Here is a poll on the greatest FPS game ever. Please don't gripe about the ones I missed.

How come I have 101 views and only 15 votes!

From my point of view Battlefield has hit just the spot!! Perfect graficks, great movement and lit sof possibilities. So realystic and still fun for more then 1 hour (not like CS)

1 vote for Battlefield!!

Voted for Quakes, great storyline, gameplay, monsters, graphics. .

To me, "newest / latest" does not equal greatness.

My favourite three are Delta Force 2, Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004.

Unfortunately most UT Internet multiplayer servers seem to be "as fast as possible, low gravity, and insta-gib" matches.

Quake III was too fast for me, but the original Quake in multiplayer was fun (could still be if I could find players).

This is what a multiplayer FPS should be:

No games capture the atmosphere better than the Quake series IMO.
Sound is as important as gameplay. Call of Duty has an awesome music score as well. My advice, don't skimp on the sound system or you're missing half the game.

For me i like the single player games with great storylines, gameplay, and polish. Halo xbox was a great experience but I just can't give an fps win to a game with console controls. I never played the pc version so I can't rate that. The whole Half Life series is great, but HL2 was almost perfect if you take away the long buggy rides and somewhat abrupt ending. The levels were the best yet for any fps. I'm addicted still to multiplayer deathmatch, so it has legs.

Hmm, this is really though, cause some of these games
have excellent SP, yet they fall short in MP compared to others
and the other way around.

I can't really decide because of that.

Almost every single one of them is a revolution of its own... so hard to choose.
But as you're clearly comparing games offering SP and MP (some a lot more of MP than SP, and the other way around as I said), the fairest thing to do is select the one which manages to balance - an excellent SP campaign coupled with an addictive MP (mods do not count!).

In this case COD wins hands down for me, not the best SP from all these , not best MP also, however, both SP and MP rock in COD, and managing to make a game that combines these two so sucessfully is really amazing so to speak. I know I loved the SP campaign, and when I started playing it online, it just got better - I dont know any other game where I got the same experience.

The dream FPS game would be one that combines the level design of Half-Life 2 and the enemy A.I. of F.E.A.R.

RETURN TO CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN!!!! The game that that got me into gaming.

Original Half-Life was the first FPS that dragged me into gaming as a result of it's STORY LINE. Nothing has come close since then... well, maybe the Thief series.

COD would have to be my favorite. ive spent hours playing it. even with a bad graphics card i still love the game. theres realy nothing else like it

wheres halo 2 and PDZ,

anyways Halo 2 without a doubt is the best FPS (online) ever

Sorry, i cant vote, Doom II dosen't seem to be on the poll!!!!

Mictlantecuhtli, I might just take up that offer of playing Quake with you one day, just tell me a good sourceport, gimme yur email, and were good to go.

The entire Quake series (even 4)
UT2K4
F.E.A.R. - probably not in this order

I notice that Far Cry got no vote so far. I didn't particularly care for the game, but I expect there would be at least one fan.

I just got F.E.A.R. from my wife as a Christmas gift. It has a wicked A.I. I think it should be on the list, especially if Doom 3 is on the list.

wow how is fear not on that list. i havent played it but its like one of the top games of the year.

only fps i really ever liked

golden eye 007
perfect dark
soldier of fortune 2
cod, uo and the sequal
halo

OK, I'm sorry I didn't put FEAR on the list, but I can't change it now.

The problem with this poll is it's range - I dont know how many
people played all games on this list (including every part of e.g. UT or Q series).

I did play them all, but I wonder if all the people who voted played them all. Kind of a problem if you're voting and havent played all of the given choices...

Second problem I mentioned earlier is - although all of these games have SP and MP, in some games the MP is almost non-existant or bad/average, while in other it's the SP that is bad or almost non-existant.
So you're practically comparing online FPS games with SP FPS games in one poll - not a really good comparison.

I stick with COD, as it offers the best SP/MP ratio compared to other games.

Edit: also I'm very surprised by 0 votes for the UT series, I though they would be in the top 3 for sure, weird

Well I guess I should have said that this is more of a Single Player poll.
