i am convinced the only reason this shit gets praised is because players dont know any better.

So you're saying you're a spoiled/picky zoomer teen and don't understand how good it was for that generation (especially compared to nearly all other PS2 fps's, if you had it for that instead of Xbox) despite coming out at the very end of it?...

For a 2006 console FPS it was good and revolutionary at the time.
Graphics, gunporn, destruction and non-stop action... Nothing like it had been seen before on a console before. This is what made Black memorable in the eyes of a console gamer.
Shitty AI ? It is was a common thing to every game back in 2000s and even today.
So I don't get what are you implying buddy with these green text. The premisse of the game is simple: shoot and destroy everything while keeping a realistic tone! Not to open doors, not to be a stealth / melee soldier or fantasy soldier who can carry a entire arsenal and jump like a moron for no reason.

Most people don't know shit about guns and cutscenes are done between levels, not during it.
"realitic tone" is not equal "sim military shooter", buddy
I suggest you at least beat the game on the hardest difficulty, then come here to talk about how Black plays.

I played it when it came out. Bought it day one. It fucking sucked ass back then and it does now. If you ever played Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, Delta Force, Black Hawk Down, Operation Flashpoint, you wouldn't be saying all that gay shit because those games actually did firearms RIGHT. Hell even if you didn't have a PC, PS2 had the SOCOM games which were miles better than this garbage. Hell even 007 Nightfire had better weapons mechanics than this shit. This game fucking sucked ass and fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. Eat shit.

It absolutely was not. Xbox had Far Cry Instincts, Halo, and tons of other games I'm forgetting. PS2 had SOCOM. All of these games blow /blacked/ out of the water. Rainbow Six Vegas came out just a few months later and did everything Black was trying to do except well. R6:V was unique because I hated how much the Rainbow Six games had sold out but I still loved the shit out of it as an action game. Hell I reinstall it every once in a while and play terrorist hunt to this day.
>Graphics,
I'll give you that some of the graphics are decent for the consoles it was released
>gunporn,
Not even close. I didn't own a single gun at the time the game came out and even I could tell it was all wrong. It just looks bad.
>destruction
Nothing really that revolutionary at the time.
>and non-stop action.
unskippable cutscenes literally interrupt the action faggo
