Poll: Best FPS ever?

[Ilikemilkshake]

the battlefield series is probably my favourite, i like the team based aspect of it, as opposed to CODs k/d ratio based gameplay

The first Quake, no contest.

Tie between Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Call of Duty 4, and Halo 2 (good Lord.)

 

[Ranchcroutons]

glad to see all the half-life 2 love. I feel like it isn't appreciated nearly as much these days. All these kids wanna talk about are their Halos and Call of Dutys

UT99, that was the game that got me hook up into FPS more than 10 years ago and is still awesome to play.

 

[Chris646]

My favorite FPS is either Portal or Minecraft.

 

[Cj Vanek]

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

HELL YEAH!

Awesome game!
Why no PC version?
Very shameful.

I was just about to say this, I've been looking for a new copy for about 5 months now since mine broke... That game was amazing!

The first Quake, no contest.

Yeah, in the vein of Metallica's The Black Album, they should have just called it "The Brown Game". Quake made Gears of War look like a rainbow exploded on your screen, for crying out loud. Plus, I never liked the weapons in that game.

Hell, here's an arbitrary rule: no FPS can be truly great unless it has at least one scoped weapon in it. Rule 2: games which let you add scopes to a variety of weapons (Rainbow Six, Crysis) get an automatic bonus.

So it can't be great if the graphics aren't extremely appealing? I agree that it's a brown blob of dirt, but the feeling in Quake 1 has yet to be toppled by any game.
Besides, since when was this thread not about opinions?

Scopes are the cancer that is killing the FPS genre for me. I can't stand Camper Strike or Modern Warfare because of all the sitting around with a scoped rifle. The only game I really liked that even contains a sniper rifle is the first Unreal Tournament, and trust me when I say it was NOT great because of the sniper rifle.

The only FPS's i've ever liked are Halo 1, 2, 3 & Reach so I guess 2 or 3 was best...

My personal favorite is Modern Warfare 1, but to be honest I haven't really played enough of the older games to make a very informed choice... I'm working on that.
Cod4 is still a fantastic game though.

Hands down Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Easily my favorite game of all time and the only game I can think of with a heat-seeking burst-fire rocket launcher.

 

[ACDCFAN1992]

Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2

 

[Brown Cap]

I'm surprised Call of Duty wasn't included, even though that isn't my vote. My Vote is the orignal PC Farcry. The explosions, humvees, mutants, and evil scientists were all aspects that made a great game

 

[luckshotpro]

of the ones listed here, Bioshock as my favorite single player fps, but when it comes to multiplayer, ya just can't do any better than Time Splitters: Future Perfect

 

[pixiejedi]

Halo reach. I know, I know, I'm a tool. Bioshock was great and I have great memories of Goldeneye, but for sheer time poured into a single FPS its got to be Halo.

That and getting really drunk and yelling at people with no consequences is great. A friend once told this 7 year old kid that his parents divorced because he was such an annoying loser, good times.

Best singleplayer FPS : Half Life 2 without a freaking doubt.

Best mulitplayer FPS: Battlefield 2 and i CANNOT wait for Battlefield 3
