Your Favorite FPS.. No, not frame per second.. First person shooter...

[psimonl]

Like some of you know, I am a big FPS player.

I shouldn't be because I waste a lot of sleeping time on them, but I still play.

Anyway.

For the past year, I have played what seems to be the all time 10 best games.

1- Half-life 2
2-F.e.a.r.
3-Sin Episode
4-COD 2
5-Painkiller
6-PREY
7- Doom 3
8- Quake 4
9-Dark Messiah
10-Brothers in arms: Earned in blood
11- XIII (very untalked about, but a very good story)

That is not counting a very much loved 3rd person shooter: Max Payne 2...

So, now, would you have any suggestion for me.....

Or:

Did you played any obscure game in the past year(s) that really got you going???

I'm a big fan of Unreal Tournament 2004. 2007 comes out in June....

[wec12]

Counter-Strike all the way :D .

[TazKristi]

Simon,
I don't, but my husband does... his favorite is the Medal of Honor series. He would have enjoyed the Call of Duty series, but since it began on the PC platform and now Call of Duty 3 is only available on consoles, he's lost his interest in it completely. :(

I'll give him your list though, I think there is one or two that he doesn't own.

I'm old school. I have played Team Fortress Classic (TFC) for about 5 years now. It's a Half-Life mod.

[dedguy]

Wolfenstein ftw!

[Th232]

Wolfenstein 3D
Unreal Tournament 99 and 04
Does Halo count?

PC only, no consoles.

[severedthumbs]

F.E.A.R. nothing else even close.

does Gears Of War count? if it does it is the best!

[ront]

I like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty also.

[Jordan]

currently, Resistance: Fall of Man. It has a fantastic storyline and a totally unique combat engine. Overall, my hat is tipped to Goldeneye... the FPS that has taken more of my time than any other video game in my personal history of gaming.

[rcbalt2]

Half-life 2
Battlefield 2
PREY
F.E.A.R

I wasn't a huge fan of Dark Messiah.

[Firefighter880]

You remember the Nintendo 64? I bought that sucker just for Goldeneye.

:spyder:

[huugh]

The best of all times is System Shock (1)

Other good ones:
Terminator Future Shock

Quake I (in cooperative multiplayer)

Soldier of fortune 2 (multiplayer)

Serious Sam First Encounter

[copeman]

i play true combat elite its a mod for wolfenstien et and is just like counter strike but better

[snuffaluff]

PC: I played the delta force series since day one and still have BHD(black hawk down) loaded up and ready to go.
I play console games more now though and just got a xbox 360 not too long ago.
console: Halo2 by far the best fps game Ive ever played and has taken more of my time than any other game... ever. and I cant wait for H3 to hit the market. Ive been playing a lot of Rainbow6:las vegas. Its pretty fun.

[cgjones]

Postal 2. I haven't played since I started running Linux though.

[KSDbass]

any Half life 2 variation (Deathmatch, Lost Island, all those), and Battlefield 2. Has anyone played BF2142 yet? I can't decide on whether or not I should buy it yet.

[foggy]

Wolfenstein ftw!
Cool! what version? I am in 2.55 right now and am going to 2.6 soon maybe

[Mr Blonde]

PC: I played the delta force series since day one and still have BHD(black hawk down) loaded up and ready to go.



Amen to that! Same here! I really dislike sci-fi in my FPS, so that rules out almost anything on the market.

My favorite FPS is the original Unreal Tournament. I still prefer it to UT2004, I think because UT2004 feels like it wants to be more like Quake 3, and UT just had a better feeling to me than Q3. Even though UT2004 has pretty much the same weapons as UT, it sort of feels like they nerfed them. I do love UT2004's vehicles and Onslaught mode, though.

I used to really like first person shooters, but they all seem rehashed now. They don't do anything new anymore. Like severedthumbs, I'll give an honorable mention to Gears of War, despite not being an FPS. ;)

[dialex]

I used to be into FPS myself (too bad it's soo little time for games) :(
I think I played (and finished) ;) all main FPS that were made, starting with Wolfenstein and Heretic, Duke Nukem and Terminator - Future Shock and Skynet, Half Life (and variants, like Opposing Force and Blue Shift), Sin and Avenging Angel (I'm not sure if this was the title, it was about a fallen angel that cames on Earth and he fights with regular weapons but during the gameplay he also develops holy powers, like haste, blood bath, brimstone aso.). Oh yes, and Quake(s), Unreal and his sequels, not to mention Unreal Tournament. Loved 2004, can't wait for the 2007. :D
But I was particualrily fond on the Thief series. Although not quite what some would call FPS, as it's based much more on sneaking rather than fighting, I highly reccommend it. It has a nice storyline and the shadows in Thief III are fantastic. :)
I am currently playing Command and Conquer - Renegade. It's quite old now, but I'm into RTS (Real Time Strategy) as well and this game allows you to play the now classic strategy game from a different perspective - as a commando who takes the action in his own very hands. ;)

[deeker]

I like the Rainbow Six titles. A bit of planning strategy and a lot of shooting...

I'm another that doesn't get too excited about the fantasy / alien creatures that are in some of the games. Stick to chasing around bad guys and terrorists and I'm set.

[snuffaluff]

I havn't personally played 2142, but I know a lot of people that do. If you like the BF series, then you'll probably like 2142. The futuristic vehicles/weapons are what ppl keep saying is good.

Can you rent PC games?

[snuffaluff]

Amen to that! Same here! I really dislike sci-fi in my FPS, so that rules out almost anything on the market.

What names did you use Mr. Blonde? were you in any squads?

[Mr Blonde]

I usually used my screenname 'Mr Blonde', but I was never in any squad. Just the odd hour of online gameplay here and there. Mostly BHD though.

I still play Goldeneye regularly, it is awesome.
Halo obviously has become a legend, excellent story.
I am EXTREMELY anxious to play FEAR and Resitance: Fall of Man. they both look amazing, but I am to poor for them right now.
But I have to say BLACK on the PS2 has the best gun set up and combat engines I have ever played. I am a huge fan of true gun accuracy from the game to real life, and they excelled at represeting all the guns. They screwed themselves over with no multiplayer though...it was still an incredible game, I have never played a game with a better real life gun set up. Rent it and beat it, you will not be disappointed.

[Prcek]

I like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty also.

Medal of Honor is (for me) the best game about WWII... especially multiplayer is highly playable.

Bonus: I can play this game on my old old old computer ;)

[denn]

Avenging Angel (I'm not sure if this was the title, it was about a fallen angel that cames on Earth and he fights with regular weapons but during the gameplay he also develops holy powers, like haste, blood bath, brimstone aso.).

"Requiem - Avenging Angel", Alex......

as for me, i've been out the gaming-scene for years now. i guess i got tired of games, dunno.

my favorites were Wolfenstein 3D, Doom 1 and 2, Quake 1 (GLQuake, 3dfx-voodoo graphics ofcourse) and Quake 3

occasionally i still play Doom 2 when i'm really bored

nowadays, the only games i have retained real interest in are the Silent Hill series, survival psych-horror. truly the best games ever made

denn

[ront]

Dialex, you are correct in saying that the "Thief" series was good. It was something different and that was good. I should load that one up again someday.

Ron

[naggalowmo]

F.E.A.R. and Resistance are favorites of mine, but I'm currently playing Day of Defeat (HL2 mod) and always have :D

Might I add that Deux Ex was THE best FPS I've ever played!

[clovisc]

here's another vote for goldeneye!!!

[psimonl]

Let me add another one I just finished and enjoyed a lot:

Max Payne 2: The fall of Max Payne

Must be one of the best story line I've played.

Very Noir detective, with a 50'S twist...

I am going to play it again in the near future...

Simon

BTW: stopped Dark Messiah... There is no spirit in it. Just a HL2 engine prouesse.

[Dr. Snubnose]

My Favorite First person shooter is the guy in front of me with the shotgun:p Doc:D

[Bayoublaster]

Call of Duty Series followed by Half Life series with Medal of Honor series earning an honorable mention (no pun intended or implied).

[GarageBoy]

Wolfenstien Enemy Territory, unpatched on TSF's server

[dmrllgr]

What I have not seen is the Timesplitters series. The first one was a launch title for the Playstation 2. Games were fast on it and it had tons of different games to play on it.

Wasn't that an xbox label too? I think I played that one time and it was pretty good.

[Stenny]

Airsoft and "having fun" with Simmunition... As much "first person shooter" as it gets without making holes into somebody:D.

[dmrllgr]

yeah, snuffaluff, the sequels were on the xbox I believe. What I really liked about it was that I could play it with my son who was 5 at the time. Even though it was a FPS, it was not too bloody for him.

[steeltiger]

I play goldeneye occasionaly but the only game for me is rare's PERFECT DARK the origanal on the n64 platform, it is a tremendous challenge and made big waves when it was finaly released, just wish they would release the cheats for it, I know they cant make anymore money off it so why not? I've had it for six years just now started on the final level, them skeddar are tough!

[Michael Cook]

:spyder: Unreal Tournament :spyder:

[JBE]

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and Joint Operations: Escalation and International Conflict mods....

[smcfalls13]

Favorite first person shooter? Can't count the Resident Evil series, because it's usually over the shoulder perspective.

That choice being knocked out, it has to be the old Counter-strike mod for half life. Nothing beats levels designed by college students with nothing better to do.

We used to get the whole dorm onto a server, and just decimate each other. I was only ever good with the AWP Sniper rifle and the knife, ironically enough.

.

Over the shoulder counts.....

MAX PAYNE is one of them and sure feels like a fps.

Another is Cold fear, on the rockin boat, that swotch from 3rd to fps...

So that counts in my book...

Simon

[smcfalls13]

Over the shoulder counts.....


Well if that's the case, than Resident Evil 2 takes the win hands down. With number 4 close behind. The camera angles in 2 made the whole game infinitely creepier, but the play control in 4 was far superior.

[A.P.F.]

Unreal Tournament 2004.
