I've compiled a list of various very popular shooter series, spanning across many platforms and garnering very large fan bases over the years.
Now its time to choose your ultimate shooter series, albeit because of its gripping story line, immersive gameplay, visceral graphics, theme, weapons, opponents, or any other reason you'd love a game! You can vote in the sidebar now.
If your game isn't here, then drop it in the comments and please still vote on your favourite from the list!
Half Life
Counter Strike
Battlefield
Call of duty
Quake
Unreal Tournament
F.E.A.R
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil
Halo
Let the voting begin!.. And probably a discussion-turned fanboy war.
:D i like Half Life and TF2
ReplyDeleteI havent played most of these =[
ReplyDeletebut battlefield definitely stepped it up in bad company 2. theres my choice
Damnit, something I probably should have included - in the very first comment!.. Thinking about it though I don't see TF2 as much of a series.. a fun multiplayer game yea, but, I don't really feel that it qualifies as a shooter series, and in a way I don't feel that it really belongs on the list.. I guess its half life for you then! ;]
ReplyDeleteTotally agree pleth, this poll was inspired purely because this game was floating around in my head, I only got it a few days ago and I love it, but for me I had to go with Counter Strike being my all time favourite, would kind of feel wrong hopping the BF series up to my top spot because of this one awesome game. I loved the old ones too but from my personal experiences and the ammount of time I spent playing various different games, CS nicks the top spot for me =)
ReplyDeleteHard to say really; haven't played all of 'em, but I'd probably go with halo
ReplyDeleteId say as far as pc gaming goes it has to be halflife for me..console though halo
ReplyDelete=) i've been playing since the original, the poll seems to be bugging out for me at the moment, might just be me 0.o..
ReplyDeleteHALO.
ReplyDeleteno wait, CSS.
ReplyDeleteHahha.. It seems to have disregarded my earlier CS vote xD
ReplyDeleteman, i miss playing bf2. i wish my computer could run it.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree entirely!!
ReplyDeleteExcept never played F.E.A.R. but I heard many stories about that little girl...FREAKY!!
supporting and following
i got the half life glasses
ReplyDeleteHalo
ReplyDeleteMuch love hoss =D and comradejoker, it is a scary game, and the graphics were at the forefront when this game came out.
ReplyDeleteeasy the correct answer is call of duty
ReplyDeleteScary storyline and events, generally startling and sort of jump out at you moments, plus being about 13/14 back then coupled with the best graphics of any game yet = pant shitting terror at moments, used to love the multiplayer, used to rape it up with friend from school =)
ReplyDeletehalo WILL be the winner >:]
ReplyDeleteYou have Quake, but not Doom? I am disappoint.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever played Wolfenstein? That's my favorite by far. But if I had to choose between these, I'd choose CoD
ReplyDeleteresident evil !! the best !!
ReplyDeletenice blog,supportin daily,please do aswell;)

I'd have to say COD, but I don't have too deep of an interest in video games.
ReplyDeleteI'm still all about Counterstrike, might have to pop on the servers tonight before bed. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a big resident evil fan...but Half Life was always my favorite shooter :)
ReplyDeleteGordon Freeman is a flawless representation of what every nerd aspires to be: cunning, hyper-intelligent, and badass in a cold way. HL2 wins.
ReplyDeleteHALF LIFE 2. "Comes a man? It is! The Freeman!"
ReplyDeleteCS is and will forever be the best.
ReplyDeleteHalf life is the best game ever
ReplyDeleteHL2
ReplyDeleteCounter-strike. I have played it the past 8 years.
ReplyDeleteAgree with everything but resident evil
ReplyDeleteThis is a very hackneyed list that includes first person shooters and third person shooters. Differentiation between the two would have been better IMO. I'll vote anyway ;P
ReplyDeleteI like call of duty
ReplyDeleteI would vote, but I hate shooters in general, have fun with the fan boy brawls though :P
ReplyDeleteI guess it's all whatever makes you happy. I like Battlefield myself, but mostly because I've played it more than the others. Supporting!
ReplyDeleteGrew up with CS, love the Halo now
ReplyDeleteBest game of all time? halflife.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun with Halo, but I have to give it to Call of Duty for perfecting the multiplayer experience.
ReplyDeletecall of duty not on here? travestyy
ReplyDeleteI'm actually very surprised Halo hasn't been relentlessly hated on by COD fanboys in here yet.. Halo.. particularly Reach has my vote. It fixed a lot of the issues with 3, and it's very fluid in it's gameplay. So yeah, that's my vote.
ReplyDeleteGood choices! but..where is Gears of war? xD
ReplyDeleteThis list is spot on.
ReplyDeleteCoD, definetly.
ReplyDeletePersonally I'd go with Halo or MGS.
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell is STALKER?
ReplyDeleteCS!!! It has such a strong following even today!
ReplyDeleteIm one of the few people that HATE half life. I think that shit sucks! lol. I would have to go with counterstrike...mainly because its like, the original online shooter. Also halo, it paved the way for online console gaming.
ReplyDeleteALL OF THEM!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, the games that gripped me most
are the Half Life series, portal, STALKER, Braid, and mirror's edge.
too bad that only half life is here!
A special mention to F.E.A.R. too, it is amazing.
i hate to be cliche but COD is very realistic for shooting, but i'm throwing golden eye into the ring, lol that'd be ridiculous
ReplyDeleteMSG is that even a question?
ReplyDeletegonna go with cod on this one, more replay value
ReplyDeleteI really cant choose between Halo, Battlefield and Resident Evil, they each have their lovable differences that makes it hard to pick a winner!
ReplyDeleteDOOM FTW!
ReplyDeleteCOD all the way.
ReplyDeleteF.E.A.R. is the most horrifying game I've ever played...
ReplyDeleteGreat post,
ReplyDeleteQuake I, Quake II, Quake III are all great so my vote goes to quake.
All the other games are great as well, my second choice would have been counter-strike source.
Nice, I like it.
ReplyDeletenice bloggy boy, i like how you got things heregoin. when you gonna comm me back
ReplyDeleteResident evil 4 FTW!
ReplyDeleteI consider CS under Half-Life.
ReplyDeleteBattlefield 2 imo.
ReplyDeleteCoD all the way!
ReplyDeletei despise shooting games with a passion
ReplyDeleteI likr css the most :) dunno why realy but it is one of the most played games on my list :)
ReplyDeleteGotta go with Half-Life on this
ReplyDeleteive played half life and halo the most so one of them
ReplyDeleteMGS!
ReplyDeleteHalf-Life, easily.
ReplyDeleteIm going to have to go with either Half Life, Counter Strike or Halo. I mean, admit it. Halo set a very large presidency for xbox FPS, so did MGS, but really alot of companies had to step it up for Halo, if they didnt meet with criteria of a gamer the game would fall to pieces. Counter strike is classical, I fucking love it, its my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would consider all of those shooters. However, I think the best pure shooter would be Half-Life
ReplyDeleteLEFT 4 DEAD
ReplyDeleteyes some games are very nice...
ReplyDeleteI'll sound like a scrub for saying it...but COD.
ReplyDeleteBattlefield series are awesome..
ReplyDeleteQuake III rocks also..
I'm more inclined to Metal Gear just because I've played every version available.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'll regret this, I have to say Call of Duty.
ReplyDeleteYou can divide this genre into more specific genres I guess. Tough one.
ReplyDeleteFor competitive online play, Call of Duty (the old ones).
For a compelling story, a tie between MGS and HL.
It's a hard one, but I'm going to have to go with Half-Life (including all its mods). Call of Duty has just been getting worse in recent years.
ReplyDelete(Insurgency!) so it's gotta be HL²
ReplyDeletelike it
ReplyDeleteI switch my vote to resdent evil
ReplyDeleteHalo
ReplyDeleteHaloHaloHaloHaloHaloHaloHaloHalo
ReplyDeletedoom and wolfenstein belonged there, sorry =p
ReplyDeleteDamn too many good choices! COD is the reigning champ right now, but half life, halo, CS etc all are awesome games as well.
ReplyDeleteyes the best are there and will remain there in our souls forever
ReplyDeleteCounter-Strike for sure. Team fortress is also a pretty fun game :P
ReplyDeleteHalf-life has AMAZING single player gameplay, very lacking in multiplayer content however. Can't wait for episode 3. CS will always be the best multiplayer shooter though
ReplyDeleteI'm a COD guy myself!
ReplyDeleteHowever I grow up on CoDs and MGS, I need to vote CS for it's popularity. :)
ReplyDeleteCall of Duty all the way
ReplyDeleteMGS is more stealth so....good list though.
ReplyDeletecod
ReplyDeleteCod :D
ReplyDeleteSupp
MGS isn't a shooter...
ReplyDeleteI'd probably say Battlefield.
Counterstrike. Classics baby.
ReplyDeletevery nice blog
ReplyDeletei like your post!
supportin & follow you ;)
I'm gonna have to go with Counterstrike. It practically started the entire online FPS series, which led to many titles such as CoD and Halo.
ReplyDeleteI'll vote CS:S here only because of the surfing.
ReplyDeleteI have to say CoD just because of how many games they've churned out..
ReplyDeletebets shooter ever doom. lol nowadays modernwarfare 2
ReplyDeleteRE5!
ReplyDeleteNo stalker? No killzone?
ReplyDeleteNot really sure if MGS counts, but I approve of Quake. Good shit.
ReplyDeleteGivin it up for CS
ReplyDeleteCS for sureeeeeee
ReplyDeletehalo. no doubt.
ReplyDeleteResident Evil, without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteBest story, best fear, and most realistic (despite zombie) setting.
Q2DM1 FOR LIFE!
ReplyDeleteThere's a serious lack of Wolfenstein here. RtCW was fucking brilliant and spawned one of the very best free FPSes ever in Enemy Territory.
ReplyDeleteYou're missing a couple but great list! following you!
ReplyDeletenice shit great games brooothaaa
ReplyDeletegood stuff
ReplyDeleteCounter Strike = D
ReplyDeletehell year. i love all these gamez
ReplyDeletepigdisgusting.blogspot.com
resident evil, killing zombies is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
ReplyDeleteyea, half life!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a toss up between Half-Life and Counter-Strike for me.
ReplyDelete..I'd probably end up choosing Counter-Strike.
MGS all the way.
ReplyDeleteI like Half Life a lot.
ReplyDeleteI just played the fear 2 demo... scared the bejebus out of me!
ReplyDeleteMGS of course
ReplyDeleteCSS
ReplyDeleteHalf-Life 2 for the win!
ReplyDeletealso, metal gear solid is dope
ReplyDeleteBioshock 1&2
ReplyDelete2 was better imo
That's a tough call, but I have to go with Resident Evil!
ReplyDeletemmm Crysis? *troll face*
ReplyDeletesolid list, i play counter strike myself
ReplyDeleteUnreal Tournament
ReplyDeletegotta go MGS for story, CS for replayability, and Call of Duty for overall fun I would say
ReplyDeleteTo be completely honest, I've never really played any of these games, CoD included. I need to start playing more games or something...
ReplyDeleteHa, you basically got them all... maybe to a separate list of best PC and Console shooters.
ReplyDeleteim probably gonna have to say counter strike
ReplyDeletethere are some really good ones there but i had to go with battlefield in the end
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you even put MGS4 and RE4 in that list. lol
ReplyDeleteI'd say Counter-Strike.
WOLFENSTEIN BRO
ReplyDeleteCS hands down
ReplyDeleteHalo = Best Game
ReplyDeleteI have to say i personally like the older Call of Dutys (cod2 more specifily)
ReplyDeleteFEAR, no doubt
ReplyDeleteResident Evil, the best game ever!
ReplyDeleteHalf-Life all the way baby!
ReplyDeleteCOD 2 is my fav ever
ReplyDeleteTHE CORRECT ANSWER IS HALO, THAT IS ALL
ReplyDeleteNothing will ever beat Quake. To me, Quake is the standard I rate other shooters by.
ReplyDeleteI hate shooter games TBH
ReplyDeleteFEAR, DOOM, Bioshock?!? WUT!
ReplyDeleteI was a huge fan of BF2142 on the PC, but to me the COD will always be superior
ReplyDeleteDOOM.. the very first 1.. those were the years...
ReplyDeleteHalf life, hands down! Just wish they'd come out with episode three already...
ReplyDeleteI'm appalled TF2 isn't on your list, but it's forgiven by the fact you listed Halo last. Love the FPS genre, and with that, Half-life definitely wins.
ReplyDeletecs source
ReplyDeleteResident evil ftw.
ReplyDeleteCS!!!
ReplyDeletequake and unreal hands down.
ReplyDeleteHANDS DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNN
u forgot stalker series :)
ReplyDeletebut my vote goes to halo as 1 and half life as 2
Quake for Sure! I, II, and IIIA
ReplyDeleteQuake. Anything other is scrub tier.
ReplyDeleteLoving the blog! im all about resident evil and the original MGS
ReplyDeleteNo doom?
ReplyDeleteNo fanboy here but I love Halo Reach but all of these are such great games. Hard to just pick one.
ReplyDeleteBattlefield variants with jets in them. Those were spectacular.
ReplyDeleteYo guyz, Imma let you finish but Unreal Tournament 2k4 was the best fps of all time, ALL TIME!
ReplyDelete
