To this day, the best first person shooter ever made

The best FPS ever made would be a Half-Life game mixed with F.E.A.R's combat. That combo would be so sexy.FrozenLiquid

I reckon that would go so badly. It would be like INTENSE COMBAT then

puzzle time! Half Life's combat and puzzling felt good toghther, if you made Half Life as intense as Fear it would feel really disjointed

That's not Counter Strike.

Not just the puzzling, everything else really.

FEAR is a super flashy and fast paced shooter right? I think that goes against Half Life 2 gameplay. The subtle things like running speed and animations can change the feel of the game completly. Half Life's combat isn't super intense or anything because the game isn't all about that. The core has to be flexible enough for it's enviromental storytelling and other stuff. FEAR is mostly a game about it's combat, Half Life isn't.

That's just my say anyway

Metroid Prime :cool:

U mad?

MLBknights58

quake 2 first game to do deathmatch right and still last.

does Thief count as a fps

killzonexbox

Thief is a Stealth game.

One of the best, although i like Hitman More.

Best First Person Adventure = Metroid Prime.

Best First Person Shooter = Timesplitters 2

It was indeed an awesome game opie, talking entirely through gameplay.

BUT... there wasn't really a climax unfortunately. It was great but just stayed at the same level of action throughout the whole game which was kinda unfortunate. Nothing really happened in the end.

An explosion happened. Literally.

Halo 3. Mods, you can go ahead and lock this thread now as there is nothing more to discuss.

That's just a cutscene. In the game I was still going through the same drab corridors/rooms I was going through the entire game. I know... it was a parking lot or something but it still all looked the same. The enemies at the end weren't any more challenging than anything I had fought previously. There wasn't any sense of urgency or anything; I had no idea I was even reaching the end of the game. When it finished I was just like, "What, that's it?"

Or Doom

I'm sticking by my guns. Yes, FEAR is intense, but it also tried to ape Half-Life's 'inbetween' moments, and failed miserably. We understand that FEAR isn't a Serious Sam or Bulletstorm, but we can also understand it's just as intense as those in gunplay, in its own way. FEAR, then, is still akin to the 'epic' FPS campaigns such as Halo, Half-Life, Bioshock etc, but it's own gimmick is the intense combat. The thing is Monolith doesn't seem to have been able to keep with is a good single player narrative, which Valve did so well. It might've been better to say the best FPS is a Valve game mixed with FEAR's combat. Left 4 Dead, for example, featured intense gun fights, but could also keep its narrative going well with good level design and passive storytelling.FrozenLiquid

Lots of bam, bam manshootan action that's damn good and 'epic' nonsense, but having a very Half Life sense of pacing between action sequences, world building and scene setting. Surprisingly enough Resistance manages to keep a straight face the entire time, and do it well, much like Half Life; and low and behold it actually has a solid focus on the central protagonist's character. To a lesser degree there's Bulletstorm (did a good work with character as well), which I'd argue did a decent job at hitting middle ground concentrating on action, and Crysis 2 which well - was a huge blunder; but yeah neither of these games have FEAR's hyper-kinetic action.

That being said I'm getting a bit tired of window-dressing shooters that feel like one of those conga-line amusement park rides, or 'It's a Small World' nightmares. Still, Bioshock Infinite looks pretty super but I'll sit my hide in the Dishonoured camp of 'what's hot and interesting' for now.

The Best competitive FPS ever is Unreal Tournament 99. Best Single Player FPS ever is... I'm not sure. So I accept your nomination.

Counterstrike

Doom or Halo CE.

I don't know about best, but personal favorite is the one that started it all for me, Goldeneye 007.

Unreal Tournament 3... more people should play it

No.

No.

heytheredarlin

Yup.

First-person shooters tend to age badly.

Doom for me.

My personal favorite is the Tribes series (Starsiege, Tribes 2 and now Tribes Ascend). The gameplay is very unique and very rewarding!jonathant5

I came into this thread expecting Half-Life fan-wankery in the OP.

I did not see it, though it did show up later. Ironically, some of these people were bashing FEAR as being "generic" and "doing little well." While praising Half-Life. :lol:

Oh, System Wars. Don't ever change.

FEAR was ok. Here's a list of games that spring to mind that I thought were better for their time:

• crysis
• half-life
• half-life 2
• quake 3 arena
• halo
• battlefield 2
• enemy territory
• Far Cry
• team fortress 2
• unreal tournament 2004

Half Life 2

Doom 2 nailed it.

Half LIfe 2, but only because i don't consider Metroid Prime a FPS.

A fighting game is normallly 1 on 1 battle till somone wins. GOW would be closer to 3rd person action adventure...The thing about Metroid is you have guns,playing it in 1st person..to me its no different than Halo..guns,aliens,missions,ect..BUT I know its never been looked at as a FPS..just my thoughts on it..
