COD for me because the game mechanics are always excellent and it feels very smooth to play but I do enjoy the Halo franchise as well. Come to think of it there is a lot of FPS that I like.

That is because the addition of vehicles is one of the worst things that has ever happened to the genre.

You think so? I have to say I immensly enjoy driving around in tanks in BF 3 (well, I usded to before they switched armor for paper -_-). Also, the vehicles in Halo were fun even though the controls sucked.

I'd say Halo as far as playability and story, and Call of Duty based on multiplayer.

Halo for competitive team play. CoD for fun/messing around.

[Rep]

CoD just because it got me into competitive gaming.

When I play a shooter game I want to play a shooter game. Not a game that gives weak aimers a crutch to make up for their lack of skill and griefers yet another tool to piss people off with. There is very good reason why pretty much no FPS game that features vehicles has ever been used in big time cash tournaments (unless vehicles have been disabled).

Out of your list? Half-Life.

Realistically though it's Unreal Tournament or maybe Quake III Arena - They brought competetive FPS to the main stage long before CoD, Halo & the other likes.

Sure they're RPG, but they still have FPS in it.

I don't know why everyone is making a big deal about it. We're not the committee board of games or anything

I see your point about Fallout as shooting is the primary combat mechanic. Definitely a RPGFPS.

But Elder scrolls? No way, Swords, Axes, Hammers, magic, etc play as big if not a bigger roll than 'shooting' as well as the fact that the whole game can be played 3rd person....

A FPS game is a game where the primary focus is the FPS. Anything else is just a game with FPS elements.

I voted Battlefield as it's the best series on the list that i play specifically for the FPS elements.

[Smiticks]

I don't know if the intent was to allow us to vote multiple times, but I'm glad I was able to - I personally believe that Left 4 Dead, Borderlands, and Halo were all some of the greatest FPS's of all time, choosing Halo as the game that truly revolutionized multiplayer gaming. At least in my world. It blew my mind 8 years ago...

[SpectreSoldier]

I really love the battlefield series and L4D series.

[Scrummy64]

I voted for Halo, Call of Duty, BioShock, Half-Life, and Fallout/Elder Scrolls... and 'other', of course; does Portal count as an FPS?? :P
Oh, and Deus Ex would be up there for me as well; Human Revolution is great stuff

[HellspawnRei]

Doom
And all the new gamers should play it.
Dont judge it for its graphics,forget them and just enjoy the best FPS ever made.

I just remember liking the newest medal of honor a lot.
