What are some recent Multiplayer FPS games that are similar to Halo 1, 2 and 3?

The reason I am asking this is because I used to enjoy gaming but I do not have any fun with any fps game I have tried recently, I am thinking of giving up on gaming or at least fps if I can't find something I like. Halo is what got me into FPS and instantly became one of my favorite games because the gameplay just felt right. It had skill based match making, good pacing, encouraged gun skill, discouraged camping, did not have bs killstreaks that ruin the flow of the game among many other things which I don't have the room to go in depth about. Ever since call of duty gained a vast majority following of casual players and Halo 3 lost that market after MW2 was released, the quality of all shooters decreased because they were altered to be similar to call of duty, even Halo changed, starting with halo reach.

Most games are near carbon copies of CoD because the style of gameplay draws in the masses of casual players who benefit from the "noob friendliness".

I just hate how most fps games now promote camping, have very low skill gaps, extremely fast kill times, a "perk" system, killstreaks (which further encourage camping) and instant respawns which cause a lot of problems with where players spawn. Another thing that frustrates me is "Lag compensation" which I like to call Lag "overcompensation" which only sounds good on paper, because what it actually does is give players with high pings (100ms and over) to the host an advantage which is much greater than their ping, sometimes they get as much as a whole second of compensation when their latency is less than a 1/5 of a second.

So in short, what I am looking for is an FPS game with a reasonable amount of players that has some sort of truskill or a similar system, which discourages camping, requires you to have a good aim, forces a respawn time, doesn't punish you for having a good connection, but still is fair to players with not so great of a connection. Preferably on PC, I would also like to know about any games on PS3 or upcoming on PS4 because I have been thinking about switching to playstation. I'm not too interested in Xbox games because I have grown tired of paying $60 a year for features that are done better on PC and are also free.

    certainly from my personal journey, Halo isn't that enormous...nicely not some thing previous the first pastime. each and every thing from that discuss has in reality look to me as expansions to the unique and a lot less of sequals. fairly halo 3...it type of feels mor of a Halo 2.5. Halo 3 also has topics with "pop up image" which i idea wa treated after the playstation One. in case you do not understand what they are, look it up on Google, yet stay sparkling of Halo.
