are better than modern ones.
Discuss. This could go for the console shooters as well except for the fact that they didn't get proper network play until dreamcast/xbox time.
With the GOG sale I just bought Unreal tournament. In the last steam sale I got the serious sam pack.
I say that in either single or multiplayer player mode FPS from 10 years or so ago are just more fun than more modern shooters. Or maybe I am just reminiscing with rose-coloured glasses.
Run, gun and strafe with health packs, instagib, ludicrous weapons and pretty much unlimited ammo makes for more entertainment than fancy graphics, limited weapons, conserving ammo, sneaking and 3 hits to die.
I will throw counter strike (as a team based, limited health, tactical game) against this argument, and you could make individual cases for games like dishonoured (modern sneaker) but generally I think it holds true.
