Its a shame tho, because for every brilliant original FPS, you're gonna get 100 cookie cutter, copy and paste, rip-off games from lazy devs who might tweak a few things here and there but ultimately come out with the same game...

I think that people throw that "lazy dev" term around way too much.
What's worse? Devs that are too lazy to think up an idea, or devs that can't come up with an original idea no matter how much they try.Both are as bad as eachother, and copy'n'pasting should not be an option in either case. Why risk contributing in the death of AN ENTIRE MEDIUM through bombarding it with trashby releasing a half-baked, generic Sci-Fi FPS that will flop and recieve mediocre scores?
On this same note, I'd like to add that self-plagarism is also not acceptable (think Treyarch and Infinity Ward with CoD).
They take no skill to play? I disagree with that statement.
Sky-
If they took no skill to play as the TC says, than I'm sure he'd be able to beat someone from Str8 Rippin ;)
Dont confuse easy to play and hard to master with taking no skill. MW2 takes no skill. I'd be able to take a two year break from this game and not suffer any hits skill wise. It could even be your first time playing, and I'll gaurantee that you'll actually do as well as everyone else.
[QUOTE="SLUSHiNaToR"]I agree.. I got really fed up with fps games due to the fact its nothing new.. the stories put a different twist to the ones you said above. You hit the horde gametype on the head.. the A.I isn't very smart they just get progressively stronger.. I do have to give Vegas props tho.. the terrorists in that game were somewhat clever. they would try to flank you from the back if you weren't careful, but sometimes they were pretty stupid as well. Online is just like you said too.. People care more for there k/d than w/l ratio. To an extent, I kind of wish online shooters went back to there roots with straight up rules like Unreal Tournament 2004, or Call of Duty 2... Those games are insanely fun and tho simplistic... I don't know why people keep on trying to copy Vegas (yes vegas had unlockable stuff before cod4 ever did..) But I guess there just copying them (like you said) cause games like cod4 were smash hits. Now you see every shooter nowadays give you perks and crap.. I hate it. SLUSHiNaToR
We cant even do bland and generic right :lol: look at Bad Company 2's SP strange.. I didn't even mention Bad Company 2.. at all. But I agree BC'2's single player was totally nothing new what so ever. You started the post with, "I agree...FPS games due to the fact that nothing is new" and I'm pointing out that devs cant even copy eachother well.
