So I've been watching some videos of that game Insurgency but upon checking out the specs, my low end laptop can't run it. So while checking around GOG for some shooters I wanted to know what your favorite shooters are here on gog.

I was looking at Arma 1 but I'm not sure if it'd be worth buying it, like do people still play? I'm more looking for games like that compared to shooters like Duke 3.

Thanks
Yeah people still play arma 1. I was actually playing earlier.

Which would be better to buy, the gold edition or col war?

Gold, it's the newer game.

Cold war is just the older game Operation Flashpoint renamed.
What did you like most about Duke Nukem 3d?

If its big guns then I would recommend the Serious Sam games or Painkiller. Those games are all about fighting huge amounts of dudes with outlandish weapons in crazy environments like ancient Egypt or an evil opera house.

The original shadow warrior(not the 2013 version) uses the same engine that duke 3d uses and should be another solid choice although the asian stereotypes in it may be in poor taste. I do not know how demanding the minimum requirements of the 2013 version of shadow warrior offhand but its a very solid shooter with some fun swordplay elements.

Oh, I meant that I didn't want a game like Nukem 3d, not my style of game.

I went with Arma and after talking to some buddies they sayed best to go Cold War, better game overall with better animations and not so badly bugged. that and it's cheeper which is always a plus in my book.

But I'm still interested in your favorite shooters
You should have went gold, no one plays cold war really.
best fps on GOG? Does Thief or Deus Ex count as FPS in this case? :)

Easy answer would ofcourse be BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
I really enjoyed Far Cry, but it's not everyone's cup o tea. Definitely plays differently from most shooters, more planning, more frustration, more reloading.

I also like Blake Stone because I am very old.
Try out Far Cry, the first one. I don't know how low end your PC is, but maybe that'll work. Shadowgrounds is also a nice series.

Ah I understand now that you want a more methodical shooter than one that's frantic. In that case, I have heard good things about swat 3 and 4 from one of my online friends being loads of fun with friends but they're heavy on the police procedural side and swat 4 is not available in digital form.

My personal pick for a methodical shooter would be the brothers in arms series. I personally enjoyed the single player of the first two games and even though I never tried the multiplayer, it's supposed to be fun from what I heard. If you have steam you can pick all three games up for twenty dollars or wait for a sale for it to be cheaper.
