Hexen (throwing magical crap at your enemies should count, I think) Clive Barker's Undying (a rich and unique atmosphere, but shows its cross-platform roots, even though the console version was never actually released) RAGE (a flawed gem) Clive Barker's Jericho (barely playable unless you're good at it; compensates by being evil and oppressive) Dark Salvation (I'm gonna be a hipster here, and pretend that I liked how retardedly unforgiving this amateur mod of a game is) i have not played 50 fps games so, but here is a list anyway.

Killing Floor Honorable mentions: Blood, Natural Selection, Doom 64, Metro: Last Light, Team Fortress Classic/2. There's a lot of stuff I haven't played yet, so this is probably not definitive.

Star Trek: Klingon Honor Guard 46. Outlaws 47. Starship Troopers 48. XIII 49. Requiem: Avenging Angel 50. Serious Sam: The First Encounter Special mention: Mirror's Edge - would be ranked around 13th if the shooter elements were more prominent. 1. Dishonored
2. Doom 3. Quake 4. DX:HR 5. Return to Castle Wolfenstein Those are the ones I've played through several times, way more than twice. After that it's hard for me to pick any stand outs, too many good ones to list. Was lying awake in the night (a bad habit my brain should really stop), trying to find a good cut-off point for "FPS", and deciding that Vermintide and Dark Messiah should be allowed. So they're in but the cut-off is before Skyrim which although is quite playable as an FP with a lot of S, there's too much focus on other stuff. And ofc Thief is out due to definite focus on not S.
Also added enouragment to stick to 10, because Mugwump's post made my monitor go all funny. Interesting to see how many people who have Quake very high also have Unreal very high, for all of Unreal's "at-the-time" beauty and less fun physics, I think the directness of the monster blasting is more comparable to Quake than first appearances suggest. Nice to be reminded of Undying, what a hidden gem that was. If I had more space then Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, Undying, UT, Rage, Wheel Of Time, Dark Messiah, Titanfall 2, in fact any of those could go in my 9/10 spots. 1) Skyrim
2) Morrowind 3) Oblivion 4) Thief DP 5) Thief2 6) Wolfenstein 2009 7) Quake 8) Quest for glory series 9) Vampire: The Masquerade � Bloodlines 10)Arx Fatalis 11)The Wheel of time 12)Undying 13)RTCW 14)Quake4 15)Doom3 16)Doom2 17)Doom 18)Quake 2 19)Half Life2 20)Heretic/Hexen Ur list is now:
1) Wolfenstein 2009 2) Quake 3)The Wheel of time 4)Undying 5)RTCW 6)Quake4 7)Doom3 8)Doom2 9)Doom 10)Quake 2 Honourary mentions: Half Life2, Heretic/Hexen my list would be very different. I was just adding titles I didn't see already mentioned.
Doom engine games(all of them)
Quake Duke3d The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Tribes Unreal Thief Tribes 2 Quake 2 Unreal Tournament Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II GoldenEye 007 Battlezone 2 The Elder Scroll I: Arena System Shock 2 Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear Half-Life Sin Ghost Recon Serious Sam Sure the Elder Scrolls games are role playing, but very 1st person hacking and slashing with lots of spell and projectile firing. If we're including Elder Scrolls games, then Oblivion gets to be in my top 3 for sure.
Skyrim was too similar to Oblivion to have any impact on me, and I could never really get into Morrowind for some reason. this is my top 10 ish
Quake (and mods) Skyrim (if that counts, it's not really a "shooter") Quake 3 Portal 1 & 2 (let's face it they were so short they might as well be one game) Thief Half-Life Painkiller Clive Barker's Undying Vietcong Battlefield 1942 CS 1.6(pre-source) Hmm FP games then, not necessarily S
Quake + SoA Oblivion Half-Life 2 + Eps 1,2 Unreal Portal 1,2 Half-Life Halo (XBox) - COME AT ME BROS Doom 3 I forgot Portal two (should rank like 7th or 8th).
And System Shock 2 (should rank like 4th). Whatever. oh well. If you ever get a wild hair I recommend you give it a second chance. Here are few shots from my current install: 1,2,3
This is without a "graphic overhaul" mod as they tend to look like dog ass. Aside from removing fog and fixing fov/resolution, the only mods are bug and balance fixes. /proselytizing A few of the games you guys chose are not really first person shooters though. I wouldn't put Dishonored, Thief, Arx Fatalis or the Elder Scroll games in that category.
The rest are definitely OUT. Including Battlezone2 which along with Skyrim would have been in my top ten.
Take it more seriously you disgusting plebs. Damn that does look nice. Hmmm. Well, if I ever get the urge to play it again I may give you a shout to request details of your setup.
I vote Shadow of the Colossus on PS2. The camera's so janky, half the time it is unintentionally first person lol. (Still one of the best games ever made, despite that).
1. Quake
2. Challenge ProMode Arena 3. Unreal 4. Half-Life 5. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl 6. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat 7. The Ultimate Doom 8. Duke Nukem 3D 9. Unreal Tournament 99 10.

Heretic 20. Metro 2033 21. Final Doom 22. Shadow Warrior (97) 23. Painkiller 24. Killing Floor 2 25. Counter-Strike 26. Day of Defeat 27. Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight 28. Doom 4 29. Quake 3 Arena 30. Hexen 2 31. Wolfenstein 3D/Spear of Destiny 32. Return to Castle Wolfenstein 33. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter 34. Serious Sam: The First Encounter (very similar games but SE is slightly better) 35. Red Orchestra 36. SWAT 4 37. Operation Flashpoint 38. Soldier of Fortune 39. Arma 3 40. Tribes 41. Natural Selection 2 42. Tribes: Ascend (when it used to be good) 43. Serious Sam 3: BFE 44. F.E.A.R. 45. Unreal Tournament 3 46. Half-Life 2 47. Doom 3 48. Crysis 49. No One Lives Forever 50. Insurgency Not included: - Thief: The Dark Project and The Metal Age: not first person shooters. - Deus Ex, System Shock 1 and 2: shooting not principal aspect of the game, especially in the case of SS2 and DX. - Dishonored 1 and 2: more of a shooter than Thief but still, shooting is not the principal aspect. - Bioshock 1 and 2: same as System Shock but with worse shooting. Unless you don't want HL2 to count because of all the crowbar sections, extensive gravity gun sections and loads of puzzles. Heck 20-30% of the Half-Life 2 doesn't involve shooting. More if you love the gravity gun (okay might be reasonably construed).
Heh, title said 50 so I gave you 50...
@Thief out: sure the focus is on stealth but since you can shoot all the enemies I think it still qualifies. Heh, title said 50 so I gave you 50...
@Thief out: sure the focus is on stealth but since you can shoot all the enemies I think it still qualifies. Hmm, actually kind of difficult to decide so this may be out of order/change depending on mood:
1. Serious Sam TSE (I love TFE almost as much but TSE provides more variety). 2. Left 4 Dead 2 3. Quake 4. Unreal Tournament 5. Turok 2: Seeds of Evil 6. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SoC 7. DOOM 2 8. Might and Magic: Dark Messiah 9. F.E.A.R. 10. Bioshock When I actually think about it, I don't play all that many shooters. The top five are much more set in stone than the bottom half. Personal favorites. If there is series, I only choose my favorite.
1. Quake 1 2. Silent Hill 3 3. Tomb Raider 1 4. Doom 2 5. Duke Nukem 3d 6. Tomb Raider 1 7. Ghostbusters (Genesis) 8. Dead by Daylight (multiplayer) 9. Don't starve Together (multiplayer) 10. Shadow of the Beast (Amiga) 1. Quake
2/3. Doom/Doom 2 (Doom for the atmosphere and level design, Doom 2 for the superior gameplay rhythm, they tie for me and shift by my mood) 4. Blood 5. STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl 6. Unreal 7. Hexen 8. Duke Nukem 3d 9. Rise of the Triad 10. Fallout: New Vegas Doom/Doom 2 (Doom for the atmosphere and level design, Doom 2 for the superior gameplay rhythm, they tie for me and shift by my mood
aye, it's probably safe to say that the majority of people who've spent a reasonable amount of time with doom hold this opinion. Seems like I really like Tomb Raider, lets replace slot 3 with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (since fighting games are awesome)
Sorry, I read title wrong. Yeah, not all of those are FPS games at all. New List:
1. Quake 1 2. Doom 2 3. Duke Nukem 3d That's it* 1. Quake
2. Quake 2 3. Half-Life 4. Fallout 3 5. Doom 3 6. Crysis 7. Unreal 8. Duke Nukem 3D 9. Return to Castle Wolfenstein 10. Mass Effect 2 Given it got a fair amount if semi-disappointment in this community. I did like it quite a lot myself....although definitely prefer Doom4....
I thought about listing Doom 3 for all the things that I like about it, but decided not to because of all the small details that I think they got wrong.
Like, for example, one little thought about the main villain's laughter makes me want to forget the game even exists. I mean, ahhhhahahahaehehehaghaghaaskdhjh
As we all know, the trick to liking Doom 3 is to evaluate it for what it is, rather than what it's not (Classic Doom).
Most of the games on my list I love because they have a big community of mods behind them. Doom 3 was one of them.
