Far Cry 2 is probably the most depressing FPS I've ever played. No, it's not because of the setting or story, but because it had so much potential to be the ultimate Africa merc sim, but instead I got some shitty shooter, set in linear, boring maps with enemies that respawn 3 minutes after you kill them, repetitive objectives that force you to drive through the same map, fighting through those same checkpoints you cleared 50 times before. As soon as I was done with the first half, I thought the game would open up, but NOPE, do the same shit again, except this time you need to spend 5 minutes crossing a stupid lake to get to the quest hub.Far Cry 2 is still my favourite FPS.
Setting and story are ace, the fire mechanic cool (if a bit gimmicky).
There is some annoying stuff too, like instantly reinforced outposts or stealth jeeps, but if you can get past that there's nothing better.

Hexen is good. There's also Strife if you want something a bit more sophisticated.What about those oldies like Hexen and stuff?
No.Also, new Doom any good?
There are mods that add realistic weapon damage which removes bullet spongy enemies but afaik there are none that fix the broken respawn mechanics and repetition.Fc2 as already mentioned (sad potential), also more arcadey but the timesplitters series is solid.
Btw I only played fc2 on PS3, is there mods and shit on pc to make it that bit better?
Yeah I installed it earlier with a few realism mods but that fucking respawning, holy shit, I wouldn't mind if they did it like once a day but it feels like if you stay in an area too long they just appear.There are mods that add realistic weapon damage which removes bullet spongy enemies but afaik there are none that fix the broken respawn mechanics and repetition.Fc2 as already mentioned (sad potential), also more arcadey but the timesplitters series is solid.
