- The Most Important Games in FPS Gaming as a Whole -

These Are The Most Significant FPS Ever To Grace Gaming: 1. HALO - without this game, in 2001, who knows if the FPS genre would have been alive? Splendid controls, killer adventure, awesome graphics, orgasmic music... The List goes on... Halo is one of the most influential titles in modern gaming history. 2. HALF-LIFE - Half-Life introduced what it was like to play Single-Player campaigns and mixed awesome adventure, good physics and interesting characters with mystifying plot. 3. CS - this is another Valve game and made FPS popular (until Halo made them super mega successful), this is the most popular FPS, and along with Super Mario and GTA the most iconic and well-known games in the world. 4. DOOM/WOLFENSTEIN - these were awesomely great for their time and the first ones and easily among the most important with super controls. 5. CALL OF DUTY - this is very casual and noob-friendly but mixes awesome MP with amazing campaign and flawless system perks, controls, graphics etc. 6. KILLZONE 2 - best exclusive FPS ever for PS3. Good graphics, nice controls (not always, though), good characters, nice physics, good war feeling, good MP. Easily the best. 7. CRYSIS - this is the most astounding game in the grapics department, Heavy Rain, LMAO? Crysis has a whole of nice feeling with great adventeris feeling and cosy play in the darkness with great physics (hitting down trees, houses etc.) Agree/Disagree? Killzone 2 is the emperor of PlayStation 3 FPS shooters. Call of Duty is the leader of casual, noobified first-person shooters. Half-Life is the Lord of single-player first-person shooters on PCs or consoles. Crysis is the king of graphically impressive FPS. Counter-Strike is the king of PC FPS, most popular. Halo is the almighty God of all first-person shooters and the father of the MODERN FPS gaming. Doom/Wolfenstein were the first FPSs. Missed some? :) This is an official list, so tell me if there are any important ones missed that did a lot to the genre.SchoolThing

Halo is not the god of all shooters.

Quake?

Goldeneye should be on that list. The first great console FPS that I ever played.

I know Halo was important for console FPS history, but consider this one the most important FPS of all time? That's just ridiculous. Where's Quake, System Shock, Unreal Tournament, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and the best FPS of this generation, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

These are not the best, still i think they were the most important at their time:

Wolfenstein3D

Doom 1

Duke Nukem 3D

Quake 1

Half Life 1

Goldeneye 007

Halo CE

umm..what about doom, unreal, goldeneye, perfect dark TC? those games practically started it all

Halo is the almighty God of all first-person shooters and the father of the MODERN FPS gaming.SchoolThing

No, just no. Half Life and Half Life 2 are more closer to be the god of FPS, then Halo. Halo is a good game, but it not even one of the best FPS IMO.

The idea is good but the dude that made the list clearly isn't an expert/devoted/experienced follower of the genre in all systems.

Killzone 2 wouldnt belong on that list. Halo would be there but much lower. Doom/ WOlfenstein/ Quake/Unreal/System Shock/Deus Ex/Half Life would all be higher on my list. I don't know if i would put Far Cry, Fear, or STalker on a list like that....they are impressive for the genre thoughjg4xchamp

Wait; an Action Adventure/RPG that is played in first person perspective is considered a FPS nowadays?

You put a lot of effort into it... but Halo? :lol: come on now. Brainkiller05

I'd take off Crysis, Killzone 2, and and Call of Duty, and I'd replace them with

Quake, and Goldeneye

So my list would be something like.

1. Doom/Wolfenstein - for basically inventing the genre.

2. Quake - Brought to light online gaming for fps

3. Goldeneye - For advancing the fps genre on consoles. Earlier fps games were on consoles, but they were just the simple 2D ones like Doom.

4. Half Life - For introducing the story-driven fps. Truly a great game.

5. CS - For nearly perfecting the competitive, online fps.

6. Halo - For truly standardizing online console gaming imo. Other games were online first, but this game created a boom, and since Halo 2 no fps game should come without online multiplayer on consoles.

In the order I think is appropriate:

1. Wolfenstein
2. Doom
3. Quake
4. Half Life
5. Goldeneye

The PC has always been the king of first person shooters, but originals like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark proved how fun and how well the FPS genre could work on consoles.

all fps suck except half life. the worst are halo, killzone

Killzone 2 wouldnt belong on that list. Halo would be there but much lower. Doom/ WOlfenstein/ Quake/Unreal/System Shock/Deus Ex/Half Life would all be higher on my list. I don't know if i would put Far Cry, Fear, or STalker on a list like that....they are impressive for the genre thoughjg4xchamp

Actually it does, its one of the FPS exclusive to PS3.

In no particular order:

-Deus Ex

-Doom

-Half Life

-Goldeneye 007

-Halo CE

-Quake

-Counter Strike

Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Goldeneye 007, Unreal, Half Life, System Shock 2, Thief: The Dark Project, Starseige: Tribes, Perfect Dark, Deus Ex and Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast are the most influential FPS games in the history of the modern FPS genre.

Halo wouldn't be in the top 100 FPS? Suspend me mods, but you're a ****ing idiot, and your post is more trollish than the topic creater.

Yes I love Halo. 2nd favourite FPS ever. (Goldeneye 1st)

I know its opinion but Half-life wasnt that good imo. 2nd one was better.

take out the last three

1. HALO - without this game, in 2001, who knows if the FPS genre would have been alive? Splendid controls, killer adventure, awesome graphics, orgasmic music... The List goes on... Halo is one of the most influential titles in modern gaming history.

Correction, "without this game, in 2001, who knows if the FPS genre would have been alive on console?", PC FPSs could evlove good without Halo....

And the original Halo had a terrible campaign.

Wolfenstein 3D

Doom

Dark Forces

Quake

Half-Life

Goldeneye 64

Counter-Strike

Team Fortress

Those are the important ones.

What about The Elder Schrolls IV: Oblivion? That was a pretty groundbreaking game too.

Great list and post, but instead of Cs, I would first use quake as that was the game that not only started online multiplayer, but it also glorified it into starting lan partys and tournaments and all that.

1. HALO - without this game, in 2001, who knows if the FPS genre would have been alive?SchoolThing

Wait, what? :? I agree that Halo made the genre more popular, but you're overexaggerating.

List needs Goldeneye, Perfect Dark Duke Nukem and Quake. :x
