As I've gotten older, I've largely moved away from all genres except for competitive MP titles. Gears 3 is probably my favorite competitive MP of all time, but more and more I've changed focus to solely playing FPS (Gears 4 was possibly my biggest gaming disappointment ever). So here's my top 5. What's yours?

Honorable Mention: COD4. Whereas GRAW 2 laid the foundation for me becoming interested and then addicted to competitive MP, COD4 changed everything about how Interact with the hobby.

5. Modern Warfare 2: mostly because of the crew I played with. Also some great kill streaks
4. Black Ops 1: still my favorite killstreaks. Two words: Chopper Gunner. The commando is still in my top 5 gaming weapons ever.
3. Battlefield 4: the map variety, weapons and vehicles are the pinnacle of the BF series, imo. I was one of the best boat drivers there was.
2. Black Ops 3: many cod vets were putoff by the future setting, but the movement, specialists, maps and Treyarch's incredible talent made this the best COD to date. Crate system sucked butt though
1. Battlefield 1: game gets hate forn no reason. It's an incredibly well balances game with a great variety of weapons. Add in the codex, the improvements DICE has put in over time and that every map pack has been superb and this is as good as it gets. I've played almost nothing else for most of the last two years.
 
SOCOM 2-my all time favorite MP game

Medal of Honor Allied Assault-just a lot of fun and good controls and lots of mods
R6 siege- tactical fun
Halo 2 or 3 can't remember which- great time playing with my roommates
COD modern warfare- got all the golden guns

Not a big fan of the genre.

Rainbow Six Vegas
GoldenEye
Halo
Battlefield 3
Halo 3
 
^Console plebs : )

Multiplayer wise its CS and Quake. Single player its the franchises of Half Life, Doom, and Bioshock.
 
COD4 Modern War Fare (PC) (1) - Absolute game changer for COD. It was f'n amazing and had one of the best mod/custom server communities I've ever seen.

DOOM (PC) - The first game I really got into for FPS. Wolfenstien was more of a short demo of what's possible, but Doom took it to another level. Just a classic. I actually did a little custom map making for it back in the day. I remember someone created a custom level that copied the Aliens scene where Ripley takes the elevator down to rescue Newt. Including music, sound effects, ambient noise... it was awesome and gave me goosebumps.

Golden Eye (N64) - I don't know of a better couch co-op game. Maybe it was just timing, but we had blast playing this one.

Duke Nukem (PC) - My first online game (over dial-up... lol). Just an over-all fun game. Duke Nukem was when I found out I was below average on online FPS games.

Halo 2 - Played the shit out of this with brother. Amazing graphics upgrade from previous titles and still holds up today.
 
MW2
Insurgency
Doom
Cod WAW

But I tend to enjoy a sub genre of FPS' like deus ex, bioshock etc more than just straight up fps. More RPG than shooter but still shooters.
 
OP how can you fill your list entirely with COD and Battlefield?

I'm making my list based on the impact it had on me and the genre at the time:

  • Goldeneye - first great console FPS (Perfect Dark was superior in every way though)
  • Half-Life - took FPS games to another level and great storytelling
  • Halo - took console games to another level that competed with PC's and brought great multiplayer to the consoles
  • Bioshock - great atmosphere and storytelling
  • COD4:Modern Warfare - fun game and fantastic multiplayer - all the COD's since have just felt like reskins to me
Honorable mentions: Rainbow Six Vegas, Gears of War, Quake 2, Doom, Counterstrike
 
Looks like most of you only started playing FPS games recently. All COD and BF seriously?

Anyawys

1. Half Life 2
2. FEAR - The AI was amazing in this game. Literally had an AI character see me from one corner of a cargo container and then circle back around to come up behind me was fucking unreal. Still haven't seen anything like that.
3. Prey (the original one)
4. COD 2
5. Medal of Honor
 
1. Operation Flashpoint
2. Deus Ex
3. Half Life
