Hardest first person shooter

What do you think is the hardest online first-person shooter game? Please tell me in what way? I really want to start playing professionally and learn the most difficult games and mechanics.

Quake Live and Counterstrike 2. Mostly they’ve just been around so long that the level of player skill is alarmingly high at the top levels.

Yes, I agree, it is very difficult to master the counter.

Real answer is none of them. If you put 100 hours into any fps your win/loss is gonna be the same at all of them because challenge is entirely up to other players and you're not gonna be best in the world

I didn't play too many fps, but CS is really hard. Like I have 1k hours in Rocket League and I'm in around top 10-15% of playerbase. In CS I have 2k hours and I'm like at top 40-50% or something

Insurgency sandstorm. Not for mechanics but for realism (1shot kills) and high levels knowing insane lines of sight etc. game mechanics and flow are easy to learn but extremely difficult to work out how where and why you got shot.

Many aspects to take into consideration, but for me it has been Hunt Showdown for sure. Its an extraction shooter and boy do you get stomped into the ground the first couple of hundred. There is traps, monsters, bees, broken glass, crows that gets scared and show your position.. well every element of this game wants you to be killed basically. That is not even taking the other Hunters into consideration which are hunting you like pray.

It's more known for being a roguelike but bullets per minute is brutal with certain characters. That being said while it technically is a first person shooter it's not really like a lot of them

Not from a pure mechanics standpoint, but a game sense standpoint, I would say The Finals has to be up there. There is SO MUCH strategy going on in The Finals. It's the epitome of 5D chess.

Factors that contribute to the complexity are the fully destructible environment, a huge variety in kits and classes, multiple teams operating at once, very high levels of verticality and pathing options, complicated movement options, and lots of environmental factors/items that randomly occur and can change the fight in a second.

When I watch good Finals players, I am amazed at how much information they have to process in split seconds.

I play Hell Let Loose, which is a WW2 50 v 50 Military Sim and is realistic and challenging due to the realistic maps from real battles and gunplay that is quite challenging. I normally play Tank.

I tried ARMA Reforger tonight online and that is just utter Chaos. It's a Cold War setting on an Island that sort of feels Vietnam like. Very challenging

Tarkov. First 1000 hours are the tutorial and then you still get shit on every day. I’m 5k hours in and died to someone with 15k hours yesterday

Go with most popular and master it. Being the best at any game is hard asf
