Will arena shooters ever make a comeback?

>Will arena shooters ever make a comeback?
no, never
it requires too much mental energy and has not enough pointless bullshit like microtransactions baked into the gameplay and treadmill chores

Uncs refuse to acknowledge they aren't that fun and get stale fast

No. They and multiplayer shooters in general have been perfected by TF2. Enjoy entropy.

Arena style shooters will only come back if they embrace less serious and team based modes instead of just going all in on hardcore compslop - the audience for which is a dwindling number of extremely autistic players who haven't stopped playing Quake 3 since 1999 and will never try anything else.
You need grapple shenanigans, weird and retarded powerups, and maps that are fun instead scientifically engineered for how compfags play.
You need a proper campaign and multiplayer bots so people can learn how to actually move and shoot before getting buttraped online.
You need mod support and a healthy, gatekept community that keeps mentally ill people away.
It's never going to happen.

considering 99% of all shooters these days cater to console shitters and have crossplay and aim assist baked in automatically, no it won't.

No. It was a place in time, you can't take gaming back to being a hardcore thing for a select few. It is now THE normie thing to do. People waste more time gaming than anything

Like this retard who thinks he "plays video games" but is really at the level of a rat, pushing little levers to make rank and exp and quest bars fill up.

Not an "arena" shooter

It will never matter the skill differential will always be too big for today's kids. They will never come back

Need in-game voice chat as well. Nobody wants to join a discord for their specific lobby just to communicate about all the retarded shit that's happening

Quake 3 had in game voice chat in 1999 anon. Half life did in 2000 after an update
