Anyone else bored with arena shooters?

I wouldn't call Rainbow Six or Star Wars Battlefront "arena shooters." That's more of a term I reserve for Quake and Unreal Tournament.

Agreed.

Speaking of which, that Unreal Tournament Pre-Alpha is pretty awesome.

I don't even know what an arena shooter is. Did this genre exist during the Atari days?

Combat? Berserk?

Robotron: 2084. Word. Just mentioning it makes me want to play it!

Please tell me you're being facetious. Please tell me no one released a "Pre-Alpha"... what is it? Just a flow chart of what's supposed to happen? An ALPHA release is supposed to be barely functional, people!

Me loves Unreal and I'll be damned you are right Ryan. FYI I was laughing at DB remark nothing towards you buddy.

To be fair, guys, Bone is so hardcore into older game generations, when you say FPS he thinks of Maze War.

Perhaps I could use the term "team shooters" then? Even though teamplay is unfettered in those games, even Battlefield has suffered because it's become fast-paced in recent sequels. If I have the time for it, I prefer games like Arma or Project Reality, much better teamwork offering unexpected moments.

Speaking of the Battlefront beta, it's okay I guess, and the audio is excellent as expected from Dice. But maybe I've outgrown this type of game?
