Pet Peeves: Five of My Problems for Modern FPS Games!!
4 replies, posted
When I was a toddler, I was enjoying video games for Sega and Nintendo. And my first FPS game was the computer game Doom, infamous for it's intense violence and satanic imagery.

^ Enjoy this awesomeness
Then it went on to Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Time Splitters, Half Life, I was convinced that those FPS games were going to be awesome and never fail. And now these games are just fail, and here's why.
5. Regenerative Health.

Seriously, just having health recovered in seconds? That defeats the purpose of playing games. I mean, Halo and DNF had an excuse (Shields and Ego), but an ordinary soldier? At least Bungie reintroduced the normal Health system in Halo 3: ODST.
4. Two Weapon limit.

Why do we have to have two weapons only? What, to make things more realistic? Not in a sci-fi setting, we will not. I see the reasoning for Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, and they were before Halo, but in non-realistic settings, not just allowed.
3. "Realism"
Yeah, regenerating health is just sooooo realistic./sarcasm
2. Too much focus on Multiplayer, and of course, why it sucks.

^ 'Nuff said? Oh yeah, and when I played Black Ops, it was too easy, so I quit playing. And my little brother plays Halo and gets MVP, and he gets booted everytime he is an MVP or gets the most kills because the players are butthurt.

Enough said.
