Are there no other major fast-paced COD-style multiplayer FPS anymore?

Gaming@beehaw.org – 16 points – 1 years ago

I've always liked the CoD formula, but unfortunately paying 70€ for the latest MW2 to play something so basic seems not worth it, especially when said game will be abandoned next year. I tried searching on the Steam store, but it feels like there are no serious alternatives on this market. Anyone has a good suggestion that could match what I'm looking for? Other than Titanfall 2, I already played this game too much

Came here to suggest Titanfall 2, lol.

This is a different niche than COD-style shooters, but it seems like you might like movement shooters if you like Titanfall; games that take the "fast paced" part of your query to interesting places.

FUNKe has made four videos covering the state of movement shooters:

The State of Movement FPS

The State of Movement FPS 2

MORE Movement FPS

EVEN MORE Movement FPS

Someone else mentioned XDefiant, Skill Up gave a great overview of the current state of that game in April, during its closed beta. It's more heavily team and kit focused, but still fast-paced while not being a movement shooter.

thanks for the links! Definitely seems interesting, I'll watch that at some point!

Titanfall is great - so good to see the community still playing

Best FPS game. Gunplay is great. Movement is great. Big ass robots.

xDefiant is looking like it might fill this niche. There is an open beta in a couple of weeks.

The Finals is also looking good, and had some unique spins such as 3v3v3.

Unfortunately there isn’t much out there that competes directly with CoD anymore, I’ve been looking for this type of game for years now.

xDefiant was what immediately came to my mind as well. OP should check it out. Feels more or less like one of the more arcade-y CoDs.

Thanks! Never heard of the finals

For what it’s worth, after playing the xDefiant beta, I can say it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! Reminds me a lot of CoD Black Ops 1.

Quake 3 Arena is still around

Frag like is 1999

I knew I could count on Gordan Freeman to be based

I played Quake champions and an open source arena shooter and quite liked it! Even if I wasnt around back then I think it's an enjoyable style of game

Battlebit remastered just released on PC. It's gunplay is way better than it deserves to be and it's 15 dollars. Much more similar to battlefield than cod, but there are modes in battlefield that emulate the cod feeling.

Thanks! I played the beta of that one and it seemed cool, didn't see it just released! definetly gonna grab it, I loved BF4 back then :D

Just played it and I am a bit disapponted, the game felt very janky unfortunately. I'll try it again in a few months

Sorry to hear that. It's certainly got some jankyness. But I think it's pretty charming.

it's fine, it was worth a try and they can probably improve! I'm sure it will become awesome with time

xDefiant is an upcoming one that might scratch that itch.

I heard about that one, I'll keep an eye on it even if Ubisoft isn't to be trusted IMO :D

The game director behind xDefiant (Mark Rubin) has previously worked on multiple CoD titles and has pretty openly communicated about how xDefiant is directly adressing a number of issues that the CoD community has with current CoD titles.

oh well it does make it feel more serious then

why not try teamfortress 2? still going strong

Bots though.

I've been playing Shatterline it's Free to Play and pretty solid.
