What would be your ten favourite FPSes?

Not necessarily in this order but here goes...

-Doom 1 & 2
-Half-Life 1 & 2
-Deus Ex & Deus Ex Invisible War
-Fallout NV(Would of said 3, but the iron sights sold NV for me)
-Duke Nukem 3D
-Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
-Bioshock

Too many I can think of to try and limit a list to 10. Off the top of my head though, I'll say these.

 

I wouldn't classify the Deus Ex games as an FPS, they had more RPG elements than FPS elements. Shooting a gun from a first person perspective doesn't classify a game as an FPS on it's own.

Fallout NV was awful compared to Fallout 3 in terms of story and immersion; sure, it had iron sights, but that wasn't enough to make the game more compelling. If all you care about is shooting stuff in a Fallout game, then NV is the way to go, but the story is pretty bland.

 

Curious, what else is needed for you to count it as a FPS? As that is pretty much what I instantly call a FPS.

Also...

1. Half-life
2. Doom 2
3. Half-life 2
4. Halo
5. Duke Nukem 3D
6. Team-Fortress Classic
7. Quake 2
8. Blood
9. Halo 3
10. Medal Of Honor : Frontline (ps2) - That opening D-day level alone get's it on this list.

Mind is foggy of FPSs!

 

People seem to be using a weird definition of FPS here. I mean, Fallout 3? Portal?

 

You wouldn't count Portal? Id call it a FPS Puzzle game myself.

 

You don't shoot anything except portals, to me an FPS would actually be action-oriented, while Portal is a puzzle game that happens to be first person.

 

In no particular order:
Armed and Dangerous
Doom 1-2
Halo 1-2
Quake
Duke Nukem 3D
Castle Wolfenstein
Unreal series
TF2
