the problem with "contemporary" setting
the problem with military fps game time periods is that the time period from the original cod modern warfare game when the military technology was ideal for fps games is over but it does not have a name but is just labled as contemporary but when videogame developers do a contemporary settings game they feel obliged to add a variety of robotic systems because this is how contemporary warfare is actually fought but using these is not the classic military fps gameplay people like. a solution developers do is setting the games in the time periods before the modern warfare period that is labled as past like the cold war 80s period. but this period offers less weapons and vehicles and tools then the modern warfare era that was the peak of human centered warfare where all thechnology as to aid the human operator doing the shooting. a solution would be to just aknowledge the irak/ afganistan war era as a seperate time period and place games deliberately in it. instead of "contemporary" or "near future" setting
