I went absolutely ape at PC Gamer when they gave Ghost Recon Game of the Year over Max Payne. The absolutely lunacy.

Just FYI, I'm not posting these lists to steal anyone's thunder. We're talking about a very bountiful decade for first person shooters and a lot of games deserve a mention, for better or worse! So, 2002: America's Army Battlefield 1942 Command & Conquer: Renegade Global Operations (aka CS + TFC in one game. Teenage me spend two nights playing the hell out of the MP demo... and then I never heard from it again) Gore: Ultimate Soldier (we discussed this a couple months ago, I also only remember it because it had a MP demo) Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (had the honor of being the best video game that featured Henry Rollins until the release of Def Jam: Fight For NY in 2004) Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (PC) Medal of Honor: Frontline (consoles) Metroid Prime Mobile Forces No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way Red Faction II George Lucas Presents Star Wars: Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Serious Sam: The Second Encounter Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror (aka CS for Unreal Tournament, clearly Infogrames wanted a taste of that tactilol shooter money) TimeSplitters 2 (I played this at a friend's house a lot. The Snake mini-game, not the actual split-screen shooting  )Unreal Tournament 2003 (released on 1 October 2002, they were going for the EA Sports approach) Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 19:47 on May 3, 2020 |

I played such a huge amount of tactical ops, from one of the early mod versions to the retail release. Great mod imo. A bit less volatile compared to CS, so battles lasted a while longer, which I preferred. BF 1942, MoH:AA, Metroid Prime, JK2.. drat good games, especially for the time. fake edit: jesus Tactical Ops is still kicking, goddamn crazy people playing it ityool 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weeHGcf1xYA

I'd give anything (capping out at £30) for a remastered Metroid Prime on PC.

Only tactical shooter I ever played was Ghost Recon and it’s expansions. And it was a fantastic game. I remember looking in on that franchise a few years ago and being disappointed with where they took the series. Speaking of series, is there any online service that has all of the older Rainbow Six titles?

Tom Clancy games = Ubi = Uplay Browsing their store is a bitch because of the sheer amount of stuff for Rainbow Six: Siege, but it looks like they have: Rainbow Six Rainbow Six 3: Gold Edition also Rainbow Six: Lockdown and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 It's a very incomplete selection. They should let GOG handle Rogue Spear and all its expansions. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 20:58 on May 3, 2020 |

Metroid Prime can be played on Dolphin Emulator with M+KB plus up res. This video shows you how to install it and get it up and running. https://youtu.be/1YFIm-O_YhA

I want to say Signal Ops was an attempt at an indie tactical shooter but the result is an incredibly weird Team Fortress 2 meets Rainbow Six but you control every character simultaneously. It’s as weird and obtuse as it sounds.

Just finished slogging through Dark Dome, I'm really glad I'm using Final Doomer because that would have sucked even harder with vanilla weapons. I also apparently missed the page to do it on, this should have been one back. Edit: Eh, I guess the version I'm playing was released in 2002, I'm good.

One of my favorite aspects of Metroid Prime is how 98% of the soundtrack are all samples from mix CDs. Kenji Yamamoto just knew how to mix the hell out of some sound, man. What a soundtrack. Those metallic hits and alien whistles chef kiss

Metroid Prime feels like what I imagined future games would be back in the 80s. It's like it dropped in from an alternate universe where big budget games were still abstract and weird instead of becoming gradually more cinematic or cartoonist.

The motion controls implemented in the Prime Trilogy release always felt completely awful to me. Aiming is neat, but entirely unneeded for most of the game since enemies rarely have variable hitboxes. The lock-on system from the original lets you focus on movement while also having infinitely better beam/visor selection that doesn't interfere with combat. Prime 3 is even more egregious with the stupid slapped in motion control switches.

There was basically no time where I was like "oh, good aim glad I have this now" instead of "I really liked the simplicity of lock on to the foe then manage footwork"
