10. Deus Ex --------------- PC.

09. Half-Life 2 --------------- PC.

08. Halo 3 --------------- Xbox 360.

07. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare --------------- PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3.

06. GoldenEye 007 --------------- Nintendo 64.

05. Counter-Strike --------------- PC.

04. Wolfenstein 3d --------------- PC.

03. Half-Life --------------- PC.

02. Doom --------------- PC.

01. Halo: Combat Evolved --------------- Xbox.

No argument here.

That list needs more Marathon.

Yeah- that's dual wielding right there, in the DOOM era.

lol...

That number 1 is gonna start a war Toriko42

My opinion (and many others')...

The mention of CoD at all makes the list crap.aaronmullan

rating Halo above doom makes this list pure fail, also, CoD 4 and Halo 3 where not revolutionary, there is a differance between good and revolutionary

[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]The mention of CoD at all makes the list crap.musicalmac

Not necessarily the order I'd put it in but I agree with the list for the most part.

Halo, CoD don't belong on that list. Including Deus Ex and HL2 in top10 also quite a big stretch

i thought it had potential with the first 2.

learn the meaning of revolutionary. halo 1 and especially 3 nor golden eye nor COD4 should be nowhere near the top 10 list. none of them did anything revolutionary and goldeneye was the only innovative one

The mention of CoD at all makes the list crap.aaronmullan

Look - I wasn't too fond of Call of Duty 4, but in the way it has prospered and what it has done to the genre - it's worthy of a place.

It's the same with Halo - there are a great deal of people that didn't enjoy it, but it's still the most essential title in first-person shooter history. So it's not just about one's opinion. :)

COD4 did nothing for the genre. and halo was a good title doesnt make it revolutionary

Didn't Medal of honor start the 'intense war type FPS' sub genre?

But I agree with the cod4 multiplayer.

halo 3 and cod 4 shouldnt be on the list halo combat evoled should be number 10 and where is quake otherwise fairly good list

How are CoD and halo 3 revolutionary?

Essential titles? Yes. Revolutionary? No. I love CoD4 and Halo as much as the next guy but they should not be on that list with the exception of Halo 1 and I shall explain why. Many may not see Halo as revolutionizing FPSs but it did mark a huge, huge step in bringing FPS to the consoles and that makes it deserve at least the number 10 spot. But no more than that.

CoD4 and Halo 3 did not revolutionize a damn things. They are incredible games but that's just about it.

Thanks. I was expecting fanboys to flame me due to the fact that there were no PlayStation 3 games. :oops:

How is halo one and the game that literally started the genre not?

How are CoD and halo 3 revolutionary?

toast_burner

I think people are starting to think revolutionary is more or less sales and popularity.

Quake? OK? I don't think it's worthy of a spot, actually. It's repetitive and relatively ugly.

I think Halo should be at 3 Hl 1 at 2 and Doom at 1 other then that mighty fine list.

So I was looking at your list and I'm like "hmmm alright I didn't expect that to be 10 but OK" Then I saw Halo 3 ahead of HL2 and I'm like "meh we could be a little more reasonable". And finally I saw the Halo CE at the end but in the form of a Halo 3 screenshot. And that is when I left the thread.

The Metroid series is a low-quality franchise with shallow characters and a plot of low quality. :|

No Bioshock/System Shock?

Rainbow 6 3 MADE FPS on XBL for years.

also quake was one of the first online fps games

It's not a Halo 3 screenshot. :x

lol at number 1, r u serious? Halo? Half Life is even more revolutionary than Halo. Common dude

I think the biggest step forward in an FPS, and the game that I think has set the benchmark for FPS's nowadays, is Half-Life 2. In terms of story, gameplay & overall playability, there aren't many games that come close to HL2 (IMO of course). I think the Halo series is probably the next best, especially in terms of story, and COD4 has set the benchmark in terms of the physics of an FPS. But overall, Half Life 2 is still the king.hrt_rulz01

I think the original is more significant and one of the most revolutionary ever. Half-Life 2 also possesses outstanding quality, but it doesn't outdo the first game in the series.

It was very close, but only one game could be number one... ;)

Revolutionary. Overrated. Underrated. Ironic. Influential.

If more people around here actually understood the real definitions of these words, life would be a happier place and good people wouldn't suffer having to correct horrendous mistakes in these nonsensical lists.

You know I don't mind if you put Halo: Combat Evolved in first place (even though the only thing it revolutionized was console FPS so I disagree with it being number 1) but when you put Halo 3 above Deus Ex and Half-Life 2, it just becomes obvious you're a huge fanboy.

Remember, your title says REVOLUTIONARY. Not "What are your top 10 FPS". There's a lot less "opinion" involved here.

TC doesn't seem to understand the difference between definitions such as revolutionary/popular/personal favorite. They're all the same to him.

It's Master Chief, and he's not capable of being played in the expansion.

10. Deus Ex --------------- PC.

Great choice. the mixture of RPG, FPs, stealth and story telling was revolutionary

09. Half-Life 2 --------------- PC.

The way the story was told with out disrupting the flow of gameplay was revolutionary

08. Halo 3 --------------- Xbox 360.

This is i can not under stand. halo 3 didnt do any thing that hadnt been done before and it didnt perfect it either

07. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare --------------- PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3.

Same as halo 3 it didnt do any thing doesnt belong on the list.

06. GoldenEye 007 --------------- Nintendo 64.

Popularised mltiplayer for FPS on consoles so again good choice

05. Counter-Strike --------------- PC.

Multiplayer action that requires skill with out being complicated

04. Wolfenstein 3d --------------- PC.

Popularised the FPS genre some times mistaken as the first first person game.

03. Half-Life --------------- PC.

The same as Half life 2 only not as well but this came out first

02. Doom --------------- PC.

set a new standard of first person shooters

01. Halo: Combat Evolved --------------- Xbox.

Moved the FPS crowd to consoles arguably responsible to all he console FPS we have today (if thats a good thing or a bad thing is a different story)

you got the order completely wrong
