A good FPS

[sanquin]

Multiplayer: Planetside 2. It's new, it's free, and there's hundreds of other players per continent playing with you. Visuals are beautiful too. And if you don't like it, hey no harm since you didn't spend money on it.

Singleplayer: FEAR if you like a horror in your game too. Bulletstorm for a very...over the top but fun experience. Crysis/Warhead for the beautiful graphics and solid gameplay.

You should try natural selection 2.

Its an fps/rts(one player commands, rest shoot/bite/impale) with one side as aliens (the movie) style colonial marines and the other side basically being the zerg. Usually 8v8, some servers take 12v12.

Its an amazing game and its only $25.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good FPS game? It can be on any console or pc.

Any console?

GoldenEye 007 or Perfect Dark on the N64.

With a loose enough definition of FPS, give Metroid Prime a shot. Sure, it's a Metroidvania/platformer/puzzler, but there are plenty of FPS combat elements.

Another vote for Natural Selection 2.

Don't really play single player FPS games, but NS2 and PS2 have my interest for the moment, both are great although if you want different NS2 is the way to go.

Far Cry 3s sposed to be a bit of alright though, need to get that soon.

Personally, i really enjoyed Doom3 in spite of the critical response on forums like this one. It had almost everything I expected from a doom sequel minus hordes and hordes of enemies all at once, most encounters were 3 on 1 max.

 

[Emiscary]

I still have yet to get tired of shooting things in the face in Fallout New Vegas.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Far Cry 3 is out. And it's pretty good apparently.


Theres Tribes.

And theres always Painkiller. Painkiller is like a fact of nature at this point, there will always be a sequel out every year.

Upvoting Far Cry 3. Awesome locale, smart enemies, awesome plot even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel, and you indeed aren't another member of the USMC or the SAS!

I'll have to third Bulletstorm. It's fun an good-looking, and relatively creative compared to other titles in the genre

For an excellent old school shooter with a need for some serious skill to get through the harder stages, Serious Sam 3 would be right up your ally.

For something with a bit more ambiance, Bioshock and Metro 2033 are excellent, excellent games. Metro in particular being a very well done survival "horror" game, while Bioshock delivers a story that's now pretty much considered a classic.

Dead Island delivers first-person melee combat really well, which a lengthy campaign and some firearms that are much better balanced when you install a mod or two to make headshots an instant kill and ammo purchasable.

Both Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are some of the best first-person RPGs available, with the first Deus Ex being more RPG than shooter, while its sequel is much more-action oriented than the original.

Borderlands mixes the Diablo style loot system with some competent shooting mechanics, so it ends up being pretty addictive. Though the sequel appears to have much more variety in terms of landscapes and interesting characters compared to the first, so if you've money to spend, that might be the one to get.

And finally, Black Mesa is a completely free mod in which all you need is the free Source Engine off Steam, and it recreates the entirety (minus the Xen levels, but apparently its in the works) of the orignal Half-Life, and even goes so far as to mix up some of the levels around in their layout to make it feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. It's really an impressive mod, and a better "HD Remake" than most the stuff big-name companies put out.

So I've got a hankering to play an FPS game yet I don't want to play another bland military shooter.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good FPS game? It can be on any console or pc.

If you are tired of Bland Military Shooters, than I would say give Borderlands 2 a try.

Just listen to this:


WHATS NOT TO LOVE!?

 

[CityofTreez]

Dishonored
Planetside
Bioshock
Resistance
Far Cry
Metro 2033/LastLight
Deus Ex: HR
Fallout 3/NV
Half-Life
Bulletstorm
Killzone
Portal (if it counts?)
Borderlands

Most of these you can get for cheap, so that's a bonus.

 

[m19]

Half-Life
Bioshock
Bulletsorm
Metro 2033
Crysis 1&2

Star Wars: Jedi Outcast is an excellent Single Player experience and has one of the greatest level design's I've seen to boot.

Also, I saw someone recommend Star Wars: Republic Commando - take my word for it, it's a good choice.

For multiplayer, depends...
If CoD or BF is all you've played I'd recommend either Quake Arena (which for your convenience has been ported as web-based) or Counter-Strike:GO (if you prefer team-based experiences). Both of those games have been played for a long time and still have a major fallowing, for a good reason may I add.

 

[Tsaba]

I believe they have it on the 360 market place.... just one of the FPS's that makes you wonder where the hell the sequel is.

 

[deleted_by_strongbad]

My favorite fps is still Red Faction 2, the single player is interesting and challenging, controls are solid, and the fact that you can mess with the multiplayer bots ai (a bit, don't expect too much), makes them an interesting wildcard to throw in the mix.

Also, I know this brands me a traitor, but Shadowrun is pretty fun if you think of it like a weird counterstrike mod, has no single player and you can find it for cheap, I bought a copy for pc and one for xbox for $3 combined.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Borderlands 2. Tons of guns. Fast and fun gameplay. Crazy boss fights. Great art style. Pure, chaotic, awesome, fun!

Also, the story is surprisingly good.

 

[Bocaj2000]

Mass Effect
Unreal Tournament 2004
Deus Ex
Killing Floor
Cryostasis
Bioshock
Alpha Protocol
Spec Ops: the Line (military shooter, but the more you play it, the better it gets)

But my personal favorite is Condemned: Criminal Origins

Have you even looked before you posted?

 

[rob_simple]

I'd strongly recommend The Darkness II for story and general atmosphere (don't buy it at full price though; it's short as hell) and Borderlands 2 for fun and replayability.

I just picked up Crysis 2 (for free!!!), and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. The tactical possibilities opened up by the different functions of your Nanosuit add an interesting extra dimension. It doesn't feel quite as "on rails" as many other shooters do.
