Best FPS Ever?

goldeneye was good but deus ex was brilliant

great storyline, brilliantly deep gameplay. those who havent played it really should on account of me saying its so good.
 
Half Life 2. Followed by Quake and Doom 2. I was tempted to put Quake at the top though, because nothing will ever beat its atmosphere. And certainly nothing in the FPS world will ever displace its impact. It was the first properly 3D rather than 2.5D FPS. You actually had depth, literally!

Team Fortress 2 for multiplayer.
 
Borderlands might be up there, certainly everyone on my Steam list is playing it fairly constantly.
 
I used to play counterstrike all the time in the years before children happened. That was great. I actually got to be quite good at it.

I have never played a FPS vs computer. It just doesn't interest me. And those instant respawn FPS are so pointless. I loved the rounds thing with counterstrike. It was tactical. You could play well with certain people.

Yeah I dislike the respawn death match thing, much more a fan of short rounds where you die you die. I usually play Call of Duty on S&D Hardcore mode.

The early Counter Strike was awesome, nothing beats the tension of being the last person in your team left facing 3 or 4 of the bastards, the feeling of satisfaction as you stalk them down hasn't been recreated in any other game.

Unfortunately Counter Strike Source went noob tastic and you can now get running headshots with MP5's.
 
have you tried the 1 para or nango s&D servers?

no hopping, no noob tubes and no marty\last satnd

1 paras server is often packed and the nango one on a friday evening can be well fun once everyone gets pissed

oh sounds good.

we can all kiss good bye to little joys of finding a good server and getting to know people on it with MW2.

I'd have thought a clever marketing company would understand the benefits of user generated communities and the value they add to their product for fuck all, I mean where would world of warcraft be without the social element?
 
Left 4 dead hasn't been mentioned thatl be my vote, otherwise its Half life 2 and apologies for being such a valve fan boy here but 3rd on the list would probably be TF2 or Counter Strike.

Deus ex, Bioshock, Fallout 3 - All great games but if we're talking pure fps here I'm not sure they count, include in that list Stalker and the Thief series, these are RPG fps'eses. Acctully running around and shooting other people has imo been done best in games like Quake 3 and Painkiller they just didn't have the immersion and brillant subtly that more story/coop based fps' pull off.

Realism in shooters I'm not a big fan of despite sticking counter strike up there, COD has always been like playing through a war movie which is good in its own way and other more realistic shooters like ARMA just slow things down far too much. It's always more entertaining to be firing auto reload rockectlaunchers and taking explosions direct to the face while jumping around like a loon. Left 4 dead achieved the perfect balance between immersion and frenzy fps fun, its only downside... which is its major plus point as well, is that you can only get the most out of it playing coop.

in fact fuck it, half life 2 then, the father of all modern FPS. I'm a bottle and half of wine too soused to explain myself any better.

Quake 2 gets a mention as well.

resident evil is not 1st person and fallout 3 isn't a shooter.

all games you list are fantastic though.

er, yes they are. you play in the first person and you shoot people. is there a more precise definition that i should be aware of?
