    hi, this is gonna be a tough one but im lookin for a strategic/tactical fps on the lines of GRAW or R6:Vegas ... i was playing GRAW2 at my friends on his xbox360 and i must say it was VERY enjoyable, so then i purchase graw2 for PC and i go online and i see about 15 people playing the game out of all the servers!!! :mad: does anyone play this game? i love it for 360 (almost makes me want to get one and i dont even like using a controller!) -- basically i love the tactical feel of it, but i can't find nething of the sorts on the PC.. COD4 is too chaotic and GRAW2 there is no one online... anyone have suggestions? thanks ;p

    I second the Brothers in Arms series. Excellent World War II tactical FPS.

    SWAT4 would be the closest to proper tactical FPS.

    My suggestion is rainbow six vegas. both very fun online and campaign. Just a bit taxing on a system as it was a poorly coded port from console.

    If your only seeing 15 people online you might want to check what version of the game your running. If you have a different version (i.e. patch) then you won't see the other servers running a different patch version.

    I second the suggestion of americas army, it's a great game, it's free, there's no lack of players and it's an extremely tactical game.

    The game itself has a steep learning curve, even if you play a lot of typical fps's it will take a little while to get used to. It's designed to be as accurate as possible(it's made by the army). It's very tactical on certain levels and even without voice you learn to communicate with your team.

    There's also a good flow of clans out there, I highly suggest you join one as it makes the game a lot more fun, since it's tactical in nature getting used to the people you play with makes it a lot easier.
