Hello,

So my friends and fellow gamers here we talk about best FPS franchise. what do you think is the best FPS franchise in history?

For me

1. Half life: Both Half life games are 2 greatest Shooter ever made. they were unique, innovative and ahead of times when released in 1998 and 2004. the level design, the pacing is unbelievable. Half life 1 was first FPS game that focus on Story but without interrupting to cutscenes.

2. Deus Ex: Not a primilary FPS series but FPS/RPG and its to me is best franchise ever in history. from story to science fiction cyberpunk universe to level design original deus ex was ahead of its time and HR was also very very good. cant wait for mankind divided. sure it has one bad game that is invisible wars but it didnot even hurt franchise at all.

3. Doom: This is the game that invented FPS genre. once upon a time FPS games were called Doom clones. there has never been a bad Doom game. and all 4 games in each era revolutionize FPS genre. this is how FPS should be made. fast paced non stop shooter with complex level design.

honorable mention goes to Stalker but its one game with 2 expansion pack. not really franchise at all.

Original Crysis and FEAR were among the best FPS ever but its sequel ruined its legacy.

so whats your fav FPS franchise?

As in consistently good? i.e.. it didn't get messed up by a modernization, reinvention or third party developer

Halflife.

I dunno, Halo probably got a few too many games, but they've all been atleast decent.

Half-Life is a dead franchise, but a great one.

I'm afraid I don't understand Halo. Halflife was ground breaking - Contrary to popular opinion Halflife 2 improved upon it in multiple regards.

Halo had you playing Doom man shooting Pokemon in monotonous grey corridors with some sort of embarrassing whore computer lady.

Overall - a waste of time

What I don't understand is that he asks for the best fps and then forget to add crysis lmao.

Crysis 1 is simply the best fps I've ever played. Yes mostly because of the graphics but I don't care.

Very - highly - very - (exceedingly so) laughable that people attempted to say Crysis was all about graphics.

Crysis could look that "elp me!" guy from Robocop and still be fun.

Well it is the combination of things that makes it so good, graphics alone don't make a good game of course.

But damn those graphics....

Metroid Prime.

Is not an FPS. It's an Adventure Exploration Platforming game that's in first person perspective rather than traditional side scrolling or 3rd person 3D.

It's so close, it's not worth making up sub-genres for.

Hmmm hard to pick just one... on the one hand, Half-Life 2 is my fav game of all time so I should probably say HL, but Halo has more games in the series that I've loved over a longer period.

Half-Life.

The day Valve ever decides to make another one will be a day to remember.

Crysis is so good. There is nothing like it out there. Everything is fantastic; Graphics, gameplay, presentation, soundtracks, audio design, cutscenes and so on. It's up there among the greatest FPS of all time.

You left a few big ones off the list. Sadly enough, of all those that are still relevant... BF.. and it makes me shudder to say that. We need an influx of good shooters. Someone or something needs to breath some life back into the genre... both FP and TP shooters.
