The original Call of Duty. United Offensive was a fucking masterpiece. When the series stopped having the main games be PC exclusive it started to go downhill. After Modern Warfare people started copying the formula. By MW2 the bad design choicesa were cemented and the series was finished. Terrible ADS shooters have ruled the market ever since and FPS games as a whole never recovered.
There is a very small chance the new UT could bring back arena shooters but I highly doubt it.
a - No dedicated servers, auto-aim in multiplayer, focus on individual achievement and not teamwork, "first to aim is first to kill", tiny levels, questionable spawn system, forcing the pseudo-console war battles between Battlefield and Call of Duty fans, hitscan weapons with no bullet drop...
