Doom easily had the biggest impact, although Wolfenstein 3D was the very first first person shooter.

Doom basically created the genre. I have to go with it.

Doom, and then Half Life. Why is Half Life not in the poll by the way? It was light years ahead of it's time when it came out.

Halo invented the FPS genre and was a big influence for Valve when they were developing Half Life.

Seriously though, Doom.

Doom of course. Half life is second because it felt like the thinking mans FPS. Halo did nothing special imho. Probably made recharging health popular.

I'd say Doom, considering it created the genre, or at least put it on the map.

In all honesty, anyone that doesn't say Doom is a fanboy, of is ignorant.

Not to be rude, but Doom put it on the map. Without it, Goldeneye and Halo wouldn't exist, which is the meaning of impact.

Doom, this shouldn't even be a question. Doom is definetly the second most important FPS ever made (first being Wolfenstein, for creating the genre), and certainly the most influential for having been the one who actually put the genre out there.

Doom, heck the genre was called Doom back then. Other FPS were not called FPS but Doom clones.

Overall-Doom

Console wise-Halo, without Halo FPS on consoles would be not as popular as it is now and days.

Doom. Followed by Halo. Take note, Halo was not innovative. But it DID have an impact on the industry.

Halo was very innovative for console FPS's. Read the GS review to refresh your memory

Was it? It was a simplified FPS, made specifically for a controller. And it worked well and played smoother than most console FPS. That is great and all, but innovative? I wouldn't go that far.

Whilst doom basically invented the modern day shooter, 007 goldeneye put in the secret sauce. So i went with that.

IMO, if you look at goldeneye, and compare it to even modern day FPS games, not a lot has changed, outside of the technology behind the games. If you were to take 007, and put current tech into it, it would be just as good as any other FPS game today. it had story, it had plenty of weapons, and it had fun multiplayer!

But yeah. *shrug*. I guess it also explains things when you consider I never really played Doom (more of a Heretic guy myself), but when my buddy got 007, he played it all the time. Dual rocket launchers? Insane!
