The award for best FPS gunplay this gen goes to................

...................RAGE.

So much fun to just shoot your weapons in this game,and lots of great variation in ammo types.(Also,best shotgun ever).

Feel free to disagree and post your favorite.

From what I've played, definitely Rage. The shooting is just awesome.

Call of Duty

Tribes Ascend

It requires real skills.

Killzone 2 had amazing gunplay in terms of feel.

Of course.....what was I thinking.:(

I agree.

Battlefield 3 has really good gunplay though nerfs have made some guns feel a little too samey and it's ruined by a terrible suppression mechanic.

on a sheer technical level I'd say Arma III. There is so much to take into consideration when shooting in that game

lastly STALKER had some pretty robust shooting

FEAR would be way up at the top if not for the fact it came out in 2005 

I actually prefer Killzone 2.

If you count how enemies react to being shot to gunplay, I can't even think of a single FPS that did it as good as Max Payne 3 or RDR.

Standard ragdoll death animations need to die, we need more dynamic stuff like Euphoria.

Borderlands. Everything just felt fun to shoot, good new guns conveyed a good sense of power, and there was always something crazy to find. Borderlands 2 actually went a bit too far with it with the manufacturer-specific traits, because if you don't like a particular manufacturer's drawbacks, there's no chance of finding a gun you like from them, whereas in BL1 you could at least find a few guns that weren't totally out of the question for you from any given manufacturer.lowe0

I thought the actual shooting in borderlands was the weakest part :( shooting in borderlands was just boring for me.

Awwwwwww gosh darn hate to say this, but if I base it purely on gun play factor Halo 3 or Halo 4 or even a COD game.

Gun play is not everything though, I enjoyed Orange Box, Bioshock and many others more.

The Darkness 2 or Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.freedomfreak

Glad you brought it up, completed my second playthrough today, and the gunplay is awesome, definitely didn't expect such a great FPS game for 15 EUR.

Aside from that, I really loved the gunplay in FEAR (does that count?), and in Far Cry 3 (Blood Dragon as well). Guess there are many more I could mention, but not in the thinking mood at the moment! :P

EDIT: Oh, wait, forgot about RAGE, must mention that one... as flawed as the game was, the shooting was excellent!

I agree with you,but did you play RAGE because the enemies did have fantastic animations when you shot them.

Arma 3 because it actually takes skill

This is true... it's also why I consider Max Payne 3 easily the best TPS this gen. While there are some high quality FPS games around, in terms of gunplay, nothing beats Max Payne 3. Would indeed be awesome if engines like Euphoria were more utilized.

This and COD4 ... Totally different experiences but both very satisfying. 

I would say Army of Two was great.  But RAGE is good too.

Yea,as far as TPS Max Payne 3 was in a class of its own.

I consider F.E.A.R. current gen because, while the NA version was released a few weeks before the 360's release, the Japanese version released about a month aftwards. So I count it! :P

Gunplay wise I have to say ether Farcry 3 (specially for the bow) and or BF3.

No, I didn't play it yet. Might pick it up when it's cheap some time :)

The only correct answer is Killing Floor.

Anyone who answered differently is a casual babby.

As for me I greatly enjoyed bullet storm gunplay and combat overall shame we won't be getting a sequel.

I'd say blog it, bro, but even this would be terrible for a blog.

Counterstrike

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I didnt think that much to Rage at all and its gunplay didnt stand out to me in any way either. Tribes Ascend, Killing floor and Hard Reset have some good gunplay though. However, STALKER is probably the one that stands out the most for me.
