Why do people on here have such a hardon for arena shooters? They died for a reason, multiple reasons in fact. They never advanced the genre the way tactical military shooters did, the barrier to entry became far too great in games like Quake, and the fanbase for these games only want to play very specific games and nothing else. How many Quake clones and Unreal clones got made that none of you even fucking bought or played or supported? Meanwhile despite all the shit talk, I've seen plenty of people on here admit to buying and enjoying games like CoD, Halo, GoW, and Battlefield series.
So face it, you talk the talk but won't walk the walk. You can't blame casuals for ruining shooters, when you don't even really want arena shooters either. Besides, with games like CoD advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3 and Halo 5 having fast paced advanced movement options(actual well designed ones, not shitty looking bunny hopping glitch shit), they've pretty much given you what arena shooters had, but combined with the advance tactical and strategic elements of modern shooters.
op is right, people got sick of arena shooters because they never evolved

>How many Quake clones and Unreal clones got made that none of you even fucking bought or played or supported?
Yeah because shit like Homefront and MoH: Warfighter wasn't just clones of CoD?
>Meanwhile despite all the shit talk, I've seen plenty of people on here admit to buying and enjoying games like CoD, Halo, GoW, and Battlefield series.
Your entire argument is just "/v/ is one person" good job faget

Hey if the man is right, he's right. Companies quit making these games for a reason.

>defending bunnyhopping
Shit looked retarded, wasn't fun to learn, and it makes way more sense to do movement like Advanced Warfare or Black Ops 3 than "bunnyhopping".

How did they ruin them, when fps are more fun now than ever before, and way more popular? You sound like a bitter old crone, mad because his bunnyhopper shit isn't popular anymore. Go play Toxikk or Xonotic instead of crying about casuals.

There is nothing tactical or strategic about CoD, its a Bunch of hallways with people spawning and running around blowing people up. Its an arena shooter with less options.

>Cover is hardly even used by 90% of the player base and is undermined by making the majority of the walls as bullet stopping as a pillow
Pretty sure your a troll or just dumb. Or maybe you have just never played CoD.

Homefront was actually a really good multiplayer game and the vehicle purchase system prevented the base camping issues that battlefield had and allowed the scale of conflict to escalate organically as the match drew on and everyone got cashed up
Its only crime was tacking on the shitty 4 hour singleplayer and charging full price.
military shooters haven't been moving forward in years, the last one that changed something was titanfall and people even found that too hard
theres only so much you can do with fps

I've had a lot of fun playing Quake Live the last few years. Not much else gets my adrenaline pumping the same way.
Gaming has stopped moving forward, only the graphics get better, everything else is being simplified, "streamlined", rounded down to pure lowest common denominator, all to make the most money
That's just the nature of Capitalism
