2. First use of 3D models? Quake

3. First use of iron sights? Hidden and Dangerous

4. First use of charactors that fight on your side? Marathon, the defence robots

5. First use of a scoped weapon, the birth of sniping? Outlaws

6. First use of a modern setting?

7. First use of reloading? Marathon

8. First use of squad controls? Damage Incorperated

9. First use of muliplayer? Doom

10. First use of objective based muliplayer? i.e. beyond deathmatch and team deathmatch

11. First use of vehicles?

OK I done some homework.

The first use of proper 3d levels into a 1st person shooter was not actually Quake. But Terminator Future shock. We mean proper 3d, as in room over room. Games like Doom and duke nukem were just walls and ceilings.

I believe the first sniper FPS was Midwinter for the Amiga, which featured a scope. Half life was definitely the first to introduce companions.

The first use of reloading. Virtual Cop probably :D but if light gun games don't count then... I can only think of half life being the first proper FPS game that featured a reload gun key, complete with proper animation.

First FPS in which you could level up your character?

Perfect Dark

How about first exploding barrel? Goldeneye maybe?Travo_basic

I think Quake 2 or Doom 2 might have beaten it.

Jedi Knight doesn't count. It wasn't exclusively first-person.

Ok, then, System Shock (1994). Perfect Dark (2000) wasn't first in that regard by a long shot.

Im pretty sure Wolfenstien 3D isnt getting the love it deserves!POJO_MOFO

All of these answers are Faceball 2000 for the Gameboy, which was proclaimed the first modern FPS.

No... The control scheme on Halo wasn't to good. I didn't even like it all infact!EyeWierd20

Weren't there a bunch of games from the 80's that did some of these things long before games like Wolfenstein?foxhound_fox

Only if you're referring to light gun games or some other genre. Wolfenstein WAS the first FPS.

No. What about Catacomb 3d?? and many others 80´s could be considered FPS. Maze war for example

...and then there were games like Ultima Underworld, which was released just before Wolf3D but was far more technically advanced. It was more of an action-RPG than a shooter, but it was essentially the same thing.

Actually I believe goldeneye 007 was the first game to use reloading.UT_Wrestler

No, I'm fairly certain that games like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior had reloading long before Goldeneye.

I think Goldeneye's innovation was locational damage (headshots, groinshots, etc).

Jedi Knight doesn't count. It wasn't exclusively first-person.

EnigManic

Oh, come on: now Jedi Knight doesn't count as an FPS because it has switchable cameras? It defined the 3D FPS genre.

Jedi Knight was the absolute bomb. That game did so many things right. And yes, of course it was first-person shooter. :)

Man, I wish I owned that game.

But, you have to remember that Faceball 2000 was based on MIDI Maze, which was released 4 years earlier for the Atari ST.

Probably the First First Person game ever:

Tunnel Runner -- Atari 2600

Ummm...

The original Doom had exploding barrels.

No, was barely good then, it won't be fun now. Even if you found four copies and 4-wayed your Game Boys with three friends.

I never knew Faceball 2000 had inspiration, the only reason I rented it was because Nintendo Power hyped it up.

I played PD extensively and can't for the life of me remeber 'levelling up' Joan. ...is my memory just shot or something?

I want to know what the first FPS with a story as a central part of the game was...
