BF5, Black Ops 4 or Sandstorm Insurgency?
I am a budget gamer who owns custom built pc with i5-7400, gtx 1050(going to upgrade to 1060 or 1070 soon), z270x ultra gaming motherboard, and 8gb ram. I play games such as R6s, Fortnite, Overwatch, For honor but I really felt I should have some tactical warfare game in my pc. I was thinking about BF5 but people are hating it. Call of duty? Not really into it. Insurgency sandstorm? Just my type but not really a massive multiplayer warfare. So what do you guys think I should get?

PS I live in Asia, I thought maybe that would help.

None of those games are exactly Massively Multiplayer, ah. I may edit my post on some other games that could be way more tactical, I'll just link store pages. Though I wouldn't know exactly if they have servers in Asia or not. You'd have to do that bit of detective work yourself.

And for the 3 games you've listed. Insurgency definately takes the cake.

The other two are just running around spawn camping pew pew fest casual first person shooters. Battlefield 5 does have some simple building mechanics if you're a support I think, but that isn't exactly enough to say it's a real tactical game when you can spawn right infront of an enemy and get your head blown off a split second after. On that topic, someone spawned in front of me with their back turned once in Battlefield 1, you know what I did? Melee killed them and felt bad after. Terrible spawn systems in Battlefield and Call of Duty.

Insurgency, if you want a half-realistic half-arcade awesome shooter. BO4, if you want to play a GOOD battle royale game with no building feature, but not PUBG sh*t.
I recommend the former more and BFV has no appeal imo. I'll wait until EA notices us and make a legit BF"5".

Insurgency: Sandstorm
Sure, the multiplayer is not as massive as BFV and BO4's Blackout mode but it offers more tactical, realistic gameplay. It can also be
really intense sometimes.

Tactical and realistic. Please. No, not even remotely close. But these are videogames, people tend to forget that.

I would say BO4 or Insurgency, not BF5 unless it is on sale. You can buy BO4 MP/BR for $30 now, but it doesn't include the Zombiepart, which is okay if you don't play it anyway.

The Multiplayer for BO4 is pretty good, though there are meta weapons and that isn't exactly fun to play against.

Insurgency is a pretty decent shooter aswell, which is not really arcade compared to BO4, but also not realistic, still fun.

I mean compared to BFV and BO4, it feels more "tactical" and "realistic". That's just my thoughts.

Yeah compared to you're right. Even though the Battlefield fanboys keep on claiming the game is realistic, when in reality it is not.

If you're used to games like Siege, then I'd say go with Insurgency Sandstorm.

The latter.
