The last 5 FPS's I have played are:
Halo 1,2- the flood
doom- demons
farcry- trigen
half life 2- head crab's and all that freaky alien shit

When are they going to come up with a new way to make games interesting? I mean name any non world war 2 shooter and there is a 90% chance it does the exact same thing. Even some ww2 shooters follow this plot (wolfenstein). Am I the only one who is sick of it?
You never fight normal enemies in Doom, always demons. It's just that they start off looking human (zombies).

As for the head crabs and "all that freaky alien shit" in HL2, they are all from the original game, and were in fact, the "normal" enemies. The big twist was that you also had to fight humans.

A WWI FPS is something I have been waiting for for years.
A lot of the "fighting" in WWI came down to sitting in a trench until your commanding officer told you to charge a machine gun nest, at which point everyone in your unit was gunned down. If you didn't charge, you were shot for treason by the officer, who stayed in the trenches. That sounds like a whole lot of fun
