Why was the late 2000s/early 2010s full of this soulless "modern military" FPS slop?
Why was the late 2000s/early 2010s full of this soulless "modern military" FPS slop?
Because US military was funding it
Because cod4 was fucking huge, next question
What are modern shooters now OP? Tell me.
these games are works of art next to modern fps, that's how bad they've gotten.
There weren't that many. CoD, Medal of Honor, Battlefield, occasional gems like SWAT4, Flashpoint, and Brothers in Arms
Because the decade before it was a bunch of WWII shooters. The industry just follows trends and will only jump to something new once someone else tries it and it's moderately successful.
fpbp
cod did well and other companies chased the trend the same way people chased fortnite battle royale and overwatch (or whatever started the hero shooter trend) now.
^this^
Can also blame the rampant Jingoism gone wild thanks to propaganda and lousy reporting on WMDs
Name 10 games.
take your meds
we didn't know how good we had it back then
those were peak soul
basically this
Recruitment drive for TWAT
geriatric fps
my dick don't work the game
it was a time before dei, and banter was cool
You were conditioned to believe that the 2000s "brown n bloom" shooters were bad when that isn't the case, and with hindsight we can see that the era of CIA propaganda military shooters absolutely outclasses the modern era of hamster wheel live service fps games all chasing even more obnoxious trends than the CoD and Halo killers 20 years ago ever dared to try. We're living through the dark age of FPS games right now and things won't get better until the average retard stops paying for virtual items.
War on terror at its height
military funding
kids actually wanted them
lobbies were the wild west
games mainly focused on faceless grunts and not momotized and colorful skins
It was a golden age. I miss it. Shooters are so dogshit now.
Unfortunately the Bear franchise went in a bad direction causing it to be a huge financial flop preventing Bearlikes from truly taking off.
CoD4 made a bajillion dollars. It's that simple, baby.
Zoomers just don't know the comfiness of thinly veiled US military recruitingslop vidya
Why doesn't North Korea feature more in these DOD psyop games?
soulless
i enjoyed them a lot
maybe youre just gay and allergic to fun?
If you were exposed to this image during the 2010s you were exposed to CIA propaganda
Daily reminder that the CIA was funding that soulless garbage as a means to an end and would later change this for DEI focused gaming.
FPS genre itself got casualized as fuck and co-opted by fake gamers all across the 2000s and any faggot that shat his pants over these games were spineless buffoons that couldn't handle stuff like CS, unaware that the bloat those generic shooters would cause in the industry was gonna feed the next step in mainstream media, DEI.
They are both sides of the same coin, any faggot claiming otherwise was just little timmy back then without the proper awareness
They tried twice with the Homefront games, but they were not very good, sold like shit, and weren't a real believable scenerio.
9/11
Burgers made an entire console relevant by buying Halo. Companies wanted to capitalize on the new dudebro users.
not a single black or femoid face in sight
I want to go back ;_;
Nothing is more soulless than Bodycount bro.
most of these entries were ran into the ground after they milked the propaganda cow dry
That being said, I thought Sniper Elite was russian
MW2019 was clearly a serious effort to bring back the days of OORAH OSCAR MIKE STAY FROSTY, but despite the game actually being pretty cool, there is no way you can come back from this. The US military will probably never meet recruitment goals ever again, now that everyone combat aged is either a disillusioned chud or a fat leftist (both hate israel).
CS has always been a shit game, now its just a shit game with compulsive gambling tacked on. No amount of MK Ultra bullshit will change that fact.
Because the industry follows trends. That's why there are so many Dark Souls clones.
m8 it's not even a secret
dudebros
this was the moment gaming went to shit, retards were far too young to be aware of this so they'll defend this slop
never underestimate just how retarded the good ol' boys are. or 150 million spics.
Stay tuned for more de
Like hell anyone will
Why are the grissled middle aged operators never blonde haired aryans
cod4 really set the trend, but the bro-op manly military shooter trend started earlier when Gears of War launched in 2006.
You have no idea how much better this was than soulless f2p online only gachaslop pr0n, lil brown zoomerito.
Fippy Bippy
I want to go back
A bullet can get you there.
Plus most of those games sucked dick. Fucking Jake Conway is from Ride to Hell, at one point literally the lowest rated game of all time.
Burgers getting smoked left and right, with veterans constantly feeling like they were played like a fiddle didn't help either. Anybody who followed news back then and the overall morale in the late 2000s/early 2010s remembers how much of an anti-war sentiment washed across non mainstream media. It's not just chuds and leftists, it's a natural reaction to what was seen as a mistake, even with nukeman Obama in power, not much could have been done by then
t.dudebro
Thanks for the fun fact reddit.
we didnt know how good we had it
That looks like a fake AI generated game.
Ever wondered why they call the pro-army anons, Diaz and Rodriguez?
Didn't play CoDshit back then
Not playing gachashit now
Your fault for gravitating towards trash, big pissllennial
The goal was to finish off the White race with some new global World War 3, but Trump got elected and prevented that from happening.
Anyone who's served in the Army in the past 10-15 years can tell you it's like 90% do-nothing blacks and spics. And in the the 90s and early 00s you didn't have women everywhere either. The modern US military is a joke.
When did being a zogbot stop being cool?
it's based on the canadian price-winning novel
Let me guess: you think the tv show 24 was completely organic and had no government support either?
he wasn't on Anon Babble during the launch of Bear 2
You missed out man. Shit was incredibly fun.
AAAA TOO MANY STRAIGHT WHITE MEN SAVE ME ST FLOYD
kys
I know alot of people write it off but BE4R was really the peak of the franchise.
Only few of them are military shooters. Half the games on the list are survival horror lmao.
Again, that looks like a fake game.
It was never cool, people just like to romanticize the aesthetic.
the 2020s are still full of this shit, only now you get to pay a shit ton of money to get a funny skin for a live service game that will die within a year or two. Modern military bullshit games, only you get to wear a fursuit too.
A vast improvement over WW1/WW2 FPS slop.
these games were spineless buffoons that couldn't handle stuff like CS
Literally just aimslop. Any CoD has higher skill gap because at least you need movement.
when people realized serving the US military was serving Israel
its okay to serve israel if the guy is white
come now
Post 9/11 and again in the 2010s.
Most young kids now thanks to being raised on the internet know the US military doesn't serve the American people.
they are american
/thread
FPS are easy as fuck to make.
US military was defeated in the Middle East
also defeated within the nation by random internet chuds
its over...
We're living through the dark age of FPS games right now
nudoom miles above of any dogshit 7th gen fps
indie shooters are stronger than ever
dark age of fps
?
WW1
Extremely rare to this day. There are more WW1 shooters made after BF1 even.
Culmination of the FPS genre reaching it's conclusion but devs didn't get the hint and continued to make lackluster successors after the that anyway.
The current psychological strategy for recruitment seems to be making warfare look like a marvel movie, where you get to the quirky main character in a superhero ensemble and collect likes for killing enemies of the state. I don't think it's going to work out for them. Personally, I think Bad Company made war look more fun than current heroslop does. Just some goofy retards having a blast together.
half the size of Bear 2
rest of the game is plagued with DLC map packs
Look BE4R had some cool gameplay ideas but it was blatantly rushed out the door not living up to the potential it had.
you were conditioned
meanwhile old Anon Babble was shitting on the dudebros praising generic shooterslop all the way back in 2005
Generic shooterslop threads were to Anon Babble what shonentrash threads were to Anon Babble
there is also barrack bunny content on social media, so I don't even know where the whole "we are anti-degeneracy" narrative of the current government came from, unless its pure propaganda and lip service as usual
We need more alt-history games with wars unrelated to current geopolitics and less "pulled from the headlines" games. Homefront was shit, but I respect it for trying something different.
unless its pure propaganda and lip service as usual
catamite vance's military background is literally in psyops
2005
army recrooters show up at the store I was working at to find fresh recroots to send off into the Afghanistan/Iraq forever war
start harrassing me about how i should get recrooted
tell them I'm not interested and they just tell I'm a pussy and scared to see combat
remember that these people would gladly shove you into the vans if they had the authority
Figures, with orangeman acting skills for theatrics, they make a nice duo. He was even blaming Biden for the Afghan fiasco and people bought it lmao
Is laughing at them for losing limbs a crime?
But it was Biden's fault you leftard
The first two bear games felt very primative, sure fun growing up but not very well ages by todays standards. By BE4R however the market was too saturated and they were just pumping out a new game with a recognisable ip for sales. Bearly alive (the third game) was the best, simply just for its inovative graphics and gameplay that still hold up today. despite the dead multiplayer, the story still holds up well
The US military will probably never meet recruitment goals ever again
What do you think all the medicaid and food stamps cuts are for?
Fpbp as always
Jarhead was the first movie to be made where, instead of war being portrayed as heroic or terrible, it was portrayed as boring and retarded. There is no real honor to be had in curbstomping weak arab dictatorships on the other side of the planet while your own country rots away with corruption and is invaded daily from the south. Black Hawk Down portrayed the US soldiers as generally good intelligent people, but even then, you really got the sense of "why are they even here? what purpose does this serve?"
had no idea the jarhead cast was that stacked
it was a retvrn to form, bear 2 and 3 deviated from the formula too much. The crafting and stealth mechanics was becoming too bloated from the pure distilled Bear experience.
When PASGT was retired
Looks like if hell let loose was set 40 years later
All me btw
I'm working on something
BE4R was not a return to form, it was a money hungry cashgrab. mediocre online aside, Bearly alive 3 easily had the best story. mustve played through that game 20 times when it came out. made me cry every time
the DOD has plenty of money to throw around
I have no idea who makes it but I think it will play much more closer to Battlefield than standard milisim slop.
Going to give any details?
great troll image. top pic isn't even real and bottom pic isn't from 2023 lol.
I want competition in this market again
never played battlefield but am not generally into fps games unless they have some unique feature or a good story. hll for example is traumatising. I love getting into a sqaud and watching them all get blown up before my eyes as we push to make the last stand against the nazis
You're right, a photo of an Army unit from 2023 onward would look even more brown
They hate every day that the draft was nerfed into oblivion.
just the non-combat unit. combat units are predominantly white.
When did being a zogbot stop being cool?
Precisely after the GWB's 'mission accomplished' speech and we realized we killed tens of thousands of dirt farmers for OPEC.
SWAT4 was less modern military and more police raid.
for OPEC.
uhuh
Before everything was Dark Souls, everything was Call of Duty 4
Is it somehow more soulful if the game is WWII? then you something for the communists of Anon Babble who were former 8ch leftypol and the national socialists on Anon Babble to roleplay as.
Doesn't make a difference, state your criticisms with modern other than you don't want to shoot sandniggers in Iraq and all that crybaby whiney liberal stuff that Civvie 11 would likely lecture you about.
How the fuck is Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 3, Dead Space, GTA V, or Bioshock Cia propaganda?
GTA V
m8 really
He doesn't know
this movie is absolute kino
no engagements
no one gets a kill (one dude almost gets one and then breaks down crying because his superior wants to score the kill with an aistrike)
someone gets sent a vhs of his wife getting fucked by Jody and breaks down in the camp
basically all kills in the movie are friendly fire which is actually realistic (afghanistan, gulf and vietnam had like 40-55% friendly fire casualties)
basically all kills in the movie are friendly fire which is actually realistic (afghanistan, gulf and vietnam had like 40-55% friendly fire casualties)
lmao where do you get this info?
Yer too young, sonny. Military service stopped being cool after World War II; that was the last war where we were fighting an actual purported "bad guy" for global good. Look at every war since: Vietnam, and how vets were treated like scum; Korea which like isn't even taught about in school... Iraqghanistan had a good couple years cause of 9/11, but once we hit 5... 10.. 15... fucking 20 years over there, people started to wise up.
Military service has been welfare tier since at least the 80s. The true mutt welfare military shit started during those Reagan and Bush days -- granted, it was a great time to be in the military, cause money was fucking endless and there were few real conflicts going on that you might die in.
Look at every war since: Vietnam, and how vets were treated like scum
This is a myth.
Bioshock being propaganda is believable, and not just because Levine is jewish.
if you decide to break off from our rotten parasitic system, you WILL create an even worse dystopia, go insane, and die
where we were fighting an actual purported "bad guy" for global good
Fighting al-qaeda is not for global good? wut.
Americans don't want to hear this, but you honestly haven't fought a just war in a good two centuries. The pacific war with Japan was maybe justified, in that you merely provoked Japan into retaliation through trade embargos rather than outright false flag attacks like the USS Maine (Spanish-American war), RMS Lusitania (WW1), USS Maddox (Nam), WTC (GWOT). The ACW would have been based if it ended with all the negroes being sent back to africa, but freeing them within America was an even worse mistake than bringing them here as slaves.
it was proposed under Trump's and signed under Biden, partisan cucklord
Military took the ez route and funded a moneymaker
Army literally had 3 games made
Worse than that, many WW2 veterans were also treated like ass, especially the ones that got cucked by their wives. And as if that wasnt enough, the lack of men in factories pushed the government to giveup on things like segregation, you can guess the rest
It's funny cause AA wasn't that bad a shooter at all either. I remember having a lot of fun with it
