I am grateful that I am capable of enjoying pretty much all FPS games and not going onto the internet and whining incessantly about how this game or that has ruined the genre.

I still go on the internet and whine incessantly just not about that.

killing floor starts out looking like it has a lot of potential and then it's time to weld 4505400 doors and kill a million stealth zombies with specific weapons to unlock stuff you'll need to play the fun difficulties

Quake 1 is one of the only single player FPSes I enjoyed playing through though I would not recommend the mission packs unless you want to see a huge 1996 video game tapestry of Poseidon in one of the levels.

Oh yeah the singleplayer's good too. I liked Quake 2 as well. Doom is probably still the best singleplayer FPS experience overall though.

Hell, with mods, Doom multiplayer is pretty good too, though there's no cool movement tech like Quake since you can't jump.

The only other game worth a poo poo is CS so for mostly all other intensive purposes, FPS is dead.

If they just go for it with the modes they've been edging on in CoD where everyone has equal loadouts and poo poo, CoD would be about as close as it gets to the Other Decent FPS.

i would love CoD if
1. everyone had a lot more HP so it wasnt just a game of who started shooting first
2. there was more than 1-2 good maps a game

id also love if there were health packs and such instead of loving regenerating health but that will never ever go away now

Enjoy whatever you want, but multiplayer FPSes are dead and single player ones are on there last leg.

In BF4 you run around blowing poo poo up and mowing guys down and it's like being in a loving awesome action movie loving poo poo up with a squad full of your buddies.

But you don't have to run around looking for med packs every 10 seconds so it's poo poo, FPS games are dead.

BF4's single player is actually some pretty dumb fun

but BC1 is probably the best theyve ever done SP. didnt take itself seriously, open map design allowed for a lot of different ways to tackle every situation, tank boss fights. then BC2 came out and it was just loving call of duty

Eh, I don't really play FPS games for the single player anyways. A good campaign is cool but no matter how good it is there's no real reason to play through it more than once.

btw sorry about flipping a poo poo at you over smash bros. It was stupid.

Titanfall is fun on the PC because you get to jump around and run on walls and then you get a friendly giant robot to hug you into its chest

if the game had better map design and more interesting weapons on-foot it would have turned out to be a really good game but its only average.

there can be if it's like, fun and stuff. ive probably played jedi outcast over and over forever since it came out like 10+ years ago and not just the lightsaber bits. i played through BC1's SP more than once for sure.

BF4's SP has the right idea in that it actually has a score system, you get bonus points for headshots and multi-kills and poo poo and medals based on how well youre doing so theres a reason to actually replay it. seeing numbers when you kill poo poo is also really satisfying.

i don't like stuff like call of duty not because of the bland guns, but because it is actually a game of who shot first in a bland setting which is awful. using a fun gun like a flamethrower is an automatic SHOOT HERE TO GET KILL too

BF4 feels so fuckin dirty at this point and in hindsight I wish I hadn't gotten it. Origin sucks rear end and EA shouldn't get my money and it was so inexcusably broken for so long I mean god drat what a mess.
