It has been a long time since the very first shooters won the hearts of millions of gamers. Now developers are divided into those who adhere to the old canons and those who are trying to bring something new. Let’s talk about them.
Destiny 2
The project from the Banjie company became a continuation of the first part and brought a full-fledged online game with a dynamic component and active gameplay to the gaming industry.
Players choose their game class and go to conquer the game world of the distant future, divided into many planets.
The main feature of Destiny is a mixture of a full-fledged MMO with shooter mechanics, where in addition to understanding the game, dressing your character in the best armor and conquering the storyline, you also need to shoot well in order to defeat many opponents, including in PVP.
One of the key features of Destiny is the system of raids – battles with epic bosses in which you need to rally a group of players to achieve the goal.
Loners are always more difficult – they have to either team up with other players, or order destiny 2 raid carries.
CS GO
One of the most popular online shooter games.
In the scenario of the game, there is a classic confrontation between terrorists and special forces from the CS 1.6 familiar to all gamers. Players are offered a variety of game modes. Competitive and entertaining, so that every player can find a match to their liking.
Despite the seemingly identical gameplay, the game from Valve is still one of the most popular on the Steam site.
The main phenomena of popularity:
- The eSports segment and professional players who in every possible way stir up interest in the game.
- Variability and heterogeneous outcome of each round and the game as a whole.
- The visual donation system has no effect on the gameplay.
- Excitement and the ability to communicate with the team to get collective results.
PUBG
Despite the fact that the peak popularity of PUBG is already gradually subsiding, the game has made a huge contribution to the gaming industry.
The developers offered gamers a new concept – the Royal Battle.
One hundred players are thrown out of the plane on parachutes onto the game map – the city, and the task of each player is to survive and be the last one.
On the territory, there are many weapons that can be used to protect yourself and destroy opponents.
In order for players to have an incentive for constant battles, the map is regularly reduced, killing players who are outside of it. The environment is also not on the side of the player and in every possible way can contribute to death, as in the situation with artillery shelling.
Valorant
The game, which is now at the peak of popularity, is trying to push CS:GO off the leadership pedestal.
Valorant is very similar to CS:GO in many mechanics, but there are also significant differences:
The game has game characters with their own unique skills that can affect the game map – create obstacles, destroy barriers, scout the territory, blow up sections of the map and much more.
In the story, there is a team confrontation 5×5, with the installation of a bomb, which in Valorant is called a spike.
Valorant is a kind of hybrid of CS:GO and Overwatch, which definitely resonates in the hearts of gamers. It is not for nothing that tournaments are already massively held in Valorant, and many players from CS:GO to the Riot Games project.
Cal of Duty Warzone
Inspired by the success of PUBG, Call of Duty made their own battle royale with a high level of dynamics, simplified modes and an impressive set of equipment.
Call of Duty Warzone is casual, and this is what many gamers like. If PUBG was made on the game engine of Arma 2 – a well-known realistic military simulator, then the code is always about dynamic skirmishes, rapid reduction of distances and action in general.
Battlefield
The Battlefield series of games has always been famous for its team atmosphere, the battle for control of the territory, destructibility and the famous melody, which is modified with the release of each new version.
Battlefield cannot boast of strong esports fame, but is distinguished by large-scale battles between the opposing sides using various weapons, equipment and aircraft.
