Linear gameplay in FPS's is getting out of hand.
Every new and improved game that hits the scene works the same...
1.) Listen to some random uninspiring bs from someone who really doesn't matter.
2.) Gather up stuff.
3.) Kill some baddies.
4.) Gather up some stuff.
5.) Kill some baddies.
6.) Go through the door.
7.) Next level.
Yes, I agree the 7 step plan is incredibly intuitive, but a nice mixing up would be much appreciated.
How bout this...
1.) Listen to some random uninspiring bs from someone who really doesn't matter.
2.) Gather up stuff.
3.) Kill some baddies.
4.) Gather up some stuff.
5.) Kill some baddies.
6.) The wind comes up, cars are blowing over and you are being impaled by blowing debris.
While the new level loads, you're being tossed about by a tornado (or jetwash, or whatever) and have a leg torn off by flying wheelbarrow.
When the new level has finished loading, you find yourself missing a leg, squirting blood and tossed against a building.
You find yourself having your guts kicked in by a bunch of brothers who want your wallet and your Reeboks.
Your health is low because you are squirting blood even faster, but you lay eyes on a large hunk of broken glass and managed to grab it and do a one-legged propeller spin effectively dicing all the proximity baddies.
Left with a defcon 4 health situation, you are forced to hop through the noontime New York City traffic to the hospital to get your leg patched up and...
7.) Gather up stuff.
8.) Kill some baddies.
9.) Gather up some stuff.
10.) Kill some baddies.
11.) Go through the door.
12.) Next level.
Now it's a 12 step plan. That's gotta be better. 😀
I even have an idea for multiplayer FPS games that'd add some pizazz...
You've just completed a spree and you're digging around for the rocket launcher with right click sticky balls.
You boot down a door only to gaze upon some alien chick kicked back in the corner scratching her biscuit behind her leather skivvies.
Being the extreme soldier you are, you offer to help however you can.
You click f to mount up, find your stride, and notice your head explodes from a "Spinning shot-out eyeball" perspective.
When your eyeball quits rolling, in your sight is the alien chick's old man holding the smoking sticky-ball/rocket launcher you should have kept looking for.
He's wearing his "You are banned" t-shirt and you find that you can't get on a server again until 24 hours have passed.
Now that's a new angle with some panache. 😉
