Top 5 First Person Shooters?

Just wondering what your opinion on the Top 5 First person shooters are and what are you reasons?

best also include soldier if fortune 2. absolutely fantastic. it had realism including the screen moving to simulate real life running. good range of weapons, AI were intelligent and communicated with each other and was just generally great. oh and you could also throw knives which should be in all games.

no order but

wolfenstien 3D (the first FPS shooter made...i played it every day for ages(i still play it now lol))

HL1 - all has been said...

Deus Ex - love the RPG parts of the game and its a smart clever game that mixes lots of elements together, in an excellent story line although i thought it lost a little focus at the end.

UT2004 - excellent fun great graphics and online mode is fantastic, bots are smart and difficult moreso than most players on the net.

CSS- i love this game.


Farcry doesnt make it for me, great graphics yes, the story line is crap, and whats with the mutants?

1) Wolfenstein : The Father of all FPS
2) Doom1 Doom2 : No Comment Needed
3) Quake1 : The first 3D Game

HL1 : Awesome & the first intelligent foes (Grenaaade !)
Deus Ex : Sucked as a FPS but the Character Setup was great


All other games were just "improvements" without adding anything.


Special mention : Shogo for the Robot/Human phases.

In no particular order

Half Life 1

Aliens Vs Predator II

Call Of Duty

Counterstrike Ver 1 and Day Of Defeat Ver 1.3 wasn't it? (I'm lumping these into one despite being very different games as they are mods and not strictly single player FPSs)

Chronicles of Riddick

Deus Ex

Yeah I know that's 6. Tough shit


EDIT: I'm including a controversial one here as well...... Doom ]I[. It's a shit game but.... BUT the the horror in the game while you are still not used to it is THE most effective I have ever come across. No game before or since has made me physically back away from the computer squealing like a girl.

COD 1 would come about 6 in my own opinion, COD 2 wouldnt make it in my top 10 cause of the health system and the fact i got bored around the 3rd level.

Shocked and appalled that I forgot about Operation Flashpoint.

Ah crap, I forgot F.E.A.R!!! And leave out the diablo's of the world, great games by any standard but this thread is FPS only! Otherwise I'd say command&conquer, x-wing, etc.

Well I wouldn't want to get the name of a non fps game stuck in someones head, then they buy it next time at the software store since it was on the list, and don't bother looking closely at it and then being dissapointed it's not an fps! Say that in one breath

Heres my old favorites.

Doom
Quake
Duke Nukem
Unreal Tournament
GoldenEye
Perfect Dark
Half Life
Halo
BF2
FEAR

Good Point!

RTCW
MOHAA
COD
DOOM3
HL2

I can't believe no-one has mentioned No-One Lives Forever. One of the funniest games I've ever played.

OK, it's not a true FPS, but it has guns in it

IGI 1 & 2 were woeful games.

IGI was great IGI 2 was far too HARD goddamnit, its nearly impossible ive had it since it came out and struggle past the third lvl lol...

I enjoyed the SWAT4 demo but it did not convince me to buy the full game. The gameplay is ok, the graphics are ok, the AI was so so, the lack of physics was annoying to me, the story line was....non existant (not talking just about the demo either here, my point is that the storyline for the SWAT genre is irrelevant). I did not try out the multiplayer but I do not see multi player as a game aspect per se. If an FPS sports a multiplayer option I usually experience them as two separate games (single player experience, multi player competition).

I prefer FPS's to at least excel in one of these areas, and to be up to standards for the other aspects. If games get it exactly right in at least two of the aspects while being ok in the rest then they have a chance of making it on to my list of 5.

That, and I don't like police

1) F.E.A.R , but my X800 Pro - A 64 3500 arent so happy with it
2)Half Life 2 , great story , nice graphics , cant wait for the exp. pack
I have always been a great fan
3)Far Cry , awww, cant wait till Crysis arrives gonna cost me a whole new rig to play this one.
4)SiN(If anybody remembers this, youre an oldie like me
5)Original Deus Ex , what a story, and graphics are still enjoyable, even today , but DX2 sucked.
PS ...I see alot of people like Quake 4 , but im not really a fan , played it , but was fairly dissapointed due to lack of interactivity, and i like brains in my shooters

I guess I really enjoy an RPG element in my games. While Deus Ex (my #1) has been mentioned, System Shock II ranks up there as a close number 2.

Otherwise I like the Unreal Tournament series (#3). Just a lot of "mindless" fun with great replay value.

#4 would be FarCry for me. Great gfx and wide open maps make for hella fun and lots of replay.

#5 is Painkiller and Battle out of H3ll expansion pack. Seems more like a collection of different mini-games with a common theme (the story). But man, some of the levels were just sick and tons of fun to play. Best skybox in a game I've ever played. Again, lots of replay value, especially when using the cards and unlocking new levels.

im gonna list some that have not been talked about a whole lot and think they need some credit, in no real order (except for the first one)

fear- yes!! Some AI that is less A and more I

Metal Gear Solid (all for ps and ps2)- I know that they are not fps but still they fall into the whole idea of fps blow the hell out of the bad guys, but with more tactics and a good storyline

Metroid series for game cube- has to be the best for gc

Red Faction (only the first one)- actually being able to blow the crap up that people are hid behind and the best multiplayer that’s not through the internet.

Max Payne- bullet time nothing more need be said

Mainly why I think that these are good is just bc you need more than a twitchy finger to win (well maybe not red faction), but if you get mad you can always roll in with a BFG Doom style and have fun by vaporizing the few unlucky to be in your way before you realize you only got 2 shots left, then those last few get to see the business end of a chainsaw or your left hook (had to give Doom due credit my first fps)

I know that this is for games but one thing that angers me more than anything is the valve/steam protection on Half Life 2 and that affects this game a helluva lot for me. HL2 is a great, awesome, game, but I swear I never would have given that game a chance if I knew before hand all the hoops you have to jump through just to play a game!

I live in the US, and not everybody has high speed internet me being one of them, and there is no way I’m gonna spend hours downloading updates and setting up an account just to play a game. I ended up having to wait a week after I bought the game to even start playing it, I would think that most of you could understand the frustration that boiled in me for a week while an awesome game nay two awesome games sat on my desktop and I couldn’t play them. I wanted to crowbar someone’s face in.

Not only did this valve/steam junk make me wait to play my game it seriously f***ed up my pc to the point I had to reload xp to solve installation issues with all most all other programs. And you know what that meant, having to wait another eternity to reinstall HL2 if I wanted to play it again (which by the way I haven’t). But other than that one issue that makes me think Duck Hunt a better FPS, It’s a great game.

1: America's Army
2: COD2
3: Desert Combat
4: BF2
5: HL2

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned GoldenEye.

My Top 5:

Half-Life 1 -- Best in Show. Terrifying, exhilarating, and unforgettable.

GoldenEye -- I still waste hours on this game today. Probably the best movie adaptation ever, FPS or otherwise.

Call of Duty -- Left me shell-shocked, quite frankly. The gold standard for WWII games.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay -- My favorite Xbox game. Ridiculously good visuals and superb game play.

Wolfenstein -- The original gansta. I nearly failed out of college freshman year because of this game.

Hmm, I'm going to go with some non-mainstream ones.

1)System Sock
2)System Shock 2
3)Deus Ex
4)Thief
5)Half Life

yeh, i have to decide:

realism/graphics:
CoD4
CSS

sci-fi future
halo 1,2,3
half life


MODS 4 life (oh yeah!!!!)
CS CZ
CS 1.6
Wolfenstien

Someone has at last said system Shock!!!! LOL
