Best FPS

[LordOmnit]

ACK, I hated Half-Life 2. The episodes weren't bad but Half-Life 2 sucked.

I take issue with your half-statement and demand an explanation.

 

[Sev72]

It's down to taste, and thats that.

Half-Life 2, Portal (okay, I know there isn't much combat, but it is in the first person perspective, and you are shooting a "gun"), COD4, Left for Dead, and er....

 

[Lenny Magic]

I would say fallout 3 for best rpg/fps, team fortress 2 best multilayer fps. I must say I am really finding Painkiller to be a very awesome game at the moment. I don't really believe I've played a game before that has just dumped me in the middle of no where with about 50 angry creatures and said "go nuts!". Story isn't to great but I must admit I really don't care that much. It is a high enemy count fps, what more do you want? Shakespeare's hidden works?

 

[McGee]

It's so hard for me to decide between TF2 or HL2. I love both so goddam much.

 

[The-Big-D]

COD4
Timesplitters 2

 

[AlyxX]

Wolfenstein 3D, simply because it started the genre.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Personal prefrence is CoD4 or Left 4 Dead.

 

[Arachon]

To pull the same argument as others here: Maze War, it started the genre.

 

[Gaming_Purist]

Quake III Arena

Doom II

Fallout 3 (though not strictly an FPS)

BF2 (excusing the rego issues)

Mirrors Edge. Story was trying to be too many things at once, gameplay was innovative, and definitely a fresh look at the FPS genre.

Is that a...good thing?

No that was the one bad thing about the game.

There's always the fact that it wasn't an fps, it was a First Person Free Running Game or suchlike, it hardly even included guns and didn't really encourage their usage. i.e. trophies for 20 hand to hand kills.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

TF2 or Black

I fucking loved Black, unfortunately my copy broke and i sucked at it,

but still.

What Do You Think Is The Best FPS Out There?

Welcome to the Escapist.

Bioshock. Maybe Fallout 3. Everyone seems to love it but i'm yet to play it. It's sitting on the shelf, screaming play me.

Play it already!
CoD4. Fallout 3 is second. It would be closer, but Fallout 3 doesn't quite nail the "shooting at people outside of VATS" thing on the head.

 

[General Ken8]

I think i'm going to go with bioshock. i haven't quite beaten it yet because i have been playing COD4, but it is so addictive

 

[DrScoobs]

anything made by valve. im a valve fanboy

 

[Levaetus]

Hmm Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, Call of Duty 4, Counter Strike Source, Battlefield 2, and unfortunately Halo 3.

 

[uhgungawa]

CoD 6 ........ I want to be ahead of the curve

 

[reggin]

My personal favourites are TF2 and BF2142, but that's because I can be bad and still do good in them

Duke Nukem 3D
