I love Parodies and Timesplitters is just about perfect in my opinion, especially the final chapter. I am a fan of couch multiplayer and it doesn't get much better than the insane amount of options available in that installment. Best 15 dollars of my life.
Doom was better in every possible way I'd say.fix-the-spade said:
But the question really is one I cannot answer with a signle game.
My favorite multiplayer FPS is a tossup between Team Fortress Mega and Tribes.
My favorite single player FPS was Half-Life.
My current favorite modern FPS is Killzone 2 (And this saddens me just a bit).
Again, I have to say this is patently untrue. It was the first FPS of note, yes but that hardly makes it truly representative of the entire genre. Doom brought advances in level design (the ability to have ramps and stairs for example, something that could not be done in Wolfenstein), not to mention the ability to mod the game. Duke 3d was the first truly popular FPS to have level over level (the ability to have a room on top of or below another room), plus it featured mouse aiming and significant maneuver capability on the Z axis (i.e. jumping). Quake brought us true 3D versus the sprite based raster traced precursors, and it's flexible structure formed the basis of a mod that is still played in a number of forms today (Team Fortress). Unreal and Half-Life (they arrived at about the same time) gave us something approaching a story that carried on after the manual, the first even somewhat reasonable enemy AI, and modding communities that produced games still enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of gamers (most notably Counterstrike and Day of Defeat).MercFox1 said:
I'd say, the current game that demonstrates the entire history of advancements in shooters can probably be found in Half-Life 2, as it expresses in some form or another every trope and feature that has come before, with the possible exception of open world play (and I suppose one could argue that episode 2 has this feature packed in there, to an extent).
007 Goldeneye for the N64
There has never been or quite possibly be a better movie based game. The gunplay is solid, the amount of unlockables too numorous to count and the most satisfying multiplayer untill the Halo series. The levels were intuitively laid out the amount of customization was crazy.Did everyone think that Halo did it first well you were terribly misguided, every good idea they had was was "sampled" from Goldeneye. Its only flaw was if someone decided to use Oddjob. If you ducked and moved with him you were practically unhitable, this is tempered however by the fact that I know anyone who did this will be condemned to the deepest, darkest circle of gamming hell

Counter-Strike, w/e version really. It's hard for me to think of another game more worthy of the title, while I 'like' other games more, I can always go back to cs. The servers have been full for what, coming up to 10 years now? As far as I'm concerned, if you never played cs, you've never been a fps gamer 
You know? No matter how hard I tried, I just can't get into Team Fortress 2. I can never find a class that I like, and I simply don't like the whole "Team" aspect. I also never quite got into COD4 either, although I almost did once I started treating it like Halo and swapping out my crappy weapons for the awesome ones that my enemies have. Unfortune I got Halo 2 and 3 soon afterwards, and I stopped playing COD4 all together.
Hey, does Gears of War 2 count as an FPS? If so then I'm definitely putting that one out there! Actually, it's been a while since I last played Gears 2, maybe I sould play some tomorrow, and try to finish up the campaign.

Just because you start a genre doesn't make your videogame automatically better than something that came out later(I never implied Half Life INVENTED FPS) and it's because of the story and pacing that make it better than generic shoot em upsVigormortis said:
Well if were going on "most hours of life spent attempting to get every unlockable and angering friends" then I would have to say GoldenEye 64. If not then Bioshock or Half Life 2.
