Poll: Best Modern FPS?

[Devour]

So, what do you guys think is the best FPS at the moment?

In my opinion, it's Team Fortress 2. The classes are designed for each "style" of FPS play, giving it a massively complex and intricate strategy and tactics system. It's beautiful.

What about you guys?

Oh, Team Fortress 2 also has dedicated servers lolol.

I'd go for tf2. Natural Selection 2 is looking good, but as more an alternative, not a competitor. I can love both.
EDIT: I'd say that Halo: Reach looks good, but Bungie is allergic to money, and therfore won't release it on PC. It looks like some simple good clean multiplayer fun, but alas.

I think it will be Halo Reach when it comes out. Not because I'm a halo fanboy, but the weapons, vehicles and game modes are ace, and have you SEEN Forge World?


Plus jetpacks make everything better.

I gotta go for the game that offers a good multiplayer and singleplayer as it caters to two audiences and doesn't hurt either, though the latter tends to be somewhat short but luckily flow well.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is my pick. I give Modern Warfare 2 massive penalties for a plot that seems to abandon a sensical narrative as it picks up and abandons plots more than Heroes Volume II.

When it comes to mutliplayer only however I will agree that Team Fortress 2 is a wonderful game, though the level design always left a little to be desired for me. Gameplay was still massively fun though so that line is little more than a nitpick.

after trying the reach beta, i have my hopes up. Dont love the settings and story. But the halo games have rock solid, clean gameplay. So i guess maybe halo. Hate bc2 with a passion!

TF2. L4D2. HL2.

Abbreviations aplenty. Valve make great games.

Halo 3 is currently the best FPS, in my opinion, and Halo: Reach will be the next one.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

No way its Halo or CoD for me. I'd say it's between HalfLife 2, Deus Ex, and Portal. Purely because they were the most revolutionary

 

[Sleekgiant]

Halo 3 and Reach are in my top ranks, mostly because you only get certain guns unlike World at War and MW2 where every noob can choose the cheapest kill kit and completely ruin a game.

 

[lukemdizzle]

well halo 3 is the one I play most but because both Halo 2's single and multi player was soooooo much better I don't want to say 3 is the best FPS of this console generation. I think reach will be though.

ps. Im not sure if I consider portal is an "fps"

Planetside, circa 2004-2006.

If you can ignore graphics, it makes ArmA II look small, makes TF2 look like squirrels on acid, CoD is just... limited, and Battlefield is trying hard but not quite making it.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Single player: Modern Warfare 2

Multiplayer: Call of Duty 4

Well, it's first-person, and you use an item which fires projectiles. So its a first-person shooter =]

CoD4 or Halo 3. I just can't say which I enjoed more.

CoD4 had a really good campaign and a sensible story (unlike MW2). Moving to the multiplayer, it has brilliant ranking system. The weapons and perks are mostly well ballanced (apart from M16 and Juggernaught) and you end up loving some of them like some crazy weapon person. The sound of the silenced UZI, headshoting with the M40 sniper, C4ing people to death and slaughtering enemies with the Desert Eagle that I can honestly call the most fun gun to use in any game are all unforgetable weapons.

Halo 3 on the other hand had a solid singleplayer, with an ok plot that didn't really live up to my expectations. What I did like was 4 player co-op and a huge ammount of hidden content all over. The multiplayer on the other hand is amazing. The matchmaking system works, even though it tends to be a bit slow and I've met some of my best online friends in Halo 3 matchmaking. But the best part of the game is playing user created content in custom games. The insane amount of creativity of some of the maps are crazy. Running down a maze while being chased by a fat kid, playing cops and robbers, hunting people down in a recreation of the movie predator and playing demolition derby are some of the most unforgetable multiplayer experiences I've ever had. And the theater mode is a great feature too.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Bad Company 2 anyone?!

 

[Armored Prayer]

For me its CoD:4.

It blends both fun and strategy that I never really experienced in any other FPS. I also think that its the only FPS that was perfect in both single and multiplayer.
