Poll Best FPS game of all time? (105 votes)

Half Life 2 30%
ST.A.L.K.E.R. 8%
Halo: Combat Evolved 23%
Crysis 6%
Battlefield Bad Company 2 5%
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 8%
Counter-Strike 6%
Bioshock 6%
Quake III 7%
System Shock 2 3%

I don´t let allow for random games or latest fps game is automaticly best game of all time like i see what gamespot users are saying. Like Modern Warfare 3 is greatest game of all time, black ops 2 best ending of all time, killzone shadow fall best story ever told.. NO JUST NO

Top 10 game in list is took from many webpages and poll. So, i listed top 10 FPS games of all time according to users and critics. Remember. Just because game came out first but is not good, does not make good fps game. I had Goldeneye 007 in poll but now it´s replaced with Counter-Strike because after reading critics and polls, i see that people liked Counter-Strike more and it´s one of the most played games of all time.

Half Life 2

ST.A.L.K.E.R.

Halo: Combat Evolved

Crysis

Battlefield Bad Company 2

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Counter-Strike

Bioshock

None on the list are ones I even played yet. :P I do have some FPS games though, I do have Golden Eye, however I'm surprised no one's mentioned Perfect Dark (N64 version) yet, definitely one of my favorites.

Doom II: Hell on Earth by leagues and leagues.

I'm surprised more people aren't stressing games like this. Shoot shoot shoot. This kind of play is rare in todays games and I think it is just a matter of modern taste. Part of the reason I liked Halo 4 so much was that it brought some of this style back--where the gameplay is almost like translating a top down wave-shooter into fps form. Same goes for Goldeneye. Goldeneye gets so much crap these days but it does so much right as far as pacing in regards to how the shooting actually works.

Lastly, Rage is probably the most underrated game last gen.

Half-life 1, but I'll go ahead and pick Quake III.

EDIT: I also find it pretty hilarious that some people are saying Goldeneye. While it may have been okay for when it came out, as a shooter, it's not good. Level design was great and it was fun but its shooter mechanics are bad and it's almost unplayable now. Plus Quake had come out a year before it so.......

This is how it almost always goes:

PC Gamers - Quake/CS/STALKER/Half-Life/Unreal Tournament (depending on what year you were born, how pretentious you are, or how hardcore you want to sound)

Xbox Fanboys - Halo

Sony Fanboys - Half-Life (because none of their exclusive shooters are nearly the best, and only the most foolish/ignorant bother trying to argue for any)

Nintendo Fanboys - Metroid Prime/Goldeneye (if they are over 25 years old)/FPSs are overrated

Voted for Half Life 2, though in total, I've had more fun with the first three Halo games.

But I didn't think it was fair to compare 1 game vs 3 games.

Halo: Combat Evolved is still my favorite first-person shooter (and one of my top ten favorite games ever). That said, Metroid Prime has been mentioned in this thread, and it is a far superior game than any Halo. However, I don't usually think "first-person shooter" when I think of Metroid Prime. It's that...but it's so much more!

Overall..SWAT4 IMO. Incredible campaign that's far more replayable than majority of other FPSes thanks to random placement of enemies and hostages. The very best co-op ever made and quite satysfying competitive MP

But Half Life 2? Best Ai, first best story telling game, physic, all modded games, and everything else? Thanks to Half Life 2, PC is now biggest video game market (80% PC, 20% all other consoles total). Steam alone dominates everything thanks to Half Life 2. Also i like that Half Life 2 has real feeling like you living in city 17, and trying to escape and having villain controlling city... but in Halo maps were emptry and game had no villain. Sad

also, what's the latest on NOLF getting a digital release?

I have never had the chance to play it, and have been waiting for it to come out on GOG for ages. Most anticipated GOG release since System Shock 2

@FreedomFreeLife: I love Half-Life 2, but I didn't mention it in my comment. I'll say it's my second favorite FPS next to Halo. But again, if Metroid Prime is to be considered FPS (I think it's just too grand to place under that umbrella), then it's the best, and it's not even close.

You played Episodes too? You played Half Life 2 on PC or on consoles?

Why Halo over Half Life? I found Halo 1 boring because game had no villain, maps were large but empty. Halo 3 and 4 has something to do, maps are more details and enemies to kill. I felt that tone is too much same.

Half Life had this epic feel. You fight against zombies, you fight against soliders, you fight with team, allies, alone. You have villain. You have epic story line(NOT A SINGLE CUT SCENE!!!!). Every map is different and you do different thing like driving with car, fighting in zombie city, fighting in urbal and stuff like that.

Not sure I like the question because you can have different types of FPS and enjoy them for different reasons. For example, I like Crysis 1 and Crysis 2/3 even though they're a different type of FPS apart from the Nanosuit. Then I like Halo even though that is different still, I also like Cod etc.

I notice you have Bad Company 2 on the list. I think that's the one that was free on GwG the other week. I played the single player, but I don't think it's that good. I prefer Cod 2 over that even. To be fair though, even the old Cods have aged pretty well.

I agree, I did not enjoy the gameplay too much. The only think that kept me playing was the that I loved the graphical style. And still gave up when the those zombie things (I can't remember) got involved.

I tried it on multiple platforms and I don't get the hype around it.

Half Life 2 had better AI and SMARTER AI than Halo

Did AI even talk or had friendly gameplay or think with head in Halo? Nope

Gameplay is also better in half life 2. I mean halo gameplay is too casual. too clean and empty. All auto aim and you cant miss any bullets.

Ai ran away, took cover, reloading weapon, group attack, split attacks but what about Halo? On empty map they just running and shooting.

EASY AND CASUAL GAMEPLAY DOES NOT MAKE GAMEPLAY MECHANICS BETTER LIKE IN HALO. STALKER GAMEPLAY MECHANICS HAD BETTER, THEN HALF LIFE 2 AND THEN HALO.

You can´t play hardcore gameplay NOOB. YOU ARE NEWB AND NOOB!!

Are you talking about friendly npc ai or combat ai? HL 2's combat ai is awful.

Halo is a much more challenging game. The ai doesn't just stand still out in the open taking pot shots at you. There's a big difference between auto aim and aim assist which Halo has.

Your combat ai description sound like Halo not HL 2. HL 2 ai isn't even programmed to dodge vehicles.

Halo on normal is harder than HL 2 hardest difficulty plus in hL 2 you can spam the quicksave key so dying means nothing.

Here's HL 2's awesome ai in action

Half-Life 2/Counterstrike is pretty much one game. One is the campaign component, and the other is the multiplayer component as far as I'm concerned.

Half-Life 2 is just a different breed of shooter. It's something special.

Halo is very close. I enjoy Halo more playing the campaign cooperatively.

Nonetheless, the two games are so different and are must haves in any shooter fan's library.

And just a quick side note, Bioshock is overrated... take the atmosphere and environment out, and you have mediocre shooting mechanics and gameplay. The hype with that game nears Call of Duty levels.

And note 2... the only mode I do enjoy of the Call of Duty series is the Zombie mode.

Yeah, I played Half-Life 2 and its Episodes via The Orange Box on Xbox 360. Honestly, the cons you mention about Halo can be applied to Half-Life 2, and the pros you mention about Half-LIfe 2 are applicable to Halo. Some of the areas in Half-Life 2 were also large and empty, but I'm not deducting points from it for this reason. Like in Halo, getting from point A to B is all part of the fun, though the vehicles in Half-Life 2 have mediocre controls (maybe it's a console problem).

I probably give Halo the edge over Half-Life 2 for its excellent co-op, campaign (the vehicular battles are just awesome), and great local multiplayer. And the fact that there is no single villain in Halo does not bother me. In the grand-scheme of things, the Covenant and Flood are enemies in the great war presented in Halo, and that's plenty enough for me. Half-Life 2 is superb, like I said, but I personally like Halo a lot more. Halo is a 9.5/10; Half-Life 2 is a 9/10, in my opinion. You like Half-Life 2 more, so I say, "Good for you."

I voted Halo CE as I feel besides maybe Golden Eye on the N64, no game had such a lasting effect on the FPS genre for consoles. My top 5 as a console gamer.....

1. Halo CE

2. CoD 4

3. Timesplitters 2

4. Golden Eye

5. Bioshock

I personally feel there are games more deserving of nomination than Bad Company 2, Call of Duty 4, and Bioshock. Where are games like Battlefield 2, Team Fortress 2, Unreal Tournament, and Tribes.

@FreedomFreeLife: I love Half-Life 2, but I didn't mention it in my comment. I'll say it's my second favorite FPS next to Halo. But again, if Metroid Prime is to be considered FPS (I think it's just too grand to place under that umbrella), then it's the best, and it's not even close.

You played Episodes too? You played Half Life 2 on PC or on consoles?

Why Halo over Half Life? I found Halo 1 boring because game had no villain, maps were large but empty. Halo 3 and 4 has something to do, maps are more details and enemies to kill. I felt that tone is too much same.

Half Life had this epic feel. You fight against zombies, you fight against soliders, you fight with team, allies, alone. You have villain. You have epic story line(NOT A SINGLE CUT SCENE!!!!). Every map is different and you do different thing like driving with car, fighting in zombie city, fighting in urbal and stuff like that.

Yeah, I played Half-Life 2 and its Episodes via The Orange Box on Xbox 360. Honestly, the cons you mention about Halo can be applied to Half-Life 2, and the pros you mention about Half-LIfe 2 are applicable to Halo. Some of the areas in Half-Life 2 were also large and empty, but I'm not deducting points from it for this reason. Like in Halo, getting from point A to B is all part of the fun, though the vehicles in Half-Life 2 have mediocre controls (maybe it's a console problem).

I probably give Halo the edge over Half-Life 2 for its excellent co-op, campaign (the vehicular battles are just awesome), and great local multiplayer. And the fact that there is no single villain in Halo does not bother me. In the grand-scheme of things, the Covenant and Flood are enemies in the great war presented in Halo, and that's plenty enough for me. Half-Life 2 is superb, like I said, but I personally like Halo a lot more. Halo is a 9.5/10; Half-Life 2 is a 9/10, in my opinion. You like Half-Life 2 more, so I say, "Good for you."

On Xbox 360? Well this explains everything. PC has better graphics, AI update, gameplay, more game modes and stuff like that. Half Life 2 had only 1 area large and this was when you were driving with car but Halo had ALL AREAS EMPTY!!!

Story, gameplay complex(Half Life) > no story, casual gameplay(Halo). Like most reviews said, console port of orange box is 10 time worse than on PC. The thing is, Halo is casual game. Gameplay is too clean and too simple. Maps are large and empty. I prefer complex gameplay with details maps and good story. I played Half Life 2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 co-op with players and i had great fun. Death match is also good.

Also Halo had problem that it felt a whole singleplayer is just big large map with random AI enemies. Dident feel any real life. In half life it felt like you really in city, like you countryside, trying to help people and stuff like that but Halo just had large maps with punch AIs.

FEAR is probably the best FPS ever.

It's almost 10 years old and I'd still recommend it to anyone.

As close to perfection in terms of gunplay and satisfaction of killing enemies. The game is just so much fun. It also has top notch visuals, sound design, and a story that's worth paying attention to. 10/10 game.

Halo 2 by far.

I have played countless of FPS games on PC even before I ever played Halo but they all had casual server based matchmaking that ruined it for me. With the button combo glitches, Halo 2 was just as "hardcore" as any PC FPS that I played although if they removed those glitches then I wouldn't say that. Everyone used mics, the maps were amazing, the gametypes were amazing, the ranking system was amazing, the online was one of a kind and I loved the single player too and I think it's the best in the series when it comes to level design.
