With the FPS, MMO and strategy genres dying, multiplayer experinces are dying out too. I think OW and LoL have such a huge playerbase because there's a severe lack of games to play with friends online. The only good multiplayer games are coop campaigns now, and those are limited by their length.

Every shooter with recoil mechanics has RNG, this is just a fact.

They're fine, unless you want like 200 v 200 firefights, which typically aren't all that good.

>no interesting movement whatsoever

Yeah, it's not an arena shooter. I would agree that good arena shooters are superior but I still enjoy CS.

>>381187818
OW is a game designed from the ground up for people who don't like FPS games. Most of the roles don't require good aiming and all of its depth stems from your team being smart enough to coordinate abilities at the same time.

Yes. Yes you should. If you can't do that then the game is too shallow and it's also largely impossible to carry in that game.

CS has absolutely fucking nothing interesting about it, except maybe the slight tactical considerations you have to make in a coordinated match

Overwatch would function better if competitive was focused on teams' ranks more than individuals' ranks, since that's what OW is about. Individual rank should apply to individual skill and team rank should apply to the teams' overall skill. That would require effort and probably too much coordination for a typical bog-standard matchmaking system though. It can't dig itself out of that grave it made.

Anarchy Reigns on PS3 was awesome as fuck back when it had players. Even played and had fun with /v/, though at that point there were only 3-4 people who were still interested enough to join.
Splatoon was great as well, climbin ranked mode were some of the beat and worst of times, and splatfests were cool too if only because you were fighting for something.
Now I just play Overwatch, but aside from how nice it looks there are too many tryhards who think it's super serious business and that ruins it.

>>381188380
>It has better shooting, better movement, better teamwork

lol. Shooting for most characters in OW feels so goddamn weak and shitty. The only good ones are Widow, McCree, and Pharah, everyone else feels like ass. OW also has no advanced movement techniques and its teamplay is basically just "push together and use abilities in tandem". At least in CS you need to have a mic and make callouts even at mid level play.

I dunno. OW was pretty boring, TF2 became hats, I don't play MOBAs, CoD is a Madden game now, and I'm not fond of MMORPGs.

At this point, my fiends and I just play R6S until we get pissed and then just play civ5 until we go to sleep. I think we're just getting older.
>>
>>381188643
Pretty much, and since most of the game revolved around that tactic it was doomed to fail. Still fun to do the horde and objective modes, maps were full of shit going on too. That's a game I wouldn't be mad about buying a remake for if they tried to tweak it a bit.
>>
>>381188559
Quake isn't a 1v1 game at its core, it just has depth so it works very well for 1v1s.

>>381188457
>Not every shooter has a random first shot however.

Use the AUG or the SG, problem solved.

>still can't use iron sights in CS

lol, so you're admitting you're retarded? I love Siege myself but the iron sights dictating fights instead of pure aim and reaction annoys me a lot. If one person is moving forward with his sights up and another is running forward the guy running has a huge disadvantage and he will almost always win that fire fight.

Hell, OW not having iron sights is the best thing the game does.

All recoil mechanics are random. If a game has recoil on any level, it is random.

Okay.

>>381188715
Your still ultimately removing depth. You can have a game that both encourages teamwork with one that allows the player to outplay an entire enemy team.

>>381188871
I've put like hundreds of hours into both series and I'd disagree pretty heavily. CoD TDM is the most shallow FPS out there. It relies heavily on people running around randomly and whoever sees someone first will almost always kill them due to the little to no recoil, the really short TTK, and the pitiful 1.4 times headshot damage.

>>381189316

I mean, I know that you're probably 16 years old and all, but I thought that you do realise what why some shooters are called "tactical".

>All recoil mechanics are random. If a game has recoil on any level, it is random.
If you can use iron sights, the recoil is less of a random factor and more of a something you can control since regardless of anything your bullets will go in the middle of your screen.

As long as you're fast enough you can take a very small pauses to correct your aiming after recoil to shoot with perfect accuracy, in CSGO recoil isn't something you can instantly negate.

>>381189683
>I've put like hundreds of hours into both series
>CoD TDM
Holy shit, I didn't even think that you're this much of a shitter. It's honestly hard to believe you're this retarded to talk about TDM instead of S&D, and I'm not even mentioning promod.

Yes, you can work together even if the game is not built for teamplay

The online gaming community has become full of low iq addicted cheating shit cunts. I will never spend another cent on a game from Valve or a game sold through steam. End of story. Even if everybody in the USA stopped using Steam, Valve wouldnt give a shit. They would just move on to exploiting more poor people in Asia, South America, Mexico, and everywhere else that has a poorly educated underclass. Look at how Valve uses the dollar advantage to fund exquisite Dota2 tournaments in Manilla and feed the addicts. The last thing these kids need to be doing is wasting their life away playing Dota.
