OK-I love FPS games and I will be 60 in June! I know I should be watching This Old House or maybe some old movies with Dean Martin in them but no, damnit, life is way too short to not learn to play some of these incredible works of art. The game makers, especially the high action game makers are some of the most highly artistic people in the world. If you have never played one of these newer games, you are really missing out big time. They are so much fun to play and they have some great puzzles to keep the mind working overtime to figure out the next move.

I have been playing FPS, or Forst Person Shooter games for about 4 years now and I am completely hooked. I will give you my opinion on the best games as well as the best place to buy them.-I have to say that without a doubt, and it's really a well known fact that amoung the FPS games, none is better than Half Life 2-It's way beyong the others in the graphics, storytelling and just pure fun. We like to rate ganes as to their replay ability. In other worlds, how certain are you that you liked the game enough to play it again. That's the mark of a good game. That's the difference between a good game and a great game.-Here is my top 5 games. These are all single player as thats all I play.

1. Half Life 2
2.Fear 1
3. Halo 1
4.Max Payne 1
5. Max Payne 2
6. Alpha Prime
7.Deux Ex
8. Call Of Duty-all
9. Doom 3
10.This one will surprise you-it did me--Call Of Juarez

If you have not yet played Call, yoy should. This is a western game that has as much great fighting action as Call Of Duty! Only difference is the weapon types but the action is non stop, the story id fantastic, the whole look of this game is simply amazing. It's all outdoors and the waterfalls and rivers and mountains are done so good it looks like you can just reach out and touch them. The voice acting is great and the graphics as well as the physics puzzles are as good as Half Life 2! In fact, this game is real long like HL2 and it is a beautiful display of many hours of work putting it together.Now, for those that are kind of new to the new games and the best way to get involved, I too had no idea on what was good or bad and where to get them.

So,if you like FPS games and don't feel like spending tons of money every month on new games, you should try mods. Mod is short for modification.


 
Doom ....(All of them)
Quake ...( Same but Quake 2 for me because of the railgun)
Fear
FarCry
Duke Nukem ( Whatever happen to Duke Forever?) Still Vaporware
Time Shift... (Well I like it)
Half Life 1 & 2 plus episodes
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Unreal Tournament 1, 2004, and UT3
Call Of Duty (All of them)

I really tried hard to love Quake 3 but the railgun wasn't the same and the rocket launcher sounded like a big pop gun. I liked the increase in game speed but not the weapons as much as Quake 2. In Quake 3 they should have come out with new weapons. And I have yet to play a multiplayer game as insane a Chaos Deathmatch for Quake 2. Hands down my most favorite deathmatch mod EVER.

 
Are we on a time frame here?

because I didn't see anyone mention: No One Lives Forever 1 & 2, from 2000 and 2002 respectively.

If you didn't play them, do it. The sheer innovation and awesomeness will make you forget the old graphics. Even though I enjoy them. It's a nostalgia thing 😉

Seriously, NOLF 1 & 2. Go get'em now.
 
Deus Ex and Half Life 2 are IMO the greatest shooters of all time - they were the DNA that all games to present have been built on.
 
I agree with those guys above ... whu say S.T.A.L.K.E.R is the best >>>

Most of my friends didnt like it .... most of them love Racing ... or maybe they were just too stupid to play it ....
anyways >>> the eerie dark rainy atmosphere is the best i have ever seen ... it makes you feel it is raining even when it is hot outside 😀 ...
The underground parts , radioactivity theme .... and a lot make it a true Gem in Gaming .....
Other games i truly liked would be .....

ALONE IN THE DARK 5 .... Really tense game .. You will get a terrible spine chill >> just to get your car started when those weird things are right outside your windowpane.Man sometimes really scary !

F.E.A.R 2 Project Origin : I played the older ones ... but the new one is the one which shocked me truly ..... for me >> truly the best horrifying scariest experience ever .... good graphics >>> really great sound .... and one of a kind shooting experience .... and one turn off >>> i couldnt play the game alone at night ... too damn scary !

CALL OF DUTY 4 : Battleground .... this thing totally the best of War experience ive ever had !

SPLINTER CELL Double Agent : Loved the game a lot .... completed it a lot of times ... one turn on is its difficulty sometimes .... I love hard to play games ... really movie style good storyline action game ! King of STEALTH Games !

some people might disagree with my listing of Alone in the Dark or SPLINTER CELL .... but truly they are a one of kind .... not first person shooters >>> and secondly First persons are really enjoyable when they are Survival Horror ...

DO NOT PLAY THESE EVER ...EVER :

CRYSIS Warhead ... OR (shithead)

BLACKSITE AREA 51 ... (WTF ? Midway is going to have an Alien attack soon in their studio )

HELLGATE ... The Best of the Worst RPG's ever >>>dont even go near it ... cause youll feel like hanging yourself ... for the biggest mistake youve done !! : BUYING THE FU%$ING GAME

PAINKILLER OVERDOSE ... Arhggghh ... i wasted my money *** ... better if i could buy some Painkillers before playing this game 😀

THAT ALL : And dont forger S.T.A.L.K.E.R .. 1 & 2

This is how I felt for a long time. Seeing how you classified this as a FPS (which it kind of is to a certain degree) I'm assuming you went on the marksman track (I believe that would give you the sniper person or the engineer). I did too and found the game to be a really crappy FPS. A year and half+ later though I re-installed the game and re-rolled a evoker. I don't know how/why but everytime I play I have a blast. Almost to the point I look forward to playing. Unfortunately because of finals coming around the bend I haven't touched it in a week or two, but it will make a nice 'treat' once I'm finished (seeing how I'm doing pretty good.)

Give it one more try without playing the shooter type classes, you might recover what you thought was wasted money.

nothing is realistic up to date almost 7 years after rvs release.

peoples need to come back to this game it almost dying

and it still the best realistic adult game.
 
Crysis Warhead is great . Way too short though. At the end I get a new weapon that really brought the big boys down fast I'm thinking it's time to go back into the sphere for some payback and the game is over.
 
StarSiege Tribes (my utter most favorite, I miss it)
-Anni Mod

Duke Nukem 3D
Quake I, II
Far Cry,
HL, HL2
CounterStrike (before it became HackerStrike)
Rainbow Six
Left 4 Dead
Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat Mod
 
My personal all-time favorite First Person Shooter (fps) would have to be:

"Deus Ex" - one of the true originals.

A second would be "System Shock II."

Thirdly, would be "No One Lives Forever II" (Ms. Bond shows James how it's done).

Fourthly, "Half-Life I."

Fifthly, "Doom 2."


My one unfinished and quickly deleted game..."Far Cry 2." A shame really, part 1 was enjoyable.
 



Yeah.. I agree. Left4dead rocks also.
 
lol honestly im always got thrilled and sometimes i dont want to comtinue to play that, sometimes i feel creepy ~

actually it totally rocks ^^
 
it sounds funny even though im still continuing and play this one right after playing atlantica...

counter-strike 1.5/1.6 is EASILY the best FPS ever to live. it's has been more successful than any other FPS out there for a while. it's 10 years old and STILL stronger than most FPS games out today. the game play is what attracts everybody. yes the graphics are horrible, but who cares? there is STILL no FPS out there to match the gameplay of counterstrike. COD4 was a great game, amazing graphics, but game play is horrible.
 
if you like online fps you should try team fortress 2. And if you like hackers and cheaters you should try counter strike. For single player i love medal of honor, brothers in arms, max payne 2
 
the only people who seem to worry about cheaters and have to deal with them are people who play pubs or don't go to lans..
 
well here r few of my favorites (in chronological order ):
DUKE NUKEM 3d ( it was way batter than quake , adult contents besides 😉 )

quake 2 ( cooool , it was a good shooter, i specially liked the no amunition pistol)

half life one ( as innovative as u could ever get)

undying ( understated , yet one of the best ever)

quake3,ut

cod2 (wasn't much squad based unlike other cod titles later on )

doom3 , quake 4( id3 engine was cool, doom3 woudl sure make u jumpy )

cod3

half life 2 ( BEST FPS EVER)

stalker ( if u dont play it right, u will soon loose interest )

far cry ( FRY CRY 2 IS PATHETIC DONT EVER BUY IT)

FEAR ( the game is fun, combat is thrilling , but yeah its not an horror game as advertised )

cod 4

crysis warhead (u will love 'pscycho' as opposed to pathetic 'nomad' of crysis )

call of juarez 2 ( second best innovative fps ever after half life, though its short but its whole new combat system, A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FPS LOVER )

COD5,6
