Is it just me or has every good FPS fell off? I want to give 2 examples of what I mean and where they fail...
Halo and COD
Halo 2 and MW2 were two of the best most addicting FPS ever made. Everyone loved playing and had hell of fun memories playing.
Why did people love these games?
1- Social experience
This is self explanatory for both games but for Halo 2 players definitely had a blast with custom games.
2-Simplicity
Anyone could jump right in and do damage. As they get kills banners and medals would constantly pop up to remind them of how awesome they're doing. "Killtrocity" and the kill streaks we're awesome.
3- Mistakes
Glitches, BXR, super jump, getting out of the map, overpowered weapons, quick scopes, boosting. To devs this shit sounds horrible but players weren't complaining... Well I hated quick scoping because I was lead to believe COD was so realistic.
The main thing on this list that ruins FPS is The simplicity of them.
These companies have the most perfect form of their product in front of them and then they ask themselves... "How can we make it better?" The real answer is that they can't. But their answer is " add more shit"
Everytime they "add more shit" they take away from the original game style and gameplay. We've all seen the ridiculousness of COD Ghosts and their shitty perk system.
But I'm gonna cut this short, I've been here too long lol. What are you're thoughts ?

What I meant by adding more shit is how they add unnecessary features and hype it up to be so much better when it really isn't
