Where the actual f*ck are the realistic shooters with great sound design?

SWAT 3/4, Fear, Black, MW2019 (stay far, far away from the sequels), Soldier of Fortune 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint (which all the casual and mmoshit turned off), all good options.

PC is the best place for these kinds of games I find. Squad and Ready or Not have amazing sound design and are very realistic.

Hell Let Loose is a good realistic shooter for console although this is WW2 so YMMV.

Edit: I forgot Insurgency Sandstorm. Absolutely fantastic realistic shooter with incredible sounds. Shooting within interiors is fucking terrifying.

it's truly a travesty what oculus did to onward after they bought it and basically turned it from an incredibly gritty realistic loud ass shooter with intensely realistic gun sounds to this corny little mobile game that sounds like pew pew pew nerf guns.
 
If you're looking for top notch FPS tactical shooter sound design across all consoles and PC, you can't beat Insurgency Sandstorm. The guns look, feel and sound real. The suppressors also sound correct.

Squad and Squad 44 are also outstanding. Incredible weapon handling and the audio sounds real.

Beneath these is Hell Let Loose and Rising Storm. Both are worthy of having fucking badass shootouts and have great sound design but are lesser quality than other tactical shooters in terms of audio design.

As far as the third person space, The Last of Us Part II can't be topped in terms of audio design and the quality of shootouts.
