|  | All Time Top 10 FPS?

Posted by underworldfan [172.198.163.123] on 2003/04/29 12:45:44

Here is a simple idea which could be interesting:
List your Top ten favorite FPS games of All time. Based on both SP and/or DM gameplay.
My list:
1.Quake
2.Doom
3.Quake 3 Arena
4.Duke Nukem 3d
5.Sin
6.Quake 2
7.Half-Life
8.Unreal Tournament
9.Unreal
10.Hexen
You can tell 1 thing from my list:
I dont care much for "realistic" FPS. Although for some reason i did like "Sin".

Bah

there has not been 10 games good enough to be listed...
1. quake1
2. metroid prime
3. deus ex
4. halo
5. half-life
6. unreal
Hmm

I`d contest that Metroid Prime is in fact an FPS (in the `shooter` sense of the word anyway)

what?! have you even played the game?
You shoot.
In first person.
ergo;
it is a FPS.

1. Quake (the best)
2. Quake 3 Arena (+ CPMA :P)
3. Doom2 (new guns and monsters added a lot to the game)
4. Doom
5. Half-life (It was a great innovation to FPS, but it has been the cause of FPS being boring nowadays IMO)
6. Wolf3d (for its stupid final bosses :)
7. Serious Sam (Coop rocks)
Im searching for deus ex right now, I havent played it yet.
Hmm
#5 posted by nonentity [62.189.9.170] on 2003/04/29 14:05:16
1. Quake 2
2. Half Life
3. Golden Eye
4. Unreal
5. Quake 1
6. Unreal Tournament
7. Deus Ex (Yes, I`m aware my previous post works for this too, shut up).
8. Time Splitters 2
9. Elite Force
10. Daikatana/Duke Nukem 3D (Kinda equal worth in my mind)
Hmm
#6 posted by nonentity [62.189.9.170] on 2003/04/29 14:06:38
Yes, but it`s not a shooter game in the purest sense, given that you merely press lock on and then fire for the shooting bits (look, I was just being pedantic, fuck off).

#7 posted by H-Hour [12.252.47.32] on 2003/04/29 14:59:29
I havent played too many FPS games, so my list will be short.
1. Ghost Recon (I like realism)
2. Halo
3. Quake 1
11. UT (good, but not top-10 good)
Odd, I didnt even include the only game I mapped for.
Uhohhh...

nuff said.
Honestly, I don't understand the fascination with sorting things into top 10 lists. Half the time people will post immediately after and say "Whoa I forgot XYZ!! But I had ten on my list, so what do I do?!" This just emphasizes the point that you can't really create a good top 10 list, since people change their minds immediately afterward.
It Goes To 11
#10 posted by spentron [66.33.195.194] on 2003/04/29 15:57:26
1 Quake
2 Quake 3 Arena
3 Cube
4 Duke 3D
5 Half-Life
6 Alien vs. Predator (1)
7 Quake 2
8 Unreal
9 DooM
10 UT
11 Alien vs. Predator (Jaguar)
And yes Cube is there because I really like it that much. May be giving it a slight nudge since it`s "short" although this is offset by easy creation. Note, qmap oldtimers, 8 months ago it would have been #11.
Jury`s still out on Serious Sam and maybe I`ll try full Undying and Alice and maybe Elite Force or WOT. Based on demos, it`s unlikely I`ll be trying more NOLFs, SysShocks, Thiefs, or Deus Ex. I`m not sure Descent counts, and I know FP robot games don`t.

There is only a few that I have enjoyed enough to bother mentioning.
1. Quake (multiplayer)
2. Doom (single player)
3. CPMA (based on Quake III engine)
4. UT and UT2003 (fun with bots)
5. Day of Defeat (!)
Despite the fact that I despise realistic war simulators on principle, I was dragged into DoD because it is the game everyone plays on the office lan. I hated it with a passion at first, but I have grown to love it over time. It can be fun on lan with 20 people in the game.
Elite force is also worth a mention as one of the few single player FPS games that I enjoyed enough to actually finish.
Hehe
#31 posted by Nakasuhito [12.255.12.18] on 2003/05/03 06:43:40
Yeah, Elite Force was fun as hell...how could i forget about it?!

#33 posted by inertia [24.164.72.38] on 2003/05/05 13:19:16
but I haven't seen much mention of Half Life on here. It would definantly be in my top 5, if only because of the extraordinary singleplayer campaign; and so would CounterStrike (yes everyone is 13 years old and hax, but I have had some tremendously fun times with my friends in that game). Wolfenstein 3D (the original of course) is also what got me into fps games, and doom2 after that.
Then, of course, quake.
And it was all over.
Half-Life
#34 posted by H-Hour [12.252.47.32] on 2003/05/06 00:29:21
Im not here to knock half-life, as I never played much of it, but I wondered if anyone else found it as hard as I did? I downloaded the demo and even on easy mode I could not pass a single room without dying multiple times. It took me forever just to beat the demo and the gameplay was so ridiculously frustrating to me I never even thought about picking up the actual game. Did anyone else find it so hard?

#35 posted by nitin [61.9.128.171] on 2003/05/06 00:37:59
it`s hard if you go in guns blazing when the marines are there, you can sort of get away with it against the aliens. Other than that, after a few minor adjustments, it`s reasonable on medium. I`m not a great FPS player but I`ve played tougher games.
Basically, cover is very important as are grenades for the mp40 and remember that the alt fire on the shotgun is your friend.

#36 posted by Abyss [203.51.223.74] on 2003/05/06 03:07:01
I never found that with Half Life. But what nitin says is true. Some real good stuff in there that you have missed out on. It's still not to late ;)
And Don't Forget
#37 posted by Kell [82.41.48.30] on 2003/05/06 15:01:34
the alternative fire for the gauss gun - I kicked myself when I found that; so many missed opportunities :) Now when I pick up a new weapon in a game, I always check the alt fire.
Half-Life provided some satisfying multi-gib sequences, but only after you had applied observation and deduction. All the clues were there in the maps, but you had to pay attention.
Don't start playing on hard skill ( actually I think that goes for any FPS )
The AR grenades got me through some seriously unpleasant SP situations...
And jumping puzzles that dump you to the bottom of a low-g intestinal tract are just plain boring. Hrmph.
I Recently Played Through HL Again...
#38 posted by starbuck [80.192.126.111] on 2003/05/06 15:59:24
and i was pleasantly surprised. The graphics had dated somewhat of course, but it seemed pretty atmospheric, and I found it a lot of fun, all in all. Weapons are very satisfying, and the gradual increase in firepower makes it all the more enjoyable (no weapon, to crowbar, to pistol, to....gluon gun!), personal favorites being the shotgun and magnum.
Scripted sequences are not overdone, and AI is never depressingly poor, which is a bonus. However, I felt the game hit its peak around the time you meet the marines, and it goes downhill from there.
You think you`re having a shit time on the jumpy puzzle with the stupid floaty teleport balls of infinite crapitude, but then you go to Xen. It had potential I admit, and a change in scenery seems like a good idea, but in the end i really hated it and ended up skipping sections. The end boss was fairly good, as they go, despite appearing to be a lardass embryo with cerebal palsy...and the end? I`m not sure if its a good ending, maybe the sequel will make it seem better, as the story progresses. So it was a little unsatisfying at the end, but mainly great to play, and it left me very excited about HL2.

I think a lot of us, once we've got used to the 3rd person feel, count 3PS games as FPS games as some of the more prominent ones are so similar in ethos and vibe even if the POV is set back a few yards....

Games that totally hooked me and ones that made me want to play many user made maps (in the order of encounter):
Wolf3D and Spear of Destiny
DooM 1&2
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake
Quake 2
Unreal and Return to NaPali
Half-Life and Opposing Force
Games that I liked but when I finished, that was it (IOW, haven't sought out user maps):
HeXeN 1 & 2 and Portal of Preavus
Heretic
Blood and Crypic Passage (really good settings and fun when it didn't get too hard)
RtCW (too bad there's no SP mission pack)
Medal of Honour and Spearhead (techically excellent but too many times the scripted sequences forced you to move at the game designer's pace and not at my usual slow one)
Red Faction (I cheated to kill the boss because I found it impossible at this point - it had silliness built in but was actually a fun game)
Games that I wanted to finish but crashed or never ran (commercial CD's here - no blue copies or cracks)
Heretic 2 (too bad really)
Sin (I still want to play it)
Daikatana (crashes in the prison)
Games that I thoroughly enjoyed and wished they could continue on:
System Shock 2 (really slow gameplay but very interesting and rewarding)
Wheel of Time (excellent settings and gameplay)
Undying (best horror game ever, IMHO)
Deus Ex (by allowing flexibility, it really personalized the experience playing it. story and settings were interesting - NPCs were the most human yet)
Games that made me laugh and/or puke at thier absolute horridness (I only lasted minutes before bailing out):
Witchaven I & II (actually I think WHII opens with a very nicely made and long running animated sequence with opening credits before dumping you into grade 5 graphics)
Tekwar (with William Shatner having hissy fits)
Corridor 9
Games that I'm hoping will keep me going:
Half-Life 2
DooM 3
Deus-Ex 2

...but can you explain if there's any way to get more control over the fighting in Enclave, other than wildly button mashing and hoping you're quicker than the enemy. I.e. is there any combination of movement and attacks that actually does something??
I know, I know, but I will keep asking until I get a satisfactory answer one way or the other...sorry.

There's a US version of NME, called Blender. Recently they've been a topic of discussion because of their '50 worst music acts of all time' article. Its educational stuff... I never realised that The Doors were the 37th worst band ever!
The article is here:

Now that's shitty journalism, although even this pales in front of the altar of retardedness that is NME

SP: System Shock, Half-Life, Quake, Sin.
System Shock is probably the most under-rated game of all time. Atmosphereic, and scary as hell! Gameplay was sometimes limited by the interface due to its complexity. But after a while I came to beleive this was a deliberate design, to regulate when you could do certain things. I got this game after playing Half-Life a million times, and was "shocked" to find it beter in almost every way. This is also I think the first FPS type game that offered a multi-player co-op form of SP. Up to four people could work together to finish the SP game, very cool IMO.
Half-Life was hard at first for me but it has a different playstyle/mindset than quake. I remember geting frustrated as hell at some of the puzzles, simplistic as many are they took skill and practice to get right. At the time Half-Life was the scariest game I had ever played. It had atmosphere, and great gameplay, both in SP and MP. It is in my top five all time greatest games.
Quake is in my mind what started the FPS adiction for me. I had played other games, (Duke3D, Wolfy, some others) but Quake really sucked me into the genre. Dark, scary, fast as hell gameplay, it made for a real adrenaline rush.
Sin in my mind was also rather underrated, when it came out. Sure it was buggy as hell, but it didnt take long for 2015 and ritual to get things straight. Once it was patched it had gameplay elements that (for me at least) had never been experienced before. It lacked any sort of creepy element, and didnt have much of a MP experience. But it was still an enjoyable game and still is.
MP I have to break down into two types DM and Team Play, as these are two distinct MP elements.
DM: Quake...hands down this is really the only DM I come back to. I tried q2/3, Sin, Unreal/T, Half-Life, and a bunch of others. NOTHING compares in DM. Even in the team play modes I list below the game play in the quake versions is best.
Team: QWTF (no not the silly Mege-TF), Q3F, TFC, CTF (Zoid style)
Now I know my first three picks are more or less the same game on the surface, but thats just the surface. They all have totaly different playstyles in practice. QWTF is by far the fastest most brutal of the three, Q3F is second, and TFC is like a rest home compared to the other two. Hands down QWTF is the most fun to be had in a team oriented MP mod...at least to me.
CTF Zoid style I didnt try this until 2000-01, but it was worth the wait. If I cant find a TF server Ill set up some CTF-bots and go to town 3 wave style.
Bah

No.1 Teamplay MP game is Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory without any doubt!
It blows everything away with a special ops detpack! And its the first team based MP game I've played where team mates actually help each other out 100% of the time!
I've seen medics with hardly any health leap into a room full of enemies to revive an injured team-mate, I've seen soldiers take bullets for another member of the team because he was carrying a critical item, etc. I've never seen this level of team spirit in any game before, and it makes it so much fun to play.
So go download it CardO & Shambler! :D

sounds like another fortress knock-off. Id say its not the mod really but the "people" your playing with. Good team-mates can make almost any mod a real pleasure.

Quake and Quake II aside, my all time favorite game would have to be Dues Ex. Whenever I even hear the name, or see the name in print, endorphines consume my brain and put me in a better world where even though plaques consume us, a world government rules us, and AI's plot against us,they somehow got rid of all the cynical, sarcastic flamer types that infest this world like gnats in the murk.

I'm a Q1/DN3D/Q3A guy, but I reckon Tomb Raider Legend http://tombraider.com/legend may be the best game i've ever played. IMHO it's easily the best TR.
Don't know where to begin but the models and maps are stand-out. Lara's outfits are classy and sexy. Check out the goth model here http://img518.imageshack.us/img518...
Does have a few tricky puzzles, so kill-and-run
gamers mightn't like it... The only real downer is that cheats are only enabled *after* the game is completed - so you have to find some one else's game saves from the web in this case.

"FPS" stands for "First Person Shooter" so if the game is third-person, it can't be an FPS.
Oh Crap.

honestly, what´s so great about this game ? There are some good ideas like the Pawn-O-Matic, but:
-levels are really really small, I guess because of the sucky AI which couldn´t handle larger maps
-the weapons are unusable (realism lol)
-the sidekicks are stupid and annoying as hell, standing in your way half of the time
-in "real" mode (...) I´ve never seen more annoying cheating bots, no matter how one sneaks up on them, they nail you one millisecond after you fire, and kill you with one shot while you need to unload half your ammo to kill them.
But the swearing is kewl, yo.

Doom and Quake go without saying, but after they fired most of thier designers the games took a turn for the worse.
I'd much prefer to play Quake I than any of the others and I didn't like Doom3 at all; cheesy gameplay, tedious repitition of actions and not what we were expecting after playing the beta - which was incredible.
