I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on the best shooter on the PC is right now. Just don't say Crysis, because that is like impossible to run, especially on my CPU.

good lord get over CoD4 already... it was depressing linear, entirely scripted, spectacular for about an hour, until you realize it's entirely uninovative. Multiplayer was fun too until you realize how shallow it is.

I would go for Crysis, Bioshock, or HL2 + episodes.

On topic though. Unreal Tournament and Half Life 2/episodes. I also enjoyed C&C:Renegade, and MOH:AA. Although some would most definitly disagree that Renegade was a good game, but I had alot of fun playing it online.

You hate CoD4, but recommend MoH? Is there even a difference between the games except MoH has poor support, horrible AI, another WWII clone, and it's made by EA?

MoHAA was among the first of the WWII shooters. It pretty much set the standards for the entire genre. It deserves all the recognition it gets.

They play differently. Also, forgot to give BF2 a shout out too, one of my favorite online shooters.

The sad thing is the a lot of the titles listed here are generic. Imo the best pc shooter on the pc to date is the original doom just because of how it made the genre and those of you who have played it know why I and many others still play it all these years later.

To date? The Orange Box/The Halflife series. No game has, imo, come as far as it has in actually incorporating the player into a game. Not to mention that it has the greatest multiplayer community and mods ever.

Crysis is number two for me though, with the Jedi Knight series at three.

Really doesn't make any sense. "It's a fun shooter but what does it really add?" Isn't games suppose to be about fun? Innovated or not I thought having fun is what really matters when gaming.

I have to say that Half-Life 1 is still the greatest FPS of all time. Kind of depressing to think that the genre peaked a decade ago, but the only thing that's come close is Half-Life 2 + Episodes.

Actually, it's not made by EA. It's made by 2015, a number of the employees of which went on to form Infinity Ward and create the Call of Duty series.

I don't know, but 2015 only worked on the first game in any case (MoH:AA and its xpacks, Spearhead and Breakthrough). After that, everything MoH was done by other studios.

FPS/RPG hybrids:

Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Stalker

FPS

Half-Life 2 (+ episodes 1 & 2)
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (+ Mysteries Of The Sith)
The Operative: No One Lives Forever
Far Cry
Unreal (+ Return To Na Pali)
Clive Barker's Undying
Call of Duty 1 (+ United Offensive)
FEAR
Quake 4
Soldier Of Fortune II
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Aliens v Predator 2

Tactical FPS

Ghost Recon 1 (+ Island Thunder + Desert Storm)
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (+ Athena Sword)
Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30
SWAT 4 (+ Stetchkov Syndicate)
Operation Flashpoint

Straightforward Shooter

Doom 2: Hell On Earth
Serious Sam
Painkiller
Unreal Tournament

Good times...

Thats true to an extent.

You see, a good shooter will be fun. CoD4 is a good shooter because its lots of fun.

A great shooter, however, is both fun and innovative. That is why Halflife, STALKER, and Crysis are great shooters and Quake 4, Doom 3, and CoD 4 are only good shooters.

SOMEONE GIVE THIS GUY A MEDAL

BTW Crysis actually has a good multiplayer even though many over look it.

Also Frontlines fuel of war is very origional in my opion and with a patch or 2 could be one of the best shooters out in a very long time

ol thanks *pins medal on chest* wow i feel like a real man now. maybe i get pubes soon?

and ya, Crysis multiplayer is great if you ask me, but only if the teams are balanced. Soon as one team gets an edge its very tedious for both sides.

Thats good to hear about Frontlines as well i was thinking of picking it up but all i hear is how bugged it is.
