Wolfenstien was my first, but doom/2 really got me addicted to fps’
some of my all time faves:
-deus ex (so much more than a fps)
-unreal tournament (hardcore fraging goodness)
-duke nukem (I thought this game was the coolest shit ever when it came out)
-half-life (all the mods!!! CS, Fire Arms, DoD, etc.)
-call of duty 4 (rebirth of the online fps… for me atleast)
The only FPS’s that get regular play by me are Day of Defeat, Unreal Tournament in whatever flavor is the most current because I don’t really care about detailed mechanics in FPS’s like I do in fighters, and some Counterstrike. I do not like the source versions of CS or DoD. Really, though, Day of Defeat is the only FPS that has me jonesin’ to get some good 'ole head-shot’liscious action in. :tup:
So to get started what is your favorite fps? CS 1.5
What’s the first fps you’ve ever played? Wolfenstein 3D
which fps do you love/hate/wish got more attention? skulltag:pray:
Not a single mention of Blood? That game was awesome. Sort of Duke Nukem minus sci-fi plus horror.
Wolf3D was probably my first FPS but DOOM is what really hooked me. Did a lot of DOOM/DOOM II playing back in the day. Duke Nukem 3D was of course awesome, and as I mentioned, Blood.
Quake was the fucking shit. I didn’t get much into Quake 2, I wish the Quake series had stuck with the slipgate theme instead of the Strogg bullshit. Got into Q3A a little late into the game. Never cared much for Unreal, but played it here and there.
I never really liked FPS games but of course the first one I ever played was doom on the snes. I really got addicted to the unreal tournament series for a while though and became pretty good at it too as I usually suck bad in FPS games. Played a bit of COD4 too , I enjoyed it but never could get good at it. Right now I’m playing Team Fortress 2, despite my lack of interest in FPS games I got to say that this one is pretty damn amazing and been playing it everyday for like 1 week now.
I used to play the shit out of Shogo, Septerra Core, and Descent: Freespace. Septerra Core is still the only RPG I’ve ever beaten. In any case, I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work.
Aww fuck, almost forgot! Heretic! Hexen was fun shit too but I always got stuck on one of the levels I think.
Edit: Everyone in here is getting FPS Love rep.
First FPS: Wolfenstein 3d
The game that got me hooked in the genre: TFC and CS beta 3.0
Some of my all time favorite FPS games would have to be UT 2004, Weapons Factory Arena (Quake 3 mod), Firearms (HL mod), Battlefield 2 before the expansions, Tribes 2
Game that could use more lovin’: System Shock 2
Games that should have been good but sucked: Tribes 3 and UT3
my favorite? i would say the ones i’ve had the most fun with are quake2, quake3 and return to castle wolfenstein (rtcw) multiplayer.
and i wish rtcw would’ve gotten more attention. the MP on that game was too good, but i guess it wasn’t very easy to get into (need to learn classes, maps, you completely depend on your team, etc) and so it never had a huge fanbase.
it’s a shame not too many people have mentioned quake3. i agree with the other poster that said that it’s the best fps ever. physics, balance, it has everything. just check out the first few minutes of this video. physics are not modified btw. quake3 is too good.
UT (the original) is the last FPS i played seriously. Oh, and the first Jedi Knight. I play a little Halo, but don’t own a system to play it on. My skills with a mouse are toilet level now.
