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

people forgetting about ghost recon. I haven't played one since modern warfighter but those games online take a lot of skill and patience. Its almost always one shot one kill or if you don't get killed you are wounded.

If anybody remembers playing "america's army" the first 2-3 years it was out it had incredible realistic online play, was definitely the best online FPS other than counterstrike i played. They should really just make an authentic shooting game that has the most realistic gun mechanics. None of that quick reload etc. lots of guns shooting the same bullets, which is often the case in real life and therefore different guns aren't drastically more or less powerful. Im still waiting for a game where they have like 200 guns for no reason, its always the standard pistol, AK, famas etc. they should make a shooting game that is like gran turismo as far as your gun selection, old/new guns etc. pull out the musket on some lames

if they had that, but had a SEPERATE run and shoot feature like an iD or Valve shooter i'd be in heaven.

Choosing your REAL firearm as your sidearm then choosing some wildness like the Q3 Rail gun as your main = Crack

closest I've seen is Battlefield 3.

But it wouild be cool to have a cerebral multiplayer that was deeper and more intuitive than just shoot em up.

This is Starcraft:Broodwar and Warcraft 3 but you get the idea.

@Ed MOTHEREFFING G Great thread breh, 5 stars daps n rep. Anyway, this couldn't be anymore true. I'd say the closest thing we have now is Battlefield 3 because it actually takes some time to master the aiming aspect of it. The power ups is really what turned me away from COD cause basically when you buy the game and it could be a week after it dropped theres dudes on there probably 5x prestige basically using legal cheat codes. Also throw Killzone 2 in there, maybe 3 also but I haven't played it.

I have no idea what there wasn't more games made like Quake. The action and controls in that game were a thing of beauty.

Jedi Academy is THE BEST MULTI PLAYER FPS I'VE EVER PLAYED.

strategy games take skills cuz of....strategy involved

it ain't hard to do. just have everyone spawn with the same loadout, and go at it. shyt just gets boring quick to a lot of people though. 'class based' games, and later games with even more customizable loadouts, became more popular because people could contribute even if they didn't have godly twitch skills

So basically takes more skill for PC shooters

tfc has classes and takes skills tho

in general those shooters were more dynamic and pacy tho...and I think theres certainly nostalgia involved as well. quake 3 deathmatches between very good players were a thing of beauty to watch

knda random but I know this girl who is not a gamer at all but one thing she played was tribes 2 on PC and she told me she was obsessed with that shyt and was killing it.
