Death of the FPS

In my opinion halo ce was the pinacle of action fp shooters, halo 2 was a step backwards and halo 3 copies ce adding a few bits and pieces.Halo 3 is a game released to late it belongs on the old xbox where it may still have beenworth playing.I think the action fps is dead and the only way forward is realistic fps like CoD and GRAW or third person shooters like gears which seem to have more to offer.

what do you think

Just incase i didnt make it clear i loved halo ce and it still is one of the greatest games of all time i am not halo bashing

No it isnt,Shooting things is the least useful form of combat in that game. I also disagree this this threads title.

bioshock was decent not great and what made it good was the story and clever use of bio weapons the gun play was sub par with the level of gameplay today

Half Life 2 FTW!!!!

As a Shooter Fanboy

I have played pretty much ever shooter, in fact all of em.

From a vet's word of mouth, they can only get better

Portal, Call of Duty 4, Turok, Warhound, Battlefield Bad Company, Left 4 Dead

In fact Battlefield: Bad Comapny is about to revolutionize the FPS all over again

It's like mercenaries, Black, Battlefield 2 and Rainbow Six plus sugar and spice

with 300 million is sale for Halo 3 the first weekand hugh sales for Bioshock and i am sure COD 4 will have a big big payday it's first week i would dare to say that FPS will be around for as long as the Xbox360 and PS3 and main stream system so in short a long long time

Counter Strike on Xbox Live, would be insane. Discuss:Bio_Sm0g

It wasn't insane when I played it on Xbox Live about 4 years ago.

I think the TC is talking more about Arcade Shooters. BF (at least the PC version) is definately not an arcade shooter.

lol at first i thought it said 3 million and i was about to defend him and then i looked at it again and then i was like WTF 300? lol its probaley 300 million in $ sales now.

~chokes on fruit~ Halo 3 sold nowhere NEAR 300 million copies.

He was talking about $ not actually copies sold. Halo 3 broke entertain records for making more money within the first 24 hours then any other entertainment product. It even beat Spiderman 3 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Umm, plasmids were useless in bioshock combat, not the guns...

Buckshot was outrageous

Are you saying halo is better than those games?

and again action shooters is waht we are discussing so out goes GRAW, RB6, CoD 2 and 4 and portal

[QUOTE="Kaine666_2"]dude wtf? bioshock excellent action FPSimtiyaz786

Nope, it was great. The reviews and majority of gamers disagree with you.

In my opinion halo ce was the pinacle of action fp shooters, halo 2 was a step backwards and halo 3 copies ce adding a few bits and pieces.Halo 3 is a game released to late it belongs on the old xbox where it may still have beenworth playing.I think the action fps is dead and the only way forward is realistic fps like CoD and GRAW or third person shooters like gears which seem to have more to offer.

what do you think

Just incase i didnt make it clear i loved halo ce and it still is one of the greatest games of all time i am not halo bashing

imtiyaz786

Action fps dead? Are you fricken kidding me?! 1,400,000 unique players per day says not!

As for halo 3 being better on the old xbox... umm... wtf?! thats all I have to say to that! I dont' understand that statement at all!

Are you saying halo is better than those games?

and again action shooters is waht we are discussing so out goes GRAW, RB6, CoD 2 and 4 and portal

imtiyaz786

COD2 and COD4 are almost completely action shooters... There is not that much strategy involved! Its just run and gun! And I can't get enough of it! Along with millions of other people! You are just plain talking out of your arse now!

Erm, I don't know about you but I spent more time on my belly in CoD 2 and the CoD 4 beta than I ever did in... wait, you can't go prone in Halo.

So really all your saying is that you like realistic shooters more... You know those games were you go down in 2-3 hits and it emphasises strategy and using great team tactics right? Well i can say that in most of the games i have played that try to be realistic like that... it isn't anything like that (besides going down in 2-3 hits). In counter-strike (not the most realistic, but when yuo compare it to Halo it is) people would kill an 8 person team by themselves. I have never played a game of Ghost Recon that ever ended up with our team forming strategies and what not and what it really came down was the sniper hidden in a bush that gunned down 3-6 guys. Now you may say that is realistic, but can't we do that in Halo 3?

Now you say that Halo has went down over the years and has become worse. I ask you how? How can a game that never changed its formula get worse? It doesn't. It is more that you EXPECT more and WANT more and when that may not happen (for me it has) you dislike the end product.

I'm not saying Halo 3 is the best game in the world, but in all honesty how can you dislike a game when you liked the almost exact same game back in 2001? Its like the people that said they hate Halo 3s game and then after 5 minutes they said it plays exactly like Halo 2 and thats why they didn't like that game. Honstly did you think the game was going to be completely revamped in 3 years? If you didn't like the 1st game then there is a great chance you won't like the next one.

Now that doesn't work the other way. If you like the 1st there is a 50-50 chance you won't like the 2nd one. The main reason is because you get high expectations and with the Halo series they are some of the most unreachable expectations for a game.

You say you think Halo has gotten worse when it doesn't change its formula, yet you think other franchises are getting better when they don't change their formula either.

Congrats man! I was top 300 in kills in COD4 with a 2.00 kill/death ratio and I didn't camp!
