Feels like most shooter games these days are super fast paced, COD style games with 0.5 second reload times and Olympic sprinter running speeds. What are some games that have weightier gameplay mechanics and don't make you feel like a superhuman?

"Ready or Not" seems not to be recommended yet. It is basically a SWAT simulator you can play single player or together with 4 people.

You can choose your loadout freely to complete the missions. I recommend going blind into the missions on a first playthrough as some have some unexpected surprises ...

There's like 3 missions where you ought to be relatively quick. It's a good game tho

The Far Cry games pretty much always allow a sniper and/or stealth option. Some of the scripted mission sequences can be fast paced, but it's largely open world. If you're not familiar with them, stick to the games with numbers in the titles for starters. Probably not 6. Maybe not 2 this day and age. 3-6 all exist with a particular style in mind.

Unless you're anti ubisoft

If you can mind the obnoxious patriotic undertones, Hell Divers is actually my go to game rn. Partly hate it for the mentioned but overall, pretty decent game. I'm not a hard core gamer really (in general) but the game has grown on me and it's PvE so it's fun being able to play with others instead of being toxic.

Interested in why you call them patriotic “undertones” lol. The patriotism is overt to the point that if you miss that it’s satire you may be missing out on half of the experience of the game

if you wouldn't mind 3rd person stuff then I would recommend "conflict: " game series

You have to reload "manually" 😁

Rainbow Six: Siege

People who play it like COD are the worst players in the game. Everything is designed to reward methodical, team-focused strategy so you can get the upper hand on people who don’t pay attention and try to rush everything.

I can highly recommend War Of Rights. Multiplayer only American civil war fps.

You form a long line in a field with 20 odd men facing the enemy line. It takes around 25 seconds to reload your gun, while the enemy is firing at you.

"Gentlemen, take aim, steady, steadyyy, steadyyyyyy, FIRE!"

The whole team gets penalised if you die out of line or duck for cover.

Generation Zero. Player power builds slowly, especially in single player.
