Well, it seems to be your most common answer in this thread so far.

But disregard me.

It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.

Well brushing off Doom/Quake and their clones when you ask for a stereotypical Western FPS is rather strange because those are the stereotype of Western FPS games.

Plus, while Renegade's Single-Player campaign is a tad stereotypical of FPS games, the Multiplayer C&C mode is what sets it apart (and creates the CNCFPS sub-genre-thingy).

Yeah, you won't get better answers than Doom and Quake.

Honestly, part of the reasoning behind this thread is to show you guys that I'm not as stereotypical as you guys tend to think. Think about that for a while.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I appreciate your shot at dispelling preconceived misconceptions about yourself, but I'm not sure if that's the necessarily the problem.

The real problem here is that most of your responses make you come off as kind of a dismissive jackass.

No offense.

Turok, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark. If you don't mind primitive FPS, there's also Bloodshot (aka Battle Frenzy) and Zero Tolerance on Sega Megadrive.

Oh, there's also Alien Trilogy on PS 1 and Saturn that's pretty nice, and I've never played it, but there's also Alien VS Predator, which is considered the best game on Atari Jaguar.

A question especially for rallyfan: Is there any way for a WWII European Theater FPS to NOT be Western or stereotypical?

Singularity? I thought it was pretty good. Also, Painkiller. Painkiller is the shit.

Oh, and the new Medal of Honor is stupidly short. Don't buy it for the single player. I played some of the multiplayer too, and that wasn't anything to get excited about either.

Seems like you're failing badly then.

Multiplayer classic FPS like CS should work for you, assuming you don't go all Stop Having Fun Gu-- wait.

You're trying too hard to prove you're not stereotypical, and basically, it's not working. Now you're just stereotypical, and you come across as a dumbass.

^^ Wii FPS = Waggle for aiming. I tried it in Medal Of Honor Heroes 2 and didn't like it.

Huh. For me, aiming with a Wii remote felt ten times more natural than using dual analog sticks.

If you don't like the point-to-aim system for Goldeneye, though, you can always use the classic controller.
