How I would create a game to troll 90% of FPS players

[Sigma Van Lockheart]

Sounds and aweful lot like counter strik.

Numbers 1,2,3,5,6,7,8 describe Halo.

Well ok, Halo does have an assault rifle, but it sucks ass and doesn't hold a candle to the burst/semi auto weapons. And yeah, sure, Halo does have a 1 button melee, but the melee isn't an instant kill unless using a melee weapon so it counts.

Melee is an instant kill if you come from behind. Which, because of how big all the maps are and the non existence of a 'front line' where most of the fighting takes place, means it is quite easy to sneak up on someone if you don't fire at them (so you don't appear on radar).

And there's the ever wonderful 1-2 of shotgun blast then melee, which is generally instant kill. Since the melee hit can be used during the shotgun cooldown, it's effectively an instant kill, as it happens so quickly most players can't respond to it in time.

So, you would create TF2?

No seriously, every single one of your points is a part of TF2. Every single one, right down to the obscure and imaginary weapons.

If I didn't know better i'd say you just took a list of things you like in TF2 and wrote them down as things all shooters should do...

And I was just about to say this. It's a shame that I can't find a server where everyone seems to have a brain since it went F2P.

One thing I should've realised earlier but didn't until getting Resistance: Burning Skies the other day, is that they're all so SLOW. I mean, seriously, what happened to Quake 3 ultra fast, ultra frantic gameplay?

 

[RagTagBand]

So you'd make an FPS from 10 years ago? How exactly would that "Troll" FPS players?

You understand that "Slightly annoy a small portion of people" isn't trolling, right?

 

[Alcamonic]

Make Half-Life 3. With a nice trailer and all.
Only, when you boot it up it's just an infinite replay of Gabe doing a trollface.

 

[Nouw]

I'm fairly sure the TF2/CS/Halo community make up more than 10% of FPS players.

Its in Tribes: Ascend

You haven't played much Halo have you? Shooting your gun doesn't make you appear on radar, MOVING does. How often are you going to be able to crouch-walk up to someone who is constantly running at a full gait? Not very.

Melee kills from behind are a one hit kill because they person would have died either way unless they pulled a miracle out of their ass.

make the fire button on the left trigger or right mouse button

 

[Fisher321]

About the auto aim, on console we have to have a small amount of aim assist, its way too hard to use an analog without auto aim. To prove my point try to teamkill in Reach or Halo 3, super hard.

 

[repeating integers]

Yeah, you do sound bitter. But play TF2, Halo, and Counter-Strike.

Oh god that would drive me crazy... I'm so OCD about my key assignments that I spazzed out when I mixed up the slots for shovels and axes in minecraft...

 

[teebeeohh]

you just described tf2, UT and Q3.
well UT and Q3 have fully automatic weapons but those either suck or are miniguns.

 

[TilMorrow]

An FPS game that trolls it's players? CS:GO

[Trippy Turtle]

You would take out the bits that make the game fast paced? Maybe you should just find a slower paced game.

 

[Easton Dark]

Wait, uh...

Serious Sam?

Serious Sam goes along with TF2/CS/Halo that totally fits your criteria.

Yup. Some people seem to forget that the FPS genre isn't solely filled with arcade modern combat shooter. It's apparently just cool to complain about how the FPS genre is soooo monotous and stale with aaaall it's gray and brown graphics. Please...

I thought the average FPS player trolled themselves, to be honest. From what I gather, they pay money for roughly the same game over and over, play pretty much just the multiplayer where they are not only sprayed with idiocy, bigotry, and swears, but often indulge in it themselves because the game (Or maybe just the other players seeking the cheapest, the-game-telling-me-I-don't-suck-at-the-end-is-all-that-matters tactics they can find) pisses them off so much.
Sounds like self-flagellation to me.
