    Wheel of Time, for having a generally fantastic feel, although the controls can be quite difficult to master. One of only two FPS games I've finished (the other was Drakan).

    Day of Defeat, for just being a plain fun multiplayer game.

    The rest are rather mediocre, I think.

    [​IMG] Namuras: How does drakan count as a FPS ?since the only time you are in FPS is when your using the bow. The rest of the time your in 3rd person. On a side note were youu rather dissapointed by the ending as both my friend and i who finished it were.

    Yeah, sorry, my bad.

    And, I was rather disappointed in the entire story. Very silly. Yet, it didn't matter since my brother bought the game, not me... :grin:

    Turandil: did you actually have anything constructive to say? or is the most construcive thing you can say as to your favourite first person shooter "Moa:aa"? Keep the meaningless comments such as "Moa:aa" to the Post for meaningless babbling... - http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001715.html

    DEUS EX BABY !!!! Nowt beats it. It's just brilliant. story line, playability. just priceless.
    My second is probably system shock 2, even though i haven't managed it all the way through yet. I mean any game that manages to scare me half to death in the first five minutes is definately worth my time. But downer is i get half the way through it and i don't know what to do. very confusing.

    I retract my former post and concur with theholygit. Deus Ex is by far my favorite, with System Shock 2 coming in as my second favorite.
    Message to theholygit: Ask me questions if you need help with SS2. I've beaten it and can provide you with tips, etc.

    No One Lives Forever. It has a great plot, a good use of the LethTech engine, it's funny and the dialogue is the best. All and all the best FPS since Half-Life

    Jedi Outcast (2), Return to Wolfenstien, Serious Sam, System Shock 2, HALO, Unreal and Red Faction on the PS2 round out my top spots, but not necessarily in that order.

    Hat's off to Soldier of Fortune, but the music became a little too severe after a while.

    Deus Ex is awesome, but admittedly complex.

    I really want to get my hands on Operation Flashpoint and Operation IGI, but haven't as of yet. Same for Voyager Elite Force.

    I also want to play the Dark Forces series in reverse since I started with Jedi Outcast, and I remember seeing DF back in the day and being wowed by it.

    I have to give a lot of credit to the Descent series, too. I condiser them FPS, close enough.

    Damn, tough one. I can't say just 1 or 2 so I'll go with

    *Tribes 1 -it's got longevity and the skilled really come out in this one, TAC is cool 2 only too many second-rate players there
    *Jedi Outcast -multiplay sucks but single.. ahh just love to be close to the force
    *Deux Ex -either incredible luck or mad skillz, this rocks
    *Aliens vs. Preds II -nice vibes, all was as it should be.. been a long time since I last was that scared :happy:

    All in this order.

    Aliens vs Predator 2: both great single and multiplayer. Marine campaign actually managed to make me tense, unlike system shock or any of the other supposedly scary games. Pred campaign is just plain fun: nothing like sneaking up on people and decapitating them. Alien is fun for a while, but there is no variety.

    multiplayer is awesome in every mode except straight deathmatch...but noone plays DM so it doesn't matter. spawn camping can be a problem on certain servers, however

    oh, and Orkrist: be sure to try operation Flashpoint before you buy it. It can be EXTREMELY difficult. 40 minute missions in which you can save ONCE. *shudders* there are ways around that, but still...

    The all classic UT, quickly followed by Alien vs. Predator and Medal of Honour. C&C Renegade is pretty funny too, Major Havoc rules.
