The best first person shooter ever...

Well yeah... You may notice that each of the games I selected were the stepping stones of the First Person Shooters of the fully 3d rendered era. Doom was good for its time, and Duke Nukem 3D was always a favorite of mine. However neither were truly 3D, nor did they have anything in the way of realistically designed levels or objects (Though Duke Nukem was very impressive to a 6-7 year old).

Anyway; Here is how I'd rate them as being the most memorable:

1. GoldenEye 007
[ties with]
1. Medal of Honor & MoH: Underground
2. TimeSplitters FP
3. Duke Nukem 3D
4. TimeSplitters 2
5. Killzone
6. Black
[ties with]
6. Cold Winter (amazing game)
7. Perfect Dark (N64)
8. Call of Duty 4
9. DooM
10. James Bond - Nightfire (wasn't bad)

You forgot to put Halo on that list. It is in my opinion, one of the most fun FPS's around.

Wolfenstein

There is no game in the genre that I like better than Crysis and Crysis Warhead, imo the best that are out atm Half Life 2 with it's exspansions coming VERY close 🙂

It's been more than a month and I can certainly say that MW2 deserves to be in the top 5 best shooters of all time. Best friggin shooter in YEARS!

MW2 is EPIC WIN.

in no particular order...

Half-Life 2 (all games and episodes counted) for atmosphere, originality in design, and realization of the HL world. It was stunning from moment to moment, each new chapter bringing another fan-bloody-tastic set piece.

Modern Warfare as a set, so far... for intense action, and "wow..THAT was cooool" moments, ie; Gulag beginning, and the entirety of 'All Gillied Up' - imo prolly the best fpshooter chapter in gaming history.

Deus Ex, best dystopian story telling in any game ever, THE game for the conspiracy lover, horrible graphically, but even so, that surely makes the case that Story/Gameplay >> Graphics. Very nice set pieces aswell, namely the defence and escape from Pauls aprtment in Hells kitchen, and the infiltration of the Ocean Lab complex, heart pounding on the first playthrough My personal Fav.

F.E.A.R - No game before or since has made me shit my pants like it. Gunplay was also awsome, epitome of atmospheric. First time i fought "smart" AI.

and finally, Bioshock. Creepy as hell, wonderfully realised world, best sound design in any fps, somthing about the 50s soundtrack gave me the right willies. Originality was spot on. Compelling gaming any way you slice it. The way ammo was always scarce kept you on edge, limited resources always make for a more adreniline filled experience.

Honourable mention to Goldneye multiplayer for obvious reasons.
