My vote goes for Unreal Tournament for multiplayer and Bioshock Infinite for single-player.
Co-op is naturally Halo, of course.

Most of the 90s FPS (guess it extends to early 2000s a little bit) [Doom, Quake, Unreal, Timesplitters, Rott, Blood, etc]
Only great modern FPS are Metro, STALKER and Flying Wild Hog games (Hard Reset, Shadow warrior). Rage was good too, albeit somewhat short of greatness.

Also, one of my favorite FPS games was Star Wars: Dark Forces

It's a Star Wars game no one ever talks about, but it's a great FPS gem!

The first FPS I ever played!

Even though Doom and Wolfenstein are older I didn't play those until after Dark Forces. Thought it was pretty great for it's time, but I feel the Jedi Knight games afterwards did surpass it. I was scared to death to play the third level, the sewers with the Dianogas. XD

I'll pick 10 12, more or less in order, favorite on top. So I'd say;

GoldenEye 007 (N64)
Call of Duty (PC)
No One Lives Forever (PC)
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (PC)
Star Trek Elite Force (PC)
Wolfenstein 3D (Mac)
Call of Duty 2 (PC)
Bioshock (PC)
Duke Nukem 3D (Mac)
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (PC)
Quake III Arena (PC)
Outlaws (Mac)

Word of advice - decide early how you want to handle franchises/sequels and flag that for readers. 

Also be clear about your criteria:

 

  1. Games that were great when they launched versus games that are great now
  2. Whether mods will be counted, and if so do they replace a poorer original on the list
  3. If you make ANY attempt to give a little love to all systems just because - admit it up front
  4. Games that are incredible and have heavy shooting elements, but are better considered in other genres (eg. Mass Effect)
  5. The treatment of sequels/franchises

 

Options for point number 4:

 

  • Only the best game from a franchise will be eligible.
  • Every game exists in its own right and therefore multiple games can appear on the list
Games to consider I particularly like or haven't seen mentioned yet:
  • Gears of War - narrowing it down I would say 2 and 4.
  • Perfect Dark
  • Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock original (in that order)
  • DOOM - Simpsons Mod (this is literally a more entertaining DOOM)
  • Raptor: Call of the Shadows
  • Future Cop: L.A.P.D.

 

The thread seemed to be going fine and was actually a fun and interesting one.  People were just naming off games they enjoy in the genre.
