Half-life and Half-life 2
the very first CoD

shogo

good call

that looks pretty funky

Have you played many custom maps for the games you've mentioned? Quake and Doom have tonnes of content, some of it better than any retail levels (for any game!) well worth a look. For Quake I'd suggest getting Quakespasm port and also Quake Injector to easily download maps and content.

I'm thinking of doing an article some time soon all about Quake custom maps/episodes.

There's plenty of content for the best shooters ever, that you already have so no need to try finding other games!

I havent really ever done this. I will now, cheers.

please, make that post asap and share your knowledge, i'm really interested in these maps

hope you get around to doing the article

soldier of fortune

such lovely gore

Ooooh, gonna reinstall forgot that :D

Duke3D

painkiller
kingpin
blood
alien vs predator
dark forces II
jedi knight II
shadow warrior
no one lives forever
XIII
turok 2
blake stone
terminator: future shock

Blood and Blakestone are 2 that I have been meaning to play but kept forgetting. Thanks

I've played most of the others but kingpin looks good too

XIII is $$$

Would be better with proper save system and not so many stealth sections :F

but dat cel shading!

And "hearing" steps around the corner!
*step* *Step* *STEP*

yeah :D

one of the few games that I played more than once

still waiting on part 2...

Strife

HL1 & HL2 + Episodes
Blood
Shadow Warrior
Duke Nukem 3D
Deus Ex (more rpg than shoot em up)


Make sure to play Quake1 mission packs and also Seal of Nehahra

Black Mesa is HL1 remake/mod for HL2.

And unfortunately it pales in comparison to the original.

rise of the triad (new) http://riseofthetriad.net/
wolfram http://www.moddb.com/games/wolfram (wolf3d remake)
Shadow Warrior http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/233130/

new or remake but old school

half life, nolf, deus ex, system shock (not mentioned), rtcw are new school imho

thats kind of what I was thinking which is why I didnt mention them in my post

True, I guess HL1 marked a before and after in the pure FPS category, but I would label it both old school and new school, because despite having an elaborate storyline and plot-related puzzles, parts without a baddie in sight and more than 256 colours, it's still raw motherfucking rampage if you have enough health and ammo, true to the genre's roots with bosses along the way, and an atmosphere still surpassed by none over a decade later. I'd place quake 1 and HL2 in second atmosphere-wise.

For me it's all about the atmosphere T1E. THE MOTHERFUCKIN AT1EMOSPHERE

No One Lives Forever was great! Thanks for reminding that <3

redneck rampage

Blood is a must play game. Maybe its just nostalgia for me but old school fps is doom quake and blood as top 3

it does look pretty great, its next on my list after I replay heretic

You should add Strife as well.

max payne

although its a TPS

tps ewwww

I think system shock 2 is on sale on gog.com right now.

Outlaws
Dark Forces 2

Project IGI 1

best singleplayer FPS with real weapons, very challenging, immense fun.

around 2001? it might have been the pc they where playing it on, but i remember it being a semi 3d long distance VERY pixilated mess of stealth sniping?

I also liked some of the 3rd person oldies... like Oni, MDK, MDK2.
Max Payne was also pretty fun

As for first person I liked: Descent and Alien vs Predator.

edit: also outlaws was fun!
And there was a "redneck game with shotguns" which I think is redneck rampage but I don't actually remember the title of it.... just blasting away chickens and some deep/stupid voice over giving lame remarks all the time hehe (was just funny).

Ah, and Unreal, obviously ;)

The old alien vs predator games are fun. The motion sensor device when playing the marine campaign is the most scary thing in the world :D Also awsome LAN games with some friends +) And theres lots of custom sp and mp maps people have created if you like the games and want more content

These aren't mentioned yet, I think:

Daikatana
Gore: Special Edition
James Bond 007: Nightfire (PC version)
Red Faction
Postal 2 + Apocalypse Weekend
