These are really the only 3 good competitive shooters on consoles. Kz, resistance, and 90 percent of games just have atrocious multiplayer.

With Halo you get an old school FPS

With Call of Duty you get a run and gun, lone wolf style

With Battlefield you get a team based game

A lot of other games are just clones or rehashes that do a lot of things well but not one thing brilliantly

Destructibility+Vehicles+Team Based Gameplay>Everything else

number474961d ago (Edited 4961d ago )

Battlefield(series) Is the best/most modern FPS out there. It feels weird to play other games with gigantic explosions and bombs that don't blow up buildings anymore. Or no vehicles. That dynamic alone should be mandatory in games. Its so amazingly fake to hide inside a Tin Hut when a laser cannon is shooting at you. Or when a C130 is shooting at your building. Destructibility adds that much more of a challenge to the game, makes you think & change your strategy. Its great.

Decent visuals, good controls, balanced weapons. Lets be honest here, the FPS isn't exactly fresh and new. TDM in one game, is the same as another, just as "control" CTF Deathmatch... collect orbs..blah blah all the original Unreal Tournament variables. Little things have been really done to push the genre foward. The newest idea since health-regen though, should be making destructibility & scale the #1 things.

FPS multiplayer without those elements feel stagnant. I haven't dived into KZ3's mp footage, but if its like 2, unfortunately it wont drive me away from Battlefield.

It would be nice if Halo added scale & destructibility, because more than likely others would follow suit.

If you are talking about series then I would say battlefield is better than those 3 but the most recent games that are out I would say Halo REACH.

gamejediben4961d ago

The only correct answer is Battlefield. Battlefield has grown by leaps and bounds since Battlefield 1942. It is the only series that is actually innovating instead of churning out the same old game year after year. Of course, Halo is the biggest offender, barely anything has changed between Halo 1 and Halo Reach gameplay-wise. And CoD has become stale and old hat ever since they got bought up by Activision. But Cod 1 and 2 were amazing for their time.

Battlefield is easily the reining champ of FPS games. Where else can you find battles over enormous environments with 32 players (used to be 64 players), an excellent class system and intense vehicular warfare? and now we can add destructibility to that list of ever growing innovation. All the others are just pretenders.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

LordoftheCritics60d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend60d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long61d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons61d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor61d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5260d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60260d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor61d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
