Have you tried strategy games? Sounds like that's what your after. Hordes of units acting on their own with minimal input required from you. You know maybe we should remove the players altogether and just sit down and watch a simulation.

So that's your criteria for what should be in the game: "Has to have maximum input by the player". Wow, how not interesting.

We can all float around, drop out of the sky, bunny hop around each other showing off leet skillz under no context whatsoever other than Capture The Flag. Weeeee. How interesting. Weeeee.

Other games where you float around and spawn stuff under no context whatsoever: Gary's Mod. Weeeeee.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you but putting down a turret doesn't add any context.

Context = Defense, Area Denial, Fieldworks. An alternative tactic to Frontal Sssault, which is all you can do in a FPS game these days.

Context in your typical FPS game: Capture The Flag. Ooooh. Whoopy fricking do, go defend the flag, OOOoooh. Been there done that.

A player can perform all of those turret functions plus movement. Turns out its many times more complex that way.

Your the one that brought up a flag. Turrets neither add nor remove game objectives.
