Great, a poll for the best FPS ever and HALF-LIFE isn't even an option?? Dude, go play HL first, then carry out this poll. that, IMHO, is the best FPS ever. but still, it was with wolf3d(92) that it all began, doom(93) was what brought it to life and then, half-life ( 98 ) redefined it.

It would be a Tie Between Quake 3:Arena and Unreal Tournament as these were the 2 of the best dam FPS's for me *PERIOD*

@escape.....That was a Typo from Calcatian.What he actually meant to say was "And what about SOF".

I loved Soldier of Fortune 1.
it was just awesome. had allthe good effects that a first person shooter game should have. the 1st level was really interesting.but later it got monotonous

Dude.... there's no half life and call of duty.... but outta these i think quake is the best fps

Doom ------ not any other game !!
i believe it started the true FPS genre
Its very easy to vote for new games as they have the best graphics and new engines and fetures but we should acknowledge the ones that came the first and were successful then.

what a silly thread!

each of these games caused a revolution when they came out. you can't compare them with each other.

how can Wolf 3D (DOS) be compared with Halo (hardware accelerated textures and lighting)?!

In one place u r telling that "Max paypane is the best FPS game", in another place u r admitting that "this thread does not include max payne". Isnt it contradictory??? Can not u understand why this thread does not include Max payne? Max Payene is not a FPS game. Its a TPS.

Oh no, not again! Max Payne is a Third Person Shooter!!! We are discussing the best First Person Shooter. What's so difficult about it?

Members, please read the full thread before posting anything. We have already corrected quite a number of posts which claimed Max payne as FPS.

And most of all, try to understand different genres of games....

Cheers !!
