Tactical Shooters? (feddit.org)

I'm trying to move away from service-based gaming, and I only really play two games, so that shouldn't bee too hard. I've found Terraria on GOG, but I'm trying to find a replacement for Counter Strike. Are there any good tactical shooters that don't require an account on an online service like Steam or Ubisoft? If you can't think of any tactical shooters, what about non-Quake-likes (like Xonotic)? I'm not a huge fan of movement shooters.

I don't think you'll find a replacement because the distinguishing feature for CS is that it's a service game that you can play online with other people, any game that is not a service game will not be the same, because the single player campaign will be finite and playing against bots gets boring very fast. But that's okay, as far as service based gaming goes CS is not bad, it doesn't require payment and at least last time I checked the micro transactions were all cosmetics so no pay to win either.
