Operation Flashpoint 1 (not 2 - it's way too easy), ArmA, Rainbow Six (Raven Shieldd Rouge, Spear and it's derivatives. And not Vegas - even on Realistic it was fairly easy). That's all I can think of at the moment.

the first Quake i struggled with. i was trying it on the saturn though, with dodgy controls.
other than that Halo 1 on Legendary definatly. and WAW was too terrible for me to even bother trying fully on Veteren

Either I really suck at all of the Rainbow Six games, or they're just pointlessly difficult.

Gears of War 2 on insane no co-op.
I actually found it surprisingly easy for the hardest difficulty. I was just about to complete it too when I had to give it back.
Overall, yes you are right. Those Locust keep running into my bullets no matter how hard i set it. But the game is amazingly CHEAP! 2 hits from a Troika and your dead. 3 shoves from a Reever or 2 Nemecysts hits on Betty and your dead. 2 smacks from a Wretch and your dead. So its not that the enemies get harder, it that you get squishier. which makes the game more difficult to get through.
Maybe I just need to learn how to use the damn sniper rifle and stop running into the mix shotty in hand Leeroy Jenkins style.

Rainbow six vegas 2? No way thats not hard
Same goes Gears of war (both games)

Im not trying to look all badass at FPSes, im not. But those weren't hard if you ask me.

Doom 2 on Nightmare.

Enemies re-spawn all the time and it only takes a few shots from the basic grunts before you fall dead.

CoD4 on veteran. Try something like 'One shot one kill', 'Heat' or 'No fighting in the war room' and you'll be throwing your controller about in no time. I found the mile high club a piece of piss compared to those levels tbh.

Crysis on Delta
Hah, not a chance^^ you can still beat the entire game by sniping from afar.

My suggestion; Half-life 1 on hard, the first marines you encounter can take 4 shotgun shots up close to the head. I never made it much fartherxD

F.E.A.R. 1 on extreme. No regenerating health, and some of the best enemy a.i. of any fps = I never beat it. (and this is coming from someone who does not feel like they have beaten a game until they have beaten it on the hardest difficulty) Not only is it hard it will also scare the shit out of you sometimes if you play at night with the lights off.

By the way I'm not saying this is the hardest shooter ever, just the hardest I've ever played.

Nah Half life isnt too bad. For me it will always be the doom games.

Either Black on hardest difficulty or Gears of War 1 on insane without coop.
Gears of War is third person not a FPS but i agree.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with Oblivion Lost on the hardest setting is almost impossible tbh.
It was the only way to play Oblivion Lost imo. They fixed the iron sight aiming to be near pinpoint accurate compared to the original game, so shooting was too easy. I sniped my way through the entire Red Forest area without being hit once. Only until Chernobyl NPP was the game exceedingly tough.

Get your hands on some of the more powerfull weapons. A little boltok, torgue bow, boomer or sniper ammo goes a long way.

The original ghost recon and rainbow six games were incredibly difficult, oh how I miss them.
Yup I can totally agree on Ghost Recon and the expansions for it. Even on easy, if your character gets shot they move slower and their eyesight gets blurry. And the fact that they stay wounded for a couple of levels was insane. Really the only way you can get through it easily is if you have one of the sniper specialists in the squad. Eventually I got to a point where I could just have all specialists in my squad and then things got easier. But I have to commend the company for their realism. Incidentally, does anyone know what happened to Red Storm?

I'll agree with Doom 1 + 2
Doing S.W.A.T without having to use lethal force at any point was bloody tricky
Although I found Half Life on it's Hard difficulty tricky, but I think that was because I tried to do it using the minimum ammount of ammo for each situation and relaoding everytime I lost any health/H.E.V suit.

EDIT: And yes Op Flash 1 (2 was too easy) and the 2 ARMA games are ridiculously tricky

Wolfand-I'd have to say Bioshock on Hard. Now not the hardest thing, but it deffinatly got annoying as fuck when you go, get owned by a daddy, respawn, find the daddy, get owned again, lather, rinse, repeat.
Yuki-pshtt that was easy, what WAS hard was 007 Goldeneye on "00" mode. THAT'S hard
