    Wait.... Wasn't Doom 2 a single level shooter where enemies could be above or below but you just moved left and right and the game automatically shot high or low?

    How is that a "good shooting mechanic"?

    Quake 3 Arena Was the benchmark to which shooters were compared for years.

    Long live Q3A!

    Lots of enemies meant a lot of fast precision was involved (far from easy). It is one of the best established FPSs for speedrunning, be it fast finishes or max kills. I can link a website if you are interested.

    The only PC shooter I got into was Serious Sam. Loved the style of it.... Insane amount of enemies and lots and lots of ammo.

    Kyoshi, you should have provided one of these links:

    I used to play this game a lot. But moved on to more boring things...
