Is it safe to say that Bungie is the GOAT FPS developer?

[DaSk8D00D]

While there are other great FPS devs out there, Bungie never dropped any duds and their two IPs have been revolutionary. Halo speaks for itself and Destiny is on the Mt. Rushmore of GaaS games alongside GTA Online & Fortnite. Both series revolutionized online multiplayer and set the standard for their genres moving forward.

If they’re not the GOATS then who is?

Wolfenstein creates the fps.

Doom refined and created a campaign that everybody else bit off


Quake blew up FPS arena style multiplayer.

iD was the only other dev I could think of that’s in the same tier. I’m not mad at that answer

Respawn. Gunplay movement wise titanfall is the best cod4 changed gaming

Id/epic is a tie for arena shooter unreal tournament is more fun then quake but competitively quake3 is the top of the list when it comes to elite reflexes/aiming skills.

Cs 1.6 /source and go is the meta fps

Bungie definitely gave us classics but they’re not the GOAT. My biggest gripe with them is that they didn’t know how to take the lore and put it into the game even when technology permitted. Master Chief is a bad ass super soldier saving humanity from an Alien confederacy but in the gameplay he acts just like any regular protagonist in your favorite FPS. Then the environments were totally unbelievable and undetailed...you’ll go into a room that’s supposedly a warthog mechanic depot but there’s no tables and chairs, no machinery, no vehicle lifts..just a bunch of ramps everywhere.

I remember seeing Modern Warfare next to Halo 3 and I couldn’t even look at Halo anymore. Halo would benefit IMO if they toned down the cartoon aesthetic and made it more of how it actually may look in the future. If you think people ain’t gonna use tables and chairs in the future, you’re a dumb ass...they used tables and chairs 2000 years ago...they will use them 2000 years from now.

I replayed Halo 1 recently and shyt is still smooth and fun. The fights are too good, AI too great, and flows so well. They definitely deserve props.

Valve has made every type of FPS game

• Counter strike- online multiplayer pvp
• Team Fortress- class based Arena shooter
• Half Life- single player action shooter
• Portal- Puzzle shooter
• Left 4 Dead- team based co-op shooter
• Half life Alyx- VR Shooter

And I’m sure I’m missing something.

Bungie is the best to me. But I'm not a big PvP player. Aesthetics, gameplay, shooting mechanics are all really polished. Destiny 2 is crack. I haven't been hooked on a game like this in a long time.

Bungie is really good at refining gameplay mechanics:
recharging life
recharging grenades
limiting number of weapons
revolutionized console shooters
revolutionized MMOs
making melee weapons in shooters feel powerful and actually useful
Teamwork and team balance is exceptional
Character powers are powerful and fun

I have a hard time putting other companies above them. They didn't invent the shooter, but they do it damn well.

I honestly find the gunplay in Destiny 2 to be a bit boring. Maybe I need to try some new weapons as Ive never gotten far into the game.
