Replying to Which Is The Best Squad Based Game?

i think that the conflict series was the best but Full Spectrum Warrior is the most realistic

I have not played any of the six games you mentioned in the poll still I voted for one and that was conflict.
now you'd asked me if I had not played many of these games then how come I vote for one. well the answer is very simple. I searched Google for the names and by the details provided to me I thought conflict is the best of the six. Since the reason of my vote is not very strong year for the more chances that my opinion is wrong but still I would say that a thing that you like in your first vision is likely to be the best of all.

squad basedWhich Is The Best Squad Based Game?

counter strike is not a squad based shooter not even close so what if its realistic and the physics are so wierd I cannot remember any time how when a body was hit with a awps bullet they go flying and get stuck in a wall

 fallout tactics is a good one you need to work together as a team to complete missions and is quite fun

 and the commandos series you control a group of commandos and need to use all of their unique abilitys to advance to the next mission to prove it has  to be a squd based strategy game try playing a level with one guy see how that works

HeYa.. no other game is better than CS.. CS RAWK! =)

Of the games mentioned in the poll I played Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon and indeed they are both very good games. However I think neither compare to one game that went unmentioned in your poll - Operation: Flashpoint. While it is somewhat old I feel it is stil unsurpassed by any other similar game.

In my opinion it is by far the most realistic of any games mentioned and on top of that has huge terrain, very varied fights and isn`t just infantry based, but is a full battle simulation.

Just to add to the debate, yes there are quite a few games missing from that list and the best is not on the S.W.A.T 4 (if you have played it you will understand - its not possible to advance in anything above and including medium difficulty without using a squad) but from the list i chose CS:S because yes of the closeness and design to S.W.A.T and ofcourse its squad based as i read that because it has bomb threats doesnt make it a squad based game - Have you heard of Clan Matches the basis of the original counter strike being the number one online game for previous years - try winning a clan match without squads and tactics.

There is a new squad-based tactical shooter called "Brothers In Arms" Its like FSW because you can issue commands to your soldiers but it takes it a step further because it places you as the team leader on the ground leading the fire and assualt teams. It is set in WWII and you are in the 101st Airborne. The game starts in the airplane overNormandy on the night of D-Day.

Multiplayer is also good because you control a team of AI soldiers and the other person on your team does the same. The online is 2vs2 but that doesn't make it worse because of all the other AI soldiers. The use of tactics is really important in order to work well with your teammate.

There isnt really anything better than Cs,  its the best squad shooter.

Dude you are on crack... haha CS is not a squad shooter at all, I can count the times when I went single handed and killed numerous people with a DEagle and a AWP, in squad based games thats almost impossilbe

like AA the best I've ever done in a round is killing three people and thats with a sniper rifle.

CS needs no squad skils, just run and gun, I do it all the time, CS is more DOOM like, instead of using stratgies. I mean how many times do you actually rescue hostage?

I never did, the only time was in CS Assult and thats cause they are on the way

Side note: Playing as VIP is really fun

There isnt really anything better than Cs, its the best squad shooter.

Even though it is not in your list, I would have to say my favourite squad based game is the game Call of Duty, it is a world war 2 based shooter which puts you in the boots of american, british and russian soldiers.

I recently finished it, My favourite part of it was the fight over Stalingrad, which was really realistic and really threw me into the heart of the battlefield.

I really hate CS... its like this...

*You see an idiot running in a stright line*
*BOOM, you fire your scout and kill him for being stupid*
*Noob: OMG YOU FAG... YOU ARE HACKING!!!
You: Dude, you just suck stop being so stupid
N00b: No you fag get out of here
You: Don’t be a sore loser…
Noob: OMG I’m SO GONNA PWN J00 NEXT TIME
You: m’kay
*Noob buys machine gun and rushes you, you shoot him in the head again…
Noob: OMF FAG CAMPER

And it goes on like that, the game is too infested with stupid people. So now I’m playing America’s Army, at least there isn’t that many idiots on their and when you camp at the objective people don’t complain couse they realized that is the point of the game
