It's Daikatana, and it sucked. Good marketing campaign though.

Duke Nukem 3D and Doom II Hell on Earth.

Console: Timesplitters 2- It's goldeneye (same devs very similar gameplay) with better controls and waaaay faster and it has bots. Nothing else comes close to the frantic awesomeness. It's the only console shooter that I enjoy as much as PC shooters.

PC: This is very hard. going to go by modes here

deathmatch - Quake III

Team modes - Team fortress 2

Coop - Left4Dead

Normal Single player -Half life 2

Really action based SP - CoD franchise (Infinity Ward only)

Not so normal SP - Bioshock

Puzzle - Portal

Doom or Half Life.

certainly.

others, as far as shooters go, don't hit the greatness or groundbreaking qualities of either for the genre.

these two define the shooter genre.

well - "best" isn't a universal statement...

it is like asking which is the "best" ice cream flavor or pizza topping... anyway, I'm not much of an FPS fan -

but, I did enjoy the original Half Life and Perfect Dark... overall though- I'd have to say either Perfect Dark (b/c of its multiplayer), or Lost Planet on 360- which was more action style than FPS.

fixed. Halo has a slow pace (particularly the combat), even if its design is much more forcused on action, than enviroment interaction at a slower pace like Half Life. Heck Half Life had rather fast combat.... just a slower overall pace due to exploration and puzzles.

ya I guess your right. There is some fast paced parts but slow also. Just for me Halo and Half-life are tied it is just they do it so different

...are you serious? Halo isn't even that fast for a console shooter. (CoD4 is faster and Timesplitters is WAY faster) Compared to PC shooters it is just plain sluggish.

Team Based - Team Fortress 2 Deathmatch: Quake 3 Single Player - Either Doom or Call of Duty + UO (IW, when are you gonna bring back the epic war feeling that your games used to have?) Fused with RPG elements: Easily Deus Ex or System Shock 2 Really it's impossible to pick the absolute best. I personally don't find the HL series to be all that spectacular because it has always had mediocre FPS mechanics fused with great physics and storytelling.

If it is considered an FPS, the correct answer is undoubtedly Deus Ex, followed by System Shock 2.

I'm playing that at the moment. It's been great so far, really gives you alot of freedom for an FPS or whatever you want to call it. I can see why you like it so much.

I would give this title to Half Life 2 though.

i was gonna say call of duty 4 is best modern shooter, but if you think about it, it's unbalanced as hell.

you cant shoot while sprinting, but the enemy walking can shoot you while ur sprinting.

making it unbalanced, if you could of shot awhile sprinting would of been more balanced.

quake 2 FTW
