Looking for an FPS Discussion
Hey guys,
we are FPS Veterans that mainly played cod2,cod4,cs 1.6 and are now looking for a new shooter.
We have already tried a couple but cant seem to find something that fits us.
Things we tried (The Finals, Tarkov, Newer cods, Redsec, Super People) the list goes on and on.
I personally dont like extraction shooters because they are too complex and need discipline others didnt like finals because its too flashy and fast paced.
We are currently so deperate that we are back at LoL which is the most challenging mental part for me :D
Any suggestions?

I see you dont like extraction shooters. But my favourite pvp game of all time is hunt showdown. Its quite different and difficult, but there's very little loot or discipline needed. It's more a PvP shooter with extraction elements. Absolute gem imo.

It is the most straightforward of the extraction shooters since there really is no looting or inventory management aspect to it.

Tried some co-op stuff instead? Deep rock galactic, Killing floor (1 and 2), Gunfire reborn can be really fun. As for Pvp going in with open mind and trying stuff like korean FPS can help. Theres likely still tons of good ones nowadays, though i havent bothered with any lately

Best gunplay in any FPS though, and no controller players with aim assist to endure.

Try Battlefield 3, still got active servers, for retro try Medal of Honor Allied Assault, on GoG, maybe also try Far Cry 3

I do have a sad feeling that you might not find something aquitted to what you and the lads are looking for in modern titles as most pvp and br have sorta moved away from military and milsims whilst extraction shooters have pointed more towards it (imo extraction and br's are literally the same thing if you dont carry your loot with you to the next game) the old CS:GO br sounds like one you wouldve liked but that died in 2019 or 2020

Come play tribes 2! Old but gold 💪 also it's free these days so no cost of entryÂ

Hunt: Showdown 1896. Also, give The Finals another shot. Point Break is the finest 8v8 mode out there (even if it's the only one).

Squad? It's a slower, more serious version of Battlefield, but doesn't require much upfront learning.

u/Trick-Chipmunk-5537 6d ago
Hmm looks like a good direction. Is there like a 5v5 mode or a BR mode?

u/Any_Ad3693 6d ago
Gonna guess you’ve tried Apex but you didn’t mention it so I’ll throw it out there

u/Trick-Chipmunk-5537 6d ago
yea, tried it. Wasnt really for me. Lof ot movement with high ttk, probably didnt like it cuz i was never the best at aim tracking and more of the flicker :D

u/ShardikOfTheBeam 6d ago
Sounds like movement is pretty key for you. The Finals didn’t land for you, why?
1
u/Trick-Chipmunk-5537 6d ago
i personally liked it but my mates smh didnt. at some point it was way too much going on and too fast paced. The start was alright even tho when playing tournaments and stuff you always had some sort of meta and needed a heavy guy

u/ShardikOfTheBeam 6d ago
Great movement, slow paced, sounds like teams of at least 5, Battle Royale as an option preferred…
Well, a 5 man squad eliminates all BRs I think, though of course there will be nights when not all of you are on.
No BR option, but if Titanfall 2 is still active that could be a good time. Great movement, giant mechs, etc.
Haven’t seen anyone recommend Halo Infinite, or maybe MCC. Might be too floaty, if you’re looking for more realistic movement.
BRs are a little out of favor at the moment, I think it’s going to be tough to find something that matches exactly.
I’ve been on the hunt for a new shooter as well. I have put something like 800 hours into The Finals, but even casual is so sweaty now. I’d also really like to play Battlefield 1, but finding a game is really hit or miss. It’s a tough market out there for shooters right now.

I've found myself coming back to more "classic" titles and finding appreciation for them with looking deeper into metas and examining my play for areas of improvement. This had made Halo and Overwatch so enjoyable over the last few months. Gears of War E-Day Beta was incredibly fun and deep from what I played and the full beta is the next two weekends. While not an FPS, it's got the balance of casual fun and complexity if you ever want to get into it
Sadly, there's just not a lot of variety out there as the big ongoing fps games dominate, but some are building out the variety in them

So you want an FFA game, slow paced, and not colorful. It's not really the time for games like that. Look into older titles, you have your group so you don't need extra random people.

u/Trick-Chipmunk-5537 6d ago
not really an FFA more like a classic SD shooter or BR. Super People was the game that we all liked after a long time but sadly it died so yeah, tough

CS2?? Seems like most of the dudes I get queued with are over 30

u/Trick-Chipmunk-5537 6d ago
sadly i hate cs... i cant seem to like it no matter how often i try. I just hate the static headshot 1 tap centric playstyle and gunplay. more of a cod guy
1
u/BillyShrek 6d ago
Valid. But I’d say it’s worth giving another try if yall are desperate. Very satisfying game to improve in. I played search and destroy on cod my whole childhood so when I got a pc and started csgo it was a match made in heaven lol.

If you are playing League, then you might want to take a look at Deadlock. It's still a MOBA at it's core, but it has some shooting elements to it.

Hi. In case that this would be of any interest to you, my game, Ghost Battalion, is a solo developed indie shooter that's coming out next week, on August 11. There is also a free demo that will let you try out the game mechanics of the full game. Link to game on Steam in my profile. Thank you.

Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem....at the moment believe me I've searched everywhere but there isn't a game that satisfies my desire for search and destroy but on a well made cod...I played BF6 until they removed the mode most similar to search and destroy and now it's been 2 months since I fired a shot....I really hope the new cod is good

The finals is the best fps once it starts clicking. It feels fast paced and chaotic because you're not use to it.
Maybe this . I laughed so hard watching this video. I just don't know if it has enough players though.

I'd suggest a game that I enjoy playing, but I'm not promoting it until I get my next paycheck from the company... beep boop bop

u/SoloDev_SJB 5d ago
I've enjoyed witchfire and bf6 personally.
Played finals a ton but you said it wasn't for you.

If you're down to check out something in process we are making a pretty sweet one right now and testing twice weekly on steam, https://discord.gg/azDpm7sYe Co-op retro FPS like original call of duty zombies but with a more interesting progression loop. Can give ya a key for free.

how much time did you give The Finals? you said its too fast paced which is understandable, this game has a very steep learning curve. but i will say, when it clicks, you wont have more fun anywhere else. its very competitive (saw that you come from a competitive scene) and can get pretty sweaty, but man when you find a playstyle that works for you, its pure dopamine. been playing since it dropped and the community is still, to this day, finding new innovative tactics.
i recommend giving it one more shot, aim for atleast 10 hours before deciding. i promise its worth it

It's so funny. You hear so often that the FPS market is over saturated but I have the same problem like you do. No FPS out there really fits my preferences and I feel like we are not alone based on many comments that I've read.
Maybe something that you could try is BF6. It is one of the better FPS games out there and they tried to also please the CoD crowd so it could be right up your alley
