The BEST FPS game of all time [your opinoins]

[OliverTwist72]

I can't put it to you in any simpler terms either. You're telling me a game whose dated gameplay and graphics you can't stand (implied by you saying you would not think of playing it over modern games) is your favourite game. I submit to everyone else who might read this - who's making more sense here?

You're completely missing the point, and I never said I can't stand it. I can't believe I'm arguing with someone who is obviously trolling so I will let it be.

For me? Modern Fallout (3 and NV I count them as one game) and the Bioshock series. OMG they're both FPSRPGs! You can guess what I like

[sub]Oh! and Oblivion[/sub]

Chex Quest Mother fuckers.

 

[Weaver]

Half-Life 2 was my favorite.

 

[Flac00]

Marathon, at least based on the standards of games that came out then. Other than that it is a tie between Crysis, HL2 and Halo: CE

Mass Effect?

Anybody that says "Goldeneye" is total, TOTAL fail...

For my money, Half-Life is the best game ever made. There's never been anything as fresh and revolutionary as it was at the time. Following on from that, Deus Ex and System Shock 2 are two of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, so they have to be right up there.

 

[Bootbunny]

Half-Life 2 hands down.

 

[Varanfan9]

TF2. In a world of gritty realistic shooters this one dared to be funny and camp. And I love it for that. Plus Pyro is one of my favorite game characters ever. He is like a slasher villain with a flame throwers.

Old school: GoldenEye 007
New School: Modern Warfare

I actually still have GoldenEye hooked up to a tv and enjoy it more than many modern games. I happen to think it holds up remarkably well.

I've probably been ninja'd but anyway:

DOOM.

Space Invaders.

I'm going to have to go for Borderlands as the most pure fun I've had with an FPS. Gearbox got almost everything just right in the mechanics department, plus you got to melt and set fire to people in one of the most wonderful game environments I've come across.
If I had to pick the 'all-out best ever' shooter I would go for the first Bioshock, which is possibly one of my favourite games of all time and I don't usually play this genre. Not as much unadulterated fun as Borderlands but much more rewarding in other ways.
Honorable mentions to FEAR 2, Crysis Warhead and the first Modern Warfare.

 

[EscapingReality]

Half Life 2 for sure. No surprises there.

That and Left 4 Dead, and 2.

 

[Kachiporra]

System shock 2
Half life 2
Vampire the masquerade bloodlines
Call of duty 2

 

[Dsaprox]

Goldeneye or Perfect Dark

 

[Trogdor1138]

Well you said BEST rather than favourite (which is Goldeneye, still considered my personal best to me).

I'd have to say probably Half Life 2 or Timesplitters 2 in terms of best from an overall standpoint though. I haven't seen any other shooters that have matched it or been as innovative.

 

[WorldCritic]

Modern Warfare due to being unable to think of something more original.

 

[Snotnarok]

Timesplitters for pure awesome local gameplay

Bad Company 2 for amazing team fun over huge maps.

 

[Nifty]

Half Life 2 for sure. No surprises there.

This^

Great characters, great levels, great enemies, it's just about got the lot.

Though I invested the most time into skulking around in STALKER and its punishing wasteland. As far as exercises in masochism go, it's an acquired taste.

The Original HALO comes to mind...
it was just a great start, I mean, with music, gameplay mechanics, and diverse enemies...
I'm not as much of a fan of the newer games though... except for Reach
