wait, you're talking about Shooters, yet you don't even know about the best Shooters?! (which are all PC games).

Best Multiplayer: Counter-Strike: Source
Best Teamplay: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Best Singleplayer: Deus Ex
Best Design: Half-Life 2
Best Innovation: Portal
Best Graphics: Crysis
Best Physics: Crysis

In my opinion the OP knows nothing about Shooters.

 

Console gaming!

My god I love shooters last Gen i wasnt much of a shooter at all, Call of duty 4 and its Multiplayer turned me into an addicted shooter/Savage sniper codenamed Soap lol. Since than I have bought Kilzone 2, Quantom of Solace, R6vegas, r6vegas2, Cod5, Resistance 2 and Far cry2. I know some people have said that there are too many shooters hitting the market, I say the more the merrier. I hope to purchase the Xbox 360 also the home of great shooters e.g. Halo 3, Gears of war 2 etc.

The thread is made to praise the 'Shooter genre', discuss upcoming games. Best Multiplayer offerings, which game is considered the 'King of shooters. Many have said that Killzone 2 has overtaken Cod4 as the King of shooter, what do you think? Please participate with your comments and contributions and what game your most looking forward to.

The Games that have shaped and defined the Genre.

Honourable/Special Mention -   

Many people forget that Ghost recon: Advanced Warfighter was the first real HD shooter, Universally acclaimed and the only game to have received a 9.9 from Gametrailers. Which is quite an achievement considering the stellar of shooter released.

I recommend you check out Far cry 2 really amazing game!

The most anticipated shooter 'Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 is expected to be released this November, which should give killzone 2 a run for it's money. The Wanted 'videogame' is coming soon.

Games to look forward to:

  • Cod Modern Warfare 2 release date 19th of November 2009
  • Gears of War 3 is expected to be released fall of 2010, awaiting confirmation.
  • Killzone 3 is expected to be released in 2010, awaiting confirmation.
  • New titles James bond game expected 2010 release.
  • Ubisoft are set to release 2 brand new Ip's (shooters)
  • Resistance 3 expected to be released in the near future lol
  • A new Ip from Bungie Studios.
  • A new titled Brothers is Arms game.

I want to ask you the following questions

  • Which game has the best Multiplayer offering?
  • Which game do you consider the 'King of Shooters'?
  • What game do you consider as the most significant?

Please contribute with any comment or information you would like to share. I will keep this thread updated with new information as I find it.

Last comment, continue the assault in the multiplayer mode do not have mercy and be ruthless in your aiming

 

 

 

Where is the game that brought multiplayer online gameplay to the masses, Unreal Tournament?

Gears added nothing to the genre, same with Resistance, R6:Vegas doesnt belong, COD4 doesnt belong, Killzone doesnt belong.

where is Quake, Wolfenstein, Tribes, and the other games that actually evolved the genre and made it what it is today? You literally only have 3 games there that shaped the genre in some form or another which are Halo, Half-Life and Golden Eye. 

You tried with this post but I missed WAY to much to consider yourself a true shooter fan.

Maybe. But no Doom, Perfect Dark, Quake, Counter Strike, Half Life 1, Timesplitters 2, Wolfenstein, etc.

Also shooters is a very broad genre. It also includes arcade shooters, shootem ups, and side scroller shooters. So House of the Dead, Duck Hunt, Space Invaders, etc.

For such praise of the genre I see very little knowledge of the greatest ones in it. New age definition I presume of the shooter genre which is why so much is forgotten.

It's a great genre but I think it still competes with RPGs, platformers, and Strategies for the most celebrated.



The N64 generation of shooters would have to be the best. I mean Goldeneye and Perfect Dark? How could anything else compete. If Perfect Dark had online multiplayer it would be the most amazing thing in the world. If Microsoft could release Goldeneye HD like they wanted I would by a 360 just for that!!

King of multiplayer? Resistance 2 easily. Best co-op experience on a console, aswell as epic 60 player battles.

However, overall I believe KZ2 trumps R2 in other departments to make it the best shooter of this generation and in my opinion, the best shooter ever.

Oh, I definitely agree that Resistance 2 has the best co-op on any console. It's pretty intense!

I haven't spent much time with Killzone 2 online, but it's definitely good. I'd say my favorite is still Warhawk though.



Shooting games are great with a doubt but they are not the best genre in gaming. I think Call Of Duty 4 is one of the best shooting games I ever played. The sequel to Call Of Duty 4 modern wafare will be awesome.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

My best shooters this gen

 

Halo 3
Call of Duty 4
Killzone 2
Gears of War 2
Socom: Confrontation

Best Multiplayer offering: Halo 3

 



WoW lots of new First person shooters fans here, I've been playing FPS since the first Quake back in 1996, one of my favorite FPS is Half life 2 and I was extremely addicted to Halo 2 multiplayer
