Has there been a multiplayer first person shooter truly built on SKILL in a decade?

Its just not the same anymore. COD really had alot to do with ruining the skill aspect of FPS's.

I havent really been able to get into any since CS 1.6, the GOAT game period.

counterstrike, some people with that AWP zoom n and out mad quick switching weapons and shyt, people with the ak, headshot almost every time

time splitters?

Blame Half-life/team fortress classic/Counter-strike for this.

what was wrong with cs and tfc ? they both took skill
the emphasis just was on teamwork, not on 1v1 deathmatch which basically what q2 was all about...

It's not first person but i thought Socom Navy Seals 1&2 took alot of skill to play online. After playing those games i couldnt really get into all these first person shooters...too many perks and other shyt going on for me.

 

[Shuteye]

actually i remember playing the first COD and it took just about as much skill as counterstrike...when the modern warfare series came along thats when it really changed

 

[yseJ]

come to think about it more, quake 3 AI bots would prolly wipe the floor with the cod crowd nowadays

socom 1 and 2 were da ish. no respawns, jus 1 life per round, no level ups and dem maps were krazy.

looking back now, i dunno how i survived da whole gm on 1 life, but in COD be respawnin like a mutha.

CS:S is my all time fav game. I was really excited about CS:GO but that game turned out to be garbage. CS:S is one of the only games I put in 1000's of hours.

We gonna forget Killzone 2 now?

 

[Spliff]

Blame Halo 2.

The rise of console FPS popularity has dumbed down the genre. Tech and speed limitations make arena shooters shyt on consoles. Remember Q3 on dreamcast? Yea...

wolfenstein: enemy territory is the epitome of skill based with no bullshyt (ETPRO mod)

came in to post this.

ET at it's height was
Getting good at this game basically allowed me to dominate all other casual FPS games upon first play

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare ( 2007 )

If you deny that at least this COD took some skill to play, them your just hating to hate. Respect the GOAT.

Socom came out in 03? 04?
