The Best will never be decided or at least, we'll never come to a consensus (said the first person to respond on this thread). So I can only really talk about my favorite which is Duke Nukem 3D/64. I've clocked more hours in with this one than any other FPS. It had a great, long and, varied campaign. It had sweet multiplayer (I preferred it over Goldeneye) and, most importantly was the fact that it had bot-matches. If TF2 had bot matches on the console version I would have probably listed that one but no. Gotta bet on Duke here.
Honorable mentions go to Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo Reach, Turok the Dinosaur Hunter, Painkiller Half-Life 2 and, Team Fortress 2.
off-topic question: how do Manhattan Project and Zero Hour stack up? I haven't really played either but am deeply curious.

I don't think another game will have the same impact, but a little return to form could be welcome. If Serious Sam 3 can exist, why not a game with actual levels/traps/doors and cleverly placed enemies instead of 'waves'.Sixcess said:

I think you mean "modern setting" because realism and BF/CoD in the same sentence does not compute.TomLikesGuitar said:
Realism does not imply simulation, but when shotgun pellets simply cease to exist after 10m all bets are off.
I find it funny that realistic games used to be mainstream. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, SWAT, etc... Not the watered down versions we get today (looking at RS: Vegas 2).Anthraxus said:

Perfect dark . So much to do . So much fun . Didn't take itself too seriously . A lot of freedom . And laptop gun .
Honerable mention goes to Golden eye 007 , which made Perfect dark possible and for having paved the way for console FPS.
But this is from a console players view point of course, i cannot refute the influence Doom has had for the genre on a whole .

Doom 3 was a good game, but it was survival horror more than all out action, so it wasn't really Doom.TomLikesGuitar said:What about Doom III by Id?zombieshark6666 said:I don't think another game will have the same impact, but a little return to form could be welcome.

Id are working on Doom 4, and have said that they want it to be more like the first two than the third. But with not so much as a single screenshot to go by as yet only time will tell.
For Story/Single Player
Halo CE, I sank DAYS into that game when it came out.
Half-life, sadly I only managed to play that brilliant game last year. It was a pleasant surprise mixing the challenge of an ordinary FPS with puzzles, horror/thrills and SCIENCE!
For multiplayer
Call of Duty: World at War. Myself and 2 of my friends where an unstopable force on that game, last true CoD game in my opinion. Teamwork really counted. Now in CoD, you can do just as well on your own with all the perks and stuff they introduced making each soldier a one man army.
And Battlefield: badcompany 2
I didnt have as much fun on this since I only got to play this with friend rarely. But makes up in the teamwork department what recent CoD games have lacked.
Overall Best FPS
Timesplitters Future Perfect. I still play that alot, has stood the test of time quite brilliantly.
Single player, challenging, balanced, funny. It lacks nothing except a jump button. The singleplayer challenges are great little distractions once you finish the story.
Multiplayer, tons of characters to play as. Fully customisable weapon sets and bots. Since Original Xbox live has died and many great multiplayer games along with it, the fact that it has AI bots that are not completely stupid and are actually fun to play against makes up for that. The tournement mode offeres a real challenge when you try to get Gold medels on everything!
And finally the mapmaker, While fairly simple at heart, the ability to make indepth story missions and wild multiplayer maps allows you to add so much content to the experence!

Mine would definitely be Team Fortress 2. (whenever I can play the game without any lag that is)
I've never played Manhattan Project, but I played a lot of Zero Hour back in the day. It's definitely not better than Duke Nukem 3D, but I thought it was a worthy spin-off.Shoggoth2588 said:
Anywho... on-topic...
My absolute favorite FPS games are the original Deus Ex and System Shock 2. But since I'm guessing this topic is more about "pure" FPS games... I dunno. For me, it'd probably be a toss-up between...
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake II
Half-Life
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Perfect Dark 64
Halo: Combat Evolved
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Which one I'd choose would depend on my mood and what I'm most nostalgic for at the time.
Amusingly enough I already did a thread like this a while ago. Though I didn't get as many posts. I'm still looking for my great FPS. Granted I don't care about multiplayer one but so there's a lot of games I won't play like TF2 or CS:S.
No idea. So instead I'm going to say BioShock because its the first FPS on my short list of best games for explaining art in games list.
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. The ORIGINAL version that actually had the funky gravity tricks in it. It was all downhill when Croteam switched to a third-party physics engine that could only handle linear gravity.
Close second: Borderlands. It did something different, and I liked finding a really insane gun every now and then.
Third place, the original Duke Nukem. Yeah, I know.
Those were my Top 3 single-player FPS games. If we're talking multiplayer, it goes Natural Selection, EyE: Divine Cybermancy, Who Gives A Shit About Most Multiplayer FPS Games.
Last place for me is all 47 games in the Metal of Duty series. Especially Metal Of Duty 23: Brown Helix.
As a side note, I would just like to say, where the hell does Sniper Elite V2 get off making "kill Hitler" a DLC? Used to be, if you bought a WWII shooter, you KNEW Hitler was the last boss, right out of the box!
And not just any Hitler! Zombie Robot Hitler! D:<
Oh, how we've fallen... -_-

For me it's Quake II. I played the hell out of that game. DOOM is a close second, but Quake II has it. Old-school id hasn't been topped, in my opinion.
