FPS suggestions

[AHarvey]

I've a craving for a FPS multiplayer game but can't find my COD4 discs/code anywhere.

I used to play a lot of Battlefield 2, COD1/2 and then COD4.

I was pretty good and have been going back to COD4 whenever I get the craving but as time goes on you worry what the servers are like.

Now, COD4 is £10 on Steam so I could just get it and see what it's like or I could look at something else.

I prefer games that require more skill than gadgets. CDO4 had that balance between character tweaks, in game kill streak perks and skill that I really enjoyed. No fighting over vehicles which was always great too.

Used to play a little counterstrike in the day but don't enjoy sitting around waiting for rounds to end.

I've been out of the loop for a while so would appreciate any suggestions

I haven't found anything that is truly a substitute for COD4 and all the kids are playing these insipid battle royale games these days.

Might be worth checking out the modern Starwars Battlefront games if you can find them cheap see if they work for you.

Yeah I've been considering the new battlefront game anyway as I loved the original, and yes, this fortnite craze really isn't for me, seems like there is too much luck involved, and building walls etc while playing????

Well, I've bought COD4 again for Steam but under friends suggestions, I've also installed Apex Legends and Warframe.

Had a couple of rounds on Apex Legends despite it being battle royale, meh, not overly fussed about it. My main issue with these games is that to get better you need to practice, and to practice, you need to play a lot, but then you're stuck waiting for rounds as well as relying on strangers.

Warframe, I'm enjoying playing it solo through the storyline. Seems ok so far if a little easy.

Definitely going to look at one of the later battlefield/cod/battlefront games as well as finally installing all 3 mass effect games and playing them all through. Never finished the first but Warframe makes me think about finally playing it properly.
