Say what you will about First Person Shooter games all being the fucking same, what with their half-assed story modes and FAR too much emphasis on the multiplayer side, but Halo 1, and 2 had both going for them. God I miss classic Halo 2 multiplayer more than any shooter game. Glad to see people working on a project to bring it back: http://www.h2v.online/
I normally hate the hell out of FPS's (believe me, I hate FPS's), but all I ever want out of a shooter is a solid singleplayer experience, is that too hard to ask out of modern FPS's? At least Doom 2016 gave me what I craved since Halo 2 - a solid singleplayer experience. None of that stupid emphasis on multiplayer, DLC, Map Packs, and pre-order garbage.

Borderlands, yeah, I can agree with. It was a fun RPG-Shooter game and it had a pretty interesting Telltale game based off of the series. But, other than that I can never find myself finishing the games because when I hit the 70% mark of the game I just stop, for one reason or another. Possibly because of how tedious it got at points.
But, the thing is I don't play FPS's, they are my least played genre, however they did have some pretty good shooters, like the original Halo, Halo 2, Goldeneye, Time Splitters original Doom 1 and 2 as well as Doom 2016. All of which were solid on their own merits, without multiplayer being shoved down our throats.

Ye. Give Wolfenstein: The New Order a shot then. They didn't even tack on a Multiplayer for that game.
Also I'm not the biggest fan of the genre myself either. But it's msotly since it's a mostly online one these days and I'm not really a fan of online games etc. ((I say knowing full well I play LoL... though barely anymore.)) -
Sounds like something I'd need to look into. The thing is I don't mind FPS multiplayer, so long as it's done right and it's not irritating like CoD and even like Halo 4 and on. To where it's so mindless and the developers only care about pushing the multiplayer aspect of those games to high-hell with day one DLC, pre-order bonuses before the game is even announced (which is fucking infuriating in its own right) and making the singleplayer pretty much barren and dull.
Halo 2 had a pretty solid multiplayer that I really miss to this day as well as having a singleplayer that was very fun and had a story that I actually cared about. But, if an FPS can deliver to me a solid singleplayer experience (because I'm not holding my breath that any FPS multiplayer will be good, unless it's a standalone game like TF2, Overwatch, etc) then I'll play it.
