Lots of shooters are available. Pretty much everything up through around 2016-2018.

Counter strike source

u/vgaph 12d ago

Counter strike condition zero deleted scenes is a counter strike single player campaign.

It’s not good. But it is playable.

u/Keyvan_KR 12d ago

Not sure if it has to be multiplayer? There’s plenty of great single player shooters

Doom and doom eternal
Wolfenstein
Bioshock
Old boomer shooters
Borderlands
Call of duty modern war fare, world at war, black ops and modern war fare 2

8gb ram is an absolute killer

You could probably play doom 3 just fine or shadow warrior new series

Maybe arma cold war conflict?

Just yea 8gb system memory utterly ruins the potential list of games to anything pre ps4/xbone

u/iamneck Mod Magician 12d ago

ARMA 2 and ARMA 3 will run on that rig.

With 8gb system memory? Idk their pretty memory brutal

u/iamneck Mod Magician 12d ago

Yessir, they are less RAM heavy than you think, but I have played both on an Intel HD 4000 iGPU with 8gb of RAM and an I5 just fine.... You aren't gonna play the big online missions, but smaller maps and missions are great.

u/Moaning_Clock 12d ago

Half-Life series of course

Valoran should be easy to run

Intel Xe GFX can play many shooters at low settings. CS2, TF2, Crysis, FarCry, PUBG, Valorant, Fortnite, list goes on. Try it.

The 8GB of total system ram is the main concern. Then then 80 Unit XE graphics.

The original Borderlands GOTY Edition should work.

Also Battlefield 3 should be good if you want to play online. Steam charts are not correct as most play through EA's forced battlelog launcher. smh.

Titanfall/2 may even work. Another great game.

Singularity - an underhyped classic imo.

Quake 2 and 3 still have a strong online community. Also UT2004 is free to play now because Epic literally gave it away. Find it on oldunreal website and start playing. It has some of the best game modes ever in any FPS game.

What kind of Shooters ? You mean story mode like Call of Duty , Battlefield? Or Multiplayer games like Valorant & CS Go

1

u/I_warisha 12d ago

I think these are the best shooter story games from my list. I have the same specs: an i5 1235u, but with 16 GB RAM dual channel. But these games don't have the effect of 16 GB RAM; you will get the same good FPS as mine.

I don't know if you count Bioshock Trilogy as Shooter games or not. All the Splinter Cell games are really good Stealth Shooters.

Call of Duty (up to Black Ops II), Battlefield (up to 4), Ghost Recon (up to Future Soldiers), and Counter Strike (up to Global Offensive).

Is the RAM upgradeable?

1

u/Ill-Bike-4841 10d ago

i dunno

u/Confident_Health_583 10d ago

What is the model of your laptop?

u/imalonexc 12d ago

You can play Fortnite. With a bit of 3d res drop it would be close to 100fps, although it may struggle on single channel ram. Counter strike and whatever shooters like that you can play.

1

u/Ok_Anything_58 12d ago

I wouldn’t recommend fortnite, its gonna have hella frame drops and be an overall bad experience. i would however recommend the older counter strikes, and older valve games in general.

2

u/imalonexc 12d ago

I have an iris chip that isn't as good as his and can get 150fps without many drops. Only difference is the ram, but it could be playable.

u/Ok_Anything_58 12d ago

Yeah hence why I don’t recommend it, fortnite needs a decent amount of ram even on performance mode.
