With the release of doom 4 and it is getting praised as one of the greatest sp campaign for a fps in a long time. Growing up in the 90s I obviously played lot of sp focused fps. So go ahead neogaf tell me what is your favourite single player fps campaign?

Mines are

AvP2

That marine campaign alone is worth the price of admission.

System shock 2.

You can include hybrid fps games too. Not just restricted to action. For example vampire the masquerade or Deus ex are all legitimate choices.

Edit: surprised to see no love for this game

Really liked this game back in the day.

Pretty underrated sp campaign...

Edit2:

 

[brandonh83]

Hmmmmmmm Half-Life 2.

 

[johnnydrama]

Crysis 2007.

 

[LastGamer84]

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Runners up for me:

Halo CE/Halo 3
Modern Warfare

 

[AaronMT86]

The original Half Life. The environments and depth of the Mesa facility you ventured through are unforgettable.

 

[geomon]

Haze

 

[antitrop]

"They're waiting for you, Gordon... in the test chamber."

Spoiler

Half-Life

 

[Ethelwulf]

Half life 2.

 

[Infest]

Also the original Bioshock.....and even 2, I just love this universe.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Halo 1 or Cod 4 for me

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

When CoD4 came out I probably played the campaign like 6 or 7 times.

 

[Farks!]

Half-Life
Deus Ex

 

[Compsiox]

Halo 3.

Mostly because it was the finale of the game series (trilogy) that had a huge impact on my childhood.

 

[Elitist1945]

 

[NandyRewman]

Another vote for Half Life 2. Nothing comes close.

 

[Calavera520]

no one lives forever

 

[thesuperfunk]

GoldenEye and Half Life 1

 

[Regginator]

since hybrids as you called them are allowed, it's gotta be deus ex

followed by bioshock probably.

 

[Pantaghana]

I'm undecided between Half-Life 1&2, STALKER. and FEAR.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Half Life 2, 12 years and running. I seem to be able to return to this campaign an endless amount of times, and particularly if you include the episodes.

Praise be.

 

[brandonh83]

Also the original Bioshock.....and even 2, I just love this universe.

Appreciate the shout-out to Infinite. I loved it and also consider it one of the best but plenty had issues with it that never really resonated with my experience personally.

 

[TheXbox]

Halo: CE

Transformative, timeless, the GOAT

 

[120v]

so basically what's the GOAT fps? kinda broad... like asking whats the best rpg, best platformer, ect

 

[Truant]

Best? Hard, but some standouts

Half-Life 1 / 2
Bioshock 1 / Infinite
Deus Ex 1 / HR
System Shock 2
Dishonored
Doom 2016
New Order / Old Blood
S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Halo: CE

 

[Loxley]

COD1 + United Offensive for me. HaloCE and COD4 get honorable mentions.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Call of Duty, it was great playing as 3 different factions and it gave a good feeling of the scale of some of the battles as well as being part of a unit and not a sole super solider.

 

[Mental Atrophy]

Doom's first episode: Knee Deep in the Dead.

 

[Grisby]

Man, I can't decide.

Flash answer is Halo 3. Levels and scope are still amazing to this day.

 

[Strangelove77]

Off the top of my head I think Metro: Last Light is the best fps campaign I've ever played, but my personal favorite is probably Bioshock Infinite.

Or Portal 2 if that counts. I'm guessing not.


Also a shout out to Resistance 3. I never played the previous ones and it looks like the entire series got a negative reception, but 3 has a great campaign.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Half Life 2. Not just the story, but the hints at what's to come... Which I guess was nothing, bit it seemed like there was a lot more to the story than we were shown.

 

[Revolutionary]

FEAR

 

[ZenTzen]

only ones i've had extreme amounts of fun in the last 10 years
- Halo 1 and 2
- Bioshock
- F.E.A.R 1 and 2
- DOOM 2016

 

[Soodanim]

As much as I adore a lot of the games mentioned already, I can pick up HL2 and play it from any point and enjoy it. So good.

 

[Bl@de]

Deus Ex

 

[White_sox]

FEAR is my all time favorite.

 

[Spring Drive]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

 

[Nestunt]

Bioshock

never liked FPS games, til this masterpiece

 

[TheRedSnifit]

System Shock 2 is still the king.

 

[mcz117chief]

Another vote for Halo 3

The greatest FPS to date.

 

[stn]

My absolute favorite is Deus-Ex 1.

 

[lame gag]

Half-Life 2 is my favourite since the day it came out. Something about it just pure class.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was great too. Right up there with the best I think.

Other great ones (that I've played): Half-Life, Doom, Doom 2, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Deus Ex, Killer7 (not sure if this counts), Metroid Prime (again, not sure if this counts), AvP2, Duke Nukem 64, Condemned.

I really liked all of them.

 

[klownboots]

Yeah I really loved this one. It might be due to the disappointment of 2 but R3 was sublime.

 

[Decado]

Older games:

No One Lives Forever 2
F.E.A.R.
AvP2
SHOGO
DOOM 2

More recent:

Shadow Warrior (2013)
Wolfenstein: The New Order

I'm sure I'll love DOOM (2016) when I get it.

 

[Tambini]

My man

On the same level as Half Life 2 (which Resistance 3 took a lot of obvious inspiration from)

 

[Super_Cobra]

Resistance: Fall of Man.

 

[LightningXCE]

The Halo trilogy.

 

[brandonh83]

I still think Resistance 1 was the best of that trilogy.

 

[Y2Kev]

Resistance 3. I STILL play this campaign from time to time. Really loved it. Wonderful look to it, fantastic weapons (all available), great enemy AI and variety, spectacular level design/set pieces that feel organic and well integrated, great and satisfying plot.

Insomniac, please. You finally got it right. Please try again.

 

[Neiteio]

I'm confident saying DOOM 2016 is the new king for me.

Prior to that, Bullestorm, Metroid Prime, Half-Life 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and the BioShock series, especially Infinite (yes, antithesis of what I prefer in terms of mechanics, but dat world-building). Also, the first two-thirds of Crysis, and Portal 2 if it counts.

But DOOM 2016 is the most fun. Game is a blast from start to finish.

 

[Gator86]

Bioshock or Deus Ex for me.
