what is your top FPS in the last 5 years?

what would you say is your top choice FPS in the last 5 years? if more than one list them in order of best to worst. and remember this qustion is what is YOUR FAVORITE FPS game. NOT what was THE BEST. no attacking each others choices :) unless some one says Doom3 as there #1 lol j/k

mine is by far HL2. It just did every thing right for me. art style in the levels were great. charicters were memorable and even though most got little actual screen time thay still had a very fleashed out feel to them, music was very moody. gameplay was just right for me. Not to much action like say D3 but i never got bord.story was a little hard to follow at points but maby thats because i never got the chance to play HL1 though im makeing some free time for HL1 source that came with HL2 collectors edition. the game was just great from start to finish. most games start feeling very rushed near the end but i never got that feeling with HL2. i just thought it was a real work of art and one of those rare games that i'll remember and look back on years from now. I just wish i had the chance to play part 1 when it came out back in the day as i heard it was awsome.

I'd have to say Half-Life 2 is it for me.

STALKER, FarCry, and FEAR all get honorable mentions.

single player... Half Life 2 easily.  I have never played a more fun campaign.  The game is as fun as it gets. 

a close second has to go to Halo 1, even tho its a little more than 5 years old.  That game is still amazing!

No One Lives Forever 2

Amazing humor, great graphics, hilarious storyline, incredible level design, awesome variety of levels and perfect mix of stealth and action(with great combat engine). 

Oh..and Cate Archer is a real goddess :D 

for MP..hmm..SWAT4 I guess 

Battlefield series

Call of Duty series

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (Original) 

America's Army

Far Cry 

F.E.A.R.

Halo

Farcry , UT2k4 ,Judge Dredd & Chaser.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R

Farcry

HL2

BF2

I would say Aliens Vs Predator. That games makes you feel like a freakin' miserable victim!!! No such feeling about any other game I have ever played! Scary games make you jump with cheap tricks but then you squash angrily the thing that scared you while this game puts you face to face with you horror and you know you can't beat it. I remember a sequence in the second game where a pipe broke with a hiss right in my face. I fired the whole clip at it and was still holding the LMB like 10 seconds after that before realizing it was no alien. Well, actually, this was a cheap trick, wasn't it :)? But I am actually viewing the first game more, even though I know it's much more than 5 years old.

Newer games that really appealed to me are: 

Much to the authors dismay - Doom 3 + Ressurection of Evil

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl

Half-Life 2:Episode 1 (Half-Life 2 was abysmal IMO but Episode 1 shines)

Yes, No One Lives Forever 2:A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way was a terrific title which I would have forgotten if not mentioned here.

Others that I can't think of now :).

I forgot Prey. It was cool.

#1: F.E.A.R.

#2: Half - Life 2

#3: Far - Cry

#4: DOOM III

#5: Quake 4

Half life 2

CS source

Soldier of fortune 2 (great mp)

Battlefield 2

 Thats about it

I had take the boldness to list the Best top ten FPS in the last 7 years by my criteria, cause they are clasics and some of them I still play in LAN Parties with friends thanks to God for inspire creators making Mods (case Swat 3 and Operation Flashpoint).

1) F.E.A.R. / F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point XP

2) Far Cry 

3) Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon / Island Thunder XP / Desert Siege XP

4) Swat 3: CQB

5) Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis

6) Call of Duty

7) Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

8) Unreal Tournament Series

9) Mechwarrior 4 Series

10) Serious Sun: First Encounter

No One Lives Forever 2

Amazing humor, great graphics, hilarious storyline, incredible level design, awesome variety of levels and perfect mix of stealth and action(with great combat engine). 

Oh..and Cate Archer is a real goddess :DAdrianWerner

Yes, this is the one guys, 1) No One Lives Forever 2, a great game!!!! And just makes the 5 year list (2002).

And of course the usual suspects were good too:

2) Half-Life 2

3) F.E.A.R.

4) Far Cry

5) Quake 4

6) Doom 3

Two more that I really enjoyed that I don't think anyone has mentioned are Rainbow Six Vegas, which was awesome and way surpassed my expectations (coop rocks btw), and Area-51 which I just really liked for some reason. I assume S.T.A.L.K.E.R. should be on anyone's list also, but I haven't played it yet.

For multiplayer, Battlefield 2 & Unreal Tournament 2K4

Battlefield series

Call of Duty series

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (Original)

WHAT ABOUT THE HALF-LIFE SERIES!!!

Battlefeild 2.

In my experience, such as it is...

1. Far Cry - Superior A.I. gorgeous to look at and just plain fun.

2. Chronicles of Riddick - Same as F.C. but with superior hand to hand and even better A.I. Still playing this one from time to time.

3. CoDuty 2 - I think this one qualifies.  I run a level on "veteran" just o pump myself up at times.

The Kreed was my most greatest fps i've ever played

Then Alpha Prime, Half Life 2, Doom 3, And Unreal Tournament Serie (UT 1 Keeps a special place in my heart)

I have to agree with you on this one and the version of Aliens vs. Predator I played was on the Jaguar. That was such a good game that just always had me on edge...too bad it was on the Jaguar.

Anyways...last 5 years it is with out a doubt F.E.A.R for me. 

I'm glad some people mentioned Chronicles of Riddick, I had forgotten about that one ;) It's not my favorite, but it is a good game.

What about Condemned: Criminal Origins, is that anyone's favorite? That was a decent FPS also.

Then attack me, because my nr 1 fps in the last years is Doom3, because of the unbeateable atmosphere, good story line, cool monsters, just loved everything about that game.

So CHAAAAARGE ;)
