what do you think are the shooters with the best single player on 360

for me:

1)Half Life 2 (Orange Box) was just a great single player game

2)Call of Duty 4 the single player although short was awesome and a fun challenge to get the mile high club

3)Gears of War pretty good but was awesome with a friend

another would be Halo 3 but only if you had 3 friends with you. otherwise i thought it was pretty mediocre

I can understand Oblivion not really counting as a shooter but I think Mass Effect does. And nobody mentioned Halo 3 because the single player is epicly (That even a word?) boring :lol:

Bioshock for its story, Gears for its gameplay, and Half Life 2 for its overall awesomeness

Thats funny, because I enjoyed Halo 3's single player. I was more bored by Mass effect... mostly after roaming around lost... and visiting lots of planets with seemingly nothing to do. I won't go to deep into that unless necessary.

2) Oblivion
3) Mass Effect

Matt-4542

Those are unconventional choices. In my opinion, both Oblivion and Mass Effect are RPGs. They're RPGs that have shooter elements, but they're a far cry from Halo, Call of Duty, and...Far Cry.

That last bit about Far Cry isn't as funny now that I actually read it. Anyway, my list goes something like this:

  1. Halo 3
  2. Half-Life 2
  3. Gears of War

Crackdown, Earth Defense Force 2017, and Gears of War in terms of fun I've had with them. (And all three are tons of fun.)

I liked Jericho. Fear was interesting, too. My personal best is Bioshock, but you mentioned not liking it, so I guess my vote would be for Half-Life 2.

anyone who says anything but H A L F - L I F E 2 is not right in the head, half life 2 is a mind blowing singleplayer that should not be missed by a single gamer on planet earth.

The topic wasn't which is the best gun SP. It was which is the best "shooter" Sp.

And what do you do with arrows?

I would have to say this is my list for 360 titles:

1. Bioshock

2. Call of Duty 4

3. The Darkness (this one was close to being number 2, such a great story)

4. Half-Life 2

5. Gears of War

6. Call of Duty 2

I don't think that's really fair. I "shoot" stuff in Galaga on my 360. That doesn't make it a shooter, as we're using the term.

Allow me to say again that I find this notion of Mass Effect and Oblivion being shooters to be rather dubious. They're RPGs that have some shooter elements. They're similar in that regard to Bioshock, which is a shooter with RPG elements. I'm aware that as more "hybrid" type games are released, these genre definitions become more subjective and problematic. However, I believe there's still a clear enough line to call Mass Effect and Oblivion RPGs. In both games, your level and cla*ss make you much more powerful than your Unreal Tournament abilities do. There's still a character out there that you're "role playing," who's cabilities in the game are distinct from your own.

Half-life 2 is no doubt the best. Gears of War is no doubt the second best (but far behind Half-life). And third is a dispute between Halo 3 and CoD4.. I think it goes to CoD4.
