Quake (the original) is my favorite, although I play CS and Q3A now.

Can't believe so many people voted for Unreal2K3 :Q

Metroid isnt really a FPS...yea it looks like it from screenies but if you play it you would say the same.

With that said...my favorite "FPS" would be CS hands down...no other game in the genre has takin up NEAR as much of my time. In fact I just reinstalled it the other day....been playing it for years now.

True that! Tribes1 was the bomb. Too bad about T2... :( I actually got quite good at it but the bugs and constant crashing just took the appeal away.
Now I mostly play Q3 mods/adaptations, like UrT, RtCW, MOHAA, etc. UrT is probably my fav multiplayer at this moment... CS without the lamers.
BTW, CS = Half-Life. It is not a separate game. It is a mod. Am I the only one who owned a copy of HL before the very first CS beta? And that was back in like Dec '98/Jan '99... years ago. And HL was originally a Q1 adaptation, then they re-engined it to Q2 a couple of years ago. The game is beyond ancient. My old Athlon 650 with a Voodoo3 could max out over 90fps at 10x7 and I sold that system more than 2 years ago...

Chess is ancient too...dosent keep it from being good:)

Your not the only one who owned HL before CS..infact I remember when TFC came out and I played the hell out of that.

CS is not Halflife...it has nothing in common with HL single player at all....just cause its a mod dont mean nothing....CS is infact its own standalone game now anyhoot.

Out of all of those that I've played... I've played Counter-Strike the most, far and away. There's a reason for that. That's what I voted.

Well, I totally forgot about how many of those great games I have played before! I added some more to the poll, even if it is a bit too long / too late!
And I also forgot about how much time I spent playing the good Duke in the past! All those old games were great! And I can hardly forget my days of playing thru Deus Ex... technically its not just an FPS, but it is still excellent!
Vote more, vote for new choices! heh heh :D

<--- half kidding they are good games but not nearly as good as Halo or Halflife ;)

Battlefield 1942 by far!

And with the new patch, things improved drastically.

Q2 and action quake... now that rocked! but I picked UT because of the TacOps mod. I played it a lot last year. This year I have been more into warcraft 3.
