HL2 goes without saying. What timeframe are we talking here?

Nope.

There was no AI improvement since Wolf 3D. Soo... there is no good single player shooter :P

But maybe you should try:
Half Life 2 (+ Black Mesa - mod with HL1 campaign)
Bioshock series
Stalker series + mods
FEAR
Doom 3
Painkiller
Maybe Far Cry 3 or Metro

Played doom 3 a while ago, a really cool game, but it had too much dark rooms where I can't see a thing

Passed Bioshock Infinite yesterday, was a really amaizing experience, definitely will try the first two Bioshocks for sure

Stalker is awesome.

Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl + Autumn Aurora 2 or Complete 2009 = epic

Honestly, I've never played the vanilla D3 for more than 30min or so. I tried, but I found it way too annoying to keep switching out between gun/flashlight.

Doom 3 is basically a dark-room-simulator with scary sounds.

Meh Far Cry with all the postman missions I couldn't be arsed so I stopped playing :(

The Rise of the Triad remake is pretty fun if you want something relatively new

Rage

second

not really a traditional fps but must play regardless if you missed out so much:

Portal series.

wolfenstein








3D

I prefer wolf 3d remake, wolfram
http://www.moddb.com/games/wolfram

its cool. :)

Dat movement :DDDDD

still better than UT movement ;d

u can strafe jump there :)

It's more like clusterfuck of every quake game more than simple "strafe jump" :D
Shame there is no multiplayer :c

yea ;d will love to play MP wolfram :D

http://www.wonder-tonic.com/wolf1d/

call of duty duh

Nah, I like more sci-fi like shooters with futuristic weapins and so on, but yeah, CoD4 should be a try

Mass Effect 1 is regarded pretty highly, sorted for scifi :P

from what year did you miss games? are we starting around STALKER series??, cuz i can recommend that one, first one shadow of Chernobyl, but with Zone Reclamation Project(ZRP, go on moddb.com) fixes stupid bugs and crashes, and keeps almost vanilla i think.

Farcry 3: Blood dragon for a very new game i can recommend, good oldschool style shooting, Duke3d meets robocop. Michael something from first terminator movie doing voice over!!

Well I stopped playing singleplayer fps since the realese of doom 3, that was the last singleplayer game I played until yesterday

Half life 2 (+ ep1 and 2) , fear, far cry 1 maybe (but released some months before d3), stalker (1st and 3rd are better than the 2nd chapter, or you can play directly lost alpha, it's free), deus ex: hr, crysis 1 (3 if you want to watch very nice graphic), bioshock (1 and infinity > 2), portal (2 > 1, one of best games in the last 10 years, even if they arent standard fps), far cry 3 decent (if you like freeroaming games), fc3 blood dragon shorter cheaper but very fun, metro 2033 and last light.

It's precisely what you want and precisely how these old school licenses should be used, instead of changing the genre (doom3) or being just stuck in the past (q4, with its q2sp and q3mp and with no additions whatsoever).

Passed new wolf a few days ago, nothing special and it has a stupid ending, if not the nazis I would say it is another CoD series game

Goddamn. Watching some play an FPS game with a controller is like watching your Grandmother try to set up a wireless router.

painkiller

Metro 2033 & Metro Last Light
Stalker: SOC & CoP (with Complete Mod)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

doom 4

Where to buy cheap Stalker: SoC for steam?

I got orginal cd-key, but no client and can't patch this shit up. ;/

No sales right now. Have a look here:

http://www.cdkeyhouse.com/steam-keys/520-stal...d-key.html

Dont know anything about the site. Seems legit though.

Edit: After some research it seems this is not an authorized reseller. Sorry :/

ty, i handled it.

downloaded some client from torrent, put my cd key. patched someway good and it works :)

but probably i will buy it from steam sale.

did you try redeeming the key on steam?

tried, doesn't work.

F.E.A.R. probably the best FPS single player game i've ever played.

also:

half life 2
far cry (the first one)
doom 3

if you want to go really old school then

system shock 2
duke nukem
blood 1 and 2

SS2 with graphic mod, awesome.

Mirror's Edge? It's $4.99 on Steam at the moment. Haven't played it (yet) but I heard good things about Assassin's Creed IV. Might check it out sometime. Not really an fps, but Amnesia: Dark Descent is another if you're into horror games. Quite a few custom stories for it too. A few I'd say are right up there with the vanilla game itself.

I have to be one of the very few people, but I didn't like Portal 2 much. I didn't even finish it. The part where Wheatley takes over just seemed to drag on forever and I got bored and never bothered to finish it. Personally I found Portal much more enjoyable and if they'd made something a tiny bit longer than that I think would've been better. I think part of it too is I got sick of listening to Wheatley. The voice and the humor were ok for a little bit, but not for that long.

Another Edit, fuck me: Anyone else have a problem with limit bandwidth setting in Steam? For me it seems to have no affect at all. I don't like having it use all of my bandwidth when downloading.

I think you can't really limit it.

Hard Reset.

thank you. seconded. MUST BUY for a few reasons:

1. 2011 Game that looks like a graphics engine tech demo -- you got the cpu/gpu now, so play a game that just plain shows it off!

2. Absolutely ZERO story, but did I mention the graphics? Neon-soaked, Blade Runner-cold cybersettings with over-the-top electrical discharges, energy-based weapon destruction and a dazzling Tesla-inspired range of weapons, upgrades and configurations.

3. Graphics. p.s plus a great old school, blast everything with your newly-earned weapons until they're all dead.

I'm playing Black Mesa atm
cause, never played the HL games, back then...

very nice so far.

Prey anyone?

You can't die there, right? :D
Very cool game. Much better than q4.

good game.

shame that failed in MP.

Bioshock is a must. All of them.

battlefield 4

i finished it second time, quite recently.

doom 4

I am not a fan of id/bethesda/zenimax/whatever games anymore, they just have ruined once amazing game titles...

Holy jesus, Metro 2033 is a sack of donkey balls.

2033 is unplayable, last light is so much better it's not even funny

Aye. While there's still some things that bother me about Last Light, it's a heck of a lot better than 2033.

See: Metro 2033 Redux

Was thinking about it, but I wasn't sure how much has changed (if any) as far as the gameplay goes. It had it's bugs and whatnot, but the thing that probably annoyed me the most is all the weapons felt like I was using pea shooters (this on normal difficulty). Certainly not expecting 1 hit kills, but having to go through multiple clips just to take down a watcher or something with a Kalash 2012 got annoying really fast. I happened to wake up a sleeping Librarian and I don't know if it was glitched or what, but it just stood there. So I proceeded to empty 3 full clips from a vsk into it's head. Still took an additional 2 shotgun blasts to take it down. I know Librarians are high hp, but cmon now. There were many things that ticked me off about 2033, but weapon dmg was a big one.

Try Ranger Mode next time!

Best thing about Metro Last Light, booby physics. \o/
