I assume you dont play shooters so this comment is hilarious. Halo doesnt play like any other FPS. Battlefield is of its own. Like it or not CoD is one of the most fluid fast paced shooters. Even TitanFall looks to be very different. Killzone 2 by the way was very unique with its heavy mechanics. Also Unreal Tournament is completely different than any of the ones above and Counterstike as well.
When people refer to generic shooters they are saying it is copying a formula (Most likely the CoD formula) but it doesnt have it doesnt stand out either.
That would be like me saying all Jrpg's are generic. Some are and some arent but if you dont play the genre then you really shouldnt be talking about it.

I do play the genre, and for many reasons fps games are considered by many to the be the mot unoriginal of all. The Museum of Modern Art just created an exhibit for video games, and they've purposefully left out fps games after over a year of debate for it's uninspiring delivery. Mechanics make a shooter good or bad, but it takes more to make a truly original or artistic game. Most shooters are not successful at that, and CoD is one of them. If there is an actual problem with Killzone, such as bland level design comapred to CoD or framerate problems, I get the lower score. Calling it unoriginal in a time when CoD is about as inspiring as Madden seems more than a bit odd.
