Well my first reply to the shooters was a thorough answer and down to specifics, but since my ignorant self hit the back button and lost everything this one will be brief... Ghost recon advanced warfighter and socom confrontation are the only shooters which u actually lost rank if u got slapped around. Call of booty, battlefailure, and modern camping, just signafied that you was either a kid or u didn't have a job with rank. Obvious reasons those games were hits because anyone could play it. Wasn't about skill, just time. So whenever I hear some gamer squawking about his 44 prestige rank I'm wondering if He lives n his moms basement or freeloading off a women who has 2 jobs and kids too. I'm 46 and have been gaming since Atari 2600, coleco, intellevision, 3DO, etc.. If there are any shooter developers reading this at all just give me an opportunity to tell u how u could wipe all of these " Franchise" shooters off the grid. Graw was probably single handedly the greatest game of options in shooter history. Pistols only, in the dark, no friendly fire, no friend identifiers, 5v1, 8v8, or you could even have a squad vs A. I. if u wanted to. Last man standing, time limit, sharpshooter, capture, etc etc etc.... These games today are all about graphics and no gameplay. Tom Clancy is prime example. I'm very passionate to shooters because I lived for that on a daily basis going to work on 4 hrs sleep just to rush home and do it again. We'll be glad u didn't have to read the first one that got erased because it was far more in depth about these shooters today
