[center]How is Doom³ influential? It just came out. I don't think other games used a lot of aspects from it already...[/center]

Rainbow Six crated the Squad Based games

Halo Series > All
Halo Series > Half-Life Series > All
Halo Series = Half Life Series + 1

a little first person shooter math for you
halo series and half life series are greater than all, but halo series is just barely better than the half life one yay for halo

I hate halo so much more now.

Im sure your talking aobut the console version of halo, which didnt influence anything to my knowledge. And if you want to compare halo pc version to halflife, i think we know whats better.

I think Golden eye or Half life, and Halo really is great it had cool weapons and stuff but it was just another FPS.

I don't like to generalize and say any particular game was the most influencial.

I think there are many different types of FPS games and in each different type there are always there is a most popular and influencial game.

I also feel that way about different types of games like RPG's and RTS's.

i agree with you fully, i think Half-Life was the turnning point in games and first person shooters, then half-life2 changed my life(not really but still, your missing the point)everytime i go to work, on my break i play halflife 2, call my g/f, or eat lunch or w/e but yea yoshi half-life for making the first person shooters what they are today

It's a tie between Doom and Half-Life for me. Doom was the basis for so many of the elements we appreciate in modern FPSs today, like gore and innovative level design. Half-Life just took those elements and brought them to the next levek by setting a new standard of quality.

Lets just say that halo sux and quake1 was the first 3d engine.

Actually, Yoshi, you're forgetting about Call of Duty. Melee attacks with all weapons in that, even grenades. Har har, grenade bashing. That is probably the best WWII shooter ever, and has set the golden PC standard of excellence. Alright, let's change this thread to the best FPS of all time!

I also forget CoD. More and more games should try using IRONSIGHTS instead of the unrealistic crosshair and gauges which piss me off.

conter strike? for being the most played fps of all time?

Halo wasn't very influential because no other FPS game gave you the ability to get(and steal also) any vehicle you find, melee with any weapon you have(other than grenades), throwing grenades without switching to them, and because it was for X-Box, you don't have to buy all sorts of video and sound cards to be able to play Halo and Halo 2. Halo has a good storyline(if you read the novels and payed attention to the game), has excellent graphics(it only messes up because the X-Box's processing power isn't good enough but the X-Box 2 will change that), and a lot of other good features. I would have to guess the only reasons why you people hate it is because you are:
-jealous of it's success(not that it's the best but it's still good)
-don't understand the story
-not a fan of it(that doesn't mean it sucks though)
-or just plain not good at the game and say it sucks

Those reasons overall doesn't make it a bad game. But anyway, I think that in "my opinion", Halo 2 is the best FPS.

Nah, I don't fit in any of those categories. If you were to categorize me, it would be in the "old-school gamer" section. I still play and enjoy Contra.

The best... I guess I would have to say that Halo 2 is my all-time favorite. Sometimes I might play another one, but it's like treating a heroin addiction with methadone - it just doesn't work. Seriously, I have to inject some Halo 2 every few days or I go nuts.

The first one I could see, but you're leaving a lot of people out with just 4 reasons people don't like it. Maybe I don't like it because I don't LIKE the story, I don't like Science fiction or any story in a futuristic setting. Maybe I don't like the selection of weapons. Maybe I don't like First Person Shooters. Maybe I don't like the style the graphics are done in.

Actually, I do like Halo games, but they aren't even close to my favorite FPS games.

Did you pay attention to the post? I said "I would have to guess the only reasons why you people hate it are:".Every time I see someone talking about a game they hate, it's usually always those reasons. On this other forum based website, I see a lot of Halo haters and they hate it for the reasons I stated before. And so I thought that they are probly the same reasons here on SEN. Heh, oops....

my best fps was about 3000... oh ye... right Unreal3 all the way as usual
