MY favourite shooters this gen are:-

DUST 514- I was in the beta testing for this one because I am PSPlus member. Although I can't play it anymore due to me PS3 YLODing, I loved it while I played it. It is one of the most tactical shooters I have ever played.

CS:GO- I do not own this game, but I tried the 1 hour trial. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I will get this game as soon as I am able to.

For online MP, the Battlefield games. COD4 MP had me hooked for a while but once I dipped into BFBC I didn't look back, then I naturally went on to BFBC2, BF1943, BF3.

The STALKER series is pretty fantastic as far as more tactical, atmospheric shooters go. Playing STALKER on master difficulty is truly an awesome experience, especially with a good set of headphones.

Zeno Clash was really great. Probably the best first person melee combat I've ever played. Not strictly a "shooter" I guess.

Overall this generation has been pretty disappointing when it comes to shooters. The two weapons at a time, regenerating health, linear cinematic crap that has plagued the genre is really lame. I get that it's the sort of thing that sells to casuals, and some pretty decent games have used it, but I'd much prefer if shooters started going in a different direction. If a game with those mechanics is good, it's in spite of them, not because of them.

This generation has been a horrific mess of modern and sci-fi shooters, although I suppose it's a testament to others that I can still list some that I enjoyed. Gears of War - all of them, two less so (and I have not played the most recent spinoff). This is the only sci-fi shooter that I could stand, and I'm still not entirely sure why that is, considering the sea of Halos and Hazes and Resistances and Killzones and holy jesus. Bioshocks - Part of me hesitates to call them shooters as it's certainly not the shooting mechanics that make them fun to play or unique. The Darkness - have yet to play the sequel but man did I love the atmosphere of the first game. It's also one of the few games (if not the only) this generation to make me feel for a character's death, even when you can kind of see it coming. Left 4 Deads - multiplayer co-op shooting at its finest, near perfect pacing and lots of zombie splattering. Borderlands - Both, even if the first benefited from its newness and the second sort of wallowed in its popularity. Like Bioshock the shooting isn't the best thing ever but the loot whoring mostly works and the humour isn't terrible even when it's forced (and in Borderlands 2, they force it, a lot). I'll probably think of more but those are the only ones that come to mind. If I made a list of ones I did not enjoy it would include Killzone, Resistance, Haze, MAG, Binary Domain, Max Payne, Call of Duty, Hour of Victory, Aliens vs Predator, etc etc etc. Halo would sit in the indifferent section.

Just keep in mind the gameplay mechanics are a little sluggish and generic, it's really more about the story and the way the game makes you "feel" about what you're doing.
