You seemingly implied it. "If they're comparing this to FPS games" implies that it isn't one and people shouldn't be comparing it to fps games. 

No, I didn't imply it. I'd say the same about Portal. Portal is part of the FPS genre. Calling Portal a "generic shooter" would be stupid, and comparing Portal to FPS games would be stupid, because it clearly doesn't play like them, even though it's in the same genre.

What I said was that the game clearly doesn't play like regular FPS games and shouldn't be compared to them the way they are. Calling it a "generic shooter" or saying it has gameplay "like Halo" makes no sence, since it plays nothing like that. Someone who played 1,000 hours of COD or Battlefield would be a chicken without a head playing a game like this, because it controls and plays out completely different to those types of games.

In that case I misunderstood your post. I read that post before I read your preceding post, and it came off as if people were wrong to call it an FPS. Personally, I consider it to be an MPH sequel and would classify it as an Action FPS rather than a first person Action-Adventure like the main Prime series. As for Portal, I wouldn't classify it as Action game nor the Action subgenre of shooter. It is a first person puzzle game, with the focus being puzzles and not shooting enemies. All of these games have the first person perspective but try to do something different either it be shooting enemies, solving puzzles, or exploration.
