I hate lists like these. Everything after 20 might as well be in alphabetical order.

Is Half Life better than every other FPS that has ever been released?a bigger laugh is having 2 halo's in the top 10.campzorJust goes to show there is no real solid halo game.
It was when it first came out in 1998, if you played Half-Life within the last 5 years or so, the game will not be impressive. Sorry you're too young to remember.IMO, the fact that Half Life is No. 1 on the list is laughable. Â It seriously wasnt as amazing as people say it is.

Console built shooters should not be on any top 100 list.
Halflife at the top, we could see a mile away. Even a website as bad as IGN should be able to see this clear as day. At this point, only hipsters attempt to throw mud (badly) at Halflife.

Actually shooters have degenerated into walking in a straight line wacking moles as they pop up for 5 hours with highly uninteractive scripted sequences and AI that should be revoked. It's pretty sad a game from 1998 stil feels ahead. But hey, thats console influence for ya.
Glad to see Half Life at the top, it's not my favorite FPS game of all time but I played it in 2010 and it was still very enjoyable. That's crazy good for a game made in 1998. Quake 3 at 17 is disappointing however, it easily deserves to be in the top 10.
Also sad to see Shadow of Chernobyl didn't make the cut, that game is phenomenal for what it is. Half Life 2 doesn't deserve to be in the top ten, let alone number three.
it boggles my mind how someone could say half-life does not deserve to be number one.. than what the hell does? if you say anything released in the past decade, you're an idiot (seeing as how dumb down games have become). Half-Life in 1998 was one of the greatest games released at that time. and the modding community further put FPS at the top of the online pyramid. Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, Natural Selection, Action Half-Life, The Specialists, ect.Console built shooters should not be on any top 100 list.

Also in terms of being a good game, not an FPS I could see Deus Ex being put over it as well.

Quake 3 really boosted the competitive FPS genre.[QUOTE="FLOPPAGE_50"][QUOTE="uninspiredcup"]

Why is Unreal Tournament listed twice?
Otherwise, I suppose it's an okay list. I personally prefer HL2 to to HL, but I won't complain since the former was also very high on the list.
Also, I don't understand why BioShock is so popular.

IGN failed for having Killzone 3 on the list, but no Killzone 2. KZ2 is one of my favorite shooters ever.
Wow IGN is becoming an even bigger joke.
This list sucks so bad, I'm surprised they didn't include Aliens: Colonial Marines since they obviously like being the joke of the gaming industry.
I have played the following:
96- Halo: Reach (Excellent)
95- Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (fun)
92- Crysis 2 (fun, Halo: Reach is better)
89- Doom 3 (average)
88- Unreal Tournament 2003 (fun)
85- Deus Ex: Human Revolution (fun)
82- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Excellent)
78- STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (fun)
73- Hexen (fun)
69- Rainbow Six: Vegas (fun)
68- Halo 3 (excellent, the best Halo, should be at least 40 to 50 spots higher)
66- Bulletstorm (crap)
64- Prey (mediocre)
60- Timesplitters 2 (mediocre)
58- Return to Castle Wolfenstein (average)
57- Halo 3: ODST (excellent, but should be lower than Halo 3, can be closer to Halo: Reach)
56- Painkiller (fun)
53- Metro 2033 (average but great atmosphere)
51- Serious Sam (fun)
50- Quake (excellent)
49- Doom 2 (excellent)
48- Unreal (fun)
46- Halo 4 (fun, but Halo 3 should be higher)
44- Call of Duty; Black Ops (average)
43- Borderlands 2 (fun, near excellent)
42- Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (mediocre)
41- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (an absolute joke that this is both so high up and higher than Echoes)
39- Far Cry (mediocre)
31- BioShock Infinite (excellent)
27- The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (excellent)
26- F.E.A.R. (excellent)
25- Crysis (excellent)
24- Left 4 Dead (fun)
21- Duke Nukem 3D (fun)
17- Quake III (excellent)
16- Unreal Tournament (excellent, should be lower than Quake III though)
12- Metroid Prime (excellent, too low on the list)
11- Wolf 3D (excellent)
10- Quake II (excellent and the best in the series)
8- BioShock (fun, but too high)
7- Halo 2 (excellent)
6- Goldeneye (mediocre... yes, mediocre)
5- Call of Duty 4 (fun, too high)
4- Halo: Combat Evolved (excellent, too low on the list)
3- Half-Life 2 (excellent)
2- Doom (excellent)
1- Half-Life (excellent)
15 years later, and Half Life is still topping charts. That game is way good. Still outclasses every other FPS as far as as single player is concerned.

As for the entire list, it appears to lose structure after about #20 or so. It seems like IGN was like "dang...we probably really shouldn't have been shooting to name 100 FPS games, so let's take what we got, paste it on the dart board, and throw darts to figure out the order of all the rest"
killzone 2 deserves a spot on that list; and even higher than kz 3, KZ 2 was one of the greatest PS3 exclusives to grace the system. the multiplayer was magnificent, absolutely magnificent - hearing the Helghast narrator during the multiplayer matches was just absolutely oustanding and added to the incredible immersion and gunplay. man i do miss that game.
one of my favorites- "Envy the dead, for the escape they  humiliation of this defeat" talk about ruthlessÂ
I was going to post this list, but a list that has Halo 3 in the sixties or forties or wherever does not deserve my time or to to be posted.Blabadon:o What? The game that sold almost 20 million 360's is listed around the 40ties and 60's? The one with a great SP and MP without being too short or with a terribble cliffhanger ending??
I really do not understand what the madclad is about Half Life, people make it sound like its the second coming or something but i played that game in the orange box thingy and found it just another shooter, albiet you had a crow bar and the ability to lift stuff, then zombies and aliens....but whatever
The game had huge impact when it was first released, as a 2004 game, it has phenomenal graphics & physics. It's the same when you play doom today and saying it's nothing but a generic simple shooter.I really do not understand what the madclad is about Half Life, people make it sound like its the second coming or something but i played that game in the orange box thingy and found it just another shooter, albiet you had a crow bar and the ability to lift stuff, then zombies and aliens....but whatever
megaspiderweb09
terrible list
it should be based on what's still good today
half-life #1 haha...
Â
also quake 3 is way better than q2
Bioshock shouldn't even be top 50, but other than that it's a nice list. KZ3 is where it belongs imo.

Right... Laughable... :roll:Â So which FPS deserves to be No. 1 then?
Is Half Life better than every other FPS that has ever been released?What's better than Half-Life? Halo? Call of Duty? :roll:
How is Unreal Tournament 2003 on there and there is no sign of 2004, which is a better entry in the series.ArisShadows
I know,right?
Terrible list.Also,UT2004 deserves to be in TOP 10.

Nothing. And what is really impressive is that you can boot up and play Half Life even now and still have great fun. Obviously the graphics are dated a bit, but thats only first impression. As soon as you start playing, you completely forget about that and it is just as enjoyable as it ever was.
