The Best First-Person Shooter Games That Aren't Battlefield or Call of Duty

Fans looking for a perfectly balanced shooter with beautiful worlds and fast-paced gameplay will love iD Software's DOOM Eternal , a single-player game that is the definition of chaos and adaptation all in one. The follow-up to DOOM 2016 is a glorious romp through a violent hellscape, filled with the same weapons fans have come to enjoy and a new progression system that builds on the 2016 experience, all set to a heavy metal soundtrack in the backgro

Many players will know the map and its callouts off by heart, making for faster and easier communication. Some will also know the precise area and angle to throw a grenade from to ensure it gets across the map and ends up in a key location. Safe to say, removing many of the fan-favorite CS:GO maps will not go down well with the community, so Valve should ensure they make an appearance in Counter-Strike

When gamers think of the first-person shooter genre, the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises often are the first to come to mind, and it's for good reason. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have dominated the FPS landscape for nearly two decades, releasing games that range from historical shooter to futuristic battlefields and mastering the formula for an engaging multiplayer suite that keeps fans coming back for more competit

For all the jokes the gaming populace makes that Valve doesn't release games, we have to give credit where credit is due. When Gabe Newell's notoriously opaque company does put out a product, it tends to be a big d

The Halo games have something for everyone, as single-player fans will enjoy the campaigns of Halo 2 , Halo 3 , and Halo: Reach in particular, with the others having significant high points as well. Fans of multiplayer will likely love the Halo: MCC multiplayer suite , as it includes the legendary multiplayer offerings of Halo 3 , along with the more modern multiplayer suite in Halo: Reach and Halo 4 , so there is something to appeal to the taste of any kind of FPS player. On top of the balanced multiplayer and great campaigns that explore many different environments, Halo weapons are a joy to use, with almost every type of weapon imaginable available to pick up and use at some point in the game, from a standard assault rifle to the gravity ham

Probably the best things about Doom Eternal are that every weapon feels great, and that combat is encouraging players to change and adapt their play style as they progress through the game, making the experience incredibly challenging. Different enemies require different approaches, not just different types of weapons, and running in with the guns blazing won't always result in success. In terms of mechanics, DOOM Eternal is on par with the best Call of Duty games , Destiny , and Halo in terms of smoothness and responsiveness, making it an elite FPS experie

We were going to say that games like Zeno Clash don't Get More made anymore, but they do, because developer ACE Team still exists and puts out strange games almost every year. That is the best way to describe Zeno Clash, though - it's weird in the extr

It seems to have worked though. Even though the game has since migrated off of the Source engine and onto Source 2, it still sees hundreds of thousands of players each day, and the International is still the biggest event of the esports calendar every y

It’s important to go over the basics before jumping to game-changer tips and tricks. CS:GO is a team game, no matter what you do or how hard you try, you can’t carry your team throughout a whole match. You can outperform your teammates, but working with them will increase your chances of winn

Over a decade and a half after their release, it is still pretty easy to find an online lobby, as pretty much everyone that owns a PC has these in their library. Because of that, it's always fun to go back to with friends. L4D is timel

Defending Bombsite A is usually a little tricky. The enemy team can make a fast play trusting their numbers, and if they get the opening kills you can kiss goodbye to the control of the bombsite unless a miracle happens and your or your friends turn into John Wick. If you see multiple smoke grenades landing in key positions, readjust your positions as a whole team and try to punish your enemies when they’re executing their strat

Knowing how to use the environment can win you a round when it seems like all is lost. You can even the odds and clutch a 1v2 or 1v3 by picking fights one at a time. Dust2 has lots of boxes, doors and mini walls to help you with t

Players will have spent many hours learning how to control this recoil and maintain accuracy when firing full-auto. If Counter-Strike 2 introduced new spray patterns for old guns, it would disregard years of muscle memory and would be frustrating to say the least. Valve is better off introducing entirely new guns with fresh spray patterns to avoid players having to make a jarring adjustm
