Yes i know the old favourite FPS game thread
What is your favourite FPS game of all time and why?

Mine is Battlefield 1942.. best of its kind. Battlefield Vietnam was like a piece of dog poo compared to it. Great maps vehicles and physics and still a great game now

Metroid Prime! If you've tryed it, then you'll understand why it's such a great FPS (First Person Scanner)

Probably Battlefield Vietnam. BF 1942 was awesome, especially the Desert Combat mod, but it got old after Vietnam came out. Vietnam's infanfry aspect is better in every way, shape, or form than 1942's. The only aspects that 1942 excelled in were slightly more memorable maps and a much stronger emphasis on vehicular combat. Like I said, I was tired of vehicular, hence me becoming obsessed with Vietnam.

Socom 2 for PS2. It's been out for a year and a half now, and I still am in a clan with over 30 people. I probably still play it 15 hours a week. Oh, I'm talking about the online play where you are fighting up to 15 other real people.

I can't seem to drag myself away from Joint Operations at the moment.

Who'd have thought launching a speed boat up a ramp into a chinook, taking off and hovering over the ocean then tipping the boat out of the back and hopping on as it plummets could be so addicitve?

The game's just full of really cool moments and potential stunts like these. You never know what's going to happen when you join a game

Good old fashioned Tribes. There was nothing quite as fun as filling up an HPC with a bunch of heavy armor guys, then crashing it into a turret.

Oh yes, and constants spammings of 'shazbot!'.

Unreal Tournament 2004 definitely. It just has so many game modes to pick from, tons of weapons and vehicles, and plenty of mods too.

Well, this isn't a classic FPS, but Deus Ex occupies the top slot in my book. It was really the first game that I played heavily on a computer and I loved it. I've beaten it at least 6 times and done so with a different skill set every time. I can't ask for more than great, varied gameplay and awesome replay value. I kind of wish they'd given a bit more flexibility of choices earlier in the game instead of just the three different endings, but hey.

thinktank

Doom 1 y'all. I've probably never played a video game for as much time as i spent on the original doom.

Rdr4evr

Half Life 1 hands down (haven't played 2 yet). It is the only FPS I actually played through more than 5 times, and I could probably do it all over again even this many years after it's release. I also loved the first Turok on N64.

peeweesbigbong

wwii Online is hands down the best virtual battlefield ever!

Joint operations though is pretty damn sweet too!

keeb

havent played to many fpss myslef but from what i have played i am stuck on Halo. *havnet gotten to halo 2 yet).

jvwgtr

I agree with Lasereth 100%...BFVietnam is just awesome.

Suave

Single Player: Half Life 2. Why? Ravenholme and the gravity gun! Plus oodles of other aspects of the game that speak for themselves.

Multiplayer: A tie between Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat. I like them both, but I'm better at Day of Defeat so I play it more.

Speaking of Day of Defeat, when does DoD source finally come out?!?


Oh, and yes, Day of Defeat gets my vote.

Well, if you would've asked me two years ago I would have said BF1942. But tastes change and some people get put on the Punkbuster blocklist for erronious reasons. Right now I'm addicted to FarCry since I just got a card that would run it (BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC), but UT2k4 is still my fav. I plan on getting HL2 at some point as well. But that's just PC. I have an XBOX, just like most male college students. I also have only two games for it: Halo and Halo 2.

right now it is Halo 2. but if i had to choose the best FPS of all time... for me it would be Doom 2. i played that game so freaking much. one of the best, and most influential, games of all time.

irateplatypus

for its time: goldeneye (n64)

now: team fortress... i kick it old school

ah hell, how I forgot about goldeneye is beyond me, add that to my top three for sure. the hours i spent with that masterpiece...the memories.

Telluride

I'd say Deus Ex, due to its outstanding (at the time) graphics and interesting plot. Of course, my answer may change if I ever play Half Life 2.

fluzza

good to see all the bf42ers still like it as it is a pretty old game

Unreal Tournament. I still play it from time to time today. Nothing can top the maps Morpheus and Face. You can do capture the flag, assault, team, or free for all. This was like the first FPS I ever played with decent AI and you can play multiplayer. I have hundreds of hours playing this. Best gun is the flask cannon and my favorite to use is the sniper. So great!!!

I agree 100%, the Facing Worlds map is the best CTF map ever, hands down. UT also has a chance at being one of the greatest games of all time.

TheWalkinDude

I don't know how I forgot that one, considering it's my favourite game of all time. Every time you replay it it seems fresh and exciting.

ChasingAmy

I agree with you. This is one of the best... revolutionized Fps IMO.

Starsiege:Tribes was amazing. Seems like some games have taken a step back as far as gameplay goes.

HL2/DM/CS

I don't know why, but I'm addicted to Deathmatch more than anything.

meig

Half-Life 2 is one great game. UT2K4 is another favorite of mine, but it is nothing compared to Half-Life 2.

piesen

Well Im a MOHAA fan big time and with the mods out there I have a hard time not playing
and I like BF1942 DC

Wingless

I'm quite addicted to Call of Duty right now, completely for the multiplayer online aspect, however.

Console multiplayer is a toss-up between Halo 2 and Goldeneye/64.

Single-player PC goes to Doom 1. Classic, classic, classic.

Red Orchestra mod for UT2K4 has to be the best WW2 online shooter I have ever played. I also liked Deus Ex and Half Life 2.
