Most of those people are the same one's who post pictures of DriveClub on any positive Forza thread.I've seen plenty of people call FH5, Horizon 4 DLC.

1v8 (bots) - bazaar - snipers - add slow movement, infinite ammo and no pick upsHalo Infinite has it.
It's quite fun. Fighting alone against 8 bots at high difficulty is basically a hidden survivor mode.
Apex is pretty great. Halo is amazing. But besides that I kinda agree. Nothing else grabs me. I loved BF before but I feel like I’m just a pawn in a massive simulation playing them. Even more now with the higher player count.
It only appears this way because of iterative releases. Why? Because it was the dog that didn't bark: You made no mention of CS:GO.Regardless of the style of shooter you play it is my opinion that Multiplayer FPS games are in the gutter. Whether it is rampant cheating, lack of innovation, souless execution, or bug ridden launches, every single game in the genre is plagued with something. Probably the best launch this year, Halo Infinite, is still just a well made upgrade on the formula Halo 2 popularized, which is great for the people who want to play the same game they have been playing for years, but not ideal for those of us looking for something new. The most interesting and innovative FPS out there, Escape from Tarkov, is A) Only on PC, B) being destroyed by cheaters, and C) has a dev team that actually hates its customers. The most popular FPS, Warzone, is A) being destroyed by cheaters, and B) is developed by an actual evil corporation that wants to suck your soul from your body and then sell it back to you as microtransations to pay for their sexual harassment lawsuits. 2042 crash landed worse than the Hindenburg, and Vanguard...LOL who gives a shit about Vanguard?
Why is there so little innovation in this genre? I am flabbergasted that a AAA dev hasn't taken on the Tarkov Formula and put it in a package that doesn't want to repeatedly stab you in the back. Honestly The Cycle Frontier beta was the most fun I have had with an FPS for a while. Who knew Yager could take their failed BR, rip off Tarkov, and make such an enjoyable game. Too bad it doesn't actually launch until next year...
Why does DICE fuck it up every single time? Does nobody QA their games? Why don't they have professional FPS players, streamers, and regular fucking gamers testing their shit and telling them...Hey morons some of this stuff doesn't work?!!?!
Why is Halo infinitely stuck as basically the same game. Where are innovative modes? What about a Halo Extraction Royal (Think Hunt the showdown, Hazard Zone, Tarkov light) mode or maybe even a BR?
Why are AA (B) devs allergic to tactical shooters right now, and why does every game need "Specialists, Operators, or the like"?
Is this genre doomed to be a derivative, cheater infested, well of disappointment for the foreseeable future?
I want it so bad, but unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see it.We need a new, full on Unreal Tournament to save us from the BF , CoD garbage.
BR would be innovative for HALO. Maybe not for the genre, but Halo needs something more than the same modes we have played since the OG Xbox.BR is innovative? BR WAS innovative, until it became oversaturated.
If we're going for innovation we need something completely different than what currently exists, and I'm all for it. The problem is a lot of developers, especially AAA, don't want to take any risky steps. So, they just keep going with what they know "works" or is "popular."
Yes I have played a ton of them. The best idea to come out since the BR is "Extraction Royal" (Tarkov, Hunt, etc). More games should create cool new modes like Extraction Royal is now and Battle Royal was previously. I salute DICE for hazard zone, just wish they hadn't been so half assed about it. They missed what the soul of extraction royal is (multiplayer roguelite).Do you actually play FPSs? Or have you every played them?
Halo is peak multiplayer shooter right now. Don’t associate it with COD or BF, those are crap and very redundant.
Well, to be fair, we COULD still be seeing BR in Infinite. Wasn't it hardcore rumored for a great while? I mean, as much as I don't care for them, it'd be a smart move on their part considering it's still popular.BR would be innovative for HALO. Maybe not for the genre, but Halo needs something more than the same modes we have played since the OG Xbox.
BF for example started with conquest, went to rush, back to conquest, added in an excellent breakthrough mode and has tried tons of other modes throughout the years. This is what I am talking about when it comes to innovation with halo.
Imagine Halo "escape from tarkov" mode. Drop into a map and fight AI and other players for loot and get out. That would be cool. But man if you like arena slayer then I am happy for you.
Id like to point out that I did not knock halo for being a bad game or anything. I'd just like to see devs try new things with "game modes" (Innovation). I am completely okay with the "gameplay" returning to something closer to the good ol' days, but would love new ways to experience it.Well, to be fair, we COULD still be seeing BR in Infinite.

Honestly with Infinite, at least so far, the mode Stockpile felt refreshing enough, haha. Especially when you get two really good teams duking it out.
Oh yeah, I know, my bad if I sounded like it was taking it as such. Wasn't intentional if so. Oh yeah, I would too! Definitely!Id like to point out that I did not knock halo for being a bad game or anything. I just like to see devs try new things with "game modes" (Innovation).

Does that make sense.
I am also not an arena guy. Big BF player.
thishalo infinite is so fucking good, that it has flipped the shooter genre on its head.
I do as well. Unfortunately the homogenization of ideas has caused them all to be similar, and a lack of quality control (or giving a shit) has caused launches and titles to be rather underwhelming at launch. Halo Infinite is refreshing because it is actually well made and faithful. It isn't anything new, or really expanded though. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing if that is what you want.Oh yeah, I know, my bad if I sounded like it was taking it as such. Wasn't intentional if so. Oh yeah, I would too! Definitely!
Haha, I'm a BIG arena shooter fan, but big BF fan too.
I just miss the days when every "big" FPS had its distinctive differences, and all were quality through & through.
I think the problem is GAAS in general, not just FPS’s. “Oh, we don’t need to add content now, we will just add it later for free and they will forget all about it”. This is the mentality or large gaming companies right now, and in mind is going to be the downfall of the AAA video game business in the future.Regardless of the style of shooter you play it is my opinion that Multiplayer FPS games are in the gutter.

Yuuuuuup. I wholeheartedly agree, it's just something we haven't seen in a bit. I think it's just another harsh realization of just how bad it's been lately.I do as well. Unfortunately the homogenization of ideas has caused them all to be similar, and a lack of quality control (or giving a shit) has caused launches and titles to be rather underwhelming at launch. Halo Infinite is refreshing because it is actually well made and faithful. It isn't anything new, or really expanded though. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing if that is what you want.
I am a fan of BR, and, as an extension, Extraction Royal games. Personally a Halo BR would really get me into the game again as I am not an arena guy. Gonna buy and play the campaign though.
There is still room for innovation in the battle royal sub genre. Extraction Royals are an example of this innovation. There is nothing wrong with BR games, the problem is when new BR games are just like the ones we have. For example another "Tactical" BR in the vein of OG PUBG would be welcome as it is completely different from COD, Apex, and the like.Halo Infinite is awesome
Rainbow 6 isn't nearly as good as ppl hype it up as
Cod sucks now (again). BF still sucks. Enlisted controls are so bad
Destiny PVP feels like it hasn't improved in 4 years. TitanFall 2 is destroyed by hackers
Apex LEgends is better than pretty much anything.
and yes Halo Battle Royal could be awesome. Because anybody that whines about "another battle royal sheesh" is an idiot. And its not like theres 4 million battle royal games. Theres like 3 that ppl actually play. Im sure ppl said COD didn't need a battle royal. Im sure ppl thought Fortnite with the tower defense zombie gameplay.....didn't need a battle royal. Im sure ppl were mad when TitanFall had a spinoff that did a battle royal.
Its not Battle Royals that are bad. Its the bad games that are bad. Hyperscape was bad. Firestorm was bad. Its execution. a Halo Battle Royal done right would be great. Done wrong, it would suck and die. And all the naysayers would point and say i told u so. But if its done right they just move on to hate the next one.
I was calling out Multiplayer FPS games. There are a lot of examples of great single player FPS titles that are doing cool things.Halo, cod and battlefield don’t represent FPS, I got fair FPS experiences through Metro, Bioshock, Deathloop, and Firewall.
How is adding a BR an innovative mode to add to Halo? That would be the least innovative thing to do.
You will see frustration with mp fps, what do you consider a good mp fps? The multiplayer is another necessary component to Call of Duty. Treyarch is a master of map design and black ops 2020 is a must play. You're gunning for objectives in places like Miami (Everyone kills this map for it's visibility but night maps matter, locking up flanks and hotel rooms matters) , Moscow (The Moscow map is reminiscent of the three-lane competitive maps of Call of Duty. The central lane leads into the Moscow Metro and the other 2 lanes, the alleys and the main street, can be used to flank), and Uzbekistan. You still have scorestreaks, trashtalk and fighting inside buildings all must have features for modern day multiplayer shooters and you’re raining down on them.There is still room for innovation in the battle royal sub genre.

The compelling thing about Halo BR are its vehicles and well balanced weapons/shield/damage system. Honestly, Halo sets itself up well for a BR just in how the game is designed around weapon pickups to begin with.
Halo BR would be better than Apex IMO. I have never gelled with Apex's shooting mechanics.

BF4 (after they fixed it) was a great multiplayer FPS. PUBG has my favorite shooting mechanics in a game and in the beginning was a great experience. BC2 is an all time fav. I am a big fan of BF2142 (The old one) and titan mode.You will see frustration with mp fps, what do you consider a good mp fps? The multiplayer is another necessary component to Call of Duty.

Halo is good and free on Steam without any p2w.
With that alone this year in online FPS is better than the last 5 years combined.
Did you read what I said about halo? Its a good game but there is no innovation on game modes. That is my critique...Halo is leagues ahead of the other FPS games this year, its incredibly fun because it nails fun maps with tight gameplay, it doesn't belong in this list
