The release of Call of Duty 4 on Xbox One via backwards compatibility shouldn't come as much of a shock as it has.
FPS (First Person Shooters) have become a staple of a gamer's healthy diet. But where did it all begin?
The minimal effort of any genre is being FPV. And shooter is even less. As example COD, Skyrim, Destiny etc. They are pure casual and flat. Of course there are exception like Doom and Bioshock. But in general not as decent.
It became the default and began to foster safety and laziness. The FPS genre probably peaked before the late 00s and has been mostly repetitive since.
For me, early Halo represented the last stand of the arena shooter. With the online becoming more competitively focused, I doubt that's going to continue.
It would be great to see iD and Epic bring Quake and UT to consoles, even if it's in a FTP capacity and in beta.
I miss arena shooters, The first DooM had a brilliant death match multiplayer. Why it wasn't carried into Eternal I have no idea!
Games like DooM and arena shooters are the key to making FPS great again. Although I'm not going to lie, I'm biased as hell for Halo!
Andrew says: "The intrinsic values of COD are the following: memorable campaigns, meticulous multiplayer marathons, and lobbies populated by screaming 12-year-old kids that think puberty is the evolved form of Jigglypuff."
What makes a game eligible for such a prestigious honor as being seen as the greatest of all time? There are four criteria: the game must be widely recognized and remembered, it must exhibit longevity (remaining popular over time), it must enjoy international recognition and success, and it must have exerted significant influence on other games or the industry generally. Some historic titles that deserve credit that aren't just Mario and Sonic.
Fallout 76 should be on the list for quickest price drop, $59.99 at launch to $35 ten days later.
I would rather they made MW2 BC.
We already have the Remaster of COD4
Mw2 mw2 mw2 mw2 mw2 bring it.
