Greatest FPS of Its Time

[Nolanp01]

Soldier of Fortune 2, perhaps the greatest FPS of it's time. It was an absolute gorefest with a simple storyline that kept you massacring waves and waves of enemies and feeling damn good about it too.

Sometimes being the good guy is decent. That being said, I do miss games like SF2 when they actually tried to be abusively disturbing without being comical, but at the same time, not horror.

 

[Palademon]

TimeSplitters
That is all.

 

[Sacman]

Deus Ex... That is all...

 

[Nolanp01]

Haha fair say to both. Decent games really.

 

[Steppin Razor]

DOOM.

Any other answer pales in comparison to the greatness of DOOM when it came out.

 

[Nolanp01]

Doom was fairly sweet, it occupied the vast majority of my youth in sweet blood shedding violence.

TimeSplitters 3 = Best FPS of last gen.

System Shock 2 = First FPS to give me scares beyond the 'SOMETHING JUMPS OUT' crap.

Modern Warfare 2. The hight of shooting prowess. I mean it's just so innovative and has such a deep story. Oh and the online community is great to, really geared towards teamwork and co-operation.

Modern Warfare 2 wasn't all that innovative to be honest. It was a decent game but it wasn't anything new. The storyline was alright but it wasn't all that 'new'.

Still a good game and probably is the best of its time in the case of sales and playerbase, although that being said I could easily mark any of the Half-Life based games.

Maybe i should have made my sarcasm more clear....

Aye probably. I was guessing there was a hint but the whole 2 AM time is a harsh mistress on reading TEXT BASED SARCASM. So I am now implying my currently red and dying eyes with LARGE TEXT, which makes me feel better atm.

I think you should give S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl a try I found it to be one of the scariest FPS' I've ever played...

I believe he was using something called sarcasm...

I heart TimeSplitters.

Robo-monkeys for life.

Yes, I should.

The new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a graphical beauty on a environment scale.

I wonder if anyone will post "Halo".

It's hard for me to say what the greatest shooter may be, because I think most are pretty contrived, even those I -really- enjoy.

That said, I guess I'd answer The Orange Box, if permitted. Portal is the most clever shooter, TF2 is, for me, the most enjoyable shooter, and Half Life is a pretty well-written shooter. To be a truly great game, you have to combine all three, so I think The Orange Box is the best answer.

 

[Agayek]

It depends on what you mean by "Greatest". If we're going by level of influence, the answer is Halo, hands down. It single-handedly revolutionized shooters and just about all subsequent games have taken at least one aspect from it.

If we're talking which ones were most enjoyed/highest quality, I'd say either Half-Life 2 or TimeSplitters 2. HL2 is just awesome, even today, and I spent hours upon hours upon hours playing TimeSplitters 2 with my friends.

Have you tried the 2009 complete mod for Shadow Of Chernobyl? now that's what I call beautiful it completely overhauls the engine and it looks even better than Call Of Pripyat...

 

[Strixandstones]

Timesplitters 2 was probably the best multiplayer fps, especially for those who like to play with people in the same room - simple, fast, silly and FUN. No killstreaks, no camping, more Robofish, more zombies more obscure disjointed storyline.
