1. Halflife - best intro ever, best story ever, great mix of combat and "puzzles", great enemy AI (the marines flanking and flushing with grenades for ex) - great graphics at the time that still look decent today.

2. FarCry - good story, decent AI for the most part (although it is completely stupid at times), ridiculously sweet graphics.

3. Unreal Tournament - I like the wierd weapons and bot matches (since I'm not into twich games online). It's something good to play just for a little carnage. "Head Shot!"

4. I've never been a huge Doom fan except for maybe the first game which, of course, was revolutionary. I always thought the Doom games had kinda weak stories - more like just a vehicle for mass destruction. I'll likely try Doom3 though just for the eye-candy factor on the PC I built recently.

well.. I've played Halflife and I love the tactic side.

 

I've seen Far Cry and it's so nice on the graphic side. And I love to ride those little vehicule.

 

Unreal Tournament is too "unreal" for me... maybe I've had too many "Head Shot!" that I got bored before I've started having fun.

 

But Doom..... I've played Doom since the very first... I know it's "unreal" also... but the weapons are much more "realistic" than Unreal. I remember I really liked to make everyone explode with a little rocket.

 

My favorite : HALF-LIFE for his strategic play.

How about a none of the above?

My favorite FPS is Perfect Dark (whoops that's for the Nintendo 64)... er, um... Medal of Honor.

One of my coworkers thinks that I believe that drawing bullets is the most efficient way of drawing bullets. Whatever!!! :-(

Welll .... you got 4 choices... :p

I might have search all the web for ALL FPS... but it would have exceeded the 10... so I better stick with 4.

On the configuration tool I set the machine spec to high, AA to medium, screen resolution 1280x1024x32 and all the video advanced options to high.

I guess theres someting wrong with your config. I have a athlon 2600, with 500 gb of ram. It just takes a while to load, but after that it runs fine.

Im also using the Omega 2.5.51 driver.

 

Did you run 3D Mark on your machine? Whats your result?

Well... Far Cry is the only game that I didn't manage to make it work on my computer.

 

AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (2.0ghz)

512 Mb of RAM

40Go HD

nVidia MX 420 - 64Mb (aaaahhhhhhh it's considered as a 2D card on nVidia web site... I'll have to buy a new one)

resolution : 1024x768

Ahhhhh I hate Halo.

Too much bash and destroy everything in your path. I enjoy game like Half-Life, Battlefield (kinda bash but... it don't take much to die), Splinter Cell... welll you know the style.

What's up with Enemy Territory?!?!? That's the one I usually play.. was playing Counter Strike until the started with Steam - all those updates.. getting on my nerves.. so I play Enemy Territory http://xtremedotnettalk.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

halo's great, but there's something about the game, imo, that... doesnt quite make it a 'long lasting' game.. its not a game that'll be played for years such as hl, possibly becuase its more of a linear game.

hey no one plays Americas Army (www.americasarmy.com) in here? IMO its probably the most realistic FPS out of all of these (the graphics arent quite as good as farcry, but the physics, control, recoil are amazing)

I've been a doomer for 10 years, but I recently purchased UT2K4, and have gotten into that quite a bit. I don't play a lot of different games though - generally I find something good and stick with it until I find something as good or better.

None of the above. The most loved FSP i have although i have played all mentioned is Tribes 1. It is a purely multiplayer based game and the first of its kind. It is so old now that it has been made available for free download and there are still many players so join us.

Game that are missing

 

Okay... I heard a lot about "heyyy what about this FPS ????" , "no one play this game ??????"

 

I couldn't put them all.... (limited slots) so I putted the TOP 4 of mine... I missed some great one like Battlefield or Halo (before PlausiblyDamp added it) or Tribe or..... etc.... There's so many FPS game that I couldn't put them all...

 

If it's not in the 4 choice... maybe you could tell us your own top 4 ? if you had created this poll... which game will you have made availlable to vote on them ?

I hate Halo's vehicle handling. It's so sloppy.

 

I'd have to say UT, although I used to play Doom alot when it was first released. They're really showing their age now.

And of course, any of the Jedi Knight games. No realistic weapons quite compare to using a Light Sabre.

Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't!

THere are so many great examples, But they really come down to different generations of Engines. Doom was definetly the best of its time, better even than Quake, which was a bit weird in places. Halflife has definetly been a leader, and has impressively held onto the title for many years now. Looks like we're starting a new generation now with Doom 3 and Half Life 2. I honestly didn't think much of Far Cry, the graphics are nice, but the gameplay is different from anything I've played lately and I had trouble aiming and killing people...

 

While you're waiting give Call of Duty a go, the atmosphere in it is incredible.
