"Activision: ‘Modern Warfare 3 is the fastest to $1 billion"

[disappoint]

Eh, Call of Duty is just mass-market cheese, a la Justin Bieber or the Twilight Series. I *very* seldom see someone who actually likes it that has played any previous games of note. Quake 1 did the whole spaz deathmatch thing much better about 15 years ago.

But when Quake 1 and UT came out there weren't as many aimbotters/see thru wallhack/brightskin cheating losers who can't play worth a damn without cheats around. Back then we played on a level playing field. And if you sucked (as we all did when we were noobs up against veterans) we looked at what the veterans were doing to win and learned from them to get better ourselves instead of cheating.

I'd rather play something old and good than new and popular.

The reason first person shooters are dying isn't because of COD, it's because HL3 has not come out yet. :'(

This is now a HL3 thread.

Hell, HL2 was the last FPS that actually moved the genre forward.

IMO Metro 2033 took a step forward. It is one of the most immersive games I've ever played.

When did Stalker come out? I thought that game had some good advances as well.
