As a long time FPS fan - and occasional sceptic - I thought it would be interesting with a thread where people could list their favorite games.
For hybrid games - maybe the "rule" should be that people can list them if they treated them at least partly as shooters, otherwise we could end up with a few lists that are essentially someones favorite stealth games…
My top 5 (no hybrids):
1. Duke Nukem 3D - I love the silly style and the cool level design.
2. Half-Life - the atmosphere and the interactive environments makes the game special.
3. GoldenEye - a bit dated, but still very solid and the Bond theme makes it even better.
4. Halo - co-op was very fun, and the core design is solid.
5. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect - one of the most varied FPS I've played.
Honorable mentions: Half-Life 2; Rainbow Six 3; Call of Duty 3; Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Disclaimer: The list is partly characterized by the fact I didn't play many FPS from 2005-2014 (I was kind of bored with the genre for a long while). So I'm still catching up…
I have the feeling the new Doom will enter my top 5 (I'm circa 1/3 into the game)
