Realistic fps vs fantasy fps
Sometimes I notice a clash between realistic fps gamers and fantasy fps gamers, claiming that one is better than the other. It´s usually a short moment when the realistic fps gamers agree among eachother that they focus their negativity on the fantasy fps gamers instead of on eachother. I know that a lot of people don´t consider Call of Duty as a realistic fps but if you compare it to Halo then it definately fits in the realistic part of first person shooters.
People prefer reality over fantasy? When you look at certain games then you would think so, the amount of copies that the CoD and Battlefield games sell don´t lie. They show that a huge group of gamers buy these games and you often see thousands and thousands of people online playing those games. For a fan of weapons it´s probably more fun to have a realistic fps than a fantasy fps, because the recognition of weapons in the game is probably fun for the weapon fan and using them even more. But also the fast game play, because you die so quickly (especially in CoD Ghosts) keeps the gameplay fast and without mercy. Some people enjoy that, but others simply hate it, in reality you do die quickly if you get shot. So letting people live after they´ve been shot to pieces by someone else is just ridiculous, an armor could give you some protecting but it doesn´t make you invulnerable. Also certain nations like to use these type of games to attract young men and women to join the army and sometimes even use these games as a type of training. It´s a fun way to dive into the world of the army, but of course it´s not quite the same. Still it doesn´t make that much of a difference as there are a lot of wannabe soldiers, actual veteran soldiers and people that are currently a soldier that play these games. They share the online multiplayer world with kids, unemployed adults and hardcore gamers. It´s exactly what you would expect from a large group of gamers, it´s a lot of different people put together in one game. How could that possibly go wrong?
Fantasy is more fun? The good thing about a fantasy fps is that you´re less restricted and you can make whatever you want, as long as it fits in with the story and it keeps the game fun to play. I think Halo did a great job with that, some people might hate this game but it´s actually very good! Over time these Halo games have changed and the fans don´t always agree which one is better, especially the latest Halo game (Halo 4) has received a lot of hate from fans. People don´t like how easy you can die in multiplayer and also dislike the loadout sets you can put together. They claim the game is starting to look more like CoD and there is a group of fantasy fps gamers that actually hate realistic fps like CoD. I enjoyed Halo 4 to be honest and I look forward to Halo 5, it´s actually nice to keep multiplayer fast and deadly. Sure it might seem like fun to have a gun fight that lasts 30 seconds but I think a lot of people like to go faster than that. Besides with a dmr or battle rifle you can actually kill pretty quickly as well. This actually gives you a chance against people that camp around power weapons, for example the rocket launcher. What´s fun about fantasy fps is that you fight on strange worlds with sometimes even stranger weapons and somehow it´s still a lot of fun. How about using jetpacks to ambush an enemy from the sky or become invisible for a moment to shake off a pursuer? I don´t see this happening in realistic fps and I don´t think that needs to happen, different types of fps give you the opportunity to try new things and hopefully you have fun with all of them.
In my opinion there isn´t a better fps, both realistic and fantasy fps are fun to play! I do think that Halo wins with all the different types of modes you can play in but CoD wins when it comes to that glorious zombie mode. Both type of fps have their own strengths and weaknesses, but they hold their own and they have their own group of fans. Why these fans look eachother up for some swapping of insults is beyond me, I never understand that type of behaviour. Why would you prefer to be online talking to people, who clearly just spend their time there because they have nothing better to do, instead of playing the game(s) you so furiously defend? So what if someone has a different opinion, that doesn´t make the other wrong!
