Borderlands 2 maybe? Get some friends and that game can become a blast, although it’s not quite a pvp experience. Black Squad on steam is a f2p not p2w fps, maybe look into that? And also Left for Dead 2 is great.
You could try ironsight, its f2p that plays like Black ops 2 and you could debate if its p2w or not but you get plenty of rewards and if you can get new guns frequently enough to where I would say its not p2w enough to kill the experience of a new game
Can't get more skill based than arena shooters. I've seen some weird stuff in Quake Champions, but you can't go wrong with Quake Live or Xonotic or Warsow, but they're probably all dead.
Here's My Recommendation :
- DOOM
- Quake Champions
- COD BO4
- Battlefield V
Well They Are Greatest Game I Ever Play cannot wait for The Campaign for BF V
PLAY DOOM. You play as a VERY ANGRY MAN that PUNCHES DEMONS IN THE FUCKING FACE And you RIP THEIR LIMBS OFF AND SLAP THE SHIT OUTTA THEM WITH IT There ain't no stamina or, hiding behind cover non-sense. You just run out there, and SHOOT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING YOU SEE to the world's most BADASS metal soundtrack.
It's made by the same guys that made the original DOOM too so this is da real D00MB
There's a f2p steam game called BLOCKPOST, its a minecraft-looking fps game that isnt too p2w. You can get cases and keys from quests and that's how you get more guns. However the community is pretty boring and when it isn't its just cancer/toxic. Fun game tho 7/10 if not for lag and me not being the best player in the game
When you want to play a skill requiring game I can only think of Arma 3. Its tactical and not a run and game from all the games I can think of it has the most realistic experience. But since you played Arma allready i don´t think there is anything t top the list
You can try Special Force 2 - S.K.I.L.L or known in other countries as Soldier Front 2. Don't know if it's still popular in other countries but here in my country, it is.
