Recommend me any decent FPS out there.

I have an old pc, that can barely run Bioshock on Low without getting Frame Rate issues, so keep that in mind. I don't care if the game is scary, or hard, or anything, really, as long as I get to shoot some stuff.

(I've played HL2 and both episodes, Bioshock (Duh), Borderlands, Fallout 3 (Though it hardly is an FPS), L4D 1 and 2, Postal 2, and I have Team Fortress 2)

System Shock 2, The Void, Pathologic, Thief series, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Battlefield 2, Cryostasis, Doom series, Quake series, Duke Nukem 3D, Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth, Serious Sam series, Far Cry, Call of Duty 1-4, etc, etc.

stalker, doom 3, amnesia (you count portal so amnesia is not far off), bad company 2, cod 1&2&4 and garry's mod.

Counter-Strike (Source). Get Source if your computer will run it (and I think it will). To be honest I don't know how well it stacks up against the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises, but I just like how it plays.

Halo: Combat Evolved.

Amazing.

I guess Doom 3 would still work on high settings, so it might be something. I'm not sure if I can recomend it though. I bought it when it was just released, and I was a kid that had just gotten into shooting games because everybody who was something played Counter-Strike. Didn't realise it was a horror shooter until the first zombie appeared right before my eyes and damn did it scare me shitless.
Since then I've played it a few times(last time was at least three years ago though) but only managed to continue for about 15 minutes. Still, as an FPS it's great.

Disagree. World at War was actually a really good entry in the series and marks the point that Treyarch started making games almost of the same quality as IW. I dont really understand why people discredit this game, its one of my favorite Call of Dutys

System shock. The first F.E.A.R and the first halo.

I never really understood the hate that World at War gets, besides the whole "ewwww, WWII, we want modern!".

People say things like "WWII has been done to death", but it really hasn't there are still plenty of areas to explore. World at War was the first CoD to explore the Pacific Campaign, yeah sure it wasn't the first FPS, but it was the first CoD nonetheless.

I found the game fun, some of the characters were likeable and had some good lines and the missions were generally fun (Black Cats).

Plus, there's zombies.

because if you played W@W AFTER CoD4, you noticed the big difference in quality, even the shooting mechanic was not as ..well..not as infinity ward. To me W@W looked and played like a step back from CoD4, which put me off. I want each new itteration of a series to atleast have minor improvements over its predecessor. So i didnt enjoy it as much, my whole time through i kept thinking, why isnt everything as sharp as CoD4? the shooting isnt as sharp, the movement isnt as smooth. The animations arnt as smooth. After CoD 4, i didnt see a reason to play an inferior call of duty. And treyarch ARE inferior to Infinity Ward, lets not kid ourselves.

Thats why id say Play CoD4, then MW2, then Black Ops, Black ops story was great, and the gameplay close enough to MW2s engine to make me not feel as above.
