the map or to deny the opponents their objectives. Besides its challenging yet fun gameplay, the game offers three very different character classes for you to experience the game from. Each of these classes have different roles and have different abilities but the great thing is you can play them all. Furthermore, instead of just going ‘leeroy-jenkins’ on your teammates and attempt to take out all the enemies on your own, you will need to exercise caution in this game and use the various manoeuvres, alternative routes and covers provided in the game to avoid being riddled with bullets. Let’s not forget about its superior graphics and sound system as well. Best of all, this excellent free-to-play game is by no means a pay-to-win game, at least during its early days, and that you cannot ‘quick-scope’ in this game.Unfortunately though, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms has fallen on hard times and have finally decided to close its doors. There isn't a lot of free-to-play games out there that has a cover system that's as well-designed as this game, but you can still find some really similar ones down below.
