Amen! The realism FPS needs to die and needs to die fast. It's ruined much of the genre for me as a whole. It doesn't help that other developers are running with the idea that putting out an amazing FPS gets you billions. I miss the days when we only have two realistic shooters and they were set in WW2 Medal of Honour and Call of duty.... 2Rusman said:Jackalb said:It's creation.You took the words right out of my mouth.Karim Saad said:Its existence.
Are people just now realizing that MW2 was a cheap excuse for an FPS?VelvetHorror said:With Black Ops only a couple weeks away, Modern Warfare 2 will likely be neglected in favor of its successor. With glitches and balancing issues galore, Modern Warfare has made 13 year olds squeak in happiness and dedicated CoD players cringe
I know of those, but those are the few. And I also mean any kind of non-war setting FPS. OR during some kind of war. I know Portal has nothing to do with war. Half-Life sorta does, what with fighting those aliens and what not. (I played the game, just forgot the names xD)ClassicJokester said:Half-Life? Maybe Portal. Both FPSs where you aren't a soldier.Josh Kurber said:I've come to realize. And it's slightly annoying. I am sure SOMEONE can come up with an original FPS game. The main character doesn't always have to be some kind of soldier.Chris^^ said:when making an FPS it's generally gunna have a war-ish theme.. just saying..Josh Kurber said:I am sick of seeing war games.

Thank you.Jackalb said:It's creation.
Cryostasis, Penumbra, The Darkness, Bioshock, Call of Cthulu, Serious Sam, The Ship and Mirror's Edge disagree with this statement.Chris^^ said:when making an FPS it's generally gunna have a war-ish theme.. just saying..Josh Kurber said:I am sick of seeing war games. They're all the same.

That, really.Irridium said:Have a beta.
So many problems MW2 had could have easily been found and fixed with a proper beta.
FUCK! I was gonna say that but in this way: "a really bad idea is acculy to make it."^^Karim Saad said:Its existence.
Wait wait wait wait!... Wait! Have you even played World at War?VelvetHorror said:Killstreaks in other games such as Call of Duty 4 and World at War are nowhere near as overpowered as the ones in Modern Warfare 2. In the upcoming Black Ops, killstreaks will be harder to get and will be less powerful. Kills resulting from them do not increase your killstreak, so it will take actual skill to get them.Ralen-Sharr said:exactly thisJackalb said:It's creation.
and I don't know why they thought killstreak rewards were a good idea.
Player A can already kill a lot of people without being killed in turn - so why give player A more tools to do it?
IMO this just widens the gap between the average and good players, and those who need a little help not only don't get it, but the guys that DON'T need help do.
This is the very reason I never even considered buying MW2, and won't consider any other game that gives killstreak rewards. If that means no more FPS games for me, so be it.
