All 3 are the kings of old school PC FPS. So I ask you, which is the best?

Half-Life is the only true FPS. The others would be considered hybrids.

My ranking for my favorite out of the three would be.

1. Deus Ex

2. System Shock 2

3. Half-Life

Half-Life is the only one that I've played, but I really need to try out System Shock 2 sometime. If it was available on GOG I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

Can't go wrong with any of those games.

Such a pity that with the consoletardation of games, that we no longer see games of that quality.

Agreed. System Shock 2 had a better upgrade system, but Deus Ex had a much more in depth story tree. Half life was good, and did give us TF2, but it just didn't have the single player replay value as the other two.

Damn man, hard to really answer that. Half life isnt that hard to compare to the other two (with the other two games being better), its SS2 and DE that are hard to say which ones better. Im going to go with this. SS2 DE HL

The original half life did eventually give us TF2, but it originally gave us (the original) TF and CS. But like you said the single player game is far better in SS2 and DE than HL.

I've never played either system shock, so I'll have to go for Deus Ex, although Half Life is a classic.

Hmm..Dues Ex is a brilliant game but the clunky combat holds it back from being better than SS2, and I haven't played the original HL (Blasphemy I know) so I'll go in order of... 1.SS2 2.Deus Ex Never played Half-life.
