Metroid Prime is not an FPS so BioShock, but in terms of stupid fun I guess Far Cry 5 (personal opinion no need to attack me)

 

[The artful mincer]

Another for Doom Eternal! Good to see it's getting the recognition it deserves.

Other Standout's include

Half Life 2
Halo 3

and Bulletstorm!

Doom 2016 would be on that list if Eternal didn't exist.

 

[gimmmick]

Halo 2

Combat evolved is probably my most played shooter of all time, but halo 2 just has the complete package at the time.

 

[TrebleShot]

Halo 1 no question about it.

 

[existensmaximum]

Deus Ex (original) if that counts. Easy.

 

[cireza]

Quake 3 / Unreal Tournament / Counter Strike as far as I am concerned.

 

[AV]

Doom for the "video games are important" award

Eternal is certainly up there, I get why it's divisive, but once it clicks it's an absolutely ballet of violence. Titanfall 2 plays wonderfully as well.

HL2 for a game that'll always be good to go back to, always.

 

[MagiusNecros]

First Person Shooter - Turok 2

Flower Picker Simulator - Animal Crossing.

 

[Laptop1991]

Fear 1, Half Life 2 just behind

 

[darrylgorn]

I'm not even going to bother with 'best' but as far as personal enjoyment goes, the original Turok was something to behold back in the day. It felt like the same leap that Mario 64 brought to platformers.

 

[SmokedMeat]

FEAR would probably be my top pick

Multiplayer: Insurgency Sandstorm.

Half Life Alyx if VR is considered.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Halo and Exhumed/Powerslave for me.

 

[Fuz]

Single: DooM, NolF, Half Life 1
Multi: Quake 2

Honorable mentions: Shogo, Blood 2, AvP2, Borderlands 1/2

 

[Fuz]

Titanfall 2 is definitely up there. The single player campaign is stellar.

Can I skip 1 and jump directly into 2, or is it better to play it?

 

[Alexvot86]

Halo CE for SP campaign, Halo 3 for Arena MP. Currently Destiny 2 for gunplay and feel.

 

[Fuz]

Deus Ex (original) if that counts. Easy.

It doesn't

 

[RAIDEN1]

This without question:

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Can I skip 1 and jump directly into 2, or is it better to play it?

The original Titanfall didn't have a single player campaign per se... its "campaign" was multiplayer matches with some extra comms and bits playing in a little window. I actually liked how it worked but you definitely don't have to play it.. not sure the population is there to play it anyway.

 

[Mokus]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

 

[Rush2112]

FEAR

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

BF 1942

 

[Mozzarella]

Hard one, probably Half Life for me, i value it more than Doom.

 

[Vyse]

Single player: Half-life 2
Multiplayer: Halo 2

This.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

My personal favorite:

Hunt: Showdown

 

[Games of Today]

Far Cry 2. No question about it.

Medal of Honor: 2010 is also unbelievable.

 

[thegame983]

Half life

 

[LostDonkey]

For me, COD4 Modern Warfare.

Online. Mama Mia.

Still unmatched the rush.

 

[JCK75]

Unreal Tournament 2004.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

Halo 3, it had everything for me. Some of the most fun I've ever had with the custom games scene, map making and just the competitive multiplayer in general being addictive to try rank up in.

 

[TronNerd82]

Quake II

 

[Diddy X]

Halo 3 is great

 

[TheGodfather07]

I agree with op. Doom eternal was the first thing to come to my mind. I've never had more fun in an fps game than with doom eternal.

Runner up is half life 2.

 

[CatLady]

Halo - ALL for campaign. I don' do MP.

 

[Black_Stride]

First Encounter Assault Recon.

If any game needs a Remake its this one.
I know Monolith is currently working on Wonder Woman, but WB have the license, the game isnt that long, im sure Monolith have a B-team that could work on remaking this with even better damage and better AI.

 

[Black_Stride]

Can I skip 1 and jump directly into 2, or is it better to play it?

You cant really play TitanFall anymore......the servers are empty so youll probably end up playing the same mission over and over without getting any of the lore.
But realistically TitanFall 2 is practically a standalone title and explains enough of the conflicts and lore that you will be totally fine.

 

[Mephisto40]

The original Doom 2

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

It is absolutely Doom II. Doom 2, by being willingly made open source by the devs, includes all of the content made by the community.

[nikos]

Unreal Tournament

 

[Nocturno999]

First Encounter Assault Recon.

Trepang 2 is the closest Fear remake you can get for now.
Here's the demo:

 

[keefged4]

Like best ever ever? Doom (1993) or Doom II.

 

[Black_Stride]

Trepang 2 is the closest Fear remake you can get for now.
Here's the demo:

Wishlisted this as soon as it hit.
I remember seeing their original demo videos and begging the devs to release it.

 

[Spyxos]

Half Life 2.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

For play mechanics it's COD and Halo, for the actual game it's Bioshock.

This is on the money Bioshock 1 and Halo 123

 

[Buggy Loop]

That's an unfair question

There's so many different kinds of FPS and they do not really overlap that much. Half Life 2 can be GOAT in the story centric FPS genre while Doom 2016 can be for the visceral FPS.

SPEED DEMON MAY CRY FPS - Ultrakill



Arena WAVES - Hyper demon



Story - Half Life 2

Immersive - Deus Ex

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Soldier of Fortune
Resistance fall of man

 

[AlteredForms]

There can only be one:

 

[Represent.]

Bioshock

 

[anthraticus]

Doom, Quake1/Arcane Dimensions, Duke 3D, Blood, Operation Flashpoint: CWC, Hidden & Dangerous series, R6: Rogue Spear..

 

[German Hops]

Quake 2.

 

[AlteredForms]

Quake 2.

I'm not going to say you're wrong homie, but you're wrong. I would take Quake 1 over 2 any day of the week.
