Poll Best time period for FPS games? (27 votes)
Which time periods do you like best? Me personally, I love all of 'em (except WW2), but if I had to order them it would be:
- Vietnam War
- Near Future
- Modern Era
- Distant Future/WW2
- WW2/Distant Future

I dunno if a period is really the best way to define a fps, most play similar and there are good and bad examples of both for every era
I prefer modern & historic settings. I don`t mind games set in future as long as they have compelling story (which is rare), good atmosphere & if they are fun to play. Games with alternate history are also interesting, like Singularity & Resistance, for example.
Modern or Future
Why? Developers can create unique mechanics and stories without being tied to history.
Near Future is my favourite followed by Distant Future then Alternate History such as Wolfenstein and Singularity.
It's really difficult to say honestly, I guess I'd say far future just because Halo and Borderlands are probably my two favorite FPS franchises, but in all honesty I like a lot of elements of all time frames.

Wolfenstein Era
Crap, I forgot to include games with alternate history. But wouldn't that fall into the WW2 era?

Agreed! I love the modern setting and I definitely appreciate the historical era as well! Now as far as the future, that's one of the main reasons I love the Ghost Recon series! It covers what I call a hybrid era, it has modern weapons but at the same time, very advanced.
only time period I know is when Counter-Strike is in its finest..that is around late 99s to mid 2000s...stiff graphics,but high in fun value,I still love that game even on my now-dead PC despite my FPS skills are quite terrible
WW2 for me, simply because its based on real events and the games can have some real emotion to them.
I wanna see someone do the Napoleon Wars in an FPS. Mount and Blade had a bash. Lets see a CoD have a go too!
near/distant future.
it allows devs to be more creative with all the weapons, surroundings, items/gadgets, vehicles... well, you get the idea. everything.
you can go over-the-top with it (Unreal Tournament 3*), or you can do it more subtly (Battlefield 2142).
* UT3 because of the epic vehicles. Remember this? You were able to "walk" with it, or engage in "ball-mode" for ultra-fast rolling;
That said, Battlefield's Titan mode would be ultra-epic when combined with Unreal weaponry and vehicles. Complete with infatry class system.
