Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Best multiplayer of any game I've ever played, assuming your team actually cares about the objective.

It was released in '87 -- two years before I was born -- so yeah.trickyfingers said:
Agreed -- SS2 is a vastly superior game to BioShock; the latter reflecting how little the FPS genre has changed in the ensuing years.Z(ombie)fan said:I hate when BIoSHock is praised for "being inventive"Nyrad01 said:I went to vote Bioshock but I think I clicked Metroid by accident... I think Bioshock was the best of them, it was very inventive, and was one of the few games that have actually scared my before
play system shock 2. came out 7-9 years earlier, is a better game, And features verything BIoshock has And More. Including story (the Frame of the story, anyway. and several enemies -splicers are SS2's hybrids. Big Daddies are SS2's maintnence bots, Security bots Are SS2's turrets only mobilized.
MY favorite? DOOM. especially the Various Ports of it, They added some nice Paranoia fuel to the mix.
ANyone remember the PS1 version? that had my eyes bugging out of my head, let me tell you... fricken darkness everywhere...
I know DOOM wasn't the first FPS -- but it was the game that popularized the term "first-person shooter", and singlehandedly spawned a million clones, effectively causing the FPS medium to become arguably the most lucrative genre in gaming history.qeinar said:
This is a joke, right? DOOM was arguably the single greatest leap forward in FPS history, and pioneered or popularized true third-dimension spatiality, relatively complex AI scripts, network multiplayer gaming, .WADs (and thusly FPS modding), dynamic game environments, weapons that've become genre motifs such as the rocket launcher, the Shadowcaster engine, etc.TelHybrid said:
When I saw this thread I was like, "Fuck, another one of these? Let's see how many fagboys voted for Call of Duty 4."
I was very very pleased to see that you left out titles that held their merit on popularity. I don't oppose any game in the list, and I respect you for being as particular as you were.
My vote goes with Half-Life as a series, but since you broke them into two, I'd have to place my vote with Half-Life 2.
Goldeneye, DOOM and Time Splitters 2 come in a very close second for me. Those games are iconic. Maybe no so much with Time Splitters 2, but not many people knew about that game. But it is similar to Goldeneye in many ways. If TS2 made an appearance in your poll, it would have stolen my vote, no doubt.

Ignoring the whole 'what's not a FPS' argument, out of the choices I'd have to say Deus Ex, but System Shock 2 to this day is still my fav.
And hearing 'Babies want fresh meat' STILL scares the crap out of me.

Those are bad choices for someone who doesn't have a gaming PC. I'd say MaG and Call of Duty 4are good ones but I like games like Borderlands and Fallout 3.
Is it really that time again, Mister Freeman...? And by that time again, I mean play HL2 again for the 8th time! It's always fun.
To be honest... in terms of good FPSiness the modern warfares of the world really do beat all of those. HL2's gunplay isn't that great and bioshocks is pretty absymal.
I voted Goldeneye, but actually my favorite FPS ever is Perfect Dark, the unofficial sequel to Goldeneye on the N64. Goldeneye is close enough though.
On another note, how the hell did so many people vote for Half Life 2?? I know it's all a matter of opinion, but I can't stand that game. It's too repetitive, linear, and you shoot the same enemies with the same guns over and over again. I really enjoyed the first Half Life, but Half Life 2 sucked. Plus, the ending was like, wtf? It didn't make any sense.
