:sniper: :ar15: I'm probably going to buy a FPS soon, and am looking for suggestions as to what one to get. Right now i have my eye on halflife 2. Requirements are not an issue.

Doom 3 and ever interesting Painkiller :D Has somebody played Painkiller here? The game is quite slaughter, even though that it's brainless it still gets you into the killing spree mood. Action and fun are guaranteed :rockon:

Free ones: Americas Army http://www.americasarmy.com/. Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory (downloadable almost anywhere you can find AA). These are fun and free FPSs, they take a while to download though. In ET there is a lot of ingame loading, and there is also a map editor for ET. My username is AK47 in ET. America's Army is fun, it is also very realistic. You go through training and try to complete realistic goals in online missions. Both games are online, although you can complete the training in AA offline.

Games you buy.... BF2!!!!!!!!!

I liked the medal of honour series, the earlier ones are also probably fairly cheap by now.

Half-Life 2 is a great game, and I can definately recommend it. Stunning graphics and a great physics system. It is a bit short, though.
If you seek a truly epic game, go for the old Deus Ex. Should be purchaseable for very little these days.

Call of Duty +COD: United Offensie. Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is fun too. Ok, these are the only FPS games I have and have played.
Unless you count running around Morrowind killing everyone with a bow and arrows.

OK thanks for the suggestions guys.

Empkillyouall, when you say BF2 do you mean StarWArs BattleFront 2 or BattleField 2?

Half Life 2, the Call of Duty games and Battlefield 2 are pretty much the only FPS games I like. So I recommend them!

Halo. Great game overall.

Both Half-life games are great (even HL1 though it's 6 years old).
Max Payne games are great too especially the story (well they are TPS games but the difference between those genres is minimal).
I've also played demos of Far Cry and Unreal Tournament 2004 and they seem to be good games.

Ya, I've seen someone playing MaxPayne before it looked cool.

Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam are both great. Battlefield 2 is probably equally awesome but my comp won't run it. :(

I don't like Battlefield Vietnam, seems like they didn't work as hard as they did on BF1942.

BF2 or CSS. CSS maybe isn't as good, but you get more satisfaction when you own people, generally with accusations of hacking etc.

BF1942 was good when it was new-ish, but it seems dated now, and the amount/quality of people playing it has fallen drastically.

Half-Life 2 or F.E.A.R. You can't go wrong with either.

I like Halo

Battlefield 2. I dont have it, but it is supposed to be amazing...

Half-Life 2 or F.E.A.R. You can't go wrong with either.

Add to that list Doom 3 + Farcry and you pretty much got it covered.

I like Halo

Imperfection.

Thanks for the advice guys

Get Halo!
10 Characters.

Battlefield 2. They've already released a expansion to that and will release 2 "booster packs" with additional maps and weapons. There are already many mods in the works so the game probably will last.

Check out this trailer from the map Daqing Oilfields. This isn't very exaggerated at all (although not all maps looks as good as this one). My favourite part is hummer tries to escape from the chopper.

I'm partial to the Call of Duty games.

I like Halo, once I get a high enough score, I TK like crazy!!!!

Cool. Thanks for responding. I'm wondering if anyone has ever played the game counterstrike for PC. It was my favorite game a few years ago.

Heh. What you might or might not know is that counterstrike is a mod for halflife. That game (and it's sequel) was mentioned in this thread several times.

Anyway, if you like that you should probably get counter strike: source. Personally I like battlefield2 better. I recently got the special forces expansion. Nice, teargas :)

If you want a game that will have you sitting up at 2.30 am afraid of going to the bathroom cause you just neeeeed to know whats gonna happen next, you cant go wrong with F.E.A.R

Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Ya, Someone was saying that Counterstrike is a mod for half life 1. Anyway is there a difference between original counterstrike and counterstrike source? If so, what?

CS Source looks better, the maps are slightly changed and the game physics is slightly changed. Essentialy the same though, but better.

Real Life, get a gun, go on a shooting spree, With 4! possiable endings! Get killed, kill yourself or go to jail or deathrow.

Only kiding.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I live in Canadaso it's hard to get guns...

The first Perfect Dark (for Nintendo 64) was probably the best. All the weapons were fun like the laptop gun and also who doesn't like playing as an alien named elvis that wears a vest that has the american flag on it? Second, would have to be Timesplitters 3. The harpoon gun frickin' rocks and the endless choices of characters to choose from makes for endless fun.

Perfect Dark was awesome.

Fly-by-wire Slayer (?) = pure, naked evil!

It's NOT hard to get guns in Canada, atleast in the cities apparently it's relatively easy to get guns illegaly.

Ah yes Perfect Dark, i loved Elvis, he was great!

"Ah, i got a headache, and with a head this big thats no joke!"

Amazing
Far Cry
Doom 3 (need good monitor that's not dark to enjoy)
Half-Life 2

Good
F.E.A.R.
Call of Duty 1 & 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Half-Life

I had Perfect Dark, but no N64 Expansion thing, so al I could do is play against sims.

Aww, too bad the multiplayer was totally awesome! Also, thanks trooper I was trying to remember the name of that weapon. However, it sucks one of my N64 memory cards got corrupted and I lost all my* memory of the game:cry:!

*I still can play the game it is just the other saves still recognized are way far behind mine (I beat the game and got all the weapons and characters).

I never saw the expansion anywhere.

The only FPS i really enjoy is Quake2. Awesome multiplayer gameplay, great graphics and it's not expensive either. :)

Operation Flashpoint. It's also the best RTS and vehicle/flight sim ever.

The only FPSs I enjoy a lot are the two Jedi Knight games, particularly the first one (Jedi Outcast), and the games Deus Ex and System Shock 2.
