The Golden Age of FPS began with Wolfenstein 3D in 1992... It died on November 19, 1998 with the release of Half-Life.

It was an age marked by countless great shooters, all with maximum amounts of soul. But then came Half-Life and it all disappeared.

The gameplay is poor in comparison to most FPS’, but is an out-right joke compared to games of the era that require... you know, actual enemy prioritisation, quick on your feet thinking, using the right weapons in the right scenarios, staying on the move and using unique movement styles to your advantage, having to explore the environment for resources, having to keep ammo in mind constantly etc. etc. Half-Life’s balancing in all regards is awful and its mostly hitscan oriented gameplay doesn’t work when you have innaccurate weapons and fast moving (and firing) enemies that force you to stay out in the open to kill anything, except you can’t avoid taking damage outside of taking cover due to the very nature of hitscan. And platforming is annoying when your movement is frustratingly slippery. Who the hell has ever enjoyed the platforming elements of Half-Life? And apparently Half-Life has puzzle elements, but I don’t know, unless you’re 5 years old I’m not sure how anything about this game is puzzling... except of course how it managed to grow such a butthurt community of fanboys. Half-Life’s combat sucked then and it sure as hell sucks now in retrospect. It’s aged like already sour milk.

It fucking sucks and it killed FPS. It ushered in the Dark Age of FPS.

Pathetic is having a crusade against a game. Who at Valve fucked a girl you had a crush on?

No crusade. This is /vr/, we're here to discuss retro games. Just because the truth makes you seethe doesn't mean it's anything more than the truth.

Half Life maps sucks, they trick you into believing they are good maps, but they are just convoluted linear shit with scripted stuff as you walk by. Alf was right, HL is the cancer that brought us the triple A linear shitty map for the normies.

Source engine is great for an ass-old engine to run in my potato computers, but valve's mapping style is just a one pony trick thing, no real substance, and it really infected the whole mapping scene with it's cancer.

FPS games had more personality back then, that's for sure. You could see one small screenshot in a magazine and quickly identify which game it was.
Nowadays, you see a screenshot of any ultrarrealistic modern FPS set in the usual areas (jungles, Middle Eastern-like villages) and they all look the same.
