A FPS with a long Single Player?

Does anyone know of a good First person shooter with a long or over 10 hour single player. It doesn't matter if it has Multiplayer. Also if it had a feature where i could have a skirmish or setup my own games, that would be great. I think BF2 has it but does any others?

Thanks for the help

1. Bioshock: Really long 15-20 hour campaign. Depends on whether or not you'll enjoy it. I loved for its story, adventure, and environment, and powers. The actual shooting is actually kind of fail, when you look at it. But it can be really fun to catch a grenade and throw it back at someone.

2. Halo: Combat Evolved: While you probably have played it before, play it again. It's 12 hours long of quality, intense, and awesome shooting. Of course, you need to learn how to play it properly. The only thing you need to know is: Strafe, jump, and throw plasma grenades (they stick to people, vehicles, and etc). So yeah.

3. Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30: Insanely difficult, yes, but insanely fun as well.

4. Freespace 2: Freespace 2 is one of the best shooters ever. Yes, it is a flight sim in outer space but the sheer awesomeness of it is too great to be compared with anything else. You'll be hard-pressed to find any better action. (If you have a new comp, I'd suggest getting the latest freespace 2 graphics update thing).

5. Half Life 1/2: While I didn't like them much at all, some really, really did. Half Life 1 takes time to get to the juicy bits, but once it does....

Half Life 2 is way more adventure than shooting (the shooting really, really, really sucks), so if you enjoy adventure, play half Life 2.

6. Borderlands: A surprisingly shooty RPG. It's very fun with buds, but isn't bad alone, either.

7. F.E.A.R: I'm guessing you probably don't do scary games. Well, Bioshock and F.E.A.R aren't really scary. In fact, they're a lot more awesome than they are scary. F.E.A.R has the most intense shootouts i have seen, ever. It's sooo awesome, and when you couple it with slow motion, it's even better. The only scary bits in F.E.A.R is the atmosphere, and Alma constantly appearing everywhere, but this doesn't really affect you gameplaywise. The only thing that can hit you are these weird ghost things that smack you, and you just shoot them once and they're dead. So F.E.A.R is an awesome choice.

8. No One Lives Forever (1 and 2): FUN! While it is sort of a stealth shooter, shooting still is Ok-ish. 20 HOURS LONG.

9. Deus Ex: If you don't mind the emphasis on stealth, you'll like it a lot. About 20 hours.

10. Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay: While it actually is basically exactly 10 hours long, it's 10 hours of quality stealth, shooting, and intense gameplay. I loved it. YOu will too.

11. Crysis: 10-12 hours. I didn't like it all that much because your suit powers can't be used in conjuction with each other, which sucks. Fun otherwise, if you liked Far Cry.

12. Far Cry: 20 hours or more. If you like a more realistic take on shooting than all out insanity, Far Cry is a pretty good choice. I personally prefer Halo-ish gameplay to realism, so I didn't like it.

13. Left 4 Dead: If you don't mind the zombies, Left 4 Dead stands tall as an insanely intense shooter.

14. Star Wars Jedi Outcast: 12 hours. Once it gets to the great bits, Jedi Outcast is truly amazing.

15. Quake 1, 2, and 4: While 1 and 2 may be kind of short, it's really, really crazy action. A bit old by today's standards, though.

16. Clive Barker's Undying: While it's pretty creepy, it's definitely fun. Fast paced, violent action.

17. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter: Perhaps the most intense shooter, ever. 12 hours action. 300 enemies on screen at once. All the time.

18. Aliens Vs. Predator 2: The old 2001 game, not the new crappy one. It's awesome. For every campaign.

19. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Old, but the multiplayer can't be beat. Campaign is merely ok.

20. Starsiege Tribes: A bit on the easy side, but it can be really fun.

DISREGARDING SHORTNESS RULE:

1. Call of Duty series: I beat each in under 10 hours.

2. Medal of Honor series: Same as previous

3. Star Wars: Republic Commando: Just like Halo, except 8-9 hours.

4. Halo 2: A great game, but only for Vista, and short. So play if you LOVED number one (like I did).

5. Portal: Not a shooter, per se, but really fun.

DISREGARDING FPS rule:

1. Max Payne 1 and 2: It's basically a shooter, except third person, and you can use slow mo and shootdodges. Hard, but REALLY FUn

2. Stranglehold: Basically Max Payne 2 on steroids, so enjoy.

3. Gears of War: An insanely fun shooter. CHAINSAW KILLS

4. Resident Evil 4 and 5: 4 is quite scary towards the middle, but well worth it. 5 isn't scary at all.

5. Giants Citizen Kabuto: A really, really, really, fun shooter that has you on a beautiful island with buddies. 3 campaigns; each about 6-10 hours.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! 30 quality shooters, each one as awesome as the other. If you play all of them, you'll be playing for give or take 300 hours. HAVE FUN!!!!!

^ Thanks A lot seriously great list and explaination.

I would say Half life 2 and its episodes

OOOOH! I got something:

-Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix = REALLY LENGTHY, and requires more brains in modern combat than Quake/Counter-Strike players need (if played in the Hardest Setting)

-Project IGI = Like COD/Rainbow Six, Lots of missions, but many of it's missions requires a lot of thinking before execute a gunfight or a stealth approach.

Definitely Half-Life 2. I spent over 40 hours on that game.

Most of it has already been mentioned, but I'll give my own take on a few games:

Crysis 1: how long it takes really depends on your playstyIe, but when you play on the highest difficulty and rely on your stealth, you can get a lot of hours of enjoyment out of this. I just started a third playthrough (the game is VERY replayable) and spent about 2 hours on the first level alone.

Crysis 2: About 10 hours long. Again it depends on how you play, but it is a lot more linear than the first Crysis, so don't expect to stretch it for too long.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl: Probably over 20 hours, depending on what you do. Call of Pripyat is shorter, but has really fun side missions that guarantee about 15-20 hours of gameplay. Clear Sky is only worth a try if you like the other 2 games, but it's also very long.

BioShock: Took me 10 hours, but some people report having spent about 20 hours on this game in total. That seems a bit exaggerated to me, but this game has a pretty lengthy single player portion. I personally prefer the sequel, but it is shorter.

Far Cry 2: Has a lot of flaws, but can still be very enjoyable if you look past them. I beat it in about 15 hours, but it can take a lot longer if you do more side missions and secondary objectives.

ArmA II: I don't know how long the single player campaign is, but you can set up your own scenarios, missions and even campaigns in the fantastic editor. It takes a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to spend over 100 hours on this game without touching the multiplayer mode.

Star Wars Battlefront II: It's like Battlefield, but I personally like it even better. It allows you to set up your own skirmishes, which is very addicting. Runs crappy on ATI cards, though.

Half-Life 2: Took me about 13-14 hours, so it's definitely lengthy. I thought it dragged on for way too long, though. But many people seem to love every second of it, so it's definitely recommendable.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath: It's about 15 hours long and has one of the best, most unique FPS campaigns I've ever played. HOWEVER, the PC port is very problematic: it doesn't run well, there are missing textures, the controls are a bit odd. You might wanna wait until they update it to the HD version.

I also saw someone mentioned FEAR. While these games are great and I highly recommend them, none of them comes close to exceeding your 10 hour mark. FEAR 1 is the longest, but I doubt it'll take you more than 8 hours to beat. If you manage to get your hands on the FEAR 1 complete edition with the 2 expansion packs, though, you have about 15 hours worth of high quality single player shooting.

Bioshock,

HAlf Life1 and 2

Crysis 1 and 2

Stalker series

Farcry 1 and 2

Gotta give you props for that list man, you've named almost all the quality games i've had in my mind.

Half-Life 2, but I think you need to play the episodes too. It doesn't feel complete without them. Half-Life 2 just ends on a large cliffhanger.

Bioshock, while good -- just from looking at its 96% metacritic score -- I would consider overrated. I don't think it deserved that score. Half-Life 2 does.

HUGE LIST

/thread.

Everyone always forgets Singularity :(

- Stalker series

- Crysis2 or Crysis1 those can last very long and be done a bunch of times and still be fun (Crysiswarhead is short though)

- Deus Ex

- Half Life 1/2

- Condemened

- Singularity

- Serious Sam (really fun coop campaigns)

Definitely Half-Life 2. I spent over 40 hours on that game.

ralph2190

Doom 3 was quite long. If you like clichéd horror, try it out.

painkiller + BooH

half life series

singularity is reasonably long

bioshock 1 (cant speak for two)

rainbow 6 vegas 1

fallout 3

stalker series is a MUST

deus ex is a good suggestion

swat 4

serious sam HD TFE/TSE

oo oo i almost forgot (how silly of me) mass effect! (though strictly speaking its much for of an rpg than an fps and the same can be said for its sequel)

arma 2 & operation arrowhead are long, especially on the hardest difficulty.

they have multiplayer & a mission editor.
