What's the Greatest FPS?

**samejamesbond** · 07-11-2009, 03:19 PM

The title says it all.

One of the most influential genres,
It's safe to say almost every gamer has played one.

**mj23** · 07-11-2009, 03:31 PM

none of those are the best and im not the only one that says it

shadowrun

but from the poll i would say cod 4

**joeguy300** · 07-11-2009, 03:49 PM

Shadowrun is great, do you play on Xbox or PC? either way add me GT: CR0553D

I had to go with Halo: CE, I will always view that as not only the best game in the Halo franchise, but a complete and total innovation towards console FPS's, almost every FPS I play today I can see parallels to that game.

I actually really love Counter Strike though.

tough, tough choice, i can find merits in most of those titles. wolfenstein and doom were probably the titles that brought the masses to the fps genre, simply because it was shareware.

halflife 2 is a great title, not to mention part of a great franchise.

halo and goldeneye were both the elite fps titles for their respective consoles.

storyline wise, half life 2 and bioshock are both ace.

if you are going to have counterstrike, then i think you also need to have unreal tournament, both multiplayer fps oriented.

i think my vote goes to cod 4, i'm not saying that it is the best, but it is the one i enjoy playing the most.

**sezthemank** · 07-11-2009, 07:16 PM

Just cause I'm wondering how did you get started in Shadowrun? I personally started playing because I'm a big MLG fan, and I have heard a lot of things about the competitive value of the game from there.
(I'm pretty bad at it though

im not great either but i have my good games

and i learned about it from dudebro on here

**Kugyince** · 07-11-2009, 10:50 PM

The only ones on there that I've ever played are Duke, Doom, and Quake and I wasn't a fan of any of them. The only FPS that I semi-enjoyed was Turok.

It sucks too. All of my gamer friends own either a PS3 or a 360 and are always playing online FPSs. I wish they appealed to me.

**DrunkN** · 07-11-2009, 10:52 PM

My favorite on the list:

Counter-Strike

**mj23** · 07-11-2009, 10:56 PM

another good but VERY controversial game but a good fps

postal 2

**jim5cents** · 07-11-2009, 11:00 PM

i also liked tribes, that was a good multiplayer based fps.

Yeah Shadowrun is hardcore. Once you get the hang of it you'll understand why people play it religiously even though it had no DLC and the company folded before it could alter anything(besides a few needed bug fixes). It's that damn good.

GT: CR0553D

I know I've seen that name before. My name on xbox is unyobro. I usually play late nights with my brother sumostomp and some friends.

I'll add you soon and hopefully we can get a game going.

You might recognize me by that name from a few places (If you look it up on google I'm the only result

), but the name sumostomp sounds familiar too. I remember a little while ago I used to play with two brothers on Halo, I wonder....

Do you play steam or non-steam? add me my Steam ID is: CR0553D

**OldTimer** · 07-12-2009, 11:18 AM

I started my first real shooter with golden eye besides the dooms and wolfys.

but I have to say shadowrun has a cult following and I get yelled at playing that game the most from the wife. She just doesn't understand about rez....

You should try Bioshock.
It's very different from other First-Person Shooters.

So many times I get tossed into a room with a team full of elves and I'm the only one who will Rez :mad: Earlier today actually I played two games in a row where the first one I got 11 rez's and the second I had 12.

no it isn't, it just has a story that doesn't suck.

**CatalystiCam** · 07-12-2009, 02:03 PM

Doom, definitely Doom, Wolfenstein3D is runner up.

**laserboy1134** · 07-12-2009, 03:11 PM

Goldeneye brought the FPS genre to consoles, delivered the perfect multiplayer experience, and proved how great movie games could be.

**Kugyince** · 07-12-2009, 04:02 PM

Yeah, I checked out a BioShock game play video on youtube and it wasn't any different. I'm sure its a great game, I just don't like the genre at all. Which kind of sucks since that's what the market is flooded with and where developers pump the majority of their budgets on.

I loved Goldeneye but it wasn't the first to go to consoles. Doom and Wolfenstien did it first and did it awesome(for the snes limitations). Goldeneye did have multiplayer though so it does make it notable. But, I think Perfect Dark was much better.

I voted for Doom since it was the first huge success and it paved the way for all the other FPSs(and it was just awesome).

I'm almost 100% sure I remember your name from SR. I don't recall any names from Halo or other games.
I doubt the brothers you played with were us. I didn't have my own 360 when I played Halo3, I played on sumostomp and kinga812 back then.

Btw you might know sumostomp because he plays SR pretty much daily. He likes to trash talk about his use of strangle if that helps jog your memory.

I'm in a lot of those games too. I always buy rez even when I play as troll. I've gotten to the point where I'll ask people to buy it, if they don't and it's late in the game I'll either team kill them out of anger or wait for them to die and taunt them by rezzing just out of reach of thier body. I'm fed up with people playing a team game and not thinking of the team.

**mj23** · 07-12-2009, 10:15 PM
