If you can convince your crew to try something new, there are some great FPS games nowadays. I've enjoyed those, though I haven't been able to put in anywhere near your number of hours.

- Squad

- Escape from Tarkov

- Rising Storm 2: Vietnam




Beauty with CoD is that you can turn it on, play for 10 minutes and then move on to other stuff in your life. None of those games (except maybe Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, I'm not familiar with that one) look like you'll be able to do so. CoD is essentially a arcade FPS, while the ones you listed are more on the "realistic" side of things.


Yep, this is what's kept my friends playing it for so long.

Tarkov looks great, but you need to plan. You can't hop on after a long day of work and realize you're too tired to play a good match.


BTW... sometime ago there were people on Forums convinced they got banned on EFT due to WSL and Virtualbox, as there were hacks using VMs. Worth take a look first.

EFT requires a huge amount of free time, it feels like a day job. I would consider that before putting time on that game. Its nothing like COD.


Never do multiplayer on Linux/WINE or on a VM.


+1 for Tarkov, its what CoD's new DMZ mode is a watered down imitation of.

I highly recommend single player mods/server emulators for EFT like Altered Escape, its a nice break from going up against meta geared super competitive players.


Squad is extremelly buggy and badly optimized though. Still my favorite game. Ever.
