Which FPS series has the best single player campaign?

You and Boutros have my vote and support here. Half-Life was a revolution in terms of gameplay, pacing and storytelling and implemented the grandfather of quicktime events in a non-cheesy way and did it seamlessly. The music was raw and sublime and the game was even fairly big and sported incredible AI (for the time). When Half-Life 2 rolled around, it did the exact same to the genre in many of the same areas in addition to being a stellar technical achievement (the Source engine still lives and breathes and still kicks ass, Left 4 Dead 2 looks amazing on my rig) and the title that shot Steam into the masses for real and started the most brilliant digital distribution venture to date.

Holy hell, I just realized just how poor those other franchises are in comparison.

I would like to add that Call of Duty 1 and 2 had fantastic single player campaigns but the rest of the series drag the overall grade for the franchise down by miles (Modern Warfare was good though).

Have you played Bioshock?

Yep. Played all the games on that list and then some, I've tried pretty much every big FPS game in the last fifteen years. I could write a long post on why Bioshock is not what it was touted to be, in fact; I've done it on many occassions.

That said, I am looking forward to Bioshcok: Infinite, if only because it looks absolutely bonkers!
