Best FPS campaign in your opinion

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...

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
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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. :(
 
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.
