I'm not into FPS as much as I used to be but I still fancy the standout titles in the genre :P

See and you have Call of Duty 4. Hasn't it given you a special feeling because of the atmosphere? For example when the atomic bomb is exploded and you crawl out of your helicopter just to see the destroyed area or when you played Captain Price in Chernobyl.

Well World at War has such moments as well.

That was a fantastic scene indeed but I still don't feel the same way about CoD4 as I did about Quake, System Shock 2, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, Metroid Prime or Half-Life 2. I just feel that while the FPS genre is continuing to make improvements, it just isn't making the same leaps and bounds as it used to.

Well I think it's far easier to make an original FPS when you can completely random choose your storyline, but well Call of Duty is about realism and they do that pretty good.

The games you named are very futuristic amd some of them multiplayer only.

They have done admirably considering the constraints of maintaining realism. However, this strive towards realism is still a limitation that I think is preventing the genre from incorporating innovative new ideas which I would prefer to the current direction that the genre is taking. I mentioned the games that I did because they were fun and original, I wish that Activision could do the same and forget about slight improvements to the same formula because it grows old and stale which I guess was the point of this thread.
