Really? Good grief. Really poor choice of wording, then. Thanks for confirming!

Nah, I think in reality it really was meant to mean “shooter old people used to play”. But personally I also prefer the “shooters with more boom” interpretation, because of course action games back then had more action and were better, now get off my lawn!

I blame the success of Halo for dragging FPS into almost 2 decades of slow af protagonists with shield mechanics who could only carry 2 guns. Then id broke the cycle with Doom 2016 and made shooters fun again.

Are, are you me? I basically stopped playing FPS when Halo and CoD made them slow and boring.
