You lost me at "competitive (...) shooter", I mean it sounds nice but I hate those trend games, like zombie games were all the rage a few years ago, then online survival games with base building, now fast paced competitive shooters are THE shit, on a side note sounds like yet another mtx money making machine
Trend?? Competitive shooters have been around forever and never went away. What are you talking about
well yeah, but I've meant those hero/ability based ones, like Overwatch, Paladins or Valorant, not CS or R6 like ones, but yeah, you can argue TF2 is class/ability based
So that's just a couple of games over the past decade.
And TF2 is definitely a class-based team shooter. So was Team Fortress Classic.
What I'm saying is that zombie games, open world, and battle royals were big trends but class-based shooters have always been around. The uptick in titles after overwatch's success happened for sure, but they were still too few and far between to really be a trend
Fast paced competitive shooters were basically created by counterstrike lol, a game famously published by valve
