Games are garbage nowadays if they don't get content updates every month. It amuses me since I've been playing PC games so long but it's definitely a widely shared sentiment.
Fully disagree. The game is in a terrible state right now. All the active servers are community ran, which are owned by massive zerg clans that kick any player that does better than them. It was a massive issue because the game isnt attracting casuals with the lack of updates, and hardcore players lost a majority of servers they can play on. Not to mention no updates for over a year after they put out some bad balancing changes. The game is currently dead with a downward spiral. BUT it could have honestly been a much better game than it was like at launch. But it's been mismanaged terribly, even if they put out a massive update, I doubt the playerbase would crack 10k again.

Go look at the comments on the reveal trailer, lot of dissapponted fans and more and more youtubers have been exposing the devs for cutting content and not listening to the fans
@@ghostly6175 "exposing the devs for cutting content and not listening to the fans" Get a life bro. The game is fantastic and has come so far and surpassed most people's expectations. Fans have unrealistic expectations and most of the time have the most garbage ideas. Hence why tarkov is an absolute shitshow of a game and has been on a steady decline the past 3 years.
@@ghostly6175 "A lot of disappointed fans", "Exposing the devs"... are you being serious? A controversial game like this released in the current political climate, yet sitting at 89% positive on steam is a testament to its quality. And did you just insinuate business malpractice by the devs for cutting content? RoN is one of the very few games that successfully transitioned from EA to 1.0 which is only possible with dedicated devs.
@@ghostly6175 that's not exposing dummy lmfao, don't act like the game is getting review bombed and nobody plays it, I can literally pull up the steam page rn and call out your bs
Six Days at this point is a dead game, a small community of people still play it and it gets a resurgence after updates but imo their development timeline was too long with not enough content added with each update, the randomly generated maps add some replayability but only have a 4 man fireteam facing off against like a platoon of insurgents is just unrealistic compared to what they are going for.
@@ghostly6175exactly my thoughts, even the good old Delta Force Black Hawk Down was much better in this regard of portraying the amount of friendly forces.
@TheRama2299 he might be talking about the concerns that bluedrake brought up with kernel lvl anticheat. And if so, those concerns were very valid, and I dont see why ppl would say otherwise
@@mieciotherock5131 I'm not going to get into the discussion on this one because, oh boy. But I will say, I didn't find anything Bluedrake brought up in his videos was wrong or out of place in the discussion on kernel level anti-cheat and the games that use it (I guess his specific problem game was just Delta Force but yeah) and the amount of bullshit and vitreol both communities plopped out, was gross honestly. When it got personal, I basically checked out. I just feel both of them do it for the "drama bait" and that's fine I guess, it's YT after all.
You mentioning PUBG reminded me of a round we played together when there was only TPP available and we absolutely destroyed everyone. Good times and I'm very happy to see how much your channel has grown since then. You deserve it, bigman !
It still hurts for me to see that WW3 not only is getting the side treatment, but being lower than BF 2042. At least the rest of the list is pretty solid, but I’d still wager that CS2 definitely doesn’t deserve to be that high, since it is riding the coat tails of CS:GO, along with pulling an Overwatch 2 by removing content from the game and people are still hyping it.
Point blank by the end bf2042 was probably a high c low b, but the fact it was battlefield, mixed with the bait trailers, the disappointment alone puts it at a d or f
Not bad, I feel like most of those games are exactly the same. Respect to Tarkov for getting devs to move on from Battle Royal. Respect to China for having good taste... Respect to Battlebit for making Battlefield fans and influencers look like idiots....
I'd still put Battlebit in A tier. Keeping it in early access was an awful move but game doesn't lack pretty much anything in content or features. Movement, destruction, gunplay, teamplay features are still among the best in the genre. It is still fps game I play the most at the moment. On the other hand, putting CS2 that high up is hillarious, considering it got much worse treatment when it comes to updates than battlebit - it got massive updates that removed old content, introduced a lot of technical issues, destroyed optimisation and ruined big parts of the game for casual players.
The Unheard edition fiasco alone puts Tarkov in D tier, at best. Forget spitting in the face of their own fans. That was Nikita pulling his pants down and shitting in their mouth. You have to be actually insane to be on BSG's side after that whole situation. And that's not even getting into all the other shit that's wrong with the game.
Problem with small Indies is often, they have great ideas but not the budget to create a solid base (let alone even basic marketing) that pulls enough attraction to further fund them. Thus they get stuck as soon as they´re over the "bare bones" status and that´s that. Are they biting more than they can chew? Maybe
The Finals is definitely my newest favorite FPS. I wouldn't consider it a tactical FPS, more class based/sandbox strategy FPS. Win or lose it's fun regardless of outcome. The gameplay loop of the cash out and quick cash mode is addicting
Man, finally someone giving Delta Force credit, and doesn't act like BF fanboy crybaby. Can't believe people prefer to support terrible 70$ dollars, over a decent free game that even gives FREE stuff.
Yeah, it's kinda weird seeing BF content creator/players for some reason seeing df then proceed to praise and defend BF2042? (Not all of them ofc.) Like, if we compare 2042 at beta which is sold at full price to Delta Force current beta which is F2P it's night and day in terms of how stable the game is and how much bugs the game had. 2042 was almost as notorious as Cyberpunk 2077 when it launch the bugs was so bad it became a laughingstock. Have spend a couple hours in Delta Force and so far I have not faced any bugs. My only complaints I have is on or two of the map not being my cup of tea in warfare.
i get why anybody could simply dislike tarkov, its not a likable game, its punishing beyond belief and they only aim to make it more punishing... its like they intend to suck all the fun out of it. Besides that its overrun with cheaters and cheaters simply impact your experience far more in that than any other game... with all that said... aint no fucking way it lands in B, as a FPS it sets the standard in gun customization, tactical play not to mention outright gunplay and immersion... the sound only rivaled by games like squad (wait... where is squad?). I mean... i get it i really do but i just dont get it at the same time. Tark has its problems, we all know it but my god its an S tier FPS if there ever was one. I like ready or not but its not even close to the same standard, most missions are extremely brief and can be completed in short time, the AI is terrible, NPC's laughably jank, Gunplay average, half cooked DLC dropping months after release which many would agree was not really ready for release...
100% Tarkov and CS because of the impact on gaming as a whole are top S tier along with Arma. No matter what anyone says , you can’t deny how these games changed fps games as a whole. Tarkov to this day is one of a kind experience even tho it’s the hardest fps on the market and beyond cancer, nothing compares nor competes.
Tarkob is F D at best it's straight trash ppl been doing the same quests for literally 7 yrs and you mention the sound to be good in tarkov 😅😅😅 I take it you haven't played much
Based af list tbh. Fully agree with everything. Siege and insurgency are easily my favorites for for tactical shooters, and I'd easily put Siege at S if not for Ubisoft being awful and all of the terrible goofy cosmetics. Both Insurgency and Sandstorm were pretty much peak for a shooter gameplay wise, with the near perfect blend of somewhat arcadey shooter mechanics with enough realism to feel grounded but also still play incredibly smooth. I do wish the gameplay and maps had bit more depth to them like siege does, but the games were amazing nonetheless and unfortunately never had playbase it needed to be mainstream like it ought to have been. I think I entirely agree with this whole list honestly, and I never do that lol
I understand that you're not a Tarkov guy, but if there wasn't SPT, then i would completely agree with you. I know you are most towards PvP, so the FPS genre for you must be "online" to enjoy "with others", but the state of Tarkov because of cheaters and non-casual players is making the game unplayable. It is so ridiculous! But since There is SPT, i'd put it between A and B. Cheers.
I used to play Tarkov and haven’t gotten SPT, but your criticisms are very fair. Cheaters are annoying but the game is WAY too sweaty. I sometimes think about how I enjoyed Tarkov… then I remember why I stopped playing. However, I will say that SPT could be considered its own game
@ they got free lean with both sticks pushed in but yes the lean is alot like insurgency with control either way its a fame changer for controller players 🤟🤟
Battlebit's devs are making a huge update. They post updates in their discord. Its not abandoned. It was planned to release multiple times I think, but now its TBA I think.
@@BigfryTV You put Battlebit at C at first because that game is abandoned even though this does not really say anything about the quality of the game design at all and when ranking Bodycam you just said it's bad and that's about it. Not very interesting and some pretty flimsy criteria for a tier list.
@@LightTrack- "You put Battlebit at C at first because that game is abandoned even though this does not really say anything about the quality of the game" What would you give it instead? A Tier for raking in a boatload of cash and then abandoning it without finishing it? The quality doesn't matter as much anymore if a game isn't being finished but the devs do have the ressources to finish it. D tier is absolutely fine for that, especially as it has the potential to get a higher ranking if the devs actually do finish it, or you know, a spot to go down if they don't. There's no way you'd give it a higher rating after they not only made money on the game but also on the supporter pack in addition and run off, lol
@@Unknown_Genius BattleBit itself while the servers were filled was easily an A tier game. It ran on practically every computer and the servers worked just fine. The game was a ton of fun. People still talk about it because everyone hates the devs throwing away such a well made game over just calling it a day when the money rolled in. Like i said, the tiers mean nothing because there is no set criteria. I can also put Fortnite in F tier if i'm enough of a macho man to not play that kiddie game and instead call everything coming from it "cringe". Who cares about game design anyway?
EFT being anything but F is kinda... offputting. The Wiggle that Killed it, and then the whole Singleplayer locked behind a huge paywall, when you already paid for the game is insane.
What about Arma Reforger? Are you actually playing it these day's? It seems to be picking up bigfry time. And the other big one that's missing is squad.
Agree with the list overall, I think Delta Force is a low B or high C because it's a goofy hero shooter, some classes slide some don't, limited grenades and kit options, 2042 feels better movement wise...I think Squad should be on there as a C and ARMA Reforger a high A or S tier, it's pretty solid.
Great video! Love the memories of most of these games! No way caliber is S,A,B, or C tier. Maybe D, the movement and lack of it makes it a D tier. Love the S tier of ARMA and Insurgency. I would add ABI, R6S, Tarkov and PUBG, personally. Ready or Not is A tier for me. Delta Force is fun but to easy imo. It’s definitely not better than ABI. I’m so on the fence with Ghost Recon and BF. Used to love the franchises and what they could actually pull off in regards to PvP with the amount of talent they have. Battle bit is just not for me. I rather play BF.
Glad to see Insurgency: Sandstorm was ranked an S. I recently just jumped back into it after a few years hiatus from it, nice to see some of the updates and added crossplay now. It's honestly unmatched when it comes to just jumping in a match online and playing a few games. It was nice to hear about Fry's updated opinions on some of the games in the tier list, great video
Any suggestions on COD multiplayer alternatives ( first person shooter only) that is Cross platform. I was never a FPS gamer until my Girlfriend who is a COD fiend got me in to playing Cold War and now I enjoy FPS games. But COD is wearing thin on her now and she has been playing since world at war and Black Ops is her favorite COD series. I know there are some good games out there but the ones I can think of are 3rd person/ over the shoulder type shooters which she just doesn't like. So lookin for some good fast paced HCTDM style cross platform alternatives out there. Thanks in advance!
Great video! I agree with most of your picks except Star Citizen. It’s a solid C for me. It’s been getting pretty big updates fairly consistently and the gunplay feels much better these days! Also, you should DEFINITELY do a “Battlebit What Happened?” video! Love to hear the story on what’s going on.
@@Pentaground tbh that's what I thought till I started to realized most of game consists entirely on shooting people in the legs until you have like a gazillion roubles and then you can afford the one and only type of ammo for your gun that's competent, and then it's the same cycle. There's no point in playing the game as it's meant to, it's either leg meta or the most expensive ammo meta, no middle point. That said I don't think it's a bad game, it's just not enjoyable
@@TheRama2299they finally had an answer to leg meta and low pen ammo with the realistic armour plate hitbox update, but then streamers complained and they changed it back to be more like the original armour zones.
Love him talking about "leg meta" and "spreadsheets," bro just boot the game up and give it an honest try. 🤣 I personally play tarkov when I want a slow, tactical, and usually solo experience. Being able to take advantage of movement, position, and sound often leaves me feeling like a badass. I wouldn't even call myself a "good" player, just average.
Seems like a ranking I would choose too. I'm a die hard fan of Battlefield but man DICE really destroyed it's reputation. BF 2042 isn't a Battlefield game. it deserves that spot. For Tarkov, I have to agree with you! I hate the inventory simulator, the insane amount of loot, the hideout, the skill attributes, the long loading times. but if you take that away, the gunplay on Tarkov, and the flexibility of weapon customizations destorys all of the games in the list, I even think it's better than Insurgency Sandstorm. My perfect game would be Tarkov without the stuff I mentioned, and with same gameplay loop as Hunt Showdown. Good video bigfry, more variety like this is good.
Somebody's gotta get you into Tarkov. It takes dedication to get into it but once you do its incredibly rewarding, more so than anything else I've played. Theres options too. PVE if you want to do the massive quest line. PVP if you want to rage. Arena for practice and quest rewards. Arena is now linked to main tarkov where you can transfer rewards to PVP stash. Heading for full release soon. 100k to 500k concurrent players depending where it is in wipe, steady for the last 7 years.
Ready Or Not is the only one I I still play consistently and it is one of my absolute favorite online multiplayer games, with the other two being Hunt Showdown and Outlast Trials.
No, it's not underrated in any shape or form, it's exactly where it's supposed to be. It's been in development since i was in fucking middle school, I'm in my mid 20's now and yet it still feels like a clunky tech demo with nice weapon customization.
Great take on Arena Breakout! But I do believe the game will be in a better spot if you ever do this list again. The Devs have been very humble and open to community feedback
of the entire list of games the only one's i've ever played are Hell Let Loose, Battlebit Remastered, Delta Force, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, Caliber, WW3, Battlefield 2042 and if have to put then in a list will be like this: 1.- Rainbow Six Siege 2.- Hell Let Loose 3.- Battlebit Remastered 4.-Delta Force 5.- CS: GO The rest are pretty much forgettable for me
@@Lenariet You left out that Bluedrake also didn't disclose being involved in other projects he hyped up on his channel in the past, whereas he attacked bigfry for not disclosing a sponsorship where he wasn't even sponsored when it released. But it wondered me that it took that long, considering that Bluedrake had been annoying in the modding community for a long time by just re-linking everything solely through his website for extra revenue and specifically naming them differently on the side so people can't just bypass his free cash grabbing by directly going to moddb in case the website doesn't work for them or they use adblock.
I bought bodycam for zombies, played one round and immediately refunded it. I figured that the game just was not for me......... but maybe It wasn't just me.
It was mainly hyped because of its graphics. I never understood why people wanted feverdream graphics with a "supposedly bodycam" feature that overall was just a normal FPS controller with junk and a lense effect. I primarily want a game to be a game, not something that tries to look like real life and fails to do so, especially since any bugs are just non acceptable on such graphics as they kill the experience
If you put health bars over enemies in Tarkov, you could call it Division 3 and slap Ubisofts logo on it. And then every six months or so, Ubisoft gets hacked and you have to start a new account to grind out all over again. It’s the only game I ever realized I legitimately hate playing. The moment-to-moment gameplay just isn’t fun. Now that there are other extraction shooters, it’s easy to realize that Tarkov is just a clunky walking simulator with guns. I just wish it hadn’t taken almost 3000 hrs to realize that. If you love tarkov, that’s awesome. But relative to other games, there is nothing to show for your dedication.. other than your ever-increasing hour counter.
I would technically argue Immersive Mode improved Ghost Recon. I know it's not fair to mention mods, but there are some fantastic mods for Breakpoint that aren't just cosmetic ports
You say “S” tier is reserved for games that shaped the industry then put Tarkov in the middle😂😂😂😂 Tarkov has been the mold all game devs have been trying to copy and breaking themselves over for years
It's mostly the unsuccessful indie titles. You don't see triple A games going full Tarkov like Arena Breakout did, it's the only game that can be compared to Tarkov because it's a literal Tarkov carbon copy. If that was the case, then all extraction shooters are trying to copy The Division's dark zone experience
@@TheRama2299the division 😢 so heartbroken they cancelled the development on the newer one. One game i was really excited for and telling people about, but that didnt age well lmao
Totally agree man, every other game wishes they had what Tarkov does, despite all of the bugs, cheaters and misfires around monetisation. In years to come we will look back at Tarkov and lament the fact that we didn't appreciate it more as a community!
Insurgency Sandstorm leaving gamepass in January 15th broke my heart ;( my 330 level character will be gone now and ı'll just have my lvl 22 steam character without any of those cool outfits. ohh well still love Insurgency to hell and back though, perfect blend between realistic gameplay and join a match and go type that lots of other arcadey shooters have.
Bodycam is fun, especially the zombies mode but the game is just lacking content and has no gameplay loop sadly. Forgetting to rank Squad and Arma reforger is crazy...
Not sure why Star Citizen was on the list lol - What do YOU think of my rankings? Let me know down below!
Where would Battlefield 1 be?
I agree to most all this list. I would have put at a lower tier ABI because of the P2W mechanics. I think I enjoyed more ABI over Delta Force operations when they came out respectively, but the P2W just screwed everything. That's personal opinion and sensivity to certain things. I'm highly sensitive to cheating issues and P2W. Right now, I can't see ABI at the same tier or higher than EFT, thanks to SPT.
But in the end, I agree to almost all of it. There are a lot of tactical shooters poping up, to the point I play some of them and move on and never come back. The only ones I come back and still enjoy coming back are indeed Insurgency (2014 and Sandstorm), PUBG and CS

Go look at the comments on the reveal trailer, lot of dissapponted fans and more and more youtubers have been exposing the devs for cutting content and not listening to the fans
@@ghostly6175 "exposing the devs for cutting content and not listening to the fans" Get a life bro. The game is fantastic and has come so far and surpassed most people's expectations. Fans have unrealistic expectations and most of the time have the most garbage ideas. Hence why tarkov is an absolute shitshow of a game and has been on a steady decline the past 3 years.
@@ghostly6175 "A lot of disappointed fans", "Exposing the devs"... are you being serious? A controversial game like this released in the current political climate, yet sitting at 89% positive on steam is a testament to its quality. And did you just insinuate business malpractice by the devs for cutting content? RoN is one of the very few games that successfully transitioned from EA to 1.0 which is only possible with dedicated devs.
@@ghostly6175 that's not exposing dummy lmfao, don't act like the game is getting review bombed and nobody plays it, I can literally pull up the steam page rn and call out your bs

Six days being behind a third person shooter on a best/worst FPS list is wild
Ikr
Six Days at this point is a dead game, a small community of people still play it and it gets a resurgence after updates but imo their development timeline was too long with not enough content added with each update, the randomly generated maps add some replayability but only have a 4 man fireteam facing off against like a platoon of insurgents is just unrealistic compared to what they are going for.
@@ghostly6175exactly my thoughts, even the good old Delta Force Black Hawk Down was much better in this regard of portraying the amount of friendly forces.
The list needs Rust, Scum, Squad, Destiny, Stalker, and even SCP: 5K tbh
Those aren't all tac shooters though lol
@@orionizaqt read the video title
@@koppy82 fair enough, but he did say tac shooters I thought
@@orionizaqt yea but the list includes non tactical shooters FPS, so it'd make sense to add other non tactical shooter FPS games no?
Games from Chinese devs are all marred with heavy monitzation
And bluedrake can hardly make a decent game just with the community.
seeing star citizen on this list and not squad or squad 44 should be a crime
No Black One or Easy Red 2 on this list?
Damn, Body Cam is fun, deserved more than D in my opinion.
Agreed
Am I missing something? what's the thing with Hard Doorstop?
RUclipsr drama, bluedrake spread some shit and got his fanbase to help.
@@GrrumpyTank huh? What shit?
@@GrrumpyTank What? Mind elaborating a bit? I actually don't know what's supposedly going on
@TheRama2299 he might be talking about the concerns that bluedrake brought up with kernel lvl anticheat. And if so, those concerns were very valid, and I dont see why ppl would say otherwise
@@mieciotherock5131 I'm not going to get into the discussion on this one because, oh boy. But I will say, I didn't find anything Bluedrake brought up in his videos was wrong or out of place in the discussion on kernel level anti-cheat and the games that use it (I guess his specific problem game was just Delta Force but yeah) and the amount of bullshit and vitreol both communities plopped out, was gross honestly. When it got personal, I basically checked out. I just feel both of them do it for the "drama bait" and that's fine I guess, it's YT after all.
You mentioning PUBG reminded me of a round we played together when there was only TPP available and we absolutely destroyed everyone. Good times and I'm very happy to see how much your channel has grown since then. You deserve it, bigman !
It still hurts for me to see that WW3 not only is getting the side treatment, but being lower than BF 2042. At least the rest of the list is pretty solid, but I’d still wager that CS2 definitely doesn’t deserve to be that high, since it is riding the coat tails of CS:GO, along with pulling an Overwatch 2 by removing content from the game and people are still hyping it.
Point blank by the end bf2042 was probably a high c low b, but the fact it was battlefield, mixed with the bait trailers, the disappointment alone puts it at a d or f
The, mods are petty for throwing OHD in there 😂
Im liking how chill this video is. Thelist ain't bad either.
This is pretty fair and reasonable. ABI is above delta force for me personally. But I still give most of my time to hunt:showdown regardless.
Could’ve had squad, squad 44, reforger and rising storm 2 on the list for the sake of completeness too but nbd.
where would you put arma reforger?
Harsh doorstop got harsh treatment 😅
The only FPS games I play any more are BF1 BFV and HLL. the FPS space feels dead now.
Not bad, I feel like most of those games are exactly the same.
Respect to Tarkov for getting devs to move on from Battle Royal.
Respect to China for having good taste...
Respect to Battlebit for making Battlefield fans and influencers look like idiots....
I'd still put Battlebit in A tier. Keeping it in early access was an awful move but game doesn't lack pretty much anything in content or features. Movement, destruction, gunplay, teamplay features are still among the best in the genre. It is still fps game I play the most at the moment.
On the other hand, putting CS2 that high up is hillarious, considering it got much worse treatment when it comes to updates than battlebit - it got massive updates that removed old content, introduced a lot of technical issues, destroyed optimisation and ruined big parts of the game for casual players.
Bodycam turned garbage when they removed the ability to pick which weapons you could use.
4:56 love the silent switch there lol
The Unheard edition fiasco alone puts Tarkov in D tier, at best. Forget spitting in the face of their own fans. That was Nikita pulling his pants down and shitting in their mouth. You have to be actually insane to be on BSG's side after that whole situation. And that's not even getting into all the other shit that's wrong with the game.
i agree, how people still play the game to this day and support Nikita after this scummy bs is beyond me
Where's squad, squad 44, rising storm 2 and hunt showdown?
Problem with small Indies is often, they have great ideas but not the budget to create a solid base (let alone even basic marketing) that pulls enough attraction to further fund them. Thus they get stuck
as soon as they´re over the "bare bones" status and that´s that.
Are they biting more than they can chew? Maybe
The Finals: What about me man 😢
BigFry: Hahaha nahh man gfys
The Finals: 🥺😞
The Finals is definitely my newest favorite FPS. I wouldn't consider it a tactical FPS, more class based/sandbox strategy FPS. Win or lose it's fun regardless of outcome. The gameplay loop of the cash out and quick cash mode is addicting
Man, finally someone giving Delta Force credit, and doesn't act like BF fanboy crybaby. Can't believe people prefer to support terrible 70$ dollars, over a decent free game that even gives FREE stuff.
Yeah, it's kinda weird seeing BF content creator/players for some reason seeing df then proceed to praise and defend BF2042? (Not all of them ofc.) Like, if we compare 2042 at beta which is sold at full price to Delta Force current beta which is F2P it's night and day in terms of how stable the game is and how much bugs the game had.
2042 was almost as notorious as Cyberpunk 2077 when it launch the bugs was so bad it became a laughingstock.
Have spend a couple hours in Delta Force and so far I have not faced any bugs. My only complaints I have is on or two of the map not being my cup of tea in warfare.
@@itsarin2166 i honestly want a COD like tdm or smaller maps, and this game would be perfect for me, cuz i'm so tired of COD's terrible SBMM.
How tf did r6 get an A.
i get why anybody could simply dislike tarkov, its not a likable game, its punishing beyond belief and they only aim to make it more punishing... its like they intend to suck all the fun out of it. Besides that its overrun with cheaters and cheaters simply impact your experience far more in that than any other game... with all that said... aint no fucking way it lands in B, as a FPS it sets the standard in gun customization, tactical play not to mention outright gunplay and immersion... the sound only rivaled by games like squad (wait... where is squad?). I mean... i get it i really do but i just dont get it at the same time. Tark has its problems, we all know it but my god its an S tier FPS if there ever was one. I like ready or not but its not even close to the same standard, most missions are extremely brief and can be completed in short time, the AI is terrible, NPC's laughably jank, Gunplay average, half cooked DLC dropping months after release which many would agree was not really ready for release...
100% Tarkov and CS because of the impact on gaming as a whole are top S tier along with Arma. No matter what anyone says , you can’t deny how these games changed fps games as a whole. Tarkov to this day is one of a kind experience even tho it’s the hardest fps on the market and beyond cancer, nothing compares nor competes.
Tarkob is F D at best it's straight trash ppl been doing the same quests for literally 7 yrs and you mention the sound to be good in tarkov 😅😅😅 I take it you haven't played much
@@adamkkamyk7509lol
The Singleplayer/Coop mod (and other mods) bring it well into S tier for me. The Realism mod is also absolutely game changing.
S tier vid fry
Based af list tbh. Fully agree with everything. Siege and insurgency are easily my favorites for for tactical shooters, and I'd easily put Siege at S if not for Ubisoft being awful and all of the terrible goofy cosmetics. Both Insurgency and Sandstorm were pretty much peak for a shooter gameplay wise, with the near perfect blend of somewhat arcadey shooter mechanics with enough realism to feel grounded but also still play incredibly smooth. I do wish the gameplay and maps had bit more depth to them like siege does, but the games were amazing nonetheless and unfortunately never had playbase it needed to be mainstream like it ought to have been. I think I entirely agree with this whole list honestly, and I never do that lol
rainbow six raven shield still the best ever
Wow what a goated tier list template. what a great job
I respect the EFT opinion.I would put Ready or not to S too. Great video
I think the mod forgot Squad and Arma Reforger but overall great tier list!
PUBG literally has pictures of jackie chan in the map lol
I understand that you're not a Tarkov guy, but if there wasn't SPT, then i would completely agree with you. I know you are most towards PvP, so the FPS genre for you must be "online" to enjoy "with others", but the state of Tarkov because of cheaters and non-casual players is making the game unplayable. It is so ridiculous!
But since There is SPT, i'd put it between A and B.
Cheers.
I used to play Tarkov and haven’t gotten SPT, but your criticisms are very fair. Cheaters are annoying but the game is WAY too sweaty. I sometimes think about how I enjoyed Tarkov… then I remember why I stopped playing. However, I will say that SPT could be considered its own game
W for insurgency ❤
Ready Or Not dropped controller support finally and its great needs a few more tweaks but alot better now
Agree I only wish it had the extended granular leaning mechanic you can do with ALT A D on KBM
@ they got free lean with both sticks pushed in but yes the lean is alot like insurgency with control either way its a fame changer for controller players 🤟🤟
Battlebit's devs are making a huge update. They post updates in their discord. Its not abandoned. It was planned to release multiple times I think, but now its TBA I think.
Never let him cook again. The tiers or games themselves mean nothing apparently next to his personal opinions on what is going on behind the scenes.
A RUclipsr has personal opinions? That and more coming up at 6...
@@BigfryTV You put Battlebit at C at first because that game is abandoned even though this does not really say anything about the quality of the game design at all and when ranking Bodycam you just said it's bad and that's about it. Not very interesting and some pretty flimsy criteria for a tier list.
@@LightTrack- "You put Battlebit at C at first because that game is abandoned even though this does not really say anything about the quality of the game"
What would you give it instead?
A Tier for raking in a boatload of cash and then abandoning it without finishing it? The quality doesn't matter as much anymore if a game isn't being finished but the devs do have the ressources to finish it. D tier is absolutely fine for that, especially as it has the potential to get a higher ranking if the devs actually do finish it, or you know, a spot to go down if they don't.
There's no way you'd give it a higher rating after they not only made money on the game but also on the supporter pack in addition and run off, lol
@@Unknown_Genius BattleBit itself while the servers were filled was easily an A tier game. It ran on practically every computer and the servers worked just fine. The game was a ton of fun. People still talk about it because everyone hates the devs throwing away such a well made game over just calling it a day when the money rolled in.
Like i said, the tiers mean nothing because there is no set criteria. I can also put Fortnite in F tier if i'm enough of a macho man to not play that kiddie game and instead call everything coming from it "cringe". Who cares about game design anyway?
@@LightTrack- Yeah, it was an A tier game - the circumstances now are however what puts it into D tier and potentially could end up in F tier.
Forgot to put Shatterline at the bottom 😂
As long as you put 2 of my favorite fps games (Insurgency and Ready or Not) as S tier I see no issue with this list 😂
EFT being anything but F is kinda... offputting.
The Wiggle that Killed it, and then the whole Singleplayer locked behind a huge paywall, when you already paid for the game is insane.
@@NimbleTurkicPushernew wipe 😅😅 enjoy doing the same quests again straight trash
@NimbleTurkicPusher yh after about the 5th wipe you realise the game is ass
What about Arma Reforger? Are you actually playing it these day's? It seems to be picking up bigfry time.
And the other big one that's missing is squad.
Pretty good rankings there. For the ones that were meant to be there also I'd give:
Squad: A
Deadside: C-
SCUM: C
Agree with the list overall, I think Delta Force is a low B or high C because it's a goofy hero shooter, some classes slide some don't, limited grenades and kit options, 2042 feels better movement wise...I think Squad should be on there as a C and ARMA Reforger a high A or S tier, it's pretty solid.
Great video! Love the memories of most of these games!
No way caliber is S,A,B, or C tier. Maybe D, the movement and lack of it makes it a D tier.
Love the S tier of ARMA and Insurgency. I would add ABI, R6S, Tarkov and PUBG, personally.
Ready or Not is A tier for me.
Delta Force is fun but to easy imo. It’s definitely not better than ABI.
I’m so on the fence with Ghost Recon and BF. Used to love the franchises and what they could actually pull off in regards to PvP with the amount of talent they have.
Battle bit is just not for me. I rather play BF.
This has been a Long time Coming
Glad to see Insurgency: Sandstorm was ranked an S. I recently just jumped back into it after a few years hiatus from it, nice to see some of the updates and added crossplay now. It's honestly unmatched when it comes to just jumping in a match online and playing a few games. It was nice to hear about Fry's updated opinions on some of the games in the tier list, great video
can i have the link of this site ?
Any suggestions on COD multiplayer alternatives ( first person shooter only) that is Cross platform. I was never a FPS gamer until my Girlfriend who is a COD fiend got me in to playing Cold War and now I enjoy FPS games. But COD is wearing thin on her now and she has been playing since world at war and Black Ops is her favorite COD series. I know there are some good games out there but the ones I can think of are 3rd person/ over the shoulder type shooters which she just doesn't like. So lookin for some good fast paced HCTDM style cross platform alternatives out there. Thanks in advance!
Great video
And there is me playing UT99 and UT2004 xD
Great video! I agree with most of your picks except Star Citizen. It’s a solid C for me. It’s been getting pretty big updates fairly consistently and the gunplay feels much better these days! Also, you should DEFINITELY do a “Battlebit What Happened?” video! Love to hear the story on what’s going on.
That EFT ranking is wild 😂
isn't eft super tactical lol ?
@@Pentaground tbh that's what I thought till I started to realized most of game consists entirely on shooting people in the legs until you have like a gazillion roubles and then you can afford the one and only type of ammo for your gun that's competent, and then it's the same cycle.
There's no point in playing the game as it's meant to, it's either leg meta or the most expensive ammo meta, no middle point. That said I don't think it's a bad game, it's just not enjoyable
@@TheRama2299they finally had an answer to leg meta and low pen ammo with the realistic armour plate hitbox update, but then streamers complained and they changed it back to be more like the original armour zones.
yea lol no way its lower than arena breakout/grey zone warfare
Love him talking about "leg meta" and "spreadsheets," bro just boot the game up and give it an honest try. 🤣 I personally play tarkov when I want a slow, tactical, and usually solo experience. Being able to take advantage of movement, position, and sound often leaves me feeling like a badass. I wouldn't even call myself a "good" player, just average.
I need to play more FPS games. Seriously, I only know like 5 games on the list
Seems like a ranking I would choose too. I'm a die hard fan of Battlefield but man DICE really destroyed it's reputation. BF 2042 isn't a Battlefield game. it deserves that spot.
For Tarkov, I have to agree with you! I hate the inventory simulator, the insane amount of loot, the hideout, the skill attributes, the long loading times. but if you take that away, the gunplay on Tarkov, and the flexibility of weapon customizations destorys all of the games in the list, I even think it's better than Insurgency Sandstorm.
My perfect game would be Tarkov without the stuff I mentioned, and with same gameplay loop as Hunt Showdown.
Good video bigfry, more variety like this is good.
*snicker* I haven't played a SINGLE one of these 🤣
Somebody's gotta get you into Tarkov. It takes dedication to get into it but once you do its incredibly rewarding, more so than anything else I've played. Theres options too. PVE if you want to do the massive quest line. PVP if you want to rage. Arena for practice and quest rewards. Arena is now linked to main tarkov where you can transfer rewards to PVP stash. Heading for full release soon. 100k to 500k concurrent players depending where it is in wipe, steady for the last 7 years.
Are any of these shooting games on Xbox Series x??
Ready Or Not is the only one I I still play consistently and it is one of my absolute favorite online multiplayer games, with the other two being Hunt Showdown and Outlast Trials.
Ground branch is underrated
No, it's not underrated in any shape or form, it's exactly where it's supposed to be. It's been in development since i was in fucking middle school, I'm in my mid 20's now and yet it still feels like a clunky tech demo with nice weapon customization.
See I think Delta force sucks. The aiming and time to kill is completely off me and I get wrecked in it every single time.
Great take on Arena Breakout! But I do believe the game will be in a better spot if you ever do this list again. The Devs have been very humble and open to community feedback
Titanfall2 needed to be on this list, in S tier of course
Ik its old but where would you guys rank Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 on here?
of the entire list of games the only one's i've ever played are Hell Let Loose, Battlebit Remastered, Delta Force, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, Caliber, WW3, Battlefield 2042 and if have to put then in a list will be like this:
1.- Rainbow Six Siege
2.- Hell Let Loose
3.- Battlebit Remastered
4.-Delta Force
5.- CS: GO
The rest are pretty much forgettable for me
Heres a sleeper pick battlefield 1, man i loved that game. Many memories
Was waiting on the not sponsored hashtag when talking about r6 😂😂
I respect the respect you gave Tarkov. I main that shit so I’m biased but not enjoying it yourself while recognizing the impact it has was cool
What's the deal with ohd one ?
BigFry had drama with the lead dev of it, the latter accusing the former of not properly disclosing sponsorship with I think ABI it was.
@@Lenariet You left out that Bluedrake also didn't disclose being involved in other projects he hyped up on his channel in the past, whereas he attacked bigfry for not disclosing a sponsorship where he wasn't even sponsored when it released.
But it wondered me that it took that long, considering that Bluedrake had been annoying in the modding community for a long time by just re-linking everything solely through his website for extra revenue and specifically naming them differently on the side so people can't just bypass his free cash grabbing by directly going to moddb in case the website doesn't work for them or they use adblock.
How is body cam D?
RON IS FULLY S TIER!
I bought bodycam for zombies, played one round and immediately refunded it. I figured that the game just was not for me......... but maybe It wasn't just me.
It was mainly hyped because of its graphics.
I never understood why people wanted feverdream graphics with a "supposedly bodycam" feature that overall was just a normal FPS controller with junk and a lense effect.
I primarily want a game to be a game, not something that tries to look like real life and fails to do so, especially since any bugs are just non acceptable on such graphics as they kill the experience
If you put health bars over enemies in Tarkov, you could call it Division 3 and slap Ubisofts logo on it. And then every six months or so, Ubisoft gets hacked and you have to start a new account to grind out all over again. It’s the only game I ever realized I legitimately hate playing. The moment-to-moment gameplay just isn’t fun. Now that there are other extraction shooters, it’s easy to realize that Tarkov is just a clunky walking simulator with guns. I just wish it hadn’t taken almost 3000 hrs to realize that. If you love tarkov, that’s awesome. But relative to other games, there is nothing to show for your dedication.. other than your ever-increasing hour counter.
How did motherland improve ghost recon?
I would technically argue Immersive Mode improved Ghost Recon. I know it's not fair to mention mods, but there are some fantastic mods for Breakpoint that aren't just cosmetic ports
Are any of these games on Xbox Series X??
You say “S” tier is reserved for games that shaped the industry then put Tarkov in the middle😂😂😂😂 Tarkov has been the mold all game devs have been trying to copy and breaking themselves over for years
It's mostly the unsuccessful indie titles. You don't see triple A games going full Tarkov like Arena Breakout did, it's the only game that can be compared to Tarkov because it's a literal Tarkov carbon copy.
If that was the case, then all extraction shooters are trying to copy The Division's dark zone experience
@@TheRama2299the division 😢 so heartbroken they cancelled the development on the newer one. One game i was really excited for and telling people about, but that didnt age well lmao
@@TheRama2299 didnt call of duty try something like eft in mw2 or mw3 and it failed miserably and they had to remove it ?
@ call of duty and battlefield each tried a Tarkov style extraction looter shooter and failed horribly
Totally agree man, every other game wishes they had what Tarkov does, despite all of the bugs, cheaters and misfires around monetisation. In years to come we will look back at Tarkov and lament the fact that we didn't appreciate it more as a community!
Valorant = Smurfland , CS2 = RUSKIE
Insurgency Sandstorm leaving gamepass in January 15th broke my heart ;( my 330 level character will be gone now and ı'll just have my lvl 22 steam character without any of those cool outfits. ohh well still love Insurgency to hell and back though, perfect blend between realistic gameplay and join a match and go type that lots of other arcadey shooters have.
Bodycam is fun, especially the zombies mode but the game is just lacking content and has no gameplay loop sadly.
Forgetting to rank Squad and Arma reforger is crazy...
Good video, but bro: Squad and Hunt?!
I never made the list!
Seeing that he gets payed to talk positively about games, I just can’t know if he actually is truthful
Hm, I´d have put Breakpoint at C and Wildlands at B personally. But I´d mostly agree with your reasoning for this list :)

No hunt showdown? :(
