The topic lost all credibility when the term "Best Ever" was used. You really should refrain from using an absolute term for such a subjective topic.
Unless it's used, you know, subjectively.

Here's a novel idea: Next time you see an absolute term, exercise judgment.

It was a tie for me (Duke nukem 3d, mw2, and bioshock). I eventually chose bioshock for it's artistic qualities.

Borderlands

For a long time I would have said Half-Life 2...but Borderlands is simply more fun to play.

Halo 2 and Call of Duty 4.

Halo gets a bad wrap for the unbelievable morons that make-up the majority of it's community, but Halo 2 was a truly special multiplayer game.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect, which is also the best multiplayer shooter imo.
This.

Short but awesome campaign with lots of variation.
Tons of humor and still managing to have a decent story.
Arcade and Challenge modes to expand the single player experience (from zombie beheading to monkey electrocution).
Multiplayer consisting of co-op, 1-4 player split-screen and an online multiplayer.
About 150 playable characters.
A map maker.
The option to make your own missions in that map maker.
About 13 different multiplayer modes.
40+ weapons ranging from old western revolvers to futuristic pulse shotguns (and guns with secondary fire, damn, I love secondary fire).
Very decent soundtrack courtesy of Graeme Norgate.
Interesting graphical style that made everything ever so slightly cartoonish and gave characters in the cut-scenes very rich expressions.

There's not a single shooter out there that can mimic this awesomeness.

All very true, except the soundtrack part... "very decent"? - "Epic" is the correct description ;)

I've never played an FPS i havn't liked. But I'd say my favourite is going to be one of the Halo games. I'm gonna go with ODST, just because someone at bungie clearly said "Sod the profit margins, let's treat the fans to something noone else will get."

If this is best as in most influential then I understand why the majority of the options are over a decade old.

But best as in favourite, and in no particular order (can't decide between them):

James Bond 007: Nightfire - The settings and gameplay of the levels were great and varied. The story was original and satisfying. The multiplayer was great, although there was only 1 stand-out map. I had Halo: CE too but between Nightfire and Timesplitters it sat rejectedly in a corner.

Timesplitters 2 - This needs no real explanation. I played Future Perfect too.

Shadowrun - An under appreciated gem that was a commercial failure and a frustration in the sense that while you played it you knew it could have been so much better. There was a long period of time when I played nothing else; only leaving it when a large enough party called me to Gears.

Modern Warfare 2 - No other game has kept me playing for so long. I can't deny it's a great game when I see the ~300 hours played.

BulletStorm should be considered, as it's killing in an art form.

I have to go with DOOM though. How is it possible to not like that game?
