Poll: Best First-person Shooter

[Iwata]

I must also admit that I recently replayed Wolfenstein 3D, and it's lost none of its charm. It certainly still ranks as one of my favorites.

Halo: Reach.

Its the only mulitplayer FPS that allows me to use a jet pack, fire a rocket at someone, whip out a gravity hammer as I am falling, smack them and send their corpse team rocket style out of here, and land in the middle of intense battle.

Also map editers

I'd say my favourite FPS would go to Bulletstorm. It's probably one of the most unique and interesting shooters I have played in a long time.

 

[Fuhrlock]

Not sure why you would put a poll with only 4 choices and not even an 'other' option, especially when one of those options was medal of honour (seriously am I the only one surprised that franchise lasted so long).

Anyway my top FPS would either be Timesplitters 2 or Future Perfect because of its fast pace, the huge weapon variety and settings, the huge multiplayer character roster and a pretty good map creation tool. Oh and damn were those games tongue in cheek (especially future perfect), something lacking in alot of modern shooters.

 

[distortedreality]

Fail poll is absolute fail.

Most time spent in an FPS for me would be CSS, so i'll go with that.

 

[Muspelheim]

ArmA 2.
Metro 2033.
Team Fortress 2.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Left 4 Dead.

Think those are my favourites.

 

[zombieshark6666]

Probably a Rainbow 6 game or something on PC I haven't played. Looks like your poll only shows the joke answers, btw.

 

[DEAD34345]

Halo'd be my personal choice, the amount of hours I've wasted in both the singleplayer and the multiplayer of that series is probably astronomical, and I still find it fun. I can also pretty much guarantee that the most common choice on this particular site will be Half Life 2.

Why are neither of these in the poll? It's not like you ran out of space, and I find it difficult to believe they were the only 4 you could think of (although I could be wrong, of course). It just makes the results seem kind of pointless.

 

[Wayneguard]

For single player, undoubtedly Deus Ex. So far an away Deus Ex. For multiplayer, I really liked TF2. Before TF2, I would have said UT99.

This is probably hilariously the only time I've seen a poll thread that has more responses than it does poll answers. OP, you dun goofed at making those options. Where's Halo? Killzone? Resistance? Star Wars: Dark Forces? Doom? Quake? Borderlands? The Darkness? Star Wars: Republic Commando? Deus Ex? System Shock/Bioshock? Half-Life? Portal? Left 4 Dead? Serious Sam? Duke Nukem? Wolfenstein? Team Fortress? Counter-Strike? Crysis? Far Cry? Unreal Tournament? Metro 2033? S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Timesplitters? Heretic? Hexen? Or at least an "Other" option so people who want to pick those, can.
EDIT: There are a lot of first-person shooters, man. I even forgot Tom Clancy's Assorted Games, which is something like three or four different series', Star Trek Elite Force, and F.E.A.R. Or how about Shadowcaster, which is probably a game that nobody on this website will remember even if they've heard of it? Though I guess that's more RPG and less shooter... well, Fallout 3/New Vegas too then.

As for myself, dunno what I'd be able to pick. Maybe Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Crysis 2. Or maybe the Halo series as a whole, or the Star Wars: Dark Forces series (from Dark Forces to Jedi Academy, of course).

 

[Busdriver580]

I'm a big fan of really atmospheric shooters like STALKER and Metro, but i also like extremely fast paced twitchy stuff like Unreal 2k4. I tend to not really like any of the poll options, since they all fall somewhere in between.

 

[FunKing]

That's a tough one. I'll throw out some that have stood out for me.

XIII
Star Trek Elite Force (and EF 2)
Quake
Half Life 2 Episode 2
Deus Ex
Serious Sam The Second Encounter
Metro 2033
Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast

If it was on the Quake 3 engine it was generally a blast to play.

This good sir certinatly knows his shit. I'd like to add a few though:
Quake 2
Deus EX Human Revolution
Killzone 2 is fucking cool
Counter Strike
F.E.A.R. the first one that is
Unreal, 2, Tournament, 2004
Star Wars Republic Commando
Left 4 Dead 2

lol ok these 2 lists together make a very fine list. I really miss playing Star Trek Elite Force

 

[scorptatious]

Well seeing as how I've never played any of the games listed, I'll just list my favorites(in no particular order):

Team Fortress 2
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (If it counts)
Halo 1-3
Left 4 Dead 1 and 2

... I can't really think of anything else at the moment. I'll probably return when I remember other FPS's I really liked.

 

[JasonKaotic]

Oo, people are making lists of their favourites. Mine are, in no real order:

BioShock
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Doom
Unreal Championship 1 & 2 and Unreal Tournament 3
Alien Trilogy
Halo

 

[Bobic]

I know you couldn't put every shooter on there, but did you really have to stop at four? 3 of which being so similar? Really?

 

[natster43]

Either Battlefield or TF2. Also there are more than 4 FPS'.

 

[Kargathia]

Even though there have been many, many shooters throughout the years I've really enjoyed, I'm going to go with Counter Strike 1.6 here.

There hasn't really been any other shooter so far that has been that close to perfection in whatever style it was going for.

 

[Jegsimmons]

I could have sworn there were more than four FPS games...

OT: Halo series. Love the universe and the multiplayer is always a blast.

agreed, Halo trumps them in replay value and overall a near infinite amount of crazy shit to do.
also the games look beautiful and has color other than a piss spectrum of brown to shades of grey.

Half-life is either a second or a tie for first.
