10 Best Historical First-Person Shooter Video Games
5. Medal Of Honor (1999)
There is a reason why World War II games are the go-to when it comes to historical FPS games. Nothing feels as satisfying as wasting evil Nazis like a heroic liberator.
Today, games set in WWII are everywhere from shooters, strategy games, to open world and sci-fi games, but one of the first game set in the era to make such a breakthrough in the gaming market was Medal of Honor.
While it wasn’t the first WWII game, it was the first to correctly portray the war without mutants or Mecha Hitlers in first person perspective. Its multiplayer gameplay was groundbreaking and became a standard for many FPS to come. The Medal of Honor series would spawn more WWII games until it became synonymous with the genre, but its greatest influence is making WWII shooters a popular and profitable market in the video game industry.
