Top FPS . . . OF ALL TIME!!!!!

[Kinitawowi]

It took sixteen posts for somebody to mention Wolfenstein 3D. This makes me sad. Come on people, the third boss is Hitler in a robot suit quad-wielding miniguns. Without wishing to go all Godwin on this nut, you can't ignore that.

But no. These lists are the usual "nothing happened in gaming prior to ten years ago" that all these things always consist of. "Top FPS OF ALL TIME!!!!!" my arse. I see Doom's getting a token mention, but that's about it.

The top FPS of all time is clearly Doom. I mean isn't every FPS ever just a Doom clone? As we all know, the original must be the best and nothing can ever contest that, even if better games are released later the original is still the best. It says so right on the first page of the critic handbook.

I'll just limit it to a Top 5 because... reasons.

1- Bulletstorm
2- Team Fortress 2
3- Deus Ex: Human Revolution
4- Metro 2033
5- Serious Sam 3: BFE

 

[Terminate421]

1. Halo 3
2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
3. Metroid Prime

If I had a top 3.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

1 - Halo Reach (I love all of them but despite the lack of Cortana this one is probably my favourite.)
2 - Doom 3 (Why? Because this game is well designed and really scary... Well, until you get the mini gun.)
3 - Deus Ex HR (Stealth, gunplay, punch ups, whores, hacking, decisions, shades implanted into your face... Oh yes!)
4 - CoD WaW (Like all the games but I feel World at War is the best, it really gave a nice WWII feeling... Also, Resnov.)
5 - Dishonoured (Just... Wow... Would've been higher if it weren't for how short it was.)
6 - Time Splitters: Future Perfect (Do I even need to say it?)
7 - Bioshock (You know why... It's because it's friggin' awesome)
8 - Far Cry Instincts (Campy, colourful and bloody!)
9 - Planet Side 2 (Like BF only bigger and more purple... Vanu for life!)
10 - Medal of Honour Airborne (I CAN FLY!!!)

Really tough list to make...

I don't play too many fps's but I have to say the following games are the most kickass of the genre.

Timesplitters 2: What happens when you cross Zombies, Aliens, Soldiers, and robots with Plasma rifles, Miniguns, and Rocket launchers. You get the most fun anyone can have playing an fps with some kickass tunes, insanely fast gameplay, and a multiplayer that would stand up even today. (it was made in 2002)

Team Fortress 2: The name of this game is diversity. Any good team will have no 2 players using the same loadout. The game has a hilarious sense of humor graphics that look real good considering the game is from 2007 and there is constant patching with new content added all the time.

Fallout New Vegas: If you love the lore of Fallout without the clunky system of the first 2 games this is where to go. Lot's of really good weapons, cool characters, and a more refined system over Fallout 3. While as an fps it doesn't stand up to other games as a kickass game all around it beats out most others. Oh did I mention the mods because they multiply the experience by a million.
