Most of the list seems fine (assuming Half-Life is inclusing the Counterstrike mod) but as we're talking about influence, I question the inclusion of Goldeneye and Duck Hunt on the list.

Whilst Goldeneye was an amazing game and showed that FPS games could sell on consoles, it wasn't until Halo that a console FPS had a major influence on the genre (as far as games/gameplay goes, I prefer Goldeneye to Halo).

I'd put Wolfenstein 3D for truly creating the genre and Unreal Tournament for showing a multiplayer game could work on a critical and commercial level. Unreal Tournament also had the further influence of showcasing the first Unreal engine which has grown hugely in its last 3 iterations, and not just in the FPS genre.
