If you really want to annoy the majority of FPS players, there's no need for convoluted schemes or going back to old formulas. You only have to do one step, one single definitive and final step.
Remove online play.
No more, no less.
... and then, rather suddenly, the world was a much happier place.

Sounds good, for the most part, although I do find some of your ideas to be questionable.
Clearly you haven't played a lot of Counter-Strike, where trying to spray with an assault rifle ends up with you shooting at the sky, thanks to the high recoil, and where an SMG can maw down an entire well-equipped team.
If by "versatility", you mean every player and their dog carrying a sniper rifle and an assault rifle or SMG, then yes, I suppose you're right.
The main reason why camping often isn't a legitimate strategy, is because if you're playing anything other than deathmatch, then you pretty much have to haul ass to an objective/bombsite/whatever, and don't have time to waste staying in one spot. Battlefield is an exception to this, thanks to the way respawn is implemented, and it can also be acceptable behaviour in Team Fortress 2, depending on the game-mode and class that you're playing.
hands down!
Wow, you must be really new to FPS.
And it rustles my jimmies how you think that this is "trolling". How about you actually search for it's meaning instead of using it for whatever you think it means?
Camping is only regarded as a "legitimate" (lol) strategy in modern FPS. Are you really that oblivious?
Crosshairs look ugly, I like to line up the sights but without zoom.

Because hipfire is so damned accurate.MammothBlade said:

Why would no MP piss off people? We all know that most games today have unnecessary online modes that only detract people from playing what they really want.The Abhorrent said:
And I never understood why inverted Y axis was the default option in some games. Who the hell wants to aim like they were flying a plane?TestECull said:
No, absolutely not. I don't know why people keep mentioning TF2. It's not some sort of class or team based game I'm talking about, nor does it have comic-style graphics. The weapons are nothing like those in TF2. When I say "antique", "obscure", or "imaginary" I'm talking weapons such as the Mosin-Nagant, the Sterling submachine gun, Type 99 LMG, Luger, 8 gauge shotguns which pack one hell of a punch, or sniper rifles with 2 shots before they need to be reloaded. Maybe that sounds mostly like pre-assault rifle weaponry.Aerosteam 1908 said:
Haha, no. You're so damned wrong in that regard. I've played a LOT of FPS, from 007: Nightfire to CoD, to Battlefield, to Halo, to Counter-Strike.ElPatron said:
It does troll players, if the weapons don't work how they expect them to work, if popular or favoured weapons are absent or shit. It would at least rustle their jimmies.
It's a game. Hipfire can be accurate if it's programmed to be. And in my view, iron sights are an eyesore.
We keep mentioning TF2 because it literally fits all the criteria you set out, and is a first person shooter. There was nothing in your post to suggest any other preferences (perhaps you should edit them in).MammothBlade said:
Well, the original Doom, Quakes, Duke Nukem, Medal of Honour, etc, were all fast paced. I believe it was only after Halo came out that things slowed down dramatically.Rednog said:
It would be nice if there were a modern FPS (non-arena) that bucked the trend.
I agree that it sounds similar, but aesthetically and mechanically, it's a different concept, and not what I had in mind.OhJohnNo said:
Mount and blade: Napoleonic Wars
I think it it may fit everything except number 4
#1. No iron sights.
has none
#2. No auto-aim.
same
#3. No automatic assault rifles.
It barely has rifles let alone anything with repeating shots
#4. More than 2 "primary" weapons slots. This allows for versatility in combat.
4 slots at most but most are only equiped with 2 to 1(musket or musket and sword)
#5. No killstreaks or perks.
None here aswell
#6. As many obscure, antique, or imaginary weapons as possible. No AK-47s or M4s, even semi auto versions. The same goes for Desert Eagles. Or perhaps they could be harshly nerfed so that anyone who uses them is in for an unpleasant surprise.
I think everything fits the antique bill here
#7. No knife button, it's a secondary weapon which you have to select first. There is a wide selection of melee weapons.
swiching to sword or melee mode is a button click
#8. No quickscoping.
only thing that scopes in the telescopes and that doesn't shoot
#9. Camping is a legitimate strategy.
#10. No auto-regenerating health. Just medkits.
No medkits no hp regen

You pretty much either use it or you don't. I went from Wolfenstein 3d to a ton of TIE Fighter vs X-Wing before moving on to modern FPSs, so that's probably why v:TestECull said:
1. Why. Why would you EVER choose to fire from the hip than using your sights? That's just silly and the only reason such a thing exists is because of two reasons: One, technological limitations, and two, the gun does not require the ability to use iron sights (such as most guns in TF2)MammothBlade said:
2. Auto aim is typically used in console games because a joystick is not nearly as accurate as a mouse and keyboard.
3. I have a problem with this, but I'm not sure why.
4. Yes, that would be good.
5. Sure, killstreaks are silly. Perks add a nice little variety to the game, though.
6. Lots of weapons means A LOT of balancing, have fun with that.
7. Yeah, sure, why not?
8. No problems here.
9. No. Just...No. Camping is almost never a legitimate strategy unless you have a sniper rifle.
10. Why not come up with an entirely new health system? Medkits make for dull gameplay and instead of focusing on fighting your enemies, you spend a lot of time scurrying around playing capture the medkit.
