Am i the only one that things FPS campaigns are horrible?

Killzone 2 - lame until you got to the last stage to fight radec ( or rico )

Call of duty 4 - lame

Call of duty world at war - lame until the last cut scene with reznov

--------------------------------------------------------------

The only FPS campaigns i think this gen is

Bioshock ( just awesome )

Killzone was ehh ( god why isnt rico dead )

Bad company ( for its humor )

What happen to the fun campaigns to play like time splitters, 007, call of duty before online became its only decent feature.

I'm totally the opposite of you. I love FPS campaigns, and I think they offer some of the most compelling gameplay in video games today. It's unfortunate that FPS's are going away from the single-player experience to a more multiplayer based focus.

While I haven't played Killzone 2 (don't own a PS3), I agree that the Call of Duty games have extremely lame campaigns. I have no idea why everyone likes them so much, it's just so boring.

I don't think those games were "lame," but I do agree that some were a bit disappointing. World at War and Killzone 2 in particular.

Not all FPS campaigns suck.

  • Rainbow Six Vegas/Vegas 2
  • F.E.A.R
  • Bioshock
  • Half-Life Series
  • Doom 3
  • Bad Company
  • Call of duty 2-4(Never played 5)

There are more. Yes FPS games don't have epic RPG like campaigns but there are some really good ones out there.

I never got what was so great about half life 2's campaign. It's not bad, but I never got why people praise it so much. Bioshock on the other hand is IMO the best single player FPS.

I did liked KZ2's campaign. There have been some other games with an enjoyable campaign, like Bioshock, RFoM, FEAR, FEAR 2 (I liked it), and Condemned. I do agree on CoD4's campaign being lame though. After waiting almost two years to play it and hearing/reading how great it was, I was expecting a lot more than what it offers.

I've never heard a PC gamer say a new OS = a new platform. It means a new version of Directx but that's it. Consoles have generations because of the upgraded video cards and processors while PCs get those upgrades all the time so there aren't "Gens" like the consoles.

Crazy talk. I can't mention a lot of games FPS/TPS cuz we're on the PS3 board but what did you have against COD4 campaign? I thought it was great, Bioshock as well. Granted mostly I play shooters for the online but I'lldo thecampaign first to get used to the feel of the game, but some just keep you playing. Co-op definately helps but I like (good) campaign mode. So, TC did you do UC2 campaign or just play MP? Crazy talk.

Am i the only one that things FPS campaigns are horrible?

Killzone 2 - lame until you got to the last stage to fight radec ( or rico )

Call of duty 4 - lame

Call of duty world at war - lame until the last cut scene with reznov

--------------------------------------------------------------

The only FPS campaigns i think this gen is

Bioshock ( just awesome )

Killzone was ehh ( god why isnt rico dead )

Bad company ( for its humor )

What happen to the fun campaigns to play like time splitters, 007, call of duty before online became its only decent feature.

Javieralijandro

Yes....you're the only one that THINKS, (not things) that those campaigns are horrible. ;)

Both COD4 and WaW are amazing, top notch.

Killzone 2 campaign is great also, harder than COD4. And please don't bring the PC mention or comparison here...use system wars for that.

I think you might want to change your title to something along the lines of "Why are alot of FPS campaigns so bad" or something. Cause ALL of them are not bad.

R:FoM had a really cool campaign mode and when played split screen was even better. Also, I've played the COD4 campaign around 4 times. I liked it. It left a little to be desired but its short enough and has some level diversity so that it doesn't get monotonous. Also, not really an FPS but still a shooter, Army of Two was pretty cool, played that a couple of times, again simply very fun when played with a human partner. And not the best game, but Quantum of Solace had a decent campaign. I definitely wouldn't say it sucked. The weakest of the ones I mentioned, but still.

Hmm.

I've never played the COD4 or CODWAW campaigns but i really liked the KZ2 one the first time through. Second was average.

But there not as bad as your making it seem, in my opinion.
Timesplitters was good though but that was a sort of different gameplay type i thought, cause you had time powers and stuff.

I remember i fell in love with 1 of the timesplitters.

AND WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE RICO!
Theres nothing wrong with him.

I like the campaign from both Resistance: Fall of Man (despite the dry storytelling) and Resistance 2 (despite a severe lack of depth in the story).

me too; it was short, but sweet.

but i must say that i share TC's sentiments toward all the FPS campaigns that he mentioned.

they were ok, but nothing that should be played more than once.

COD4 has one of the most well executed cinematic campaigns ever. W@W sucked. KZ2 was fun but story and dialogue were bad. (screw opinion, they need new talent as far as writers go) Lets be honest if your not into competitive MP nowadays "Your playing the wrong genre."

I disagree. Try The Orange Box, it's a great package of games, including Half Life 2. Modern Warfare had a gripping, intense story line.

I agree with you about KZ2. I've only done two levels of the Campaign whereas I've played 14 hours of Multiplayer. I liked the COD4 campaign though but World at War wasn't so good.

Wow haha you claim ALL fps campaigns are horrible and then go ahead and list some that are awesome. Before you post you should take a minute to think about what you want to type out for everyone to see and criticize. Do some research, you left out many many great games.

I like your excuse for Cod4 it really showed me how you feel about the game :roll:

Look im sorry but if anybody out there on this entire planet truely thinks Cod4 had a bad story, they need to stop playing FPS because Cod4 had a very well written and well executed story.

Did call of duty have too much drama in it for you? That MW campaign was one of the best FPS campaigns to come out in quite some time.

For the most part I find FPS campaigns to be pretty lame, but I really enjoyed Far Cry2 and Resistance 2.
