As in title, my father is an American nomad, and he just recently got a spot with good internet signal for a few months.
He hasn’t really played in years, and the last game he really enjoyed was Warface and Novalogic’s Joint Operations: Combined Arms.
There is a bit of a twist though, his vision certainly isn’t what it used to be, so whatever game I suggest needs accessibility options galore.
I found a really good “singleplayer only” experience in Ravenfield and the style lends itself very well to my father’s limited vision.
Is there something like Ravenfield but with a well supported online component? Perhaps Battlebit: Remastered is pretty close?
EDIT: I suppose the genre is better described a “mil-sim” than “tactical shooter”.
UPDATE: Someone recommended the latest Insurgency game. After realizing my father had over 1K hours in the previous Insurgency game I realized that this was the game to get. Turns out it was a good choice! That’s where most of my father’s online buddies ended up! Thanks all! Feel free to keep recommending things, but we already seem to have a winner!
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I highly recommend Squad. It’s a solid middle ground between Battlefield and ARMA. The community aspect behind it makes it great and communication is key to success.
Can not recommend Squad enough.
There’s a lot of jank, but the charm and community make up for it. Just be aware that there’s a fairly decent sized learning curve, and it’s pretty badly unoptimized.
It’s my most played game by a good bit. Nothing quite scratches the same itch
And if he had any problems seeing enemies (I’m not sure if it has accessibility options?) he might be able to try Project Reality for free, it’s older so it had less happening on screen graphically
