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

[QUOTE="SchoolThing"]1. HALO - without this game, in 2001, who knows if the FPS genre would have been alive?Gamer4Iife

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

^This. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark contributed more to console FPSs than all 3 HALO game combined.

crysis and hexen more interesting fps hasnt humankind made

NO its their opinion. What makes yours any better than mine?

Some of this depends on when you began playing FPS. MY first was Quake on PC back in college, but I didn't play a console shooter until Halo:CE. To me, nothing beats Quake death match. I can still remember doing that late at night instead of studying. Of course now I'm letting nostalgia get in the way.
