what is your favorite fps of 2011?

[Xanadu84]

There's been a lot of good shooters. I'm going to say Call of Duty was the best, most polished experience.

Every once in a while, I go to my favorite Pizza place, and order a delicious pesto pizza, because I enjoy it and it is delicious. I don't scream at the cook that it tastes the same as last time. I am constantly trying new foods and dishes, and that is very important, but a tried and true recipe is still a tasty pie.

Portal 2 trumps all comers.

Duke Nukem Forever

 

[WittyName]

Operation Flashpoint: Red River, it was the most fun out of all the FPS games I've played this year.

 

[ResonanceGames]

Crysis 2. It was not a particularly good year for the FPS genre. And by not particularly good, I mean terrible.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Deus Ex and Rage by far the best iv'e played this year

outside Killzone 3 demo I played recently (which was better than I thought it would be), Portal 2 is the closest thing to fps I played.

 

[ResonanceGames]

OK guys, I think it's pretty pedantic to say that Portal 2 and Deus Ex are first person shooters. They might be first person and they might allow you to shoot things (kinda), but FPS is a widely-recognized genre with certain attributes that clash with the ones in those games.

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Nothing beats portal 2 in awesomeness, but Rage was also pretty damn fun.

So we can't count Deus Ex: Human Resources? Battlefield 3 then. DON'T BUY IT FOR SINGLEPLAYER THOUGH. You probably shouldn't buy it for console either.

Anyway, on PC it is the best multiplayer FPS I've played in years. Get a good squad together and it can be magic. I miss the Commander a little, but no-one ever listened to the commander anyway outside of tournaments. Here's hoping they make another Battlefield 2142 using this engine. I want to play Titan matches with Frostbite 2's destruction. WW2 would be good too, but Red Orchestra covers that pretty well.

EDIT: IF YOU ARE PLAYING SUPPORT DROP SOME DAMN AMMO! See a bad guy? It might be good if you spot them too.

I like that one where you're an American with big guns shooting at non-Americans.

Portal 2, hands-down. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was pretty good, but lost that spot in my mind because of Barrett. Haven't played any other shooters this year and none of them interest me at all.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Eh...if I consider Deus Ex Human Revolution to be a shooter (it really straddles the line, since shooting isn't the focus), then yeah, DE:HR.

Otherwise....ugh..nothing. Fucking nothing.
Duke Nukem Forever is just plain bad, Mindjack is one of the worst shooters I've seen in a while, and Modern Warfare 3 is so generic and BORING that I can't even count it.

And that's in a market FLOODED with shooters. It feels as though the entire genre is just drowning in this sea of generic brown blandness.
