Possibly a hot take, but I reckon there are a ton of great console FPS, a ton of great FPS post the 2000s, and a number of really good COD games.

As the person who brought up the matter, I don't object to this at all. I don't have much experience with console shooters due to my dislike of the control method, so I can't really speak much about them. I just find it curious that it would seem that for some reason or another, most replies to this thread seem to prefer earlier shooters. As an anecdote, I like both old and new Wolfenstein games, and while the most recent games in the series have been good too, I do prefer the older ones. I think it might have something to do with the snappier controls, but it's been a while since I've played any Wolfenstein games, so I could be remembering the more recent ones incorrectly. I do know for certain that the older ones definitely had very snappy controls though.

Demographically, VGChartz is made up mostly of older gamers, (myself among them) so it stands to reason many of us prefer the earlier stuff from the 90s and 2000s.

That said, though I do count early FPS titles like Doom and Perfect Dark among my all time favourites, I do also love a lot of newer stuff like Doom Eternal, Dusk, Prodeus, Titanfall 2, and Turbo Overkill.
