let's start a thread for the best FPS out there..past present or new games to come.. in your post put in the pros and cons of each game.

Ps.
I am trying to learn a little programming (c++ mostly) in order to make my own half life mod..if anyone knows of some good places to start looking or if you want to help out contact me.
I've read all the helps in planethalflife.

reason - just play them... i don't really have a good reason that they are my fav... they are simply fun to play.

that's just an opinion... TO and CS are good too. so is half-life and quake III arena. any other good ones that you guys know of?

can't realy say today was is was the best. everyone will think different.. but a few I played.. that I think are very good

Wolfenstein - rememebr when it came out.. at the time I coudln't play it as I had a EGA.. and it required a VGA.. but soon enough I was playing it.. and Spear of Destiny

Doom - At its time it was the best looking game I had played.. next to Wing Comander 3.. and also at the time it did have times it scared the crap out of me.

Quake - for the matter.. Quake 2 But I felt the first quake.. even though it was very drab.. was a better game then Quake 2..

Half-Life - yes so far these are very basic choices everyone woudl choose.. To me half life was a turning point for fps game..

I coudl go on naming No one lives forever for its wit.. or Shogo for its interesting approach to the fps market.. also the first use of the Lithtec engine I can think of.. and of course Deus Ex a game that pulled u into it.. but I also felt it pulled from games like System Shock. I could go down about 20 or 30 more FPS I've played.. andwhat I liked and didn't.. but it would be basic stuff.. =)

right now.. u want to know what my fav FPS game out right now is.. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.. and if I couldn't choose that.. I think the HL mod Day of Defeat 2 takes a good mention.

If u have a question about what ppl liked as for controls.. and so forth.. ask..=) so ppl will knwo what u r looking for =)

All time favorite FPS is Doom II with the ZDoomGL rendering engine, as 3D Doom under OpenGL rulez! Currently only play Unreal Tournament, awaiting UT 2003. I only use Q3A for testing, as the gaming environment just does not feel as smooth as UT.

I really like MOHAA -

before that UT and Q2.

Q1 was good - but it was Doom that got me hooked on PC's ...... I remember going into a circuit city - and they had doom on the display PC's - and I was like - I gotta have that - that began this often expensive hobby....
