Shooter where you can walk - about a thousand computer games (if not more) fit this description. Should focus on the most famous. More details in the article.
Genre
The more common name for such projects is shooters. From the English word shoot - shoot. Usually these are first-person games, where the hero’s arms are displayed on the screen holding weapons, in the center of the screen there is a sight for more accurate hits on enemies, and on the sides or at the bottom of the screen there is a game interface. As a rule, the latter includes the level of vital energy of the protagonist, the supply of cartridges and some secondary information.
Less common are third-person shooters. This is not a 3D shooter where you can walk from side to side. The term 3D refers to graphic technology - carefully crafted characters are involved in the game. At the same time, third-person shooters may not necessarily be 3D.
Unreal tournament
Remembering the first popular shooting games with weapons, where you can walk, I recall this futuristic shooter. First-person view. The game takes place in a cooperative mode: players are divided into teams and engage in a shootout on a randomly generated or specially selected map. In the arsenal there are all kinds of machine guns, grenade launchers, laser guns, sniper rifles. Everyone chooses a weapon to his liking.
Counter strike
Another shooter where you can walk with weapons that conquered all computer clubs at the beginning of the 2000s is the famous "Contra". Shouts of "Terrorist Win!" one could hear from the club’s window, just passing by, and understand what schoolchildren were playing right now.
Accidentally overheard in public transport, a terminology such as “Yesterday chopped on Asalta” also betrayed the gaming preferences of the younger generation.
STALKER
Suddenly released shooter, where you can walk with weapons, with a first-person view, made a coup among fans of the genre. “Shadow of Chernobyl” - this is the name of the first part of the franchise. The atmosphere of post-apocalypse, and even on the maps of the post-Soviet space, attracted the attention of gamers for a long time.
The plot is based on the life of hunters for particularly valuable artifacts within the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. A stalker nicknamed "Tagged" must eliminate a certain "Arrow", as well as find a way to turn off the Brain Burner and open the way to Pripyat. And later - to find under the sarcophagus of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant a certain wish-fulfiller, known as the “Monolith”.
The project became so popular that it was released: the prequel "Clear Sky" and the sequel "Call of Pripyat."
The developers also planned the release of the game STALKER 2, but for unknown reasons was postponed.
Mass effect
And this is a third-person shooter, with elements of fiction. BioWare set the stage for the development of the entire Mass Effect universe. Gamers who prefer shooting games, where you can walk not with conventional weapons, but with laser futuristic rifles, have plunged headlong into a new game project.
Unusual plot, high-quality graphics, ornate dialogs, romantic lines and unusual original characters - these are the keywords that can characterize the entire Quad Effect Mass Effect from BioWare.
Serious sam
You can not ignore this furious action movie. Shooting games with weapons, where you can walk, run, jump, throw grenades, blow everything up, destroy and smash little can beat “Cool Sam”. The release was very popular in the early 2000s. He attracted attention with dynamics, an interesting plot, the presence of enemies, the simplicity of the gameplay and the presence of a sense of humor.
The plot is very simple - Sam needs to confront the cosmic threat in the person of the Mental, to shoot hordes of enemies that rush to him on every map. To dodge the annoying noisy kamikaze that they strive to undermine the main character, as well as “fill up” the giant bosses, who are so eager to trample Sam.
Conclusion
There are a lot of shooting games. In stock, every gamer always has a dozen or two of his favorites. Often those who will not be in favor with another gamer. The taste and color of comrades is not there.
Nevertheless, the well-known games will always be in the memory of fans of the genre, if only to simply indulge in nostalgia.
We cannot forget such shooting games where you can walk like Doom, Quake 3 Arena, the Wolfenstein series of games that are still being released.
Modern online shooters are also popular. A striking example is the brainchild of Mail.Ru Group called Warface. An online game with a first-person view, which tells about the confrontation of the soldiers of the Warface organization with the world evil called Blackwood. The latter are a kind of corporation that wants to gain control of the whole world by any means. Warface combines both classic elements of a shooter based on Counter Strike (maps of PvP fights between players, planting bombs, defending a base) and elements of science fiction: there are missions where you need to shoot attacking zombies that are the result of unsuccessful Blackwood experiments consciousness control.
Often, enemy soldiers are armed with unusual cannons, and deadly turrets can jump out from under the ground. This is a shooter where you can walk, jump, run, defend and attack.
