I apologize for the wall of text, but asking me to choose my favorite FPS is like lining up 30 ridiculously hot porn stars and telling me to pick one. I cant do it, not a snowball's chance in hell. So I have an 8 way tie (plus an honorable mention) because these are all games I would willingly pour even more hours and hours into. I still play every single one of these games to this date because I enjoy them so much...
* Favorite FPS overall is Timesplitters: Future Perfect (see reasons below).
* I enjoy BlOps because its the first CoD game I've ever owned and it's refined, elegant, and balanced multiplayer has eaten up 104.9 hours of my life (I just checked).
* Where's Star Wars: Battlefront 2? That game was amazing to play alone since you could just blow away an entire battlefield for shits and giggles.
* Red Faction was great because of its awesome campaign and because of the times when me and my friend would dig as far into the map as we could go and create epic tunnels into nothing.
* Halo:CE is still one of the greats and no, the other Halos still haven't had any better campaign (flood levels are the best and have only gotten worse in later chapters) or multiplayer.
* Fallout New Vegas: despite all the bugs and load times, it is the greatest open world FPS-RPG hybrid ever to cause my little heart to flutter. There is so much amazing stuff to do, I'm already level 20 and I havent even advanced the main storyline to the Strip yet because there's SO... MUCH... TO... DO!!!
* Blood. I've played Doom and (flame suit on now) it pales in comparison to stabbing zombies with a pitchfork or shooting them with a tommy gun or akimbo flare guns (or any of the other awesome guns in that game). It's just so much guilty pleasure...
* Finally, Left 4 Dead 2 because shooting zombies in the face with a friend never gets old. Ever. And the second one gave me more than 3 guns with 3 upgraded versions of the same gun.
* (Honorable mention) Carnivores 2 because I have never had so much fun playing a hunting game or a game from the 90s (besides Blood) as I have playing Carnivores. I still have that game on my computer and I still fire it up now and again to scratch that dino hunting itch...
) that sucked me in while I was only playing with bots (none of my friends enjoy my favorite game ever...). It has the only storyline I've ever played through god knows how many times because it was fun as hell. Not for achievements or my completionist mentality, but because it was funny, charming, entertaining, challenging, and rewarding in its own right. It is amazing in all facets of gameplay and there has not been a single FPS before or ever will be another (Free Radical closed down and I legitimately cried) that is as amazing and complete as Future Perfect.

Ummm, lol? There are five SMGs in the map creator mode that all only had very suttle differences to them. Which is ultimately why Future Perfect is one of my favoritest games ever. It had my favorite (not best, but favorite) map creator ever. It was streamlined so you made your map, put in what you needed, and played, but could still bend and tweak and strategize and customize for hours trying to make this map perfect. You had a good amount of customization in the actual multiplayer gametypes (although, sadly, a lot of cool stuff from TS2 was gone and it made me sad I couldnt set up regenerating health any moreSion_Barzahd said:

Tempted to say Perfect Dark - hardcore nostalgia, great environments and gameplay. I didn't really like the alien twist but it was still fun, and had excellent multiplayer.
However, I loved Red Faction. I liked the story, and I felt like I was fighting for something. The environments were varied and the vehicle sections broke things up nicely.

Half-life 2 was very boring (I seriously had to stop playing due to total boredom within an hour, anything with the source engine feels exactly the same and it isn't good at all), Halo is very very very repetitive, all CoD's are meh at best and are mostly just copy+pasted from the last one that developer made, Goldeneye has very awkward controls which are a big problem.
I have spent the most time playing Doom 2. Killzone 2 is pretty good, but I am very burnt on FPS games so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have otherwise (I was 100% entirely burnt when I first started playing it, but I finished the campaign recently). As of now I am still at least 74% burnt on FPS games. I was down to 58%, but New Vegas jumped me back up to the mid 90's and recent Oblivion binges have slowed down progress. If I avoid all FPS games, I may be back to normal when KZ3 comes out, but Bulletstorm comes out in about a month which will be a very hard game to not get.

Halo CE is easily my favorite FPS, but I'm certainly inclined to agree about Marathon's writing. It's mind-blowingly brilliant.Kataiser said:
To put it bluntly:
***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***
Strive for your next breath. Believe that with it you can do
more than with the last one. Use your breath to power your
capacities: capacity to kill, to maim, to destroy.
And just where do your capacities come from? Why do you
always go where I want and do what I say?
Perhaps you're just running a fool's errand, doing everything
as I've planned, never able to change your course. You would
do well to believe that I know the outcome of your battle with
the Pfhor already, just as I can decipher the chaotic motion of
gas molecules in the clouds of Tau Ceti IV.
Or, perhaps, that is not the case.
Perhaps, you are doing what you were meant to do. Your human
mentality screams for vengeance and thrives on the violence
that you say you can hardly endure. Your father told you as a
child to always fight with honor, but to always fight. Do you
care about honor, or do you use honor as an excuse? An excuse
to exist in a violent world.
Organic beings are constantly fighting for life. Every
breath, every motion brings you one instant closer to your
death. With that kind of heritage and destiny, how can you
deny yourself? How can you expect yourself to give up
violence?
It is your nature.
Do you feel free?
//=================
You should go to this location
and retrieve a device that the
S'pht have provided for us.
It will allow you to slay more
Pfhor. Does that make you
happy?

Yes, Marathon is the best-written game I've ever come across, and yes, Durandal is without a doubt the coolest insane AI this side of the HAL-9000.
edit: One of the things I also find neato is that Marathon still manages to pull off atmosphere pretty well in general; the opening level of the first game is just plain eerie.
Either "Hired Guns" a really old dos-based shooter where you played four characters at once, each who were different from the others, had sentry guns and a bunch of other crap while every other shooter still didn't have jumping.
or
"Rise of the Triad" also old game, not as old as before, but brought in all sorts of stuff that other games of the time couldn't even comprehend, like ultra-giblet mode, double-fisted pistols, and these random-direction mirv rocket things called drunken rockets/missiles.

Probably CoD4 or Halo 3. I've played Half-Life 2 and found it fun but the fps will always be severely limited in what it can do in the single player department in my eyes. I'm not old enough to have played what I hear were classics while they were in their prime so sorry.
For me it would quite possibly have to be Borderlands.
I am more of an RPG addict, and the loot system of Borderlands *REALLY* appeals to me.
I haven't played it in a few months though...

Call of Cthulhu is one of my favourites, as well as Half-Life 1 and 2.
Also, I do have a soft spot for the Resistance games.
