My god I love shooters last Gen i wasnt much of a shooter at all, Call of duty 4 and its Multiplayer turned me into an addicted shooter/Savage sniper codenamed Soap lol. Since than I have bought Kilzone 2, Quantom of Solace, R6vegas, r6vegas2, Cod5, Resistance 2 and Far cry2. I know some people have said that there are too many shooters hitting the market, I say the more the merrier. I hope to purchase the Xbox 360 also the home of great shooters e.g. Halo 3, Gears of war 2 etc.

The thread is made to praise the 'Shooter genre', discuss upcoming games. Best Multiplayer offerings, which game is considered the 'King of shooters. Many have said that Killzone 2 has overtaken Cod4 as the King of shooter, what do you think? Please participate with your comments and contributions and what game your most looking forward to.

The Games that have shaped and defined the Genre.

Honourable/Special Mention -   

Many people forget that Ghost recon: Advanced Warfighter was the first real HD shooter, Universally acclaimed and the only game to have received a 9.9 from Gametrailers. Which is quite an achievement considering the stellar of shooter released.

I recommend you check out Far cry 2 really amazing game!

The most anticipated shooter 'Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 is expected to be released this November, which should give killzone 2 a run for it's money. The Wanted 'videogame' is coming soon.

• Cod Modern Warfare 2 release date 19th of November 2009

I want to ask you the following questions

• Which game has the best Multiplayer offering?
• Which game do you consider the 'King of Shooters'?
• What game do you consider as the most significant?

Please contribute with any comment or information you would like to share. I will keep this thread updated with new information as I find it.

Last comment, continue the assault in the multiplayer mode do not have mercy and be ruthless in your aiming

 

 

 

Where is the game that brought multiplayer online gameplay to the masses, Unreal Tournament?

Gears added nothing to the genre, same with Resistance, R6:Vegas doesnt belong, COD4 doesnt belong, Killzone doesnt belong.

where is Quake, Wolfenstein, Tribes, and the other games that actually evolved the genre and made it what it is today? You literally only have 3 games there that shaped the genre in some form or another which are Halo, Half-Life and Golden Eye. 

You tried with this post but I missed WAY to much to consider yourself a true shooter fan.
