Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Pacific Assault are very atmospheric WW2 shooters

Vietcong.



God damn, I feel old watching this. I think that game got censored/banned(?) in Germany because you could kill civilians, respectively scorch out whole Vietkong nests. Fun game though.

starting NOLF now. runs pretty good so far, but i haven't discovered how to make the UI and text size properly scaled. they work fine, just so small it hurts my eyes to read. i use the modernizer and widescreen fix

Try it with dgVoodoo.

Extract the control panel, CFG file, and DLLs for 3dfx and D3D (x86) into the game's main folder, where the executable is located. Set the resolution in the 3dfx and DirectX tabs to Max in the wrapper's control panel; you can also try aspect ratio scaling with the C.R.T. filter in the first tab.

Once the game is running with the wrapper, set its internal resolution to 640x480. This should cause the UI to be scaled up with its original proportions preserved, while the 3-D graphics will be rendered at a resolution matching your monitor's highest vertical resolution.

The 3dfx/dgVoodoo watermark can be disabled in the control panel. If the game isn't using the wrapper, try changing the renderer in its video settings.

F.E.A.R. the original is top notch (there's a bit of diminishing returns with the sequel and expansions but there's a bit of fun to be had with them all).

Original Far Cry is good - expansive levels with multiple pathways but not open world.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein 2009 are also ok.

Last two Resident Evils (7&8) are played in first person and are decent.

...but sweet.
I love so much about that game. The point system, the snappy guns, the Sergio Leone sound design, appearances of real-life historical figures, the narration and the gags based around it. Remember the mine level, when the narrator went "which is what I would've done, if I was stupid!", and then the whole level played in reverse, and you had to continue down a different path? That was so funny and inventive.
BRO ILL GIVE YOU THAT

I LIKED THE GAME ENOUGH TO FINISH IT BUT DIDNT WANT MORE

THE NARRATIVE AND PRESENTATION WAS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL THOUGH BRO

Hey it worked! Now the game runs almost perfectly.

Hidden & Dangerous games are <3 I also love Arma 2/3. Under rated. Also if you like SWAT 4 I think the 3rd one was maybe even better. And there's a game called Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear which is same/similar engine to SWAT 4 and it a similar game, but bigger/harder.
