In what is, IMO, the best year for FPS’s since the 97/98, what was everyone’s favorite? I think I’ve added all the big ones, and yes, I know Halo 2 is a console game, and United Offensive is an expansion pack, but decided to throw them in there anyway.
Half-Life 2. I’d go with Painkiller for second. It would have been a close second if I hadn’t been hit with a terrible bug that prevented me from loading my saves near the end of the game. I never got to finish the damn thing.
I voted Halo 2, but CoD: UO comes a close second. I liked Half-Life 2 a lot, and it had a much better single-player, but the replay value is so limited. But I’m sure over time that will change.
This is a problem. Whenever I vote for an FPS, I’m always just voting for the single player game, since I couldn’t care less about multiplayer. Others apparently vote on the basis of multiplayer or both. So what are we voting on here?
Half Life 2 was a great FPS experience. Although now that I finished the game, nearly a week ago, and it was so linear, there’s simply no reason to revisit it. Fun for a few days at least.
Yeah, thats my exact problem. With both Halo 2 and CoD: UO, theres multiplayer that offers up a ton of replay value. I know HL2 is going to have tons of mods and add-ons, but its not really the same thing. I really wish there was some sort of multiplayer component in Half-Life 2, CS excluded.

Same here. I cant think of a game more deserving of DM. God it would be fun to use that gravity gun in DM.
Actually, omitting UT2004 and Battlefield Vietnam is a pretty good slip-up considering they both shipped on the same day. :)
HL2 is my pick and UT2004 would have been my #2 choice. It simply sets the standard for a polished multiplayer shooter with a ton of variety and excellent support from both the developers and community.
