Your favourite FPS?

[jawathehutt]

Call of Duty (1&2): 3 and 4 bite. But, these are pretty fun. I especially enjoy the first one, but throwing potato grenades in the second is also fun. But, I have a question, am I the only person that will throw away a Thompson in favor of a M1?

I do in CoD 2, the thompson blows in that game.

And I agree with MoHAA up to the sniper mission. After that it just gets absurdly difficult. I like having difficulty in my games. I dont like having to face snipers that require suciding your self to find, so you can reload and attempt to kill them. I especially don't like when there is an entire town filled with these snipers.

Ghost Recon series. GRAW 2 ftw.

[Rathoris]

Anyone like ST Voyager: Elite Force?

 

Jop, finished that game 4 times or something and was addicted to the multiplayer for a few years. Love it (EF II blows though)

[jawathehutt]

Ghost Recon series. GRAW 2 ftw.

 

Ghost Recon and GRAW arent the in the same game series, never make that mistake again

[Miltiades]

Don't the G & R in GRAW stand for Ghost Recon?

[mimartin]

Bioshock also kick ass.

God. My memory sucks always for some reason. Thats on my list as well

Bioshock is the top of my list.

Halo (the original)

I also really liked Mercenaries.

hes got a point and mine are Republic Commando

the call of duty franchise and Resident Evil 4 that game was freakin awesome

[Marius Fett]

The original Dark Forces ftw!

Only ever played a short demo of Republic Commando, but it was very good. As for CoD, I wasn't too fond of the Second World War versions, but Modern Warfare had to be one of the best.

The Half-Life series and all its various mods will rule the FPS genre as long as Valve survives. If we had to declare a ruler over the FPS, it would have to be Valve.

 

Things like Halo, Call of duty series, etc are fun and I've played all of them, but don't compare them to the Half-Life series.

[jawathehutt]

I played a demo of GRAW, and it is as Ghost Recon as rainbow six vegas is rainbow six. And I that I mean its not at all ghost recon, its just a twitch shooter with a few tactical gimmicks thrown in for giggles.

Yes however this was after Ubicrap bought out Red Storm Entertainment. Ubicrap then proceeded to made both Tactical Shooter series (Ghost Recon (outdoor) & Rainbow 6 (indoor)) into games for the button mashing ADHD console kiddies. The last game in the series that I bought was Raven Shield. When I couldn't control my teammates in the game I knew it would be my last game purchased from Ubicrap except for good sims like the il-2 series.

 

Under RSE = great slow paced Tactical Shooters.

 

Under Ubicrap = fast paced FPS with very limited Tactical control.

[GodsillY]

My favorite games would have to be

 

Unreal Tournament well anyone before 3 was released anyways, I dunno why nobody said UT

 

Halo Series

 

and Gears which I am also surprised was not mentioned

 

and SWBF cause I play it in First person

[stingerhs]

^^^^

nobody has mentioned Gears of War because its a Third person shooter, not a First Person Shooter.

 

for me, Crysis tops my list. some people are quick to point out that the game isn't playable on a system that isn't uber-god like, but that's simply not the case. game requirement issues aside, Crysis has some of the best gameplay of any game ever. attacking an enemy-held strongpoint has never had this kind of open world and on-the-fly tactics. you can attack the strongpoint depending entirely on your own situation whether you need a stealthy approach to outflank and outwit the excellent AI or whether you want to just run in guns blazing. then, you can shift between these tactics on the fly thanks to the seamless armor modes on the nanosuit.

 

my only complaints with this game is that vehicles feel a little weak, and once you get past the human enemies, the game does become quite a bit more linear. despite that, the game is just a blast to play, and the combination of eye candy and ground breaking physics just adds to the experience. the sound design is also extremely well done as the voice acting, sound fx, and the music are all top notch.

 

if you haven't played this one yet because you're worried about high system requirements, don't worry too much. the game still looks amazing on medium settings, and it still matches most games graphically on low settings. its quite a bit cheaper now, too, so that's just a bonus.

Doom II...

 

Yeah I know you kiddies think its like old or something, but it was da' shiznit back in da day! First game I used mods on and I still have some of em... Doom Control Center and hundreds of maps (my favorite was a map called BigCity).

Pathways Into Darkness

 

Mixing shooter, survival horror adventure and roleplaying game elements. It was a fun game with a rather peculiar "dialog" system that much of the story telling was delivered through.

 

Slightly more recent notable ones, that are also hybrids mixing FPS with other genres, are Deus Ex and System Shock 2.

[True_Avery]

Personally I'm waiting for Farcry 2. Everything about that looks fantastic, and hopefully it will deliver.

[SW01]

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this one - Time Crisis! The arcade classic with the oversized blue and pink plastic guns and reload pedal! Spent hundreds of pounds on that thing and wasted weeks of my life...

...still didn't beat the high score!

[RC-1183]

hmm... dont guess ive played it

[ForeverNight]

Ughh.... I hate time crisis with a passion. The game, to me, is lacking in every department.

 

Graphics: As of TC4 -Outdated and too arcade-ish.

Gameplay: Wow... I take this plasticy pistol thingymajigger and point it at a screen and press a trigger... wow... It's like it belongs in an arcade, oh, wait a second.

Story: Is there even one?

 

Maybe I haven't played it enough, who knows, but I really dislike that game.

Don't get me wrong, the console versions were utterly awful! I liked the arcade original. I played it once on the PS1 then never again...

[GeneralPloKoon]

I loved Time Crisis, but Its nowhere even on my top 100!!!! Still people, you gotta try Half-Life!

[Sigundr]

Yes, Half-Life does seem to take the cake, though HL2 delivers, and HL2: DM blew my pants off. Bloody great game, though, the grabbing the nade with the grav gun sorta took the wind outta my sails.

[Rogue15]

Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things.

[Titanius Anglesmith]

I'm going to have to go with Crysis here. I've never had more fun with a FPS than I have the multiple times I've played through Crysis. The gameplay and graphics astounded me, and I quite enjoyed the voice acting as well, especially from Psycho. I'm definitely looking forward to Warhead next month.
