The FPS genre has evolved dramatically since the early 1990s. Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM laid the groundwork, introducing players to fast-paced shooting from a first-person view. Their pixelated mazes and demon-slaying action set the tone for what was to come.

Then came Half-Life, which brought storytelling and environmental design to the forefront. Multiplayer-focused titles like Quake III Arena and Counter-Strike popularized competitive FPS gameplay. Later, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare redefined the genre with cinematic realism and XP-based progression systems First person shooters.

In recent years, FPS games have merged with other genres. Destiny 2 blends FPS mechanics with MMO elements. Overwatch combines hero shooters with team-based objectives. Even Battle Royale games like Warzone and PUBG borrow heavily from FPS mechanics while introducing survival dynamics.

This evolution has made FPS one of the most diverse and dynamic genres in gaming.
