I play Counter-Strike because it has a kickass story.
Ok, but honestly CS is pretty much the only FPS I play. CS:Source to be exact. Zombie mod is fun when you’re tired of regular. :wgrin:
So to get started what is your favorite fps?
My favorite FPS of all time is probably Halo 2. Aside from the every now and then modder or stanbyer, it was pretty perfect to me. The canceling of weapons made the game play really fast and I always used that too my advantage. I particularly liked messing up a teams game plan and I made it my duty to break it. One major thing I liked about it was the fact that you had a shield. This alone made it possible for one player to take on 3-4 at a time assuming you regained it.
What’s the first fps you’ve ever played? I think Goldeneye on the N64 was my first fps. I couldn’t tell if I was really good since it was only against friends and we usually messed around with the golden gun. :lol:
which fps do you hate? I think Halo 3 was a major disappointment. They practically took everything I liked about the second part and toned it down. They made it were the reloading animation (which was real slow) have to be completely finished before it registered. So, if you took on more than 1 player and didn’t let the reload finish you were pretty much over. They just could’ve done so much more with it and just got lazy and did nothing.
Right now I only play COD4 and Gears of War 2. Gears 2 is a pretty good improvement but I don’t like that they didn’t speed anything up. There are a lot of glitchers and cheaters once you reach a higher level and it needs a new patch soon.
I’m waiting for a middle ground fps between those two. Take the speed of COD4 with the graphics of Gears2 but, that’ll probably never happen. 
I’m new into FPS PC gaming as well. I recently tried out Bioshock, but honestly, I’m a complete pussy. That shit is too scary for me.
I also got into Gears of War, and enjoyed the majority of it, but in the end, it felt repetitive. I do love being able to hide and reload, though. It’s nice not to get shot in the face and being able to use your environment as a shield.
I tried COD WAW, and it was aight. It seemed pretty vanilla to me.
I really want a good single player experience to help assimilate me into being good at FPS and hopefully move into the multiplayer scene. Any suggestions?
Playing Bioshock is on my to do list. I guess you won’t be trying Dead Space any time soon. You should probably pick up COD4, the story on hardcore gets you fairly prepared for playing multi. I wouldn’t suggest Veteran, though, since you have to change the way you play just to get past a level.
Mile high club on veteran=RAPE. I remember it being a bitch to get through that shit took me like an hour straight of trying.
Anyone here play unreal2: the liandri conflict? One of my favorite multiplayer games it got no love:sad:
Single player FPS to help you get into FPS? Offhand, I’ll go with Crysis (and subsequently Crysis Warhead), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Half Life 2.
I’m not really one to play multiplayer. If I do, it’ll normally be froma game with no narrative to it (UT, QUake) so I dunno about helping you assimilate, sorry.

Wolfenstein is going to be shit.
The origional call of duty including its expansion packs.
Properly it’s probably Halo, but I did play the demo for that warhammer shooter on the ps2 before that. (Can’t remember the name think it was made by the people who made the advance wars game for the gamecube)
I hate Halo 2, not because it’s a bad game or anything (I actualy rather enjoyed it when clanmates were on for custom games), but because it seems to have fueled the popularity of matchmaking systems taking over online with the only way to get custom games being with people on your friends list or in your clan if the game supports them.
CS is the best!
did anyone go to quakecon this year? i went for the first time, had a great time. only really played on saturday though. quake live is too good.
oh if anyone went, i was the dude that got booed off the stage when they were doing the raffle 
for me… wolfenstein (the original) was the first… played counterstrike for a couple of years… still fun in moderation today
So to get started what is your favorite fps? mmm timesplitters 2
What’s the first fps you’ve ever played? wolf 3-d, doom, rise of the triads or catacombs abyss, dont remember
which fps do you love/hate/wish got more attention? timesplitters 2 for sure, game is so fun and so many different fun options and modes, same with perfect dark, i wish perfect dark zero wasnt so bad
i dont like halo 3… shit is too vanilla, it was fun when it started for a month or so, but nah not anymore
anyone here play warsow? i gave the new release another shot, and i really like it. it’s like the perfect balance between q1/q2/q3 in terms of movement/gameplay imo. it’s free, too: http://www.warsow.net
i’m up for games, if anyone else is
CS was my first FPS, then I moved on to Unreal Tournament and Quake III. Got really into CS:S, and dabbled a bit with COD4. I’d still be playing COD4, but I just can’t get over the canned death animations.
Ragdoll physics make a FPS so much more enjoyable imo. When you completely own someone with a 1 Deag or Frag, it’s so much more satisfying when you see their body go flying (relative to the force given I mean, none of that low gravity outer space bs).
I’m excited for MW2, but if it has canned death animations instead of Ragdoll I’ll be disappointed. I’ll still enjoy it, but probably not as much as CS:S. Still, the multiplayer looks really robust, and I’m looking forward to customizing my Killing Spree bonuses and checking out the new perks (if any).
Speaking of shooters, anyone play Red Faction: Guerilla? Even though it’s not an FPS, it’s pretty damn fun. The backpacks definitely make it interesting, and it looks like Volition will support it for a while, what with the 2nd DLC pack coming out that will add a bunch of multiplayer content.
I own 2 popular css servers which i never pay for because of all the donations. I win at life.
I played a few games of NeoTokyo and I like what I’ve seen so far.
Favourite fps? all time:
goldeneye
perfect dark
virtual cop
time crisis
COD4 and probably COD:MW2
Halo 1-2…3 was ok… but meh.
Battlefield: Bad company
So to get started what is your favorite fps?
CounterStrike. Anybody here played against Mustafa_the_Terrorist?
What’s the first fps you’ve ever played?
Wolfenstein. Mein leben!
Which fps do you love/hate/wish got more attention?
Love: Doom 2, Deus Ex, Quake 3
Hate: Why are FPS games so slow nowadays? Halo 3 is like molasses.
More Attention: Quake 3 was seriously overlooked. Best engine and game mechanics, balanced and challenging and lightning-fast.
It’s all about Star Wars: Battlefront. Yes, the first one! I wish more people would play on XBL.
Timesplitters 2.
Nuff said.
Timsplitter series is like the spiritual successor to golden eye 64. Can’t top that shit.
