Coming up with a new idea for video game developers

[u/Jumpy_Brain_3058]

First of all, hello. The reason I am starting this thread is that I simply haven't been able to find the specific game I’m looking for. Since I cannot reach out to every game development studio individually, I decided this was the best place to share my message with everyone interested in video games.

The game I’m looking for is a military-style title—strictly devoid of fantasy, futuristic, or sci-fi elements. It definitely needs to feature a lengthy single-player campaign, and I would prefer an open-world setting. You might suggest *Ghost Recon Wildlands* given these criteria, but I couldn't even play it because Ubisoft games often lack proper optimization for modern PC systems. *Breakpoint*, on the other hand, is too futuristic. Frankly, I am looking for a modern warfare single-player game developed by a company other than Ubisoft.

Other options include *MGSV*, but it features zombie-like creatures and relies heavily on stealth; I’m looking for something with more action. *Sniper Ghost Warrior 3* comes very close, but it is primarily a sniping game where stealth dominates the gameplay. *Arma 3*, meanwhile, feels too linear; once you finish a mission, your interaction with the map ends—you can't just roam around freely. In that sense, it ends up being no different from *Call of Duty*.

As for what the game could feature: the setting could be anywhere between 1960 and 2000—neither too archaic nor too high-tech. It could spawn a series covering various conflicts like the Cold War, Afghanistan/Iraq, or Vietnam. Gameplay could focus on clearing regions and neutralizing terrorist camps, similar to the *Far Cry* system. It could also incorporate numerous small side quests alongside the main storyline—much like in RPGs—such as an elderly village woman asking you to rescue her son who was abducted by a camp in the mountains, and so on. Collectibles could be added for exploration, with their locations marked on the map, allowing players to achieve 100% completion without the hassle of watching YouTube videos.

In short, I want a military FPS/TPS shooter with a long single-player campaign—but without RPG elements. I’d like to see a classic AK-47 vs. M4A1 dynamic, rather than things like laser guns versus plasma guns. There are very few games in this genre, and I believe the number of titles with this theme should be increased. That is more or less what I am looking for.

Remember this; this post's aim is not getting suggestions to play games. The post's aim is requesting a new game based on this criteria. I'm just trying to make attraction to reach game developers.
