I like modern the best because I prefer most games like CoD 4 and Vegas 2 over Gears and halo because they seem more realistic.

I prefer a variety. I like sci-fi shooters a lot, with some modern shooters mixed in. And then the occasional historical shooter

Sci-Fi, it is science fiction after all. Events in TF2 are not really going to happen, and the technology is special.

Realistic isn't my cup of tea.

I prefer realism in modern and plausability in Sci-fi shooters. Halo:CE was Sci-fi perfection imo. Halo2/3 and Gears are just garbage.

I think the Turkoman was probably the greatest one ever created. It had the great mechanics like a Ikaruga but also the story as deep as SotC. Great stuff.

I prefer sci-fi shooters over other shooters. By not being bound by many of the laws of realism, the player is given access to many abilities and weapons and enemies are no longer restricted to humans/humanoids which varies the gameplay greatly.

Sci-Fi, because they don't try to be realistic which is very hard to accomplish. Plus they're generally more interesting.

But then you get restricted to the what the creators can think of which is much more limiting in one sense... all of them actually. That is why historic shooters are the best.

Yeah, but history teaches us that unless you know thine enemy you don't know yourself. That's why history shooters aren't limited by things like creative thinking like sci-fi shooters are.

Not the quality but gameplay, Historic time and feel.

At least they aren't Call of duty 2 with a new time slapped on it and some multiplayer twists.

I consider Gears of War pure shooter. Action game =/= third person shooter.

Wheter first or third person view, shooter is shooter. Rainbow Six vegas is 80% fps and 20% tps. But still a pure shooter. Modern one.

For example: Gradius is a shooter.

Really is a great game. There are still a couple coming up that look good. I can't wait for Battlefield Heroes, and COD5 if it WWII(and hopefully taking place in the Pacific battles). There is also that Darkest of Days game that look interesting(through I think it a Sci Fi shooter. Not sure).

All of the above. It doesn't really matter that much as long as it is a good game. I wouldn't mind seeing a goof FPS western.

Half-Life,my favorite shooter of all time is Sci-Fi. Half-Life 2 is Sci-Fi. Crysis is Sci-Fi.

I'm gonna have to go with Sci-Fi. Although when it comes to multiplayer games,I prefer modern. (Couter-Strike,Battlefield 2)

I like sci-fi slightly more than modern. CoD4 was incredible, I have to admit but Halo 3 was pretty fun too. I just like killing aliens more than terrorists to be honest.

Sci-fi. It gets dull just fighting humans and using realistic weaponry.

Edit: But their are exceptions like GTA and Crackdown because they offer so much to do.

I like scifi over any other shooter, because the developer isn't restricted to using only the typical kind of weapons we have today or in the past (IE: M16, M1 Garand) and they can work on ways to make the game innovative and fun instead of realistic.
