FPS dead?

agnes · 28 Jul 2025 at 10:50

I'm trying to find a decent search and destroy/team deathmatch style FPS, not a battle royale or large scale battlefield. Simply a FPS with medium/small sized maps with 6-10 players per team, similar to COD 2019.

It seems there is nothing and those that are active, are just your standard battlepass, skin slapped sloppy **** put together with negative reviews because of bugs or invasive anti cheat. Any suggestions would be awesome as from what I'm seeing, it's kind of a dead genre unless you jump into one of the few that are played by the masses such as Apex, Valorant or the current COD, which none appeal to me.

Counterstrike?

Played for decades, doesn't interest me anymore as it's either comp (through external services) or non comp which is just a mess.

Have you tried PUBG?

I know it is battle royale but have you tried it?

Extensively, hence I mentioned I'm not looking for a BR. Kind of tired of them and I don't find it fun given the variables.

Insurgency Sandstorm got everything you're looking for, very underrated imo.

Not tried it in ages! I'll give it a shot.

I actually booted CS2 up and am enjoying it enough to quench the thirst. I've played The Finals a fair amount and may jump back in. Next month looks to be good with BF6 and Arc Raiders (the latter being 3rd person, not FPS and BF6 being hit and miss given the track record of BF titles since the third).
