the best fps games ever!

[RedLister]

Id recommend Fear, Stalker and The darkness as a few other users have suggested.

Fear - Real good fun on hardest difficulty and i loved the story.

Stalker - The areas you go feel so huge and relentless keep a loaded gun on you at all times. Also there are alot of mods to mix and match things up if thats your style.

The Darkness - Problem officer? *impale*

Killzone. the fact you own a ps3 and not played Killzone is scary.

ay !

Half-Life is the greatest FPS game series ever created.

That is fact, not just opinion.

yes! I completely agree! I'm just trying to find games to play while waiting for half life 3 ; )

I just thought it was a really good game that got way less attention than it deserved.

you can probably blame Activision for that... Singularity was supposed to be released not long after Modern Warfare 2, and it was already finished. Activision decided to delay it half a year so that MW2 could rain supreme and not have as little competition as possible, which killed the hype the game had going for it.

i think if Raven Software wasnt co-developing Modern Warfare 3, the studio would have been shut down by now.

As much as I love Team Fortress 2; the most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer shooter was huddled around the TV at a friends house with three other people playing Goldeneye. A good mix of weapons and room for some really sneaky tactics. That is, if your friends were honorable and didn't peek. It even had a built in handicapping system. Have a friend that isn't very good? They get to be Oddjob! A lot of summer nights went into that game.

I'm sad to say even after all these years no game has ever really touched Goldeneye for me in terms of multiplayer. But, things have changed far too much to be able to go back and keep that magic. I think it is best that I keep those fond memories than hook up my old N64 and tarnish them.

You won't go far wrong with Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer (from the store of which you can also buy Bad Company 1 cheaply, which has a much better campaign).

 

[The Epicosity]

With singleplayer, I would go with Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, or any BiA title, they combine the FPS with RTS elements, two of my favorite genres.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

I'd say my top 5 go to;

1- Team Fortress 2
2- Bulletstorm
3- Bioshock
4- Half-Life 2
5- Metro 2033

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Halo 2 and Call of Duty 4

When I think FPS I think of multiplayer, and those are the best 2 examples of perfect multiplayer.

dues ex is a given. for modern fps, you have the metroid prime trology on the Wii. it's not on your list... you should forget all the other suggestions and get that.

PORTAL ISN'T A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER IT'S A FIRST PERSON PUZZLE-PLATFORMER

/turn off cruise control for cool

You shoot things (portals) and it is in first person. It is a fps shooter!

*beats poster to death with his own brain*

no. shut up. FPS are called FPS for being SHOOTER GAMES, with SHOOTER GAMEPLAY, in FIRST PERSON. "shooting" portals is more descriptive of PUZZLE GAMES than SHOOTERS and if it wasn't in FIRST PERSON would you still call it a SHOOTER? probably not.

/RAGE

that said timesplitters.

fucking awesome.

Also: Doom. especially Doom 3, since you fucking people have to keep bashing it for, i don't know, being the only of two games to truly value single player in an fps for most of 2004? hey, thanks for sending that message! really! and thanks for sending that message multiple times!

 

[lukemdizzle]

Half-Life series
Halo (1, 2, and reach)
Bioshock
Metroid Prime

I have not played deus ex as I have only ever owned macs so don't stone me for not including it

 

[wurrble182]

in its day, goldeneye truly was golden, in my eyes. *punnage*

this gen? im more of an RPGer so bioshock hit all the right notes for me.

Since just about everyone else suggested all the good ones, one title comes to mind that is great and very under appreciated. That game is XIII. A conspiracy mystery FPS based on a Belgian comic book series and features the voices of Adam West and David Duchovney.

Also, if it's possible, play Crysis 1. Many people would call it "generic", but those are the people who didn't understand that the suit modes could do more than was implied. I still consider it to be one of the best FPS's of this generation.

 

[Vykrel]

That would be a crying shame, they make some pretty good games. They made Quake 4, and that was pretty awesome.

ya, but they also make some not-so-great games too, and games that are decent but just dont sell... they seem to be kind of a hit and miss developer.

also, from Wikipedia: A major layoff at the company occurred in August 2009 after the failure of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the poor performance of Wolfenstein, followed by another in October 2010 after delays with Singularity.

thats not good.

Someone will problably make fun of me, but my favourites are timesplitters (future perfect), King Kong (for ps2) and Prey...

Timesplitters i loved the changes and time travelling and the hilarious action comedy in a explosion filled content that will scar a smile onto youre face...

King Kong... hey i loved fighting T-Rex... it had some parts that were boring, but the game has great mechanics and its a great game... if for example you end up withouth bullets for youre guns, youll have to resort to luck, and resources within the map... or if you find a dino that you have a hard time beating.. you could bait him (with bugs on a stick)... or even set fire to a spear and torch the fields, clearing paths, and opening youre range of view to the dangers that lurk the island...

And Prey.... hell it was portal before portal even existed.. it had winning mechanics and extremely fun to play gameplay... when i discovered about prey 2, being set on a futuristic grim world, open to exploration and with parkour elements, in wich you are a bounty hunter (wich brings me to the bobba fett awesomness), i just jumped in joy!!!

It is under the fps genre, you can "specifically" put call it under the fps sub category of fp puzzle platformer if you like...

Killzone. the fact you own a ps3 and not played Killzone is scary.

lol yeah that's what my friends say !

Killzone 2 is cheap now. You should totally worked on getting it.

 

[A Werewolf]

MAG is fun if only for its massive combat.

Failing that, I recommend Battlefield 2/Bad company 2
