I really dont get how people call this a "Tactical shooter"

[Badass_Ben]

Coming from the actual tactical shooter community, this game plays VERY much like COD

Jumping and shooting

Unrealistic use of weapons

(Sniper rifles dominating in CQC? What a joke)

Etc


Idk; i gave it the old college try, but this is, sure as ♥♥♥♥, not "tactical" and this sure as ♥♥♥♥, aint for me

It isnt so much "giving up" as im not interested in an arcade shooter.

Thought this might be a "tactical shooter" from what ive heard from friends, but it absolutely is not.

far from an arcade shooter, don't run and gun and learn weapon handling. play 1.6

"Tactical shooter" refers to using real-world tactics to win gunfights

Not simply having "tactics"

HALO has tactics

APEX has tactics

But a "tactical shooter" slides MUCH farther down the "realism" spectrum

Ready or Not is tactical

SQUAD is tactical

Some guns can do the "run n gun" part but as you go in better ranks these run and gun tactics don't work if you are going to use smg whole match against other new players then yes it will be effective but try same thing against some good players you will get smacked in the face


Note: currently the game is in F'ed state due to overwhelming amount of cheaters and super high accuracy of weapon while even running so I suggest that you don't try the game right now and play it later once every thing is fixed.

It is not a tactical shooter, COD is not a tactical shooter .. it is a Fast paced shooter = FPS game, wich is a genre within the first-person shooter games ..

If you want to play a tactical shooter then you pick a game like rainbow six siege where the movements is limited and dull & clunky to make or Arma 3 for that matter, thous games are tactical shooters !

Counterstrike is a team based fast paced shooter similar to what Quake and unreal tournament was .. The one thing that made the difference between the games was the bomb to be planted and or defused and the hostages to be saved in counterstrike !

it can be tactical, but the main focus in counterstrike is that it is fast-paced and the killing goes fast, so all the nerfs done to the weapons & movements in CS 2 is a wrong turn for a fast-paced shooter game like Counterstrike and should be roled back again to its normal condition !

so are you saying the same as valorant? this kind of games is about mentality, strategy and the flow of the game. thats why you have to win 13 rounds in order to win the game. previous round enemy rush mid, are you going to do something about it? or left mid and push other openings?

its more than just shoot and kill in a round

"Halo has tactics" ...well we can end this thread RN

This is just what the genre was called. It came to differinatiate itself from other shooters, mainly Arena FPS like Quake and Unreal Tournament, based on the more grounded modern setting and slower paced gameplay. Any team game is gonna require tactics and strategy of course, CS isn't unique in that, but it's just what the genre was called and that's what stuck. The other games you mentioned like Squad are called Military Simulation or mil-sims for short.

If you think of it all on a scale, you could have classic Arena FPS on the far left, then console arcade shooters like Halo and Call of Duty slightly to the right, in the middle there's tactical shooters like CS and Valorant, slightly to the right you'd have Rainbow Six Siege, and then all the way to the right you'd have your mil-sims - Arma, Squad, etc.

You could question the naming behind almost any genre, like what the hell is an "Arena FPS" anyway, or a "multiplayer online battle arena", couldnt that be used for literally any multiplayer game with combat? It's best not to think too hard on these things, and just accept that these are shorthands to quickly convey an idea without having to constantly describe it in full detail.

It depends where you're coming from. If your used to play games like Arma or Hell let loose CS is definitely an arcade game. Compared to games like COD or Battlefield this is a tactical shooter. CS is just not a Mil-Sim but it's not run and gun either

FPS = First Person Shooter.

CS = Tactical Shooter

As someone who claims to have played the CS franchise form the very beginning you have 0 idea about the game you play.
