Welcome to FOV 90, an FPS column from staff writer Morgan Park. Every other week, I cover topics relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new.
Welcome back to a special election day edition of FOV 90, the only FPS column that insists American readers vote twice today—first on important videogame matters right here, then on crucial *gestures at everything else* matters at your designated polling place.
Today we return from a totally planned hiatus, during which the PC Gamer community settled both the best RTS unit and best horror games, to dispute an issue of far greater significance: The greatest FPS mode of all time. Round 2's matchups reflected an enthusiasm for classic team-based formats with a respectable turnout as well for modern arrivals like Battle Royale. I asked you to make some tough calls and you showed up.
Over 2,500 votes were cast across Round 2 matchups, and the results are in.
A decisive victory in each contest. Every mode I voted for came out on top, which I honestly didn't expect. Sure, TDM over Battle Royale makes sense, but an 82% majority tells me that the most popular shooter format of today has not usurped the classics among PC Gamer readers (same). But even so, this is where I expected Conquest (a chaotic fight over territory) to accept a humble defeat to Bomb Defusal (the gold standard of competitive PvP). I'm glad I was wrong!
