Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.
My take on FPS can basically be summarized by this video.
Don't want to watch?
I think it's unfortunate that we categorize games largely from the perspective of the game's camera. It really doesn't tell you anything more than that.
For example, if I were to recommend games to someone who "Liked FPS" based on the general definition of FPS, that could be anything from Bioshock, to Portal, to Call of Duty, to the recent TES games. The blanket term "FPS" really isn't helpful.
More to the point of the OP,
I'll assume you mean multiplayer-centric games like Halo and COD. I don't think the more recent shooters like that have a terrible lot of appeal. It doesn't feel like any one shooter's got any definite edge or niche appeal over the other. Like they're all trying to have the same features so they can appeal to everyone, but in doing so there's not enough focus on making a truly unique experience.
