no

games like that wont even be made, because mod tools and custom servers cut into precious dlc profits

No because it actually requires skill

For me, it's onslaught

This
We need more worker owned studios, only way to help cure this cancerous industry

it wasnt very good in the first place. HL and Q3 were much better games for arena shootan. hence why it died after like 2 years in 00s terms.

everybody just used hitscan and most mobility options are useless against them. also no bunny hopping.

requires skill to play and to make good map designs for. so no. skill doesnt make money. skill makes the unskilled shy away.

99/2k4:
>Weapons have alt fire modes to provide a large variety of ways to shoot
>No matter what gun you have (bar snipers and pistol/AR), or how you shoot it, it'll work in basically any situation
>Adrenaline gives free powerups on top of utility powerups like AG Boots as part of level design
>High air control and good foot speed
>Introduced Vehicle gameplay in a similar fashion (Scorpions with scythe blade doors etc)
and then you can mod all you want but vanilla is still good enough to this day
>DM is solid, but the content is focused on team, sports and objective game modes

2014:
>ESPAWTS ESPAWTS ESPAWTS
>BATTLE PASS BATTLE PASS BATTLE PASS
>oh wait we have a game for this lmao play Fortnite

Fuck Epic, missed the point harder than 343 with Halo.
Started a private server recently and everyone who hasn't played it keeps saying they "don't like games like Quake" despite playing other games like Halo. It has a strange problem with being lumped in with DM hyperfocused games like Quake.

To be honest Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal offer a similar speed and are fun even on consoles with a controller, which means that arena shooters are in fact viable on consoles.

So the answer is yes, maybe one day.

What the fuck happened to character design... Look at what are getting nowadays, fucking bland characters, anime girls, forced faggots, ugly forced nogs...
Where the fuck are the cool monsters, hot sexy cool sluts, muscular cool dudes, cool fucking robots, aliens, demons etc WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY

No because epic games store, shopping cart, timed exclusives, apple lawsuit, greedy tim, china.

Edit: Thanks for the Gold Kind Stranger!

Just look at what history demonstrated regarding monsters
Evangelion Angels look abstract and cool, even unlike most monsters in media in how abstract they are while being actionable fighters, and nobody cares at all about them because the fandom's obsession with fuckable teenagers and bad repeated jokes dominate it's relevancy, at best you get people mentioning how cool the mechs are.
Xenoblade historically has some sick monsters in its repertoire, people also only talk about how horny and/or poorly designed every woman in XB2 is and how that game sucks and how Rex sucks.
Dragapult in Pokemon is one of the wilder concepts of it's own region, and weaponizes its own children just to fight. It was basically not discussed about in the community in favor of Marnie and how desperately people wanted to see her panties.
Elden Ring has a rabid dog shaped like a t rex and whats far more topical is how fuckable Ranni is as a loli witch.
Resident Evil Remake 2 redesigned ivys from a strange ambulatory plant that swallows you with an acidic toothless maw to a green zombie with a head that opens up to have sharp teeth.
Final Fantasy 7 has HUNDREDS of wonderfully nasty monsters. Anyway who cares, Tifa porn lol.
Most people don't care about monsters. People outright dislike monsters too strange and weird and scary. People want plainer, cute, plushie animals and young teenage girls to coom to. Monsters resonate strongly with some people but it's sadly not a big market.

Fuck i had so much fun with these games.
UT3 really fucked it all up.

Game companies make more money selling skins and loot than actual games. The entire industry is fucked beyond repair.

Yes, probably in a few years. Old things always become popular again. And once devs/publishers run out of their already over-recycled ideas, they're bound to latch onto this one and force it into the mainstream.

It's really something to see a Q3 vs. UT autist in 2022. Grow the fuck up, they were both good games.

What the fuck happened, bro...
I cant accept this shit, it must be a vocal/loud minority that indirectly influenced a wider part of people because people are followers, this is fucking trannies who are pushing for this shit

Its not communism to run your own company you retard I didnt say anything about the gubmint stepping in

The Expanded Multiplayer fan mod was the fucking shit

UT3 was a really great Halo 3 reskin.

It was always true that sex sells and used in the past to hook people on a product, but now you have this big market of 20-30 somethings who have stable jobs and too much money to spend who you can basically gut with mx for skimpy clothes and make more money trough it than trough sold game units. Coomers who only care about that and nothing else are the ones that caused this shit.

the taunts alone would make this game a no no in this retarded day and age
