Quake III Arena is the best FPS of all time.

You have the Killzone series as a choice and not the Half Life series?:roll:

Best FPS is Half Life 2. Best series is Half Life.

Already in the works for next-gen systems and PC, just a rumor for now though but sounds very reliable.

Hexagon_777

That card should be just fine, rumor has it that it's being produced on the latest CryEngine though, "3.5"...

...and yes, 720 and PS4 apparently. :)

COD.... just because of COD4 :D

Lol @ Halo a console FPS. Too many noobs voting.kuraimen

I wasn't CPL or even CAL-I or anything but I was a CAL-O member of a decent team and played CS:S competitively and was nowhere near the top level. However I do consider myself to be a competitive FPS and fighting game player (top 100 in fight night champion, was top 10 Mortal kombat Deception, top 400 in MK2 on PSN, etc).

To say Halo is a "noob" game is ignorant. It is an MLG sponsored game and has been for years. People make a living on it just like CS players do. Halo is not an easy game to master. You play even against good 30s-40s level players and you will get rolled. I think Halo is THE definitive FPS from a competitive standpoint on consoles. Hands Down.

CoD and KZ over Quake and Unreal Tournament?

:lol: TC done goof'd.

Would be UT for me.

[QUOTE="Spartan070"]

[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]Next gen system being the Wii U, Xbox 720, and PlayStation 4, right? People don't still call the this generation the next generation, I hope...Anyway, I want it for the PC, but will my GTX 570 suffice?

Why the hell is Killzone and Call of Duty on that list?

It should be Battlefield, Half Life, Stalker, or Crysis. Why put mediocre FPS games on the list?

Counter-Strike overall, no question about it. Chances are if you are a gamer and you are 20+ years old, you have spend time with that game. Go back 8-10 years, and that game was an epidemic. It was everything people played, even the guys that would normally not play FPS games would play it. The game is so big, and had such an impact, that it is still the most played game on Steam, and have countless professional e-sport teams around the world competing for cash prices. The same can not be said for Halo. Granted i have completed the first 2 of the games, i never delved into multiplayer, as i come from a PC background, and would never settle for the clunky controls of a gamepad.

Halo really never did anything new, and Halo is, atleast in my opinion a completely average shooter. Slightly above average at best, if you compare the PC version to the rest of the library of the time. The only reason Halo got so popular, was quite honestly because it was the only good FPS game on a console, since GoldenEye for the N64.

Also what is up with some of the answers people have? CoD4? Killzone?? Granted, good games in their own right, but come on, we are talking best of all time here. Noone with a long histor of FPS games would ever mention any of those games. Actually they probably wouldnt even mention any game made after 2003.

Halo Reach

Half Life 2

Killzone 2

MW2

I agree with what you said, but the keyword is MLG.

MLG is the only tournament that takes console gaming serious, and as such Halo will never be big outside of the US. Not in the same sense as Quake, CS and StarCraft is.

You have Killzone and Counterstrike but no Half Life? :? From that list, Halo, easily.

Lol @ people saying KZ shouldn't be there and then choosing Halo. Competitive-wise KZ can be as challenging as Halo or more. Popularity =/= betterkuraimen

Modern Warfare 3.

Fallout 3.

MLBknights58

Does it have terrible shooting aspects or do you just suck at it? :o

It has terrible shooting gameplay. That's a fact. It's why they had the VATS system in place, because the game would have been unplayable without it.

Best FPS of all time is Goldeneye. It's still fun today if you get four people together.

This gen, Resistance 2 takes the cake.

If Metroid Prime counts, I'd pick that

The poll was pretty weak (No Quake or Unreal?), I voted for Counter Strike though.

Best FPS is Half Life 2. Best series is Half Life.

KC_Hokie

Multiplayer: Quake 3/Live by far.

Single player: FEAR or STALKER CoP.

Call of Duty all the way!!

the best FPS of this generation with the best online gaming

finalstar2007

I should have make the last one an "other" because frankly I would have liked to put left 4 dead up there as that has been very successful with a relatively active PC community. Oh well. Obviously people can say whatever they want but the poll only includes those that I listed.

Dave_NBF

Well this is tough, Halo has done alot more for FPS genre than the others did. But I feel Halo kinda lost it's way after Halo 2 and I enjoyed COD and Killzone more than the new Halo games this gen. So it's a tie between those two for me. But all the games you listed are good.

Quake.

I mean, there's no debate. Unless you play FPS games to firefight with AI instead of players, Quake is the best.

Tribes Ascend.

Quake.

I mean, there's no debate. Unless you play FPS games to firefight with AI instead of players, Quake is the best.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. The single-player in an FPS is, to me, like the cherry on top of a cake. Nice thing to add, but it's not the essential.

I mean, I'll play it once or twice, and by the second time I'll be owning the AI so hard it won't even be fun anymore. Multiplayer guarantees that I'll always find someone that's on or above my level :p.

Counter-strike is the only answer.
