Out of all of the FPS out there .. Call of Duty, Bad Company, Killzone, Resistance Fall of Man, Halo, Half-Life, Doom, Quake, etc. etc. Which is the best series overall in your opinion? Personally I prefer Killzone 2, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as the most complete shooters to date. As far as the FPS that really broke the genre wide open though, I'd have to say Goldeneye 007 on N64 and Halo on the XBOX really were responsible for the craze coming full steam and breaking ground. Any series that are truly great that many people may have overlooked in the genre?
Well Im really enjoying Reach so far, I haven't played BFBC2 yet but I think Ill pick it up soon because it does look like a really good game (although I don't really like rpg elements in my shooter multiplayer).
Best modern shooter (past 3-4 years)... Crysis or S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

This guy pretty much has it right. Except I'd say Crysis or Stalker was a better single player game due to a higher degree of replayability. And Bad Company 2 seems to have more tactical gameplay with the destructible environments compared to BF2. However, BF2 was still amazing.
[QUOTE="walkingdream"]Halo by far, as far as Scores go they have been the most consistent with 5 AAA+ games. I doubt you could question that record. DragonfireXZ95
In a world where casual gamers give out perfect 10's like no tomorrow, I don't think scores are a good indication of overall quality. Just so you know i'm mainly a PC gamer. I am merely pointing out the fact of scores and critical acclaim. I mean what other FPS game series come close to that kind of record? Scores do give a good indication of quality actually. My favourite FPS this gen however is probably Crysis or BCBF2
Halo. Yes there have been single iterations of other games there were better in some way or more popular.....but on the whole the halo series by far. I still play the original game online every day and have created many of the halo 1 maps to the T in reach. which happens to be the best part about reach.
Killzone 2, the atmoshpere was so great, the challenge of the game. its a masterpiece and Killzone 3 will be better than any FPS known to man. HL2 is so overrated.

RPG elements? No, it's a tactical/squad-based shooter and it's amazing. One of the best FPS in my opinion.

A lot of other games do not have tons of Xbox magazines and sites giving out straight 10s automatically.
Surprised that no one mentioned Duke Nukem 3d. Truly legendary. my top fps are Duke Nukem, Halo CE/2, Perfect Dark( BEST GAME EVAR), and Goldeneye ( I'm mostly a console fps player).
