People have been playing the same FPS mechanics for years, and it never gets old. Almost all the new games have the same mechanics as the old games, just refined or with little variations - ex. COD is almost like any hitscan/instagib game mode, Halo is more oldschool w/ powerups and weapons pickups, etc.
Most of the newer games have features that were prototyped on the PC side by the modding community, got popular and then added it to games by devs.
