Take 2 is a huge publisher, they previously claimed to have over 30 games (obviously some would be annual releases of sports games) to be released before the end of 2026 FY. With, an additional 18 mobile games on top of that.

Tournament Play is somewhat different than casual play. Organized Play -- everything from store championships all the way up to worlds is a way of getting people to play. Having active communities in a LGS is a great way of bringing in new players. I recognize that many of the people who are into MCP/Legion/Shatterpoint are in in more for the painting, than the actual playing. That's not the case for X-Wing, and probably not for Armada. I don't think AMG should be paying for tickets and hotels, but I do think they need to hold a "World Championship". If they don't, I think the community will do one -- and it will likely be online.

That seems to have zero connection with the original game.

Which FPS games do you think had big “boss” fights vs. Set pieces?

I don’t think bosses are a big part of the FPS genre. Which is why so many of them culminate with a set piece.

Games in 2024 are objectively better than 20 years ago. I’m only including games I’ve played, and 1 per franchise. If Halo 3 came out today, exactly as it originally released, with only a single player campaign, it wouldn’t review well. The best FPS games strongest points are their multiplayer, which is ignored in this ranking. Agreed. If I were to consider it a single player campaign, I would rate it very highly.

I don’t differentiate between platforms. I agree the controls were revolutionary for a controller, but were still a step back from the standard set 8 years before with Doom (KB/Mouse). I still think Halo’s vehicle controls were garbage, and some parts (like jumping) felt terrible. As someone who played a LOT of PC FPSs in the 90s and I was extremely underwhelmed (if that’s a word) by Halo.

Just for the lighting and reflections. I’ve never understood the appeal of single player Halo.

GTA VI cancellation confirmation.

1) Doom 2) Half Life 2 3) Titanfall 2 4) Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus 5) Far Cry 4 6) Crysis 3??? 7) Killzone 2 8) Resistance 2 9) Robocop Franchises I’ve intentionally left off: CoD, Battlefield, Halo Franchises I’ve never played: Metro, Stalker Franchises I don’t think should count: Bioshock

I do. Coincidentally, he uses the same nickname as me, AbsolutSurgen.

I originally said that in my post, but deleted it because I thought I would get too much hate.

Ubi is focused on big swings, and I don't think For Honor 2 is a big swing -- unless they massively revamp it enough that it's no longer For Honor 2. If they thought it was an IP that would justify a sequel, they probably would have done one by now.

Is this a troll list? CoD4 has the best campaign in a world where Titanfall 2, Wolfenstein and Doom exist?
