    Toss-up between Half-Life 2 & Deus Ex.

    Half-Life 2 because it has this sublime design to it, which means that the only thing stopping my gaming session is a power cut.

    Deus Ex because it is, quite possibly, the largest, most in-depth "world" I've ever experienced in a game.


    And honorary mention to Ratchet & Clank 3 in FPS mode.
    LOVE Insomniac's weapons creators!

    Probably UT way back in 2000. First gaming I did online other than MUDs and I'm still amazed they were able to make it workable over dialup.
    Hours and hours whiled away, I probably haven't actually matched the time spent on a fps online since.

    At the moment I'm playing tons of Black ops and really liking it.

    But ever?

    Hmmmmm, Goldeneye, Doom 2 or Half Life 2 are top tier IMO(for their time)

    Deus Ex for me. Playing that game completely sucked me in. Particularly when you felt the decisions you were making were having an influence over the storyline.

    The Half Life Series and Modern Warfare 1. I'd say Doom one/two but being honest that's just nostalgia. I think nostalgic stuff should be accounted seperately. The large majority of older games have aged badly although the Doom games are still good to play.

    Doom hasn't aged a bit. It's a bit dated graphically but for sheer balls out blasting and fantastic level design there's nothing else like it.

    Most memorable for me would be half life, UT99, duke nukem, timesplitters 2, TF2, HL2, portal, left4dead, battlefield BC, fallout 3 and dare I say it for fear of being lynched
    MW2

    TF2 wins overall for me.

    Original Half Life probably, awesome atmosphere in that game, hearing the marines radio chatter when they were around, wondering what the hell was making all that noise in the big pipes before getting to the tentacles, the first time you were underwater too long, turned around and saw the gaping mouth of that giant fish, the opening segment, awesome.

    You can turn that off with by adding no_spawn to the user.cfg file in the your SS2 directory. Although in fairness this did not always seem to work for me.

    Never bothered me really. The respawning enemies were usually lower powered and it stopped the backtracking getting repetitive.

    Showing my age, HL and Doom 2.
    Of the current crop, I'm rather partial to LFD2.

    Wolfenstein 3D and Doom would have been the first ones that I really got into, but after that i drifted into the point a click adventures like Blade Runner, India Jones and Full Trottle, then the Sim games like Sim city and Championship manager ruled for many a year.

    I tried to get back into FPS's on a few occasions but they had gotten too fast paced and unrealistic, games like Quake held no appeal for me with guys booting around the place (prob still why i still hate Halo).


    I did dip back in for the Medal of Honor games as they were always brilliant, and set in real campaigns but Only really came back to FPS in a big way with COD4 which at the time blew me away but every COD game since have been very poor.

    Since then MAG has been brilliant, and despite tons of people thinking its rubbish this years Medal of Honor is one of the best games ive played this year never mind best FPS this year. It just does everything right, it gets the balance between keeping it realistic and keeping it fun just right. It looks amazing, plays really well and uses a cover system very well.
