Anyone else prefer the older arcade-styled shooters over the modern 'realistic' shooters?

if there is not room for both there is not room for variety. I miss "shootouts" from the Goldeneye era, but overall Halo still brings this style to a large extent especially in the smaller maps. I think it is funner when playing with a small group of people locally, but via the internet in huge matches I prefer Cod's style of quick draw skills that demand you stay alert.

That being being stated, after finally playing modern warfare 3 I feel like activision needs to just make it online only and continually add downloadable content. The Multiplayer just feels and looks the same. Glad I did not buy it new.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be both. I'm actually saying the opposite. I don't necessarily want there to be less 'realistic' styled games, I just want more arcade styled games, since the sub-genre is pretty barren as of now.

I read your abstract on the bottom and not he whole thing so I .

It is hard to know what ,"shootout" game would do as well as Halo or Cod online. Your probably a rare younger than 20 gamer that remembers the shooters that are like what you describe before HAlo and Cod very well. I just do not see it selling as well as an online game. There has got to be a few still around, but they are certainly a rarity that deserve more.
