Are there any active FPS multiplayers that don't conform to this "reward the new players" bullshit? I just want a game that's fast paced/gun play based where I get totally fucked at the start because I'm new and bad.
Every hero shooter
>Use abilities, kill anyone no matter their skill. Guns are not used.
Csgo style shooters
>Limited health, slow paced, round based.
Quake, ET, etc
>Dead
COD, BF, etc
>New game every year, extreme casual catering.
The closest I have found is Dirty Bomb but over time with the new merc releases and gun balances, the game has pulled away from gun play and more towards abilities.
I've hunted around for a while but it seems like every FPS that isn't dead always falls short to cater to new players.
I think you might be looking for Planetside 2.
Titanfall 2
Verdun

is this a shitty dirty bomb shill thread?
>>387971410
this has the same problem as cod/bf... "the weapons with the most DPS dont unlock until i'm level 15!"
just play toxikk/reflex/quake live (not dead)/ quake champions (actually dead)
define "dead" ?
and tf2 doesnt have any "abilities" neither does TiFa2 (this is how I distinguish team fortress 2 and titanfall 2)
also LOL PUBG LOL
but seriously
i dont know what you mean by active. I can get duels in CPMA every day with people I've never seen before. I don't know what else you really want.

>is this a shitty dirty bomb shill thread?
No, I have spent over 700 hours in that game over the years and with the latest merc releases can safely say it's gone to complete shit now. Less than 10% of my deaths would be to guns and nearly all of those would be shotguns anyway. Stay away.
Play either Quake Live or Quake Champions
literally everything else is either dead or casual
>>387973589
quake champions is casual
it is also dead
it released today with about as much hype as it'll ever fucking have, and has half the playerbase of lawbreakers, it's pathetic
it's almost like anyone who players shooters at all is already playing something (pubg, overwatch, bf1, r6s, csgo, titanfall2, etc)
Competitive TF2. Not many people picked it up when it launched in game, so there's a good mix of f2p shit and 2000 hour players early on.
>>387974023
tf2 is really good in 6v6 desu senpai
Squad.
ARMA
>>387971324
Your not going to like them, but Squad and Rising Storm 2.
>>387971324
Halo Custom Edition
>>387975947
Great tastes anon.

Not much into shooters but Gmod Zombie Survival is pretty fun. Keeps me coming back to Gmod for months at a time
