Shooters: Realism or "Far Out"?

When you play a shooter game, do you find yourself enjoying a more sci-fi game like Halo or a more realistic one like Call of Duty? I've been playing a bit of both recently and I find myself liking one more depending on my mood. Sometimes I'd rather play a faster, more realistic title like CoD but sometimes there's nothing more fun than sticking someone with a plasma grenade or popping them with a laser.

What's your preference?

I'll kick them in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down and then I'll be gone back into darkness, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone... who would walk with me?

Friends don't let friends play shooters with force fields and moon boots.

I tried Halo 3. I found it highly impressive on a design and technological level, but it's not my gameplay cup of tea.

That said, give me realism, and lots of it. Including a "Don't get gangrene/swamp foot" mini-game.

I guess I don't have a preference for weapons... I'm just as happy with Battlefront's blasters as I am with Battlefield's AK. I get annoyed when a bitch with a light-sabre cuts me in half, but I also really hate artillery. Really far out stuff like magical powers in shooters, I avoid like the plague. But really realistic games with weapon jams and the like, I can't stand either.

I have no preference.

I love realism so much more when it comes down to it. Call of Duty (on hardcore) is the shit. But at the same time I love halo and used to play it all the time. So i don't dislike either.

Realistic style games are my genre, or at least a game where I can feel part of the story.

Even when I play Skate 2 unless I'm completing a high level challenge, I'm usually going around in the streets doing pretty realistic lines rather than the most ridiculous shit you've seen.
