Please recommend an excellent FPS

Hello all,

I am looking for an excellent FPS with a long champaign. I don't have any interest in multi player gaming.
The last game I played with a long and enjoyable campaign was Far Cry. Far cry 2 isn't a patch on the first one. I also played Crysis which was very good but rather short. Does anyone know of a game similar to Half Life 2?
Anyway, if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and follow on games are long single player games. Although they are more open world/RPG style than HL2. Less strict guided narrative but still with a strong back story and overall objective/goal you are working towards.

I would second Arris's suggestion. STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl is a very immersive game (as are the prequel "Clear Sky" and sequel "Call of Pripyat"). I'd suggest a play through of the vanilla game with Artistpavel's "Complete" mod.

If you're looking for a real challenge I would suggest you give the Narodnaya Solijanka mod a try (although you should play through the vanilla game first). I've played through virtually every iteration of the game- including the vanilla game many times- NS still required 500+ hours over 6+ months to fully complete gameplay.

Thanks guys,
Thought no one would bite! I have the two Stalker games. I only played the first one for a few minutes. Must give it a go over Christmas.

Cheers

Assassin's Creed is supposed to be amazing if you are more into the strategy type than the all out shoot em up!

battlefield 3

i would like to try the new COD or BF
also that one new raiwbow six

Deus Ex 1 (you can get high def texture packs for it) or 3 (Human Revolution)

If you like a bit of rpg thrown in I would suggest Mass Effect, The first was decidedly the best, it is also the longest (so far) in the second they kinda ruined the lore by adding "ammo"

Yeah both I think are worth spending the time on. The combat is a bit console style but overall very good.

Deus EX: HR. The campaign can last about 25 hours. I, personally, put in over a 100. Just couldn't stop playing. There are very different ways you can take the game each playthrough.

120 is excellent! 60 is optimal....


j/k. I fully recommend Half Life 3... oh wait....

In all seriousness, I've found my favorite fps in a single player situation to be Portal, HL2, STALKER (though I couldn't get "into" it I did play it some and found it fun), and Mass Effect.

I would say Dead Island. Its not exactly a full on FPS but definitely a great story line. I wouldnt say its very long but it is rather long, have a look!

More an RPG/FPS than a straight FPS, but I've had loads of fun playing Borderlands, and can't wait for the second one!

Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2!

Portal and portal 2 are definitely worth a look, as well as all 3 mass effect games if you don't mind TPS.

I'm going to suggest Arma II and Arma II Operation Arrowhead. It's a reality-based game, though, and -- judging by the games you say you've enjoyed -- that may be one of the cons for you. Also, to get the most of the game, you'll have to be willing to invest some real effort on the editor. It's an acquired taste.

You can create your own campaigns with the editor -- everything from the storyline, to the music, the maps, the scenarios, down to the weapons and the amount of ammo each AI or player carries. It's a DX9 game, but the graphics can at times be so good for you'd think you're watching combat footage from the news. I think there's a free version out now -- not sure as to what the limitations of that version are, though.

im sorry but battlefield 3 was one of the worse single player campaigns i have ever played, if you want a really long one (and the best of every FPS) play the original unreal tournament game
