Suggestions for a good FPS for me to buy

[Zarr]

I've recently got a PC and don't know what games are worth buying. I'm interested in a good first person shooter that I will like. So what's the best one to buy? I have Deus Ex and really like It and have heard that Half-life and Aliens vs Predator2 is good so should I buy one of these or another one? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I got two for ya, Medal of honor 2 and Soldier of fortune 2. Both are outstanding games !

And here are a few others: Max Payne and System Shock (1 and 2).

Old:

Thief
Thief 2
Alien Versus Predator
Doom (Now on *free* download if you look hard enough)
DoomII (Not on free download AFAIK)
Quake
QuakeII
System Shock
System Shock II
Deus Ex
Dark Forces 2 : Jedi Knight
Half-Life

Its a long list but those are they good ones ive played - if its old and not there its either crap or i havent played. Either way there should be enough to last a while.

New:

Quake III
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Star Trek Voyager : Elite Force
Dark Forces 3:Jedi Knight 2:Jedi Outcast

Damn, I used to keep up with FPS, but lately I just cant run them. There are others worth buying but i dont have them.

Any game in this list is ace and worth buying.

Thief
Thief 2

System Shock II
DeusEx

If you want to try a bit of realism in your FPS then try Operation Flashpoint. It's very realistic and has 2 add-ons - Red Hammer and Resistance. Resistance includes upgraded graphics if your system has the power to display em (best have a fast 'puter and GF4)

After playing this game all the other fps games out there seem... flat to me (and I've played almost every game listed so far... to completion)

If you like plain old brainless fragging... I recommend Serious Sam and Serious Sam 2, they're a lot of low-cognitive intensity fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]

An honerable mention to a couple titles good for multiplayer fun -
Unreal Tourney - good multiplayer action
Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Single player was boring but it has a very cool Assault mode and some challenging multiplayer maps for it.

If you decide to get the classic Doom or its sequel Doom II, get the Doom Collector's Edition. It's got Doom, Doom II and Final Doom (a Doom II add-on) all in one CD, and all for the price of just one game. Really worth it.

You may also want to get Totally Unreal. It's got the original Unreal (visually one of the very best FPS games around IMO), the add-on Return to Na-Pali, and Unreal Tournament Game-Of-The-Year edition all in one package, again for the price of one game.

I can strongly recommend Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Half-Life is a must-have for any FPS fan. I also thought No-One Lives Forever was OK, but for me it stops running at one level for no particular reason...

A couple more recommendations.

If you want FPS games that are funny [img]smile.gif[/img] , try Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior by 3D Realms. You can get both for the price of one if you buy the single package East Meets West. They're among the best pre-Quake FPS games you can buy.

Speaking of Quake, if you want to buy it, don't. Instead, get Ultimate Quake, which contains Quake, Quake II and Quake III Arena all in one package again and all for the price of just one of them. Good value!

You can find all the titles I mentioned here.

get half-life and play the counter-strike mod for it. it is kick-a**, and widely popular. also, look into playing the rogue spear series. they are superb games as well.
