I started downloading R6S after ragequitting a few weeks ago (because I suck at it) and went on to youtube and just put in "pro bf3" and watched the first video that I found. I started wondering, why are there no "modern" shooters. Like the ones with REAL guns, like M4s, AKs and Berettas and all that shit. Only a few like that are popular, such as CSGO and Rainbow Six Siege. I guess you could call MW3 popular too, but it's also an old game. There are no new titles really. It's all about BF1 and Infinite Warfare that people are talking about. Am I really the only one that wants a Bad Company 2 remake? Wasn't that an amazing game? Because Sci-Fi genre doesn't seem that popular anymore. I'd seriously love to get back into BF3 or Bad Company 2, feel the nostalgia. But everyone is just playing Battlefield 1 and Counter-Strike.
I agree CoD is outdated due to its clunky features. Black Ops 2 with drones and RCXD offered a good mix, but exoskeleton gear and space fights didn’t impress. More contemporary shooters would be appealing.
I believe the squad now has a fresh vibe, though many WWII reimaginings are coming soon. I spotted a video featuring opening scenes reminiscent of the classic EA Games Allies Assault on Omaha Beach.
We've seen many top military shooters from studios like DICE, Infinity Ward, Treyarch appear over the years, along with countless imitations. The shooting community has long pushed for updated settings, which is normal in game development—once a title shines, others mimic its style until players lose interest. Now we're witnessing a shift toward more colorful, personality-driven games such as Overwatch or lesser-known historical settings like WWI. Infinite Warfare is experimenting with futuristic themes, but it feels somewhat overused and may be contributing to its poor sales compared to other COD releases.
