For the lazy

  1. Goldeneye 007
  2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  3. Counter Strike: Source
  4. Half Life 2
  5. Halo 3
  6. Starseige: Tribes
  7. Battlefield 2
  8. Team Fortress 2
  9. Doom
  10. Unreal Tournament

I know everyone is going to focus on b1tching about that top 2(probably #5 as well), and the heavy emphasis on MP here, and of course Sniper will come in to show how unfunny he is. And I get some decent money on Darklinks b1tch ass complaining about Half Life 2/Cod4/ and some nonsense about Quake. But I think the group is certainly a good list considering most lists tend to just suck. A lot of it seems to be impact based(and admittedly the top 2 are entirely console impact based), and sure some of them are games that aren't even best in their franchise. I'm not big on the order, and certain picks, but that's actually not too shabby.

Plus they get bonus points for knowing better. UNREAL FOR LIFE!! F*CK QUAKE

Anyway what say you System Wars?

Well, I can agree with Goldeneye. At that time it was one of the best FPS made for consoles. MW1 is a good game and possibly still the best CoD done. But why CSS instead of 1.6?

What a piss poor list, HLF 2 should be ether number 1 or 2 (probably 3 at the least), Doom should be around 5 ish, UT is at the right place, MW1 should be number 9 (that's being a little generous actually, I don't know if I would put it in the top 10). Everything else needs to gtfo specially goldeneye, that game aged so bad.

Master_ShakeXXX

As much as I would agree with this heresy. It loses out on two reasons

A: Plenty of people don't count it as a FPS. Like so many people get into "OH ITS NOT A FPS, ITS NOT. yada yada" Which is my guess for how games like Deus Ex/System Shock 2 got left out.

B: The top 10 sort of had an influence and eventual imitators; As amazing MP is, I can't really think of a game that borrows what it did outside well more Metroid games. I'm 90% sure it ended up in their top 10 of the decade list(which actually wasn't that bad again if you go on impact, and make peace with the concept that they are heavily console based) so it certainly wasn't for a lack of admiration for Metroid Prime.

Master_ShakeXXX

Not an FPS. It's a first person adventure game. It's all about exploration and puzzle solving, just like the classic 2D games it's based from. The biggest factor which differentiates Prime from actual shooters is the "shooting" mechanic, which isn't free aim twitch based (like any other title from Doom, to Halo, to COD, to Killzone).

Instead you have a lock-on system (not aim assist that only nudges the reticle but still requires player aiming, actual lock-on) so player aiming isn't required once you have the lock. Samus can strafe and jump and still hold the target. This is a critical feature in boss fights to target their weak spots, often themselves being a puzzle challenge.

I'm just going to assume they left it out so the other games don't look bad. They're not worthy of being on the same list as Metroid Prime.

There's Metroid Prime, and then there's everything else.

Eh, I've always just considered it an FPS myself. I sent you a PM btw.

What you just described is more or less a hybrid or a game that borrows heavily from other genres. I'm not big on having genre discussions

Because A: they are f*cking stupid, and miss the entire point. Game is fantastic, who cares about the genre label(yes this means Mass Effect discussions, because this board gets too busy trying to label what type of game it is instead of actually discussing what worked and didn't work in that franchise).

B: it gets into dumb little semantics that really aren't the meat of genre. FPS games are glorified action games to begin with. They are action games, and they just happen to fall into their own sub genre due to the popularity and significance of that perspective change. For all intents and purposes Metroid Prime is a first person action game. The boss fights, the pirates, and plenty of moments in that game are action. Yes it has adventure elements. The same way Half Life 2 has adventure elements also. The same way System Shock 2 and Deus Ex have RPG elements(admittedly those are even more difficult to categorize into single genres).

Personally it should count on the sheer premise that it shows that you don't need to be a white knuckle or balls to the walls action game in this genre. Certainly Shadow of Chernobyl or Cryostasis never had to be. It's every bit an Action/Adventure game, and frankly nothing about how it handles its action should mean it shouldn't be matched up against those other guys. What it lacks in visceral thrills it makes up for on a more cerebral standpoint. But again this is just arguing dumb things that get away from the point. Metroid Prime is a work of excellence.

This is not to say I think a game like Portal is a FPS because I know someone in this thread is going to bring that up as some sort of sh1tty counterargument(and it will be 100% sh1tty, congrats in advance to this future jackass). Game is straight up puzzles. You couldn't even argue it as an action game if you wanted to.

As a former gametrailers community member Before looking at thread. i already know list is full of bad games and guess i was right. Gametrailers's Shane has extremely low standard in gaming. i mean COD4 at no2??? and goldeneye at no1?? WTF??? theres better list 1. STALKER 2. Half life 3. Deus Ex 4. Riddick EFBB 5. Crysis 6. Return to castle wolfenstein 7. Rainbow Six Raven Shield 8. Ghost Recon 9. Metro 2033 10. Team Fortress 2SNIPER4321
Other than 6, 8, and 9. I'm not completely disgusted by your list.

But enough of your games lack some actual impact on the genre in terms of influence. A lot of them are one of a kind, and yes a lot better games than Goldenye, CoD4, Halo 3, but in their defense they were aiming for some influence. And in that regard they had some fairly good points.

This is true. They certainly don't make em like that anymore. It's like if they made a top 10 third person shooters of all time or top 10 action games of all time. Lets get real Resident Evil 4 is winning. Because there is Resident Evil 4, and then there are games completely inferior to Resident Evil 4.

That's a pleasant surprise.I honestly expected them to nominate like 5 COD games or something.

Although I would have went with Tribes 2 instead of 1 and HL 1 instead of 2.

Or Unreal 2k4 and Halo:CE over Halo 3(impact over arguably the better game in certain respects such as MP, hell if it was MP it should have been Halo 2 for its impact on xbox live). Or Doom 2 over Doom if you want to go with the better Doom. Hell I would argue 2142 was a way better game than Battlefield 2. There are a lot of changes and differences from my own taste, but thematically I can roll with this list. A lot of it has some good justification.

Omitting a WW2 shooter does seem odd. But I cant pick one WW2 shooter asI felt the WW2 influence spread slowly through a few games/franchises taking on the setting.

I'd move Unreal somewhere around the top :P, it's the better franchise. It's just that Quake had alot of influence in popularizing the WASD+full mouse look control scheme on PC, bringing along true 'twitch' gameplay. (Though it wasnt Quakes standard control scheme, as you had to type in +mlook in the command box to enable it; about everybody was using it).
