Have to go old school MP and say Unreal Tournament (original, but 2003/2004 as well) and Quake 3.
Those games were fast. Ridiculously fast. Even more so in UT when someone increases the Game Speed setting for fun. 16 player Instagib deathmatch at 200% Game Speed seperates men from boys, women from girls. Even without mods/mutators the normal games themselves require great aiming, reflexes, spatial awareness, memory, time-keeping and mobility.
Always fun getting someone considered a good Halo or CoD player to try one of those games against reasonable bots. They get slaughtered near every time.

I agree.random_bars said:Well, "Kill with Skill" is Bulletstorm's tagline, but to be honest it plays out more like "kill in the least efficient but most flashy ways possible". Still fun though
Bulletstorm is up there as one of the most difficult.
Kind of in the same way DMC or Bayonnetta is. You can run through, destroying everything in your path with COMPLETE ease just by doing one thing over and over, or you can try your hardest, and get an amazing score.
My friend had me beat the demo ((10k points or higher for a special unlock)) for him because he couldent get above 8700. xD my first try i hit 11k, and then following it up with a 12k run.
Its a game where skill is everything, or nothing.
BC 2 gets my partial pick, some tactics are applied. If your enemy is almost on your base door step, most idiots will run out the front trying to kill them, while you can just go around. Battlefield maps are more open ended and make you think.
TF 2 is one that requires skill, you start from scratch literally and it takes time to actually build up your skills in various classes.
CS is a skill needed game too. But that's been covered many times so I won't bother.
I think another game that isn't listed is MAG. This is another game is a different style of play, and if you think you can rush a base lone wolf style your kind of screwed when you find the opposition waiting there. Also strategy is a big thing there too, assets are given. Its like what if Battlefield and Call of Duty had a baby and Battlefield has the dominant genes.

Battlefield 2: Project Reality
A very extensive community mod. One of the best I've ever seen. It strives for realism (As much as the BF2 engine allows) and is really meant for tactical and serious gameplay.
Twitch is good, twitch is nice, but in that game it's really just one thing you need to be good.
Great game! And should be played with people who know and value tactical gameplay.

How about they just make a FPS where you can only choose from a selection of bolt-actions. It would be boring as all hell, but it would take real skill. Also, make the player explode if they stay in one place for too long so that there aren't any campers.
Fear Combat, well not "Todays" fear combat..... but what it used to be. It was a MP FPS game with the craziest learning curve ever, its a very simple game to play, but fuck its hard to master. A great player can usually walk circles around average players. Beginners never lasted long because of how efficient the good players were with movements, and they akways get called hackers for how well they played, its unreal. Hell I only play the game once a month for about 2 hours still, and I walk around most of the players that are still playing it..
All of them do.
Though Bad company 2 is much harder to be good at than COD or halo, based on my experience.
You actually have to play as a team.

This, pretty much.higgs20 said:
All of them take skill to play, and yet none of them do. If you want to talk about 'skill', then you're going to have to talk about realistic shooters, or sniper games, where mastering real world physics is about all you're going to need for skill.
Not that most current-gen FPS games don't have that, it's just there's too many exploits to use. For example: If you have a totally realistic shooter, everyone is going to run around as a sniper and point-blank someone with it since getting shot in the chest, no matter where, from a sniper rifle will most likely tear a hole in your body the size of a silver-dollar coin.
A lot of people can go on about the "skill" it takes to play any given FPS, but in the end, they're just bullshitting themselves. The only thing it takes is practice, learning the quirks of the game, and exploiting the ones that work the best for you and your chosen class/loadout. That's all the "skill" that it takes. Battlefield Bad Company 2 can be used as an example. Carl Gustav & 40mm Grenade point-blanking, the AN-94 Abakan, and so on and so forth.
I think it's less to do with individual skill and more to do with the size and skill of the community.
Call of Duty is played by a lot (understatement I know) of people and they're all varying in skill. Chances are that I ( bear in mind I'm a complete FPS newb) could easily slip in to Call of Duty because chances are there will be a lot of other players in my position of starting at the bottom wanting to get better.
My only experience with CounterStrike was one I did not enjoyed. Either I really am that bad or a majority of players have been playing for a while and the number of skilled players outnumber the newbs.
I've found that neither can be played the same way. But I think it's less to do with skill and more about the accessibility of the game.

Counter Strike 1.6
It takes a lot of practice and skill to reach perfection. Just look at some of the famous CS players. They're fuckin' crazy.
