[FirmartheTrilby]

[Eisenfaust]

[Ian Murray]

Perfect Dark. It's my favorite.

This

 

[Gustav Strassberger]

It has got to be S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Immersion like no other game

 

[Cenequus]

Not a big FPS person but the ones I enjoyed alot were Quake 2(tons of time spent on laning with friends) and Counterstrike. Strange not seeing none of those titles in the options since both(Quake Live and CS 1.6)are seen as the best and most competitive FPS. As far as I know they have the biggest prize pools of all esports games. But then again this is a haven for console kiddies

 

[Veldel]

Perfect Dark for N64

 

[C95J]

Call of Duty 4 is my all time favourite.

BORDERLANDS!! its just shooty shooty fun, lots of guns and more bad guys than you could shake a stick at

 

[Veldel]

Your poll suffers from a distinct lack of Borderlands.
As for the why. Because its fun. It is not a corridor shooter. Its a nice bit set of fuckoff huge maps and I can run whereever and just do as I please.

I personaly hated borderlands >_>


it was to repeative for me


and yes i played both online and offline for stuff both bored me shitless

Halo: Combat Evolved, like it or not the game was one innovation after another. It also had an epic story, excellent graphics, an amazing single player, and the best Multiplayer around. It was also the game that really made me a gamer for life. So it has nostalgia going for it as well. If it wasn't for that, Reach would probably take my top spot.

 

[figday]

for me, a tie between Doom and Counter Strike.
Doom made me a PC gamer, and Counter Strike ate half of my life.

I loved The Chronichles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. It blends action FPS and stealth in such a unique way. It's sequel is somewhat bland.

I wouldn't class Escape from Butcher Bay as my favorite FPS, I had a lot of fun with it when I played it through. As for my own favorite FPS, I would have to say it's a mash between Halo: Combat Evolved, Borderlands, Call of Duty 4, and Doom II. I would elaborate more on why these rank among my favorites, but I would spend all night writing it! In short, each game had something unique in them that caught my eye when playing, and has stuck with me since.

Star Wars jedi outcast dark forces 2 or whatever it was called.

Why?

Because the experience of playing that game, many years ago one easter, remains unrivalled by any of today's efforts.

i'm sure technically it doesn't compare. Obviously in terms of graphics and such it won't. But that's irrelevant. What mattered was that I had fun playing it; from the title crawl with that soundtrack to me beating the final boss. It wasn't a story trying to be deep and dark with homoseuxal elvebn love scenes. It probably wasn't even a very good shooter, though the force powers were fun. It was a great game experience that every single one of today's games could learn from.

So. True.

Just played through Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, for about the 5th time. Had more fun playing that than I did during the whole of the time I spent with Half Life 2 or BioShock. Maybe my judgement is clouded by nostalgia, but to be honest who cares? I had fun, and that's what really matters with gaming. Also, swatting Stormtroopers around like flies doesn't need HD graphics to be badass.

Funny how Halo:CE isn't there.

I voted Doom, but that's just my opinion. I really liked Doom.

Halo?
Sure, it was the best the xbox had to offer, and it's not bad in of itself.
But compared to all the other FPSes on the PC, it just didn't hold a candle.
If it was released on the PC and not the xbox, it'd get a lukewarm reception at best.
I mean, the only thing it brought to the table was regenerating health and vehicles.
Everything else was pretty bland.

 

[DEAD34345]

Time-splitters 2 is my favorite, but honestly, i think it's ridiculously petty that you haven't included Halo or Cod on your list at all. You might not like them personally, but they probably are quite a few peoples favorite games, and the poll seems incredibly biased without them.

 

[Vrach]

Modern Warfare (2009).

^This if we're talking singleplayer.

For multiplayer, Battlefield: Vietnam (the original one, not the BFBC2 expansion).

 

[beddo]

I don't think that Duke Nukem 3D deserves to be in that list, Halo CE clearly had more of an impact and leaving it out seems a bit obtuse and designed to bring in arguments.

I would have to say Halo Combat Evolved but all on that list are pretty close.

 

[Throwitawaynow]

Halo, it invented the FPS.

Or maybe Counter-Strike.
