Because 3 out of 4 are COD-like games. Unfortunately. Because soon all games play the same if everyone goes with the masses.
The reason ET is different to other games to me is the adrenaline running in my veins. The shaking of my body for trying to push myself further and further (in strafejumping too, not only shooting). It’s the speed and the way I can control the player (yes unrealistic). The smoothness of everything (am not talking about FPS/ping). The simplicity, nothing else than what is needed for the game is there.
To me that class system is not a major factor. It’s the other things that makes ET ET to me. As I said earlier, I want a new ET, not CODet. Don’t you realise that if you add those things in it, it’s like any other game.
And btw, I do play modern games. I liked those games I’ve played through. I liked the features in those games. But I LOVE ET. ET is an old game. ET works perfectly as it is. Putting things things as not being able to shoot while sprinting and ironsight into ET, would be ET no more. I don’t need a new random game.
