Did CoD kill shooters?

IMO - yes. I don't think I liked a single shooter released after CoD4 because of its gameplay...except maybe Bulletstorm.

I don't see how that means CoD killed shooters. Shooter is also a broad genre.

Still plenty of shooters on the market that aren't like CoD and sell quite well.

Many (most?) shooters after CoD4 copied a lot off the game, trying to replicate the success. Most failed...hard.

A lot of games took some ideas from CoD, but that doesn't mean many or most games we see are CoD clones.

Definitely not the cookie cutter approach we saw with WoW clones.

Yeah? Tell you what, I definately wouldn't be able to tell you the name of even three "big" FPS released after COD4 which didn't contain either:

a) Regenerating health (blabla first used in Halo -which wouldn't even be correct- bla)

b) Imposed limit on the number of weapons and grenades you can carry

c) OHK scripted knifing (a knife used to be the weakest weapon in a game...)

d) Absolutely linear level design

 

Could you?
