As in title, my father is an American nomad, and he just recently got a spot with good internet signal for a few months.
He hasn’t really played in years, and the last game he really enjoyed was Warface and Novalogic’s Joint Operations: Combined Arms.
There is a bit of a twist though, his vision certainly isn’t what it used to be, so whatever game I suggest needs accessibility options galore.
I found a really good “singleplayer only” experience in Ravenfield and the style lends itself very well to my father’s limited vision.
Is there something like Ravenfield but with a well supported online component? Perhaps Battlebit: Remastered is pretty close?
EDIT: I suppose the genre is better described a “mil-sim” than “tactical shooter”.
UPDATE: Someone recommended the latest Insurgency game. After realizing my father had over 1K hours in the previous Insurgency game I realized that this was the game to get. Turns out it was a good choice! That’s where most of my father’s online buddies ended up! Thanks all! Feel free to keep recommending things, but we already seem to have a winner!
Can not recommend Squad enough.
There’s a lot of jank, but the charm and community make up for it. Just be aware that there’s a fairly decent sized learning curve, and it’s pretty badly unoptimized.
It’s my most played game by a good bit. Nothing quite scratches the same itch
