Core FPS players seem to be constantly furious, and mostly having a bad time. They speak as if their personal experience is the only thing that exists, and make a lot of weirdly childish whining noises for people so enamoured with the idea of being a badass murdersoldier.

Luckily, there is another type of gun-based gamer who likes to throw a bit of brain into their game. They play games that contain actual tactics like Flashpoint, MAG, SOCOM, Red Orchestra etc and on average they tend to be a lot more sociable and worth getting to know.

So, personally, I'd be fine if zero core FPS players were still here. It'll be easier for the devs to tell what really needs attention without all the personal tantrums obscuring the real issues, and the player base will improve in quality overnight to the point where word of mouth will start bringing in the people looking for something a bit different.

Unfortunately, it sounds like they're going to market heavily to the former. I just hope they know what they're getting into.

Exactly what title says. How many of the FPS players still here? And before mmo players start throwing "cod" around.. pause for a bit.

COD IS NOT THE GAME THAT DEFINES YOU AS A CORE FPS. EVERY FPS PLAYER KNOWS THAT. A lot fps here came from socom, mag, planet side 2, tribes, even BF. (not 3)

This game has become a break for me from my FPS. I can slow down here. When the next great FPS comes out, I'll probably leave to conquer, and then return. Rinse and repeat.

Your giving yourself away buddy by saying "casual" and socom in same paragraph.

You gave yourself away in the very first post, TrollBoi.

You are only baiting the question with seemingly logical input until someone (@Cosgar hizself) gives you a reasonable answer. Then you devolve into a low brow attack with CAPS to prove your intellectual superiority. Unfortunately, it proves the inverse.

Angry Birds awaits you, Kitten.
