The best bit of halo is when you do a level so samey they had to put arrows on the floor. Then later you have to do the level again backwards against the arrows.

As fun as it was, the death match format is dead forever. Counterstrike saw to that. UT tried to move towards objective based shootemups with their underdeveloped rugby style game Bombing rub, a kind of reverse capture the flag. It didn't work because the game wasn't designed that way. Team Fortress has ushered in a new era of class based, objective oriented shooters, and I'm all for it. Overwatch did a great job picking up that mantle and providing a huge amount of diversity in play styles, so much so that the skills for one class may never transfer over to the skills for another.

Plus how all the extra mechanics go together like building up enough momentum so you can do a slide kick to insta-kill enemy infantry and also the the large piles of weapons to try out with everything from assault shotguns to electrical zapper weapons that liquefy bad guys.

Hodgepodge posted:you can literally tell any story, there are a ton of stories, even limiting yourself to poo poo that actually happened, you can tell about WWII. the choice of what story to tell and how matters, and frankly acting like it's some vague mystical crap is just reactionary bs that dismisses basic literacy skills and paying more than superficial attention to culture as mystical woo. we've been over this, WWII began when Caesar crossed the Rubicon

Kind of a non sequitur, but god drat I hate all of the characters in Overwatch. Most of them are really awful people.

To add: even if some of the characters on team Overwatch are "nice" people, they still work for an ultra rich globalist agency working to suppress minority outrage.

it reminds me of when during the height of early 2000s drm they wanted to sell those mp3 players where you could only do shuffle with preloaded top 40s shovelmusic although everyone just uses spotify now so i guess the brainwashing works eventually

Breakfast All Day posted:eh, i really dislike the "everything is moba heros, skills and cooldowns" poo poo that defined a few years of gaming there I dunno, it lets you have so much more variety than "dude with gun vs. dude with similar gun". OW has jetpacks and axes and tesla cannons and shields and silence and yes, a lot of guns. But, man, nothing burns me out faster on an FPS than realizing that no matter how many maps in how many modes with how many opponents, every loving player is fundamentally the same, and that makes every match you play feel redundant.

That also ignores that everything in an FPS is already basically a cooldown: Your gun has a cooldown called reloading, your health refills on a cooldown, even your sprint can be exhausted in some games and refills over time.

This is patently untrue. There are a near infinite number of ways you can have mouthbreather inflicted on you, from the 6-stack preform spawncamping you, to boosters, to being the only one on the team not being interested in playing CTF like it's TDM...every match is a fresh, new hell of mouthbreathing single-serving playmates.
