best fps today

Graphics: Crysis

Campaign: Bioshock

Multiplayer: Call of Duty 4

co-op: Left 4 Dead 1/2

Counter-Strike hands down. That game requires PURE skill.

ITT: mainstream game poll. None of them even come close to the best.DragonfireXZ95

Yup, thread should have been called: most popular fps today

When it comes to single-player mode, I think Half-Life 2 is still the best FPS.

Nothing beats Half-life in SP campaign. Too bad it's been over three years since episode 2. Valve thinks it's more important to give us Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Portal 2 and Dota 2 instead, I guess Counter-strike 2 is next...

Or a real sequel to Counter Strike. IMO I've played a lot of FPSes with better single player than Half Life and HL2. I just never found them very fun. If I had to choose one thing about PC that's overhyped, it would have be to HL easily.

I read about Tactical Intervention on IGN, it has the creator of CS behind it right ?

But Half-life isn't exclusive on PC :s. The first one came out on PS2 and the second one on PS3 and Xbox (360)

This is about best FPS today, not from bygone eras.

And maybe you were just playing hyperbole (or sarcasm), but I'll say it anyway, on basic principle because sometimes I do see people clinging to nostalgia with an irrational viewpoint. Shooters from 2 generations ago or older, be that Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, DOOM, Castle Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem (yes, even the almighty Duke) or what have you, just do not hold up by todays standards.

Never mind graphics, AI that was robotic, predictable or just non-existent, wonky controls prior to dual analog, and absense of physics will in no way measure up to what shooters today can deliver. No matter how nostalgic you are about shooters from "the good old days", they were good, but in proper context, they were good for their time.

Crysis or Halo Reach.

Nothing comes close to it's excellence. On a smaller scale I'd have to say Counter Strike, but I still find Battlefield 2 to be the defining FPS.

ChubbyGuy40

Bad Company 2 is more balanced, the soldier kits make more sense, there's no overpowered weapons in BC 2 (in contrast with the PKM/G36E in BF 2), the respawn system in BC 2 and the spotting system increases the teamwork, the customization options are way more flexible. BF 2 is only better in the scale and the map designs.

To each his own. I liked BF2's kits more than BC2's. More roles to play, though it would be nice to have those customizable options that BC2 has (Like different scope and I believe different calibur bullets. Been awhile since I've played.) Helicopters and Jets were a defining feature too. Jets are f'ing scary to come across, and helicopters are fun to fight against. I suck at piloting both :P

As far as overpowered weapons, I don't think it's quite fair for the LMG in the Medic kit to have the accuracy it does. I was able to pick off a sniper in a tower. It's stupid to give a medic an LMG in the first place. I much prefer my overpowered L-85 from Battlefield 2. BF2 had spotting and squad respawn also. The Battlefield franchise needs a better communication system, though I've had better teamwork in BF2 and BC2 than any other game that actually has open voice chat. Except for MAG and CS:S.

As a complete package, Reach. Single player, co-op campaign, firefight, 4 player split screen, system link, online with one person, online with 4 people on the same tv, all on offer. Graphics are very pretty, sound incredible, story good enough, gameplay just about perfect for what it is, there's forge and theatre and whatnot too, plus a massive community. Maybe each individual aspect could be beaten by a specific game, but as a whole I think Reach is untouchable.locopatho

This pretty much sums my thoughts up.

Reach is the most complete package and nothing right now rivals it

Oh ya I love destructable buildings in BC2. It creates a great way of clearing out buildings when campers are have the whole front door locked down.

Halo is garbage compared to Call Of

I personally don't think Killzone should even be on the list, IMHO. Anyways, I pick Left 4 Dead 2, though Crysis has the best graphics.

None of the games listed really excel at all of those categories. Other by elimination I suppose.

You have two COD games in the poll... :|

Nah but IMO it's COD4 however I haven't played TF2 which I hear is very good and I will be getting it when I get my new laptop along with some other not so graphically demanding popular PC games.

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath FTW! :lol:

Eh, I'm just not much of a FPS guy. The only ones I usually enjoy are the ones that dont follow the routine formula. Strangers Wrath, Metroid Prime games, Portal, etc.

DraugenCP

Stranger's Wrath is actually an exceptionally good, albeit unconventional shooter. Glad someone mentioned it.

Glad to know I'm not the only person on earth that played it.

Horrible list... Where is Crysis? S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Modern Warfare 1? Bad Company 2? Battlefield 2? Team Fortress 2? All you have is some popular, casual titles.

They all look the same to me. Infantry death-match FTL.

Team Fortress 2 is the most fun I ever had with a shooter, so that.

Why does it matter when it was released? TF2 and CS still ahve thousands of people playing every day.

Well I saw today as pretty recent but if it means games still being played then sure TF2 could be there

But it doesn't say Call of Pripryat. And maybe he does mean this gen I'm not sure

I love TF2 multiplayer and L4D coop..

Atleast Halo's enemies don't have the intelligince of targets like a shooting gallery

Black ops.dakan45

Must be a joke. The campaign is short, linear, with sub-zombie I.C. A.I., no replayable and with horrible cutscenes (next time hire Kijima, Treyarch). The graphics are mediocre, the animations plain bad and the sound is subpar.

The multiplayer is fun for a while, but has two problems: fisrt one, some other games did it better (Bad Company 2, maybe Reach), second one: doesn't work properly in PC.

I bought BO day one, at 61 €, and the multiplayer start to fail connecting to matches las Wednesday; and if you look at the Steam threads about the game are flooded with similar problems:

Black Ops isn't a polished product. Needs at least another 2-3 months of beta testing; the Black Ops developement (less than 2 years) was shorter than some betas from Blizzard games.

Forget about BO winning any award this year; is one of the most unpolished videogames released this year. Which is sadly taking in consideration that basically is a copy & paste with some refinements from their two latest iterations.

i have played many good ones including halo 3 cod red steel -dont hate

conduit metroid 3 0 07 quantum and goldeneye

but here it goes

best split screen-goldeneye 007 wii

best single player -goldeneye 007/ red steel 2

best multiplayer online-cod or goldeneye -for wii , for 360 ps3-cod halo or resistance or kz2 i like every good one

best graphics --for wii- goldeneye007 for other 2-call of duty mw2 again dont even hate i have yet to play black ops but that would probably replace this as for ps3 360 go

now i say best by console starting with my wii

best online play-quantum of solace

best split screen call of duty or halo

best overall -call of duty 4 modern ware fare

Counter Strike source is still the best multiplayer fps, nothing can come close.

If you prefer skill free auto aim console fps games thats a different story.

Although I have yet to see a 100% perfect FPS game, for afully immersible, PC, non-linear, non-run-and-shoot FPS Single Player, IMO, play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.Shadow of Chernobyl andthen compare..

I just wish S.T.A.L.K.E.R., (non-linear FPS/RPG, realistic weapons physics simulator, dynamic world/environment and characters, awesome sophisticatedAI),was a live and evolving MMOG world/environment where I couldtry to survivedayafter day forever!

Although I myself wouldn't goas far, I've read there are people (extreme fanatics IMO) who actually play live S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games in locations similar to/near Chernobyl! (paintball or lasertag, I believe). There is even an organizedS.T.A.L.K.E.R.-Fest! Ha!

I believe there really is something good/special (addictive/magical) about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
