Favorite First-Person Shooter

[Doron]

I was interested in seeing how many people play first person shooters, and if they even like them. Post here your opinion.

I have to pick Call of Duty 4, Doom, and Counter-Strike.

Call of Duty 4 is one of the best first-person shooter games in my opinion, beats all i've played.

Doom is a good one, my dad designed most of the maps for Doom 1 and Doom 2.

Counter-Strike is still pretty awesome with all the mods, such as the Warcraft Mod, you gain Experience and different classes with different abilities.

Edit: Ah damn, forgot to put Halo up there. Not sure how to edit polls or if I even can.

 

[Direfury]

Serious Sam FTW

 

[Hawkwing]

I like Halo, Star Wars Battlefront, and I don't really play any others. I played an old Serious Sam once and I thought that was pretty cool.

 

[Redeemer59]

Team Fortress 2 FTW.

I also voted SW:BF because it's the first FPS I ever played, and it actually isn't bad, IMO.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Doom 1-2, Quake 1-3, Counter Strike 1.6 and Sven Co-op

 

[skrab]

COD2 RLZ but its not on the list

COD4 than

 

[Nudl9]

The first unreal tournament game and quake 3 arena, because they are so very unique with the gameplay and how the game is made by style!
Classics ftw

 

[Belgarath]

Crysis FTW, yay! And BF2 as well.

 

[Zombie]

Add Half-Life 2 too!

COD4
CS:S
BF2142

rulez!!

There are too many FPS to make a poll out of them. My favourite is Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi. Is different than other standard WW2, modern or futuristic FPS. Although the graphics is not the top (even for the year when it was released), it features a creepy atmosphere (kinda AvP). It has a wide variety of different weapons, some effective against some kind of enemies while ineffective vs others, so you have to switch quickly to the right weapon when facing an enemy. I like also the fact that the ammunition is pretty scarce, so you have to be more careful when shooting (along with slow reloading of some flintlock weapons) and you will have often to use your melee weapons such as swords, especially against weak enemies.

However this game lacks length and multiplayer. The game even forces you to play fast as you are time limited. Is quite easy too, even at the nightmare difficult is not that hard to finish that game.

 

[Callahan]

I like Time Splitter serie.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I like:

- The Battlefield series (good o' sniper <3)
- Killzone =P
- Half-Life 1/2
- I'd played a Doom 3 demo, loved it.
- F.E.A.R., phear Alma!
- Also many more FPS-demos.

 

[Dr Super Good]

And this had anything to do with this site?

Moved to consol games forum section.

 

[Firelord213]

I like CoD4 & some CS ...BF 2142 Failed totally...Worst game ever ...They made it too fast its just like BF2 with some futuristic stuff.

 

[Mike117]

Lol no halo on a 'best FPS' poll... I mean you can not like it, but not even mentioning it smells kinda bias :s

 

[covjjratny]

Here is a short list of the game I would call "the best".
Doom 1-2(of course!)
Battlefield 1945
and...
Goldeneye for the N64

 

[busterkomo]

I probably enjoyed SW: BF2 the most, although It's not exactly a fps.
CoD 4 is actually pretty bad, the online is the only worthy aspect, and it is still overwhelmed by halo(vehicles anyone?). I can see why some like CoD 4, but it just seems severely lacking once you hit prestige.

 

[Doron]

The single player on CoD4 was o.k to play. The storyline was awesome, but online is a lot better.

 

[brad.dude03]

My very favourite: Halo PC
Best-Made: Half Life 2
Old School Classic: Goldeneye 64
Modern Ownage: Crysis
Totally Fun: Serious Sam the Second Encounter

That about does it for me

Oh, greatest FPS of the 90's: Dark Forces II baby.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Halo 3

It's fast paced, it looks cool, the weapons are awesome and it's a hell of a lot of fun, especially against the flood.

In second place comes Republic Commando. Star Wars at it's best.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, Republic Commando is brilliant, and it is ther single greatest squad-based-tactics game I've ever played. Not to mention that the Clones side of Star Wars is my favourite.

But I remind you WILL, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is still the best SW FPS ever made, and the best FPS to ever be released in the 90's.

 

[<Offspring>]

You put BF2142 on the list but not BF2 and BF1942? BF1942>BF2>BF2142

 

[brad.dude03]

I agree, Offspring is totally right with his order of ownage.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

BF1942 was awful... for me at least. I hate pretty much all the Battlefield games. So many bugs and glitches.

AND WHERE THE F@#* IS BIOSHOCK?!!?!?!?

 

[brad.dude03]

1) 1942 was the only good Battlefield game actually.

2) Bioshock is more RPG than FPA imo.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Well, you still had to aim your powers, so that counts more as an FPS than an RPG for me.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I like Time Splitter serie.

Yep, that's my answer too.

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

Halo 3, only 360 game I have so far..

And of course, GOLDENEYE!

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

FEAR was fun.
Doom 3 was shit.
Quake 4 was okay.
Halo was fun at first, but got extremely repetetive as the game went on.
Timesplitters series rocked somewhat.
I don't know if Deus Ex counts as an FPS, but it's still the most awesome game you will ever encounter in your life.
CoD2 was the most addictive FPS I've ever played.
I never played many other FPS's, however.

 

[brad.dude03]

CS:S and Half Life 2 man.

And if Portal counts as an FPS, well, it was the best one I played in '07.

 

[Anubarak]

I don't give a $#%! what you guyz think, Doom 3 is a great game. No doubt about it. And who could forget the awesome TimeSplitters: Future Perfect!

 

[brad.dude03]

Doom 2 was better.

 

[Ravager]

Halo 1-3

My Favorite FPS series ever, i just love pwing peoples with plasma grenades. I liked halo 3, though it was very short, as have been all halo games

 

[Campir]

Wow, Umm FPS usually suck anway, but Unreal Tournament is the best of the genre. It's creative and cool. 'Nuff said.

 

[Dr00d]

Portal.15characterlimit

 

[brad.dude03]

Campir you've obviously never played a game developed by Valve.

 

[Dr00d]

Half life 2 and episodes 1-2.

 

[brad.dude03]

As well as the original Half Life, Half Life Deathmatch, Team Fortress Classic, Fortress Forever, Day of Defeat, Half Life 2: Lost Coast, Half Life 2: Deathmatch, Counterstrike 1.6, Counterstrike: Source, Garry's Mod 10, Portal, Audiosurf, need I go on?

 

[Dr00d]

No, I never said I played those. You said I never played another Valve game, and I did. That's all I was pointing out.

WOW I'm dumb... you were talking to someone else. -.-

 

[Campir]

Campir you've obviously never played a game developed by Valve.

Never heard of "valve", can you give me a name of a game created by "valve"?

 

[brad.dude03]

Wow. Just wow. You must be the only person alive who's never heard of Valve.

You know, they made that one thing, that series of games, with that guy....

HALF LIFE?!

 

[LordHunter]

Where's the halo option?

But yeah favorite FPS of all time : halo 1 <3 <3 <3 <3

Cod2 was really fun too though

I enjoyed doom 3 but most ppl hated it

 

[PurgeandFire]

Splinter Cell.

Seriously, it might not be a full FPS, but man, that game was f*cken TENSE!

 

[LordHunter]

Splinter Cell.

Seriously, it might not be a full FPS, but man, that game was f*cken TENSE!

OHHH splinter cell i hated that game. With the crappy missions where you couldn't kill people and had to 'disable them', or the stuff like if you make 2 alarms sound then you lose.
Man that game was so frustrating

Besides it's not even a real fps

 

[Dr00d]

It's a stealth game, and an epic one none the less, but this is an FPS thread. -.-

 

[TheDivineBoss]

If it's only 3rd person = Not discussable in this thread
If it's 3rd AND 1st person = Allowed.

 

[brad.dude03]

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is a masterpiece, the culmination of stealth shooters everywhere. It's not so stupid and savage like most FPS games where it's just "run in, kill everything that moves, spawn the next wave in the next room" kind if crap. You really have to use your head to play the game right, and that turns off most of the idiotic FPS players. So much the better, they're missing out on a great game.

Grab a SILENCED gun and run in to the room and kill everyone?
(just joking)
I got Chaos Theory on the DS and i can't even finish the second level , I prefer the "run in, kill everything that moves" strategy.

 

[Dr00d]

That was a monstrosity of a game. Only way to play Splinter Cell is on a PC or console.

 

[brad.dude03]

Tis true. And I don't have anything against run-n-gun games. I love them. But it's great every now and then to really give your brain a work out with a game like Chaos Theory, or for that matter, Hitman Blood Money. Both have amazing story lines, especially Splinter Cell, it being involved with Tom Clancy and all, so it's just a great sort of secondary experience, seperate from the rest.
