What are your top 3 favorite FPS games of all time?

Game name, platform and if you want, you can say why.

3)Left 4 Dead 2

Best CO-OP and best Zombie game of all time. Gameplay is perfect, and versus mode is best. Zombies + online = THIS GAME IS FOR YOU. If you love co-op, this is the right game to play.

2)Half-Life 2

Best story telling game of all time. 0 cut-scenes, all gameplay. Dramatic story, good gameplay, this game changed gaming.

1)S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Most realistic open world, Atmosphere, RPG + FPS + Hardcore mix game i ever played. Plot is interesting. It has RPG, FPS, Hardcore, horror, open world, multiplayer elements. A.I is also very smart.

The action and storyline in Stalker takes place in an area based on the true Chernobyl nuclear accident, called 'the zone' in the game. The storyline takes some license in the placement of towns and areas around the shuttered power plant encompassing about 30 square kilometres. In the storyline, people have tried to repopulate the area with scientists and military; however, almost twenty years after the first incident, there is a second disaster. The second incident kills or mutates the majority of the personnel. Stalker begins many years later with incursions into the zone by people in search of artefacts, information, and money.

The game opens with an unconscious and wounded man regaining awareness in the company of a man named Sidorovich; a black marketeer operating inside the exclusion zone. Although he is alive, the wounded man has no memory other than the acronym 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R.' tattooed on his arm and the message 'Kill Strelok' written in a PDA he has. Given the nickname 'Marked One', the Stalker repays Sidorovich by performing assigned tasks, thereby receiving information about Strelok's possible location. Following the clues and tracking Strelok's movements, he begins to learn more about his target. He meets and interacts with different characters along the way who lead him to believe the answers lie inside the power plant itself.

I agree with number 1 as stalker is a manly man game. And I only play manly man games.

1. Half Life 2

2. Crysis

3. No One Lives Forever 2

Mine are doom 1, quake2, and half life 1. Between those games and all the free mods for them I had all the fps I needed for years back in the day.

Halo, Battlefield and probably Left 4 Dead or Perfect Dark(only the first game)

1. Half-Life 2
2. Bioshock
3. Halo series

Metroid Prime (maybe not technically a FPS)

Bioshock

Resistance series (doesn't get a lot of love, but I enjoyed them)

1. Half Life 2

2. Far Cry 3

3. Halo: CE

Really hard, so I'll go with one that came to mind earlier today.

The Darkness.

Achja.

1.- Metroid Prime. Not a traditional FPS but game was epic as hell.

2.- Half Life 2. Loved it, simply amazing, you can't argue against the Freeman.

3.- Bioshock Infinite. I really liked the game, had a lot of fun with it.

1) Half - life --> THE revolution of FPS . Whoever played the game back then knows what im talking about. Newbies cant understand.

2) Counter Strike --> THE best competitive multiplayer online FPS of all time and the most successful mod in PC history. Possible because of Half life but still excelled as stand alone game also ( except CS:Source )

3) Wolfestein 3D --> The FATHER of 3D shooters. You cant bypass the game that started everything and not put it on top 3 !

That was my list.

Multi-player

1. Counter Strike Source
2. Golden Eye
3. Unreal Tournament 2004

Single player:

1. Half life 2
2. Metroid Prime
3. Crysis

Sorry I couldn't chose 3.

1) Half Life 2
2) Bioshock Infinite
3) Bioshock

I can't pick only 3. I really like Half Life 2, the first two Crysis games, Far Cry 3 and the Halo series just as much but in different ways.

3. Duke Nukem 3D
2. Bioshock
1. Half-Life 1 / Black Mesa Source

Left 4 dead, bioshock and titanfall I guess. I don't play many FPS

1. Metroid Prime
2. System Shock 2
3. Unreal Tournament 2k4

1. Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

2. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

3. Dark Forces

Omg I forgot a few of my favorite games of all time dark forces and system shock 2. I didn't count counter strike because it was a free hl1 mod when I used to play it.

1. System Shock 2
2. Half life 2 including episodes
3. COD 4

Goldeneye

Medal of Honor Allied Assault

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

/thread

This, but I'd go with Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy at #3, though I love the original Dark Forces as well.

1. Metroid Prime
2. Halo (one of the original trilogy, can't be arsed to decide which one)
3. Counter Strike

Its good to see almost all my favorites have already been mentioned.

In no particular order:

• Quake III Arena (my favorite)
• Arma series
• Quake 1/2
• Duke 3D
• Serious Sam: The second Encounter
• Doom
• Brutal Doom
• No One Lives Forever 2
• Deus EX
• Half-Life
• Battlefield 1942
• Half-Life: Blue Shift
• Half-Life 2
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R series
• Dark Forces/Jedi Knight
• Soldier of Fortune 1
• System Shock 2

I probably missed some but these are the ones that came to mind as of writing this.

I'm gonna go ahead and give you my top fifteen, because why not:

1. Half-Life 2

2. GoldenEye 007

3. Halo: Combat Evolved

4. Bioshock

5. Unreal Tournament 2004

6. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

7. Counter Strike

8. Team Fortress 2

9. Far Cry 3

10. Battlefield 2

11. Crysis

12. Left 4 Dead

13. Perfect Dark

14. TimeSplitters 2

15. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3

I exclude multiples from any given series, only naming the best from that series, and I also exclude games from which are more ambiguous in their genre classification (i.e. Deus Ex, Metroid Prime, Portal, and The Chronicles of Riddick, all of which would otherwise be quite high on this list).

So much to choose from!

Doom 2

RB6 Vegas

Halo Reach

3. No One Lives Forever 2

Awesome pick, played that game again recently and it's still fun as ****. Would love another game like that, we need more spy shooters, but not doo-doo at the shooting.

1. halo ce

2. doom

3. cod4

Halo Reach

Modern Warfare 3

Left 4 Dead 2

First three that come to mind.

Goldeneye

Halo - unbelievable single player coop.

Halo 2 - the best online multiplayer ever released. Something so great about the old Halo games, imo, are the sticky grenades. So satisfying when you turn the tides on a really really long toss.
