Best FPS PC Games

Well I used to play competitively, so some of the games that I list may vary in comparison to alot of other peoples opinions, but here we go:

In random order...

Wolfenstein 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
DooM
Quake
Quake 3 Arena (compeitive impact)
UT99
UT2K4 (compeitive impact)
Half Life Series
Counter Strike
Team Fortress Classic
Day of Defeat
Call of Duty 4
Battlefield 1942 w/ Dessert Combat Mod
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Normally I wouldnt put multiple games in a single series on the list (usually just the best of the series imo), but Q3 and UT2K4 were what I played in competitions and the originals are the reasons as to why I started like those types of games. The Half Life series just flat out deserves it.

The way I chose most of the games I did was either the impact that they had on the genre (or sub-genres within the FPS genre in general) and then just overall enjoyment that I personally had with them as well as noticed that my friends/others had as well.

I am currently playing warsow. I cant put it on the list as I have only been playing it for alittle over a month now, but I cant pull myself away from it. I think that if it were to ever get big enough to make it into the large competitive scene I may actually get envolved again. It trully has that much potential imo.

Will add more if anything else comes to mind.

Best,

Yeah quake 3 probs one of the best, especially with Pro mod/ CPMA whatever you wana call it.

Well, I never played ccompetitively and generally go for FPS titles that offer up innovative gameplay and fun stories. So I would list the Thief games, the first two No One Lives Forever games, HL2, Jedi Knight and Clive Barker's Undying.

My opinion?

All UT games. (a better quake version?)
Crysis (pretty good for kids )
Fear (if you are not homo)
Rainbow six (a bit realistic in dificulty, typical tom clancy work..)
GHost recon(again?)
Lost Planet (Actually is 3rd person shooting)
Quake 2 rulz (way better than the 3rd)
Shogo mobile armour division (way better than half-life.. even in graphics and i am talking about half life 1)
call of duty 1 (best version from 1 until 3)
call of duty 4 (graphics are better only)

Just to add .. starcraft ghost.. but it never came out.

Worms Armageddon rulz .. lol

gears of war tabula rasa to

Nice 7 month bump there.

Interesting...i lost interest in Stalker about halfway through and havent touched it for some months now. Might have to try and get back into it..

I've played a lot of FPS games since the first Wolfenstein in 1992.
I'll skip over the titles that everyone knows and will mention one unique and maybe less known first person shooter game that I really enjoyed: "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth". This game is a "must" for any first-person shooter gamer who likes survival horror genre!


Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (made by Bethesda during the same years when they were working on The Elder Scrolls 3: Oblivion)

+ survival horror with a nice story (player's character is a private detective)

+ sometimes you are roaming or skulking in almost complete isolation, trying to survive and stay sane; sometimes you are involved in "mass scale" intense "Call of Duty"-like gunfights or action scenarios (San Fransisco police storm a mansion, FBI forces raid a factory, the army storms some occultist mansion, a battleship and its crew defend against an attack at sea).

+ some scenes during the gameplay you'll never forget (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ord [...] re=related) <- watch 06:20 - 8:00

+ going insane when looking at gory or scary things, getting hurt or running out of bullets (blurry vision, hallucinations, shakes, character starting speaking to himself and he can even commit suicide if insanity gets to extreme)

+ somewhat realistic injury system (for example, if you get shot in the leg, you start to limp, if you fall and break your leg, you start to limp in a different way, then you need to pull out a medikit and use it, which takes 5-6 seconds)

+ some very exciting chase scenarios, somewhat like in "Call of Duty" or "Thief" games (an escape from a town on a truck or a scene in which angry mob storm a hotel where your character was spending his night and you must escape from them without any weapon through the town, bolting doors, pushing furniture, dodging bullets, hiding in shadows)

I was surprised to see a mention of Shogo: MAD, that game was really fun on multi player. I was a little disappointed it took awhile for someone to mention the Aliens Vs Predator series. Unfortunately the multi player servers were taken down, essentially ending its existence. But the memories will remain, many good times down that path.

Also, for a good laugh, try and get Blood 2: The Chosen

I like these:
CoD4
CoD WaW
Crysis (graphics)
Counter strike
Gears of War

What totally SUCKS: FAR CRY 2. Don't buy it ever.

don't forget Serious Sam 1&2 and Max Payne 1&2

I always though BF2 was good too. I liked far cry 2, cs 1.6 and crysis/warhead and turok

OK-I love FPS games and I will be 60 in June! I know I should be watching This Old House or maybe some old movies with Dean Martin in them but no, damnit, life is way too short to not learn to play some of these incredible works of art. The game makers, especially the high action game makers are some of the most highly artistic people in the world. If you have never played one of these newer games, you are really missing out big time. They are so much fun to play and they have some great puzzles to keep the mind working overtime to figure out the next move.

I have been playing FPS, or Forst Person Shooter games for about 4 years now and I am completely hooked. I will give you my opinion on the best games as well as the best place to buy them.-I have to say that without a doubt, and it's really a well known fact that amoung the FPS games, none is better than Half Life 2-It's way beyong the others in the graphics, storytelling and just pure fun. We like to rate ganes as to their replay ability. In other worlds, how certain are you that you liked the game enough to play it again. That's the mark of a good game. That's the difference between a good game and a great game.-Here is my top 5 games. These are all single player as thats all I play.

1. Half Life 2
2.Fear 1
3. Halo 1
4.Max Payne 1
5. Max Payne 2
6. Alpha Prime
7.Deux Ex
8. Call Of Duty-all
9. Doom 3
10.This one will surprise you-it did me--Call Of Juarez

If you have not yet played Call, yoy should. This is a western game that has as much great fighting action as Call Of Duty! Only difference is the weapon types but the action is non stop, the story id fantastic, the whole look of this game is simply amazing. It's all outdoors and the waterfalls and rivers and mountains are done so good it looks like you can just reach out and touch them. The voice acting is great and the graphics as well as the physics puzzles are as good as Half Life 2! In fact, this game is real long like HL2 and it is a beautiful display of many hours of work putting it together.Now, for those that are kind of new to the new games and the best way to get involved, I too had no idea on what was good or bad and where to get them.

So,if you like FPS games and don't feel like spending tons of money every month on new games, you should try mods. Mod is short for modification.

Are we on a time frame here?

because I didn't see anyone mention: No One Lives Forever 1 & 2, from 2000 and 2002 respectively.

If you didn't play them, do it. The sheer innovation and awesomeness will make you forget the old graphics. Even though I enjoy them. It's a nostalgia thing

Seriously, NOLF 1 & 2. Go get'em now.

I agree with those guys above ... whu say S.T.A.L.K.E.R is the best >>>

Most of my friends didnt like it .... most of them love Racing ... or maybe they were just too stupid to play it ....
anyways >>> the eerie dark rainy atmosphere is the best i have ever seen ... it makes you feel it is raining even when it is hot outside ...
The underground parts , radioactivity theme .... and a lot make it a true Gem in Gaming .....
Other games i truly liked would be .....

ALONE IN THE DARK 5 .... Really tense game .. You will get a terrible spine chill >> just to get your car started when those weird things are right outside your windowpane.Man sometimes really scary !

F.E.A.R 2 Project Origin : I played the older ones ... but the new one is the one which shocked me truly ..... for me >> truly the best horrifying scariest experience ever .... good graphics >>> really great sound .... and one of a kind shooting experience .... and one turn off >>> i couldnt play the game alone at night ... too damn scary !

CALL OF DUTY 4 : Battleground .... this thing totally the best of War experience ive ever had !

SPLINTER CELL Double Agent : Loved the game a lot .... completed it a lot of times ... one turn on is its difficulty sometimes .... I love hard to play games ... really movie style good storyline action game ! King of STEALTH Games !

some people might disagree with my listing of Alone in the Dark or SPLINTER CELL .... but truly they are a one of kind .... not first person shooters >>> and secondly First persons are really enjoyable when they are Survival Horror ...

DO NOT PLAY THESE EVER ...EVER :

CRYSIS Warhead ... OR (shithead)

BLACKSITE AREA 51 ... (WTF ? Midway is going to have an Alien attack soon in their studio )

HELLGATE ... The Best of the Worst RPG's ever >>>dont even go near it ... cause youll feel like hanging yourself ... for the biggest mistake youve done !! : BUYING THE FU%$ING GAME

PAINKILLER OVERDOSE ... Arhggghh ... i wasted my money *** ... better if i could buy some Painkillers before playing this game

THAT ALL : And dont forger S.T.A.L.K.E.R .. 1 & 2

Crysis warhead was great...

Crysis Warhead is great . Way too short though. At the end I get a new weapon that really brought the big boys down fast I'm thinking it's time to go back into the sphere for some payback and the game is over.

My personal all-time favorite First Person Shooter (fps) would have to be:

"Deus Ex" - one of the true originals.

A second would be "System Shock II."

Thirdly, would be "No One Lives Forever II" (Ms. Bond shows James how it's done).

Fourthly, "Half-Life I."

Fifthly, "Doom 2."


My one unfinished and quickly deleted game..."Far Cry 2." A shame really, part 1 was enjoyable.

well for me left 4 dead, counter strike, and exteel!!

loooooooooooooooooool ^^

lol honestly im always got thrilled and sometimes i dont want to comtinue to play that, sometimes i feel creepy ~

actually it totally rocks ^^

it sounds funny even though im still continuing and play this one right after playing atlantica...

playing exteel atm ^^,

this one is also fps...

yah i would probably throw crysis into there even though its a more modern game and i 100% agree with Counter-strike 1.6 especially and CoD4.

I can't wait for Alien Vs Predator 3. Never had more fun with a FPS then the AvP series.
