It has become the benchmark for evaluating any game in which a pistol was shot and which dominated the charts, like a first-person shooter since 2003. If you have been playing Call of duty, then you are already bored with the same game again and again. Each Call of Duty game pretty much offers the same gameplay as the previous one, with some changes (with the exception of World War II, this is a great game). In addition, all these tricks of the Advanced and Endless War are pretty boring.
But let's move forward several years, and now on our shelves there are many other options for those who are looking for new challenges and a more fresh face. Here is a list of 10 games similar to Call of Duty for those looking for a change in gaming environment.
10. Homefront
Homefront really doing something special. It's not about how the gameplay is structured, but in the plot and setting.
The game tells the story of the United States, which today is barely recognizable. Affected by a tough series of events that destroyed America’s economy and prestige, the United States is just as vulnerable as before. There will be a gap in the power vacuum left by the United States - a united Korea - and by 2027, Korea launched a total attack on mainland America.
Is the story overly far-fetched? May be. But what’s important is the atmosphere, which is unique and interesting. This is not a military shooter in the classical sense.
Homefront is something completely different. There are no big scenes or large-scale battles. You will fight with your enemies in abandoned dead ends, captured warehouses and even in survival camps.
9. Half-Life
The main goal of any game is to create the illusion of reality, which is especially true for first-person shooters. The meaning of the genre is to literally “live” you into the role of the main character. In light of this, it is surprising that so many games stuck to a plan that shatters the illusion at every opportunity, with text briefings for missions, abrupt level transitions and weapons, and power-ups scattered around like decorative furniture.
But Valve Software obviously spent a lot of time studying the mistakes of the past. The result is Half-life, the genre closest to the revolutionary step. Through a series of subtle and artistic design solutions, Half-Life creates a reality that is self-sufficient, believable, and solid.
The plot of the game is typical (in fact, it is a little more than a complex version of Doom). You are Gordon Freeman, a scientist from the Black Mesa Research Center, participating in some mysterious experiments. These experiments fail, and dirty creatures begin to take over the complex. The game is getting harder, but there is no need to reveal the surprises that await. Suffice it to say that Half-Life is not a great game because of its history; it's a great game because of how it presents this story.
From the initial moments of the game to the final, all hell is constantly falling apart, and there is no moment when you do not see things through the eyes of Freeman. The game has event scenarios. There are opening and closing scenes. But they all occur naturally in a gaming environment. It may seem simple, but it helps a lot to create a believable world.
8. Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45
Fight in the arena of hostilities that forever changed the world. Fight along with your compatriots in the most disadvantaged places on the Eastern Front in Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45.
Red Orchestra puts you in the most realistic multiplayer warfare of the First World War on the PC to date, allowing the player to fight in the most intense battles of the war. You can play for the infantry using a wide selection of infantry weapons, or the crew of one of the many armored combat vehicles available in the game, from simple to the most famous German and Soviet heavy tanks.
Fight with the enemy everything in your arsenal, from a bayonet in melee to a massive 122-mm gun on the Soviet IS-2. And if that is not enough, find an officer and a radio to cause thunderous artillery strikes to neutralize the enemy.
7. Insurgency
Insurgency deftly camped between two of the best online tactics: Counter-Strike and Red Orchestra. Slower and more open than the first, but on a smaller scale (with a more concentrated action) than the second, this is a great intermediate point that allows you to think more during the action than just shoot another team, but also keep your pace moving fast enough so that matches do not turn into 45-minute fights.
6. Warface
Warface focuses equally on several PvP modes, as well as co-op modes, such as special operations, which will require focused planning and teamwork if you want to succeed.
There is a comprehensive plot in Warface, in which two special forces factions (Warface and Blackwood) participate, and you get a little background during each mission.
Daily rotating missions on the cooperative’s main screen serve as a way to pull out new items, ranks, money, and other supplies. You will earn a certain amount of crowns based on your kill account and the time it takes to complete the mission. They are used as a special currency, allowing you to rent weapons and armor with a unique design in the game.
5. Wolfenstein
First-person shooter for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Sometimes you just want to play a game with a friend without thinking about anything. If this is what you need now, then Wolfenstein: Youngblood for you.
This is a game about going to Paris with a friend and shooting a bunch of Nazis. Players control Jess and Sophie, daughters of the protagonist Wolfenstein BJ Blazkowicz. When dad disappears in Nazi-occupied Paris, teenage sisters decide to save him.
4. Medal of Honor
On behalf of the special operations group in the Shahikot mountains (a real place in which some of the most brutal battles of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the American ground war in the country took place in 2002), we have an order to destroy several Taliban positions.
When the hero makes his way through the wreckage of a small outpost, destroyed by the support of AC-130, the smoke dissipates, you can see how the sun rises above the ridge line, filling the sky with red and blue light. This is one of those moments when your unbelief is suspended, and you experience it as if you were seeing it with your own eyes.
Medal of honor this is a story about soldiers, a story that is on the verge of tragedy, or at least trying.
3. Battlefield
Battlefield - monumental shooter. If we discard the "single-player" campaign (fun, varied and effective, but very short), the strength of the production is clearly represented in PvP. His large-scale battles are an experience through which all fans of the multiplayer must go.
Smoke-filled skies, ruined buildings, ubiquitous dirt, trenches and heavily armored beasts, toxic gas clouds and the panicky feeling that you are being shot at from all sides, and not a single square inch of land is truly safe. The situation seems not just gloomy, but rather apocalyptic.
2. Sniper Elite
When World War II comes to an end, the first hidden battles of the Cold War begin. Once in the struggle for life between the Soviets and the Germans in the war-torn Berlin, you control the fate of the lone American sniper OSS. Disguised as a German and working deep behind enemy lines, you must prevent the Stalinist forces from gaining control of Germany’s nuclear secrets. Get ready to change the course of history.
Authentic Simulator “Sniper elite”World War II with realistic weapons and ballistic ballistics.
1. Ghost Recon Wildlands
Like most of the series Ghost recon, wildlands throws you into a troubled, war-torn land that is completely awash with bad guys that you need to get rid of as efficiently as possible.
This time the action takes place in the South American country of Bolivia. A lot of creative freedom was brought both with landscapes and with the politics of the region, but the game does everything possible to fit the storyline into something reminiscent of modern world events.
Fortunately, you will be too busy with helicopter flights, rescuing the rebels and firing heavily armed cartel members to take care of minor things.
