My perfect FPS

Being a 360 owner, I have been spoilt for first person shooting games. With Rainbox Six: Vegas 1 and 2, Gears of War, Call of Duty 4, Far Cry and the little known title Halo 3 (Go google it, it's not a bad game!) I have spent many weekends killing the boys, terrorists, aliens, ethnic minorities and so on. I simply <3 killing. Ah, murder... So delightful. Nothing quite like point blank shots to the face, or long range ones to the... face. *wipes happy tear*

 

 

Well it's safe to say I enjoy a good FPS, and even though I've played some brilliant games - I'm still yet to play my "Perfect Shooter". Sure I've fist pumped, soiled myself and cried from sheer frustration from some of these gems, but there is always room for improvement...

Destructible and interactive environment
I'm talking blowing up a wall, and the flying debris hitting you in the head. Then picking up the brick and using it as a weapon. Imagine placing some C4 under an overhang and waiting for someone to crush! Eh hehe he... Satisfying.

Playing a four player deathmatch in a jungle? Surely a jungle doesn't consist of 4 guys in cammo running around and trees. Imagine getting mauled by a leopard... Hell yeah!

Scab it up!
Why is it - that when you shoot someone, you can only take their gun, ammo or maybe a grenade if you're lucky? Screw that, I wanna steal everything they've got! Go through their pockets, steal their tags, and maybe even steal their hat! Dress as one of your foes, stroll on up, and ever-so-casually slip out a grenade. Sneaky sneaky!

 

Decent spawning
Contrary to popular belief, terrorists do not magically appear. My main fault with Vegas 2 T Hunts, is that this game isn't aware of this fact. Nor does it realise that a level containing 35 "baddies" probably shouldn't have all 35 spawn from the same points. At the start of a stage, decide where your terrorists should be. Is it so hard?
Also why is everyone so bloody ready?! All 35 characters have their guns at the ready and fully loaded. Now that's some good terrorism.

_{K, so I had more points, but this blog is already pretty wordy. (A wordy blog?! WTF?!)}

 

Little improvements and additions always make for a better experience. Don't believe me? Let me know if your girlfriend ever gets a tongue ring, becomes a pillow-fighting nurse, or decides she's feeling "adventurous". Sure these days FPS games are pretty awesome, but they're still not perfect.
