I'm considering running a campaign for my group that isn't fantasy. What's a good system that can support operator-as-fuck squad combat and CALLING TO THE NIGHT tier atmosphere? Preferably light sci-fi, a la early game pic related.

Gumshoe. Fate Accelerated. Whenever the system that underlies Blades in the Dark is released that would work.

I haven't played it myself but I often hear Ops and Tactics recommended on here, I'm pretty sure it was made by fa/tg/uys too.

It's free

GURPS has some books that could interest you.

>GURPS Tactical shooting
Essential tacticool rules and gear

>GURPS High-Tech
Even more gear choices allow for even more commando autism

>GURPS Ultra-Tech - sci-fi gear, has both ultra futuristic stuff but also the near future things that you are probably looking for

There is also the GURPS Action series that may or may not interest you, it goes for a more "cinematic" feel but still is fairly grounded.
Read it and decide for yourself if it fits what you are looking for.

Came to post basically this, GURPS is very good for this type of game.
If going full autism, I would also add Martial Arts (for new hit locations/more detailed bleeding rules/MCMAPS-style hand to hand military martial arts and etc.) and Technical Grappling (for full autism grappling, limb wrenching, pins, using someones tacvest loops as handholds and using them as a body shield, whatever).

As previous anon said though, Action series is good for keeping things fast paced and grounded (but still quite cinematic) if that's more the feel you're going for.

Strike! was made for XCOM.

It was playtested with an XCOM campaign, even, as far as I know.

If you want some alien-like xcom stuff, Monster Hunters 4: Applied Xenology would be a good one to have, too.

It has a fucking terrifying xenomorph/chryssalid hybrid in it.

How many of you go to /k/? I've always said GURPS is very much /k/'s rpg.
>>
>>51773747
I don't frequent /k/, although I do own several firearms. I usually do gritty fantasy, street-level supers or sci-fi stuff with GURPS though, despite recognizing the system's strengths for operators operating operationally, so I don't think I necessarily fit into that particular correlation.

Phoenix Command.

You know it's true.
>>
>>51773747
/k/ uses Phoenix Command. It is the best sim out there for this kind of thing. But it's autistic as all fuck.
>>
>>51771152
4e DnD
>>
>>51771152
Call of the Void, a branch of SoS (has a general here on /tg/, also a Kickstarter currently running, got funded in 24 hours). d10, lots of guns, pretty damn fast to run once you know how to run it. Good shit.
>>
Savage Worlds maybe?
>>
>>51771152
Phoenix Command.
GIT GUD
>>
What happened to that tacticool D&D homebrew?
>>
>>51774801
Which? There's like 20 million of them.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
