The fact is, old games were a shining example of how it can be entertaining.Because how you "complete" your game, is based on how you are satisfied with it.New FPS games such as CoD follow this mundane, boring pattern, CoD consisted ofGo to A. Go through a corridor. Cutscene. Go to B. Go to C. Cutscene. Go through corridor. Cutscene. End mission.Older FPS games (Quake, Doom, etc)Complete the level how you want to do it. Rocket jump over barriers if you had enough health.Bunny hop your way to victory.Find all the secrets first before going to next level.Accumulate as much kills and item pick ups as you can.Use any types of weapon you want.Do it as fast as you can.That was gaming. You were the boss of the game, not some game that attempts at being realistic but fails miserably at being realistic or even delivering the slightest bit of entertainment that you paid for.Older games consisted of;Finding as much secrets as you can.Racking up as much points/kills as much as you can.Doing it as fast as you can.Collecting the best items that the level has given you.Make your own challenge (The old doom speed runs consisting of not using your gun, at all.)To top it off, people who make maps for the old games, actually spent their time in making it fan-fucking-tastic and entertaining.
This is basically why I don't play modern First person shooters anymore, they are generally pretty boring and the attempts to make realism only bring out the OCD in me to look at all the points where the realism fucked up. I only played CoD: MW2 because my friends got it and when I played the multilayer I used to see how well I could do with just my knife, otherwise it got boring. I much prefer games when they try to be interesting and unrealistic and just plain silly like in some of the old game e.g. Doom. Still there are a lot of good games out there none the less for people to enjoy that don't follow the boring first person shooter methods that are being overly used nowadays; you just have to look in the right places Also could you argue that Wolfenstein 3D set the foundations for the FPS?

The transiction from beta to Release: A useless feature, a broken and unfinished game, a lot of unfullfiled promises, and a 20 euro tag

They made it for people to have fun, it didn't slacken my jaw. And you scream "BF3 has teh bestest graphuc evar1" funny, how it's graphics are lower def then COD. Funnier, if you sin around fast enough, you can find wall textures failing to render. You care only about graphics, I guess you'd play a game where you are Josef Frytzl, and you wouldn't care if it looked like you were looking out of a coffee filter (like BF3, brown graphics)And you think somebody cares about your opinion?There's no need to be fucking rude. If you continue to be an ass, I'll show you just how rude a person can be.BF3 graphics LOOK better than COD, fuck def, my screen isn't even 1920x1080."Funnier, if you sin around fast enough, you can find wall textures failing to render."When you're ingame, and bullets are flying around you, is that what you do? Do you spin around trying to find an error in the game? If you do so, you'll get shot. As long as the textures render fast enough in normal gameplay (which they do in BF3), you should be happy.". You care only about graphics(...)" Did I ever say that? No. Don't post shit directed towards me when you don't read my fucking posts."You care only about graphics, I guess you'd play a game where you are Josef Frytzl, and you wouldn't care if it looked like you were looking out of a coffee filter (like BF3, brown graphics)"What the fuck is wrong with you?? I think I'll refrain from commenting any more on that obviously retarded post.

What starts off as a joke soon becomes a gamemode.
I envy you :'( Did you furiously pull your cock off until your penis shot pure childrens tears?
