If you are into the classic battlefield games at all, maybe try Battle Bit?

Deep Rock Galactic might scratch a grindy shooty itch.
I second Deep Rock. I've recently got back into Destiny 2, which could be an option too. But it's also a lot more than a simple fps. Plus it's infuriating and addictive.
I used to be a big Destiny 2 player, but my friends (UK) and I (US) could never line up timezones for raids etc. so I used to just solo patrols and got bored with the rarity grind. I did hear the last expansion was excellent but also fuck Bungie for greedy practices. I was excited for Marathon, but that’s dropped a little.
Thanks for the suggestion, I saw DRG pop up a bunch during the Helldivers 2 drama. Is it only PVE? I’ll have a look at it.
Yup PVE only. It can be as chill or as hectic as you want depending on the difficulty you choose. Lots of upgrades, 4 unique classes, plenty of mission types, good solo or team gameplay.
I recommend giving Apex a shot. It has some really nice movement and gunplay.
Yeah this might be the direction I go, I have Titanfall 2 on Steam and played a little on the Deck and enjoyed the movement. Any suggestions as a N00B and any things to avoid?
Definitely toned down from Titanfall, but if you liked that game you'll probably like Apex too!
I would say stress about the character selection too much, you'll find characters that you enjoy more over time but abilities don't overshadow good gunplay in the game.
A few small tips:
- heal your shields before your health (most of the time). Shield items are slightly faster to use than their HP equivalents but provide the same amount of healing (e.g. shield cell = 25shields ~2 seconds to use, health pack = 25hp ~3 seconds to use)
- when you kill an enemy and they drop their death box, you can loot their shield from the box to instantly recharge some or all of your shields. It can be really helpful even in the middle of a fight or if you know another squad is coming to third-party you
- don't get too caught up looting, you'll get good stuff a lot more quickly by taking out other teams who have already looted for you
- always be aware of where your squad mates are and make sure you're close enough that you can get over and help them if need be
Best way to learn ofc is to just jump in and play some matches. Have fun!
Black Ops is fun honestly. Fuck anyone that says you should feel bad for playing something enjoyable.
Tf2 is the best war-themed hat simulator out there
