The Call is MY Duty
Ahh Modern Warfare 3… It’s not a game for the weak ladies and gentlemen. It’s full of blood and guts! Haha I lied there’s no guts but there is blood… blood splats. Do you know how it feels to try and run up on someone of the opposing team to shank them and you get shot in the head!? Not nice my friend… not nice at all OR to be kill by grenade from some chump that is two stories high in a beat up building? But nothing and I mean NOTHING is worse than those immensely annoying twelve year old kids talking trash because they got one kill oh how they burn my soul.
The Evolution Of The First Person Shooter (FPS)
First
person shooter has come a very long way.
It was very popular in the 90s with games on various consoles and PC.
Early 90s FPS games started off with simple controls like Wolfstein and Doom.
In these games the user couldn’t fully move their aimer in a 360 direction. The
movement of the crosshair would only move left and right. Gamers in this time
never experienced games of this nature, so they were huge hits.
Then later on
in the 90s games such as Medal of Honor and Goldeneye were huge hits because
these games revolutionized the genre. These games were the first games that had
multiplayer split screen supports for a console. The results of Goldeneye were great and had huge
sales. Many gamers remember this game as the game that revolutionized console
FPS games.
Then in the in the early 2000s Xbox had a major hit in Halo: Combat
Evolved this game changed everything because gamers never felt a game this
addicting since golden eye, and it had one of the most memorable campaigns in
video game history. This game showed that FPS games and video games in general
can have a theatrical feel something that you can experience in a movie
theatre. Then many years later Xbox launched Halo 2 which was one of the first
games to effectively implement online matchmaking and one of the most memorable
online multiplayer experience on a console ever.
After the success of games
like Halo and Halo 2 it ushered in a huge craze in console gaming. The results
from the success of Halo made games like the Call Of Duty, Killzone, Battlefield, and many other FPS games have huge success when they were released.
Online component of FPS games are here to stay, and many feel that every FPS
game has to have online features in order for it have huge amount of sales.
