Kind of off topic, but I've really lost interest in a lot of "traditional" FPS games like CS and even CoD over the course of lockdown. Myself and my friends who played Halo for years have since migrated to more tactical and realistic games like Arma and Escape from Tarkov. EFT especially offers a lot more depth than these types of games. CS just felt formulaic after a while and there was an element of discovery that was missing. EFT is still in Beta and this analysis would be pretty cool to see for that eventually (site is gorgeous btw), though there's a lot more weapons combinations available in that game.

Maybe it's part of getting older, and if we're still going to play video games they need to be more of an extreme technical challenge for them to be fun for us.

CSGO feels “solved” in a lot of ways, with regards to tactics and the meta-game. EFT and similar games have a lot more churn with regards to the meta.

I wish that the big studios would find a market for games with more depth. There is soooo room for innovation! Imagine what a AAA budget could do for a game like EFT.

I wonder if the churn in EFT is partially introduced by the wipes. In some ways I hope they keep that feature around when the game actually launches. Forces players to really experiment and try new things, plus there's a skin in the game factor with risk you take bringing in top shelf gear to a raid.

I'm making an FPS game right now that is comparatively an extreme technical challenge for players. You're a first person tentacle monster with a mechanical typewriter, and the words in your heart, as your weapon.

No multiplayer planned yet (besides what people can do with copy/paste and email) need to carve the niche first.

If you liked OW or UT (or any arena fps), maybe you would like Quake(and 2 and 3), Openarena, Xonotic, Sauerbraten or Assault Cube. Those are nearly free these days ;) (at least the online part). Maybe not current AAA quality, but nothing better than the raw speed and fraggin everything you can see (and where the crosshair sees it) with no waits and respawning every time...

Seriously, try one of them. Sauer or xonotic would be a nice start. They are open source too,
