Hard to answer because I've played a shitton of shareware disks with their own flavour of wolfenstein 3D (which was banned in my country) clones
>your fav singleplayer FPS
Probably AVP2 if I had to pick one, but I replay a lot of FPS and hold them all dear.

Add horror elements.
This is how you fix the horror genre, at least.
> Unreal Tournament (I don't know which, probably like 2004, GOTY, whatever it was)
> Haven't played enough to have an opinion, but I unironically like Half-Life
> Going by raw gameplay, UT, but going by a mix of gameplay and actually being able to play the game with people, TF2
>Chex Quest
>Half Life
>Unreal Tournament 2004
less zombies and nazis more minorities
Having more b or aa titles being developed at a budget with no multi or at a low cost. Something will stick and refresh the genre.
>remove headshot multipliers
>improve weapon damage
>remove reloads

>hire some dude with a deep voice to do exorbitantly campy killfeed announcements
>make a really satisfying hitmarker effect
>make all the weapons OP as fuck but balance them around each other and different playstyles while still maintaining their OP stats
>every character model is a sexy female with either big tits or a big ass wearing skimpy outfits and tight bras

What are your thoughts on the health regen vs health pickup debate?
This is the kind of nostalgiafag garbage that finally gets made and then nobody buys it because it's a garbage heap while nostalgiababbys like you are suddenly nowhere to be found
Make them the exavt opposite of FEAR, that should make them good.

Half-Life
System Shock/HL2 EP2
TF2/Neotokyo
health regen is dumb as fuck and lets you get away with being reckless. Health pickups actually make you think.
I think the obvious correct design choice is ____both____
Ban assault rifles and SMGs. All purpose hitscan automatics are a design crutch and if you get rid of them variety will thrive.
sounds like you're projecting to me
I think the only game to do the health regen thing was the nu-Wolfenstein series (much as only it's first two games were good).
Only regen up to a certain point, gotta grab a health pickup for more.
Regenerating health < Health pickups < Not having healing at all
Why would you ever pick Ed over Kevin on this list? Actually, looking at this the Eds and Kankers seem underpowered.
Ahem.
I think you unlock them as the game goes on, so the last couple characters are meant to be more powerful.
>taking the worst from both CS and Overwatch
Probably one of the few FPS games I actually want to fail.
