Word to the wise. List threads aren't looking upon favorably here. You might want to try using the search button as well.

I'd go with Half Life, but this thread is going to start a fanboy war.

Its not here to create arguements, more to provoke ideas on what people really think.
Metroid is a good series, thanks for the input

Here there be valve fanboys... ye be warned.

Metroid Prime 3 used the Wii remote... I'm not sure if there can be a better aiming system.

I gotta go with Halo.
There's at least one awesome game I can think of for most of these series but I gotta go with Halo overall. First FPS series I ever got into.

I'm a personal fan of Battlefield, but I think CoD4 and WaW put that series pretty high up on the list.

Not Half-life, because it's too easy to get lost, the puzzles are frustrating, and it's not that satisfying shooting the weapons in that game.

Not Doom. Lacks storyline / emotions.

Not Halo. No mouse. Horrible vehicle controls. Too long.

Not Quake / Unreal tournament. (Though you should add them to the poll). Because they feel more like tech demonstrations of their respective graphics engines rather than full out games.

Not Medal of Honour. (Again, need to add it to poll). Because it's "too gamey".

So, Call of duty, by process of Elimination.

*edit: I would say Portal, but that's not really a FPS, more of a puzzle game. BTW, I think Valve should ditch guns all together, and add more content to it, that would make the Half life series better.

What about TimeSplitters?

...Quake and the Unreal series also spring to mind.

as a series COD, It only got better in time. That is a good series. Halo stayed the same which is why I didnt vote for them.

Bad news mate, a rumor's been going about that Free Radical Design has shut down. Haze didn't do thoughs guys much good.

Anyway, I think I'd probley have to go with Half-Life 2, Episode 2 especially. Halo CE and Halo 3 were both great games, and CoD4 was fantastic, but HL2 is not only a great FPS, but one with a wonderfully well told story, that always leaves you guessing. There have been very few games where I am looking forward to the next one because I want to know what happens next more than the gameplay.

Am I being stupid, or is there only one Duke Nukem FPS? I really liked the games but the first two were platformers.

I vote COD.

Been playing TF2 cause I'm a big kid who likes to charge big men. But I'd class that under "Half-Life" yah?

Oh god, I totally forgot Soldier of Fortune! SOF 2 is one of my favourite games ever.
Let's just pretend Payback doesn't exist, yes?

I voted half-life mainly because hl2 was so incredible but I think halo is a close second because even though no halo is as good as HL2 imo it has maintained the highest level of quality throughout the series. feel free to disagree
