Some lists are agreeable, and some lists are pretty bad. Then there are lists like this one. Terrible.
Wow.... No mention of Tribes 1 and 2, and Tribes Ascend makes the list? Come on... Also, Planetside 2 has no business around the other stuff in the top 10.
If you have thief, but then do not have Deus EX SMH
Doom is in no way the best fps (PC or otherwise) ever made. Don't get me wrong it's a quality shooter but if it's still the greatest of the genre after all these years the industry has failed.
CS GO and Far Cry 2 in the top 10? COD2 above COD4? Lmao. Pretty awful list overall.
I read the article but I still don't get how Thief counts as an FPS but Portal doesn't. I wish they included some of these borderline games just to see how they rank.
Red Faction 2 should be on this list.
Far Cry 2 higher than Crysis.
While ambitiious in its own right, did anyone actually enjoy shooting and playing Far Cry 2? Really?
I think they did better with their strategy list.
Yeah...Tribes 2 was/is a masterpiece. It's too bad no one is capitalizing on that idea. You could make a lot of money, especially if you made it free to play with only aesthetic dlc.
I probably haven't played a shooter better than Tribes 2 at this point. You had huge worlds, vehicles, skill, bases, customization, rock music. There was nothing the game couldn't do.
I recently replayed this game. THe multiplayer is balls to the walls awesome, but the single player is so early 2000s (underwater level, turret sequence after turret sequence, corridor, enemies that just stand still).

half life 2 bellow og hl? i don't know...
It is still the best and the industry has indeed failed to outdo it.
Wasn't their RTS list similarly scattershot with a bunch of games nobody wants to play in 2015 and a few that aren't even strategy games?
Someone should make a GAF poll and spreadsheet to poll GAF's top 50 FPS games and see how it is different.
Why?

Maybe. The oXbox version is still amazing to play. Its design is arguably not perfectly suited to M&K though, and outside of framerate and resolution, all of Halo 1's ports have significant aesthetic issues. I can definitely understand a PC gamer not being impressed with it.Halo CE is way too low.
I've never played it with a mouse, but I experienced Doom for the first time (on 360) a few years ago and I thought it was phenomenal.Am I the only one who thinks Doom doesn't hold up? I mean it was good at the time, but I'm not seeing how someone can think it's the top FPS ever made.
What a horrible list. Call of Juarez on there, no Halo 2. CS GO above CS 1.6 and CSS. Considering how important Halo was to console FPS, it should be in the top 5.
DOOM is only on top for nostalgia purposes. It doesn't hold its weight any more. Yes it was important in the history, but it is not the greatest FPS ever made. Much like the Wright Bros airplane is not the greatest airplane ever made.
COD 2 over 4?

No Unreal Tournament (99)? Fucking lol.
So much shit on that list doesn't come close to UT99.
