Forums - Gaming Discussion - whats the best fps game ever

I'd say that the most overall polished FPS I've played (so far) was Half Life 2.

As its style/themes appeal to me it also remains my favorite.

Honourable mentions though to the founding fathers (Doom, Doom2) and to recent highs like COD4.

I actually prefer Deus Ex / System Shock 2 overall but I don't consider them 'pure' FPS and more of a FPA (First Person Action) game that happen to have some shooting but plot/puzzles and the narrative are much stronger and important.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

All time: Half-life or Counter strike. Either will do fine

Consoles: Halo or Golden Eye. If we didn't have golden eye, we wouldn't have FPS on consoles. If we didn't have Halo, they wouldn't play this good today.


I'm going with Half-Life though.



what about halo



Perfect Dark was just too choppy for me to enjoy.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)

Goldeneye was the revolutionary, but this game improved on it in every way.
