      1. Vietcong (The chit-chat and yelling and screaming from your AI team mates is more entertaining than you could possibly imagine. Plus the game is very realistic.)
      2. Ghost Recon (This game has to be played to fully appreciate just how good it is.)
      3. Deus Ex (A lot of story and variabilty make this game thoroughly enjoyable. The stealth aspects were the best in any game I played and enjoyed.)
      4. Doom (This game, more than any other, was a true breakthrough. It was endlessly enjoyable, especially considering all the mod levels that one could play.)
      5. Medal of Honor
      6. Max Payne
      7. Serious Sam

      I also liked Unreal but hated Unreal tournament. Hexen and Quake were very boring comparison to any of the above.

      I tried the demo for 1942 and could not stand it.

        I fully agree with the rest of the post though.

        And back on topic, I really enjoyed BF 1942 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Serious Sam...well, it's fine when I'm angry against someone or something

              There are a few historical fantasy ones. Thief 1 & 2 (if you count those as FPSs) or Hexen for example.

              There's also a few mods along those lines for half-life and such.

                  Ghost Recon is most certainly NOT a shoot-em-up. It is a tactical military combat simulation. Get it straight!

                      I think the original quake was great, q3a is nothing compared to UT in my opinion.

                      I love unreal tournament 2003 because the weapons are far more balanced. In the original UT, the rocket launcher was way too powerful, the sniper rifle was like an assault weapon and the flak cannon was too short range. I had to keep using the bio rifle . I much prefer the way they have done the weapons in new one. Most of you are probably bitter because you cant run it!! .

                      Its also faster gameplay too, I like the way the characters are shaped, move and respond. Also, (as much as I hate to admit it) the graphics do rule!.

                      Wolf sucked, purely because I kept dying on the escape level

                      Soldier of fortune and SOF II were great, for no apparent reason other than the fact that you could perform an autopsy with a shotgun.

                      WHY DID I NOT INCLUDE MAX PAYNE?!?!?! It truly rules. Unfortunately, it seems to want to run from the cd all the time, which sucks because I have a knack for scratching them.

                            Alright, Verto, give me some definitions.

                            Regardless, Ghost Recon is one of the best FPS that I have ever played. Even though you do control a squad, all the action is from the first-person perspective.
