Well I used to play competitively, so some of the games that I list may vary in comparison to alot of other peoples opinions, but here we go:

In random order...

Wolfenstein 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
DooM
Quake
Quake 3 Arena (compeitive impact)
UT99
UT2K4 (compeitive impact)
Half Life Series
Counter Strike
Team Fortress Classic
Day of Defeat
Call of Duty 4
Battlefield 1942 w/ Dessert Combat Mod
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Normally I wouldnt put multiple games in a single series on the list (usually just the best of the series imo), but Q3 and UT2K4 were what I played in competitions and the originals are the reasons as to why I started like those types of games. The Half Life series just flat out deserves it.

The way I chose most of the games I did was either the impact that they had on the genre (or sub-genres within the FPS genre in general) and then just overall enjoyment that I personally had with them as well as noticed that my friends/others had as well.

I am currently playing warsow. I cant put it on the list as I have only been playing it for alittle over a month now, but I cant pull myself away from it. I think that if it were to ever get big enough to make it into the large competitive scene I may actually get envolved again. It trully has that much potential imo.

Will add more if anything else comes to mind.

Best,

Yea I hope that in some way they impliment CPMA into Quake Live.

Well, I never played ccompetitively and generally go for FPS titles that offer up innovative gameplay and fun stories. So I would list the Thief games, the first two No One Lives Forever games, HL2, Jedi Knight and Clive Barker's Undying.
 
My opinion?

All UT games. (a better quake version?)
Crysis (pretty good for kids 😛)
Fear (if you are not homo)
Rainbow six (a bit realistic in dificulty, typical tom clancy work..)
GHost recon(again?)
Lost Planet (Actually is 3rd person shooting)
Quake 2 rulz (way better than the 3rd)
Shogo mobile armour division (way better than half-life.. even in graphics and i am talking about half life 1)
call of duty 1 (best version from 1 until 3)
call of duty 4 (graphics are better only)

Just to add .. starcraft ghost.. but it never came out.

Worms Armageddon rulz .. lol
 
Best FPS of 2000 so far:

Stalker- Shadows of Chernobyl

- Once you patch this bad boy and get a weight mod increase, it's far and away the best FPS shooter in existence.
I am american, 35, have gamed since games existed..literally. It has no equal.

The best part for me is that after completing it the first time with patch only, I played it heavily modded and enjoyed it all over again. A year later, I'm getting the latest of two conversion mods, and am enjoying it yet again.
Why so fun?

- story + open content = best of both worlds (do not think fallout3, this makes fallout3 look like the sad platform ghost town, horrible combat game it is)
- getting a gun is COOL, scoping it is COOL, different ammo loadouts, the sounds...head shots, night vision - it's the real deal.
- The radiation/artifact elements make it eerie and immersive.
- the levels are absurdly realistic IMO, I've seen photos of the ferris wheel near Chernobyl, I swear I've been there in stalker.
- fighting is fun. getting loot to sell is fun. That is the clincher...the key aspect of the game is just plain fun to engage in.
- there are real reasons to use AR vs sniper vs shotgun, nade launcher, etc...and there are many types of each
- the mods make the game almost like an expansion pack...for free.
- AI is nice. Opponents hide, crouch, come around corners, and otherwise don't funnel into a death zone to be nuked to death like lemmings. (Clear sky does have some grenade-fetish but it rarely killed me)

Stalker - Clear Sky is the second best FPS out there (Expansion for Stalker SOC kind of). Although it is still new and doesn't have total conversion mods yet, it was also a lot of fun.

I'd say COD4 is the best multiplayer hands-down, but the single player game was absurd.
Crysis wasn't bad, but it's about 60% of what Stalker is. And everything that makes Crysis good, Stalker does better IMO, and a lot more of it.
FEAR is a clumsy console-feeling game next to stalker, no comparison.
All of the "Squad based" FPS are neat, but nowhere near as thrilling as open/creepy yet oddly realistic feeling that Stalker brings. I play them all quakes, dooms, crysis, ever since wolfenstein, and Stalker is the king so far.

Stalker at release was so buggy it was a joke, same with Clear Sky I hear. I just got both after they were well patched and never once thought they were anything other than landmark achievements in Ukrainian freedom, as yet untainted by corporate mass-market crap games.
 
Couldn't agree with you more. I am a 52 year old south African and have been playing FPS games since the very first Wolfenstein came on the scene. I've played every possible shooter out there over the years. There are lots of good ones.
I particularly enjoyed the Alien vs Predator games, Soldier of Fortune II, Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare, Far Cry, Crysis etc. My favourites are Doom I, II and II (of course) and Quake I, II and IV. But I must say that none of these games made such an impact on me as S.T.Al.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky.
All the things you stated are 100% correct. The atmosphere of the game is unbelieveable! The devastated areas, the eerieness of some areas, especially the underground areas, the radiation that you need to avoid, the opiness of the game etc. You just get so involved in the whole game, in all the aspects of gameplay, like trading, exploring, doing side missions etc, and then of course playing the actual storyline till the end. Great game.
Yes, it does have some problems and bugs, but if you can get over that, what a game. The biggest pain in the game itself is the weight limitation and you therefore constantly need to decide what you are going to pick up and what you are going to leave behind. Great stuff.
The only problem for me was that after I've played this game, the others seemed so dull and plain and simple, that it really took me a while to get into some of them. I am playing Crysis - Warhead, Far Cry 2 and Dead Space now. I really hope there is going to be another followup or expansion!
 
Interesting...i lost interest in Stalker about halfway through and havent touched it for some months now. Might have to try and get back into it..
 
Wolf3D
R6 Rogue Spear
Doom
Quake2
Duke Nukem 3D
STALKER SOC - Truly one of the greatest
BF1942
Starsiege Tribes
LEFT 4 DEAD!!!

With stalker, you can't walk away imo. I did that for a few months and came back to "wtf? where am I and what am I doing".
 
I've played a lot of FPS games since the first Wolfenstein in 1992.
I'll skip over the titles that everyone knows and will mention one unique and maybe less known first person shooter game that I really enjoyed: "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth". This game is a "must" for any first-person shooter gamer who likes survival horror genre! 😉


Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (made by Bethesda during the same years when they were working on The Elder Scrolls 3: Oblivion)

+ survival horror with a nice story (player's character is a private detective)

+ sometimes you are roaming or skulking in almost complete isolation, trying to survive and stay sane; sometimes you are involved in "mass scale" intense "Call of Duty"-like gunfights or action scenarios (San Fransisco police storm a mansion, FBI forces raid a factory, the army storms some occultist mansion, a battleship and its crew defend against an attack at sea).

+ some scenes during the gameplay you'll never forget (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrddtGDC6hc&feature=related) <- watch 06:20 - 8:00 :ouch:

+ going insane when looking at gory or scary things, getting hurt or running out of bullets (blurry vision, hallucinations, shakes, character starting speaking to himself and he can even commit suicide if insanity gets to extreme)

+ somewhat realistic injury system (for example, if you get shot in the leg, you start to limp, if you fall and break your leg, you start to limp in a different way, then you need to pull out a medikit and use it, which takes 5-6 seconds)

+ some very exciting chase scenarios, somewhat like in "Call of Duty" or "Thief" games (an escape from a town on a truck or a scene in which angry mob storm a hotel where your character was spending his night and you must escape from them without any weapon through the town, bolting doors, pushing furniture, dodging bullets, hiding in shadows)

 
I was surprised to see a mention of Shogo: MAD, that game was really fun on multi player. I was a little disappointed it took awhile for someone to mention the Aliens Vs Predator series. Unfortunately the multi player servers were taken down, essentially ending its existence. But the memories will remain, many good times down that path.

Also, for a good laugh, try and get Blood 2: The Chosen :)

 
Alien Vs Predator 1 - I remember playing that for ages back in the day, it was the first game that I played that put a hurting on my 3DFX Voodoo 1 and I was forced to play the game at lower settings to get a smooth frame rate.

No love for Star Wars games around here? Dark Forces 1 & 2, Jedi Knight series? Shame.
 
counter strike and left for dead and also there a fps that will be released for southeast Asians but i forgot the name its kind a look like a gundam something like robotics in features.. well an way thats all ...
