Counter-Strike and PUBG are still in the top 10 most played games on Steam. CS is literally number 1.

Arma Reforger has amazing community servers that mean you can always find somewhere to hop in and have fun.

Give The Finals a try if you like gadgets, arena destruction, and fast gunplay.

It’s also free

Battlebit Remastered for some 256 player servers

In what universe is 8k players dead?

I wish any of my favorite games had numbers like that.

Squad and Squad 44 but if you think 8k players is dead then they are maybe not for you.

I love that your criteria for being dead is that you don’t like it.

It sounds like you like the large scale (32 or 64) battle FPS games, whoch are not as popular currently as they do tend into the issue you mention which is not having enough players makes matchmaking drag out happens faster than small team short round games.

I do play block ops 6 because it is one of a few cross platform games one friend enjoys. It isn’t terrible, just an average cod game, but it doesn’t have the vehicle maps like modern warfare and I kinda miss those.

I also play Helldivers 2 which is 3rd person that has first person aim down site options, although it is 4 player vs environment.

I do miss the battlefield games, they were hella fun back when I played them.

New Battlefield coming this year - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-6-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6526583/

Hell Let Loose, Squad, Insurgency, The Finals, Titanfall 2 (yes, it’s back), Space Marine 2 if you can live with third person.

idk anything about FPS’s but I know that they’re not all dead

Squad!
