The original Doom for me, classic.

Tough to say.  I like different ones for different reasons.  Halo because I use to LAN party the first three with friends all the time.  I remember with our game settings, we'd have like hours long matches on Sidewinder and Blood Gulch with CTF.  It's an amazing LAN party experience.

I love post-apocalyptic shooters, which would include the STALKER series, the modern Fallout games, and the Metro series.  Seclusion, survival, it's just a setting I almost always find interesting.

I then enjoy online multiplayer shooters, which includes Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, and Battlefield games.

This might be the hardest genre for me to pick a favorite out of lol

I would  probably go with unreal tournament 99.  Played it all the time. Used to have all the time in the world back then. Not any more. Now I have "responsibilities" :'(

Metroid: Prime on GameCube. I still enjoy the 2D entries of the series more, but Metroid: Prime was the reason I finally got a GameCube. The same sense of isolation and exploration-driven gameplay is there and the graphics were absolutely stunning for the time.

For those that don't consider Metroid: Prime a true FPS I'd say Halo 2 is my 2nd choice. I LOVED the sci-fi storyline in that game. The story was just epic. And I loved seeing the story from both the perspectives of Master Chief and The Arbitur. And it just built on everything from the first game: Better graphics, more epic soundtrack, more weapons, more vehicles, and as I already mentioned: two playable characters this time.

Mine would be very close between BioShock Infinite and Metroid Prime. I think I'd give the edge to BioShock personally.

From what I see from a quick online search, Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect are reviewed the highest on PS2. I have no idea if that's worth going on though.

Not a fan of FPS genre to be frank. At high school during lunch period we would play Unreal Tournament, and Quake III. I did enjoy Tribes aerial Assault for PlayStation 2 Online Network back when it was released, although the atmosphere fog was annoying.

The only FPS that caught my attention and had to play all the way though was Shogo: Mobile Armor Division for PC.

Portal 1 and 2. Yes they are different than other FPS because they are classified as first person puzzle games but that's why I like them. Really fun and no ultra violence and gore.

PS2.

Gamecube is missing buttons, so you miss out on some features, like the select menu stuff.

I own, but am unfamiliar with the xbox version and controller.

I don't play FPS games all that often, but I had a ton of fun playing the Goldeneye remake on Wii when it came out.

Borderlands. 

The first one was my favorite.  I played the shit out of it.  The second one is probably better, but I liked the auto-turret from the first game.  It's just my favorite.

I'm not a fan of this genre, but Dishonored looked really cool when I watched someone play it.

Oh man so many great ones, a personal favorite of mine is the original Quake, and all of ID's FPS. Borderlands is pretty great too, I'm on my second run of the Borderlands games and man those are addicting.

Man....I have to go with the Halo series.  I've played Halo 1, 2, 3 & Reach more than just about any other FPS out there.  I didn't play a lot of Halo 4 because the campaign was kinda dull and the multiplayer got boring quickly.  I went back to playing Reach multiplayer and that was probably my favorite.  Now that I've won an Xbox One, I'm going to give Halo 5 a try. 

With that being said, there are a ton of FPS games & series that I love.  It started with Wolfenstein 3D for me, then Doom.  Bioshock, Killzone, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor....I could go on & on about all the great FPS I have played.

Agreed. Plus PS2 is the only console you can get the whole series for so the familiarity is there.

Tricky. FPS is one of my least favourite genres (at least within the genres which I actually play), but I loooooooooooooooove BioShock and BioShock 2 to the extent they must be in my top five of all time. That said, they aren't 'pure' FPS and I don't normally associate them with the term.

So technically it's BioShock 1 & 2 by a mile, but when it comes to more standard FPS gaming I'd say either Call of Duty 3 or one of the early PC ones like Ken's Labyrinth, Wolfenstein 3D or Blake Stone.

Honestly, probably TF2. Singleplayer probably ends up being Half Life 2, however.

Damn, good topic!

3. Goldeneye 007
4. Doom II
5. Black Mesa (Half Life)

Of all time it's a tie up between COD4 and COD:WAW. COD4 was my first 7th game and the first game I played on a console that I owned myself. Amazing graphics for the time and the gameplay was extremely fun and addictive. Then WAW came along with a WW2 setting and some new features like Nazi Zombies. I think they adapted COD4's mechanics into a WW2 game really well and since I have an interest in that time period I've waiting ever since for another WW2 COD game, maybe going into a campaign not so often looked at e.g. China, Burma or Norway. While it's a massive shame the multiplayer is unplayable, I still find the campaigns fun to go back to every time.

A runner up would be the new Doom, I expected it to be pretty good but it blew my expectations out of the water. Awesome fast paced action, interesting level design all while listening to kick ass metal music!

Titanfall for online multiplayer

So technically it's BioShock 1 & 2 by a mile, but when it comes to more standard FPS gaming I'd say either Call of Duty 3 or one of the early PC ones like Ken's Labyrinth, Wolfenstein 3D or Blake Stone.

I 2nd the recommendation of "Blake Stone: Aliens Of Gold" as well as its sequel game called "Blake Stone Planet Strike" both of these Blake Stone games are Wolfenstein 3D clone games, but with a graphics uplift.

If anyone can buy themselves a copy of "Blake Stone Aliens Of Gold" and "Black Stone Planet Strike" on steam just do it, it should be cheap and both games have a TON of replayablisty.

in either of the Blake Stone games for PC, you can shoot all the enemies and all the good guys too or you can get series and collect all the hidden treasure throughou the level, you get a higher score for

1: not shooting the good scientists,
2: for shooting all the bad guys in the level
3: Collecting all the hidden treasure, there is a map and also this game lets you go to any floor in the game once it's unlocked letting you backtrack to previous levels

Halo 2,
this was my most-played game when I was a kid.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,
I can't believe how many evenings I have played the infected mode on this game.
Besides the infected mode, I also really enjoyed the Spec Ops mode. At one point having the 12th position in the world on a particular map.
It was quite a proud moment for me :D

Battlefield 1
My cavalry charges were intense, last online game I played before switching to Fortnite lol

Favorite of all time: Unreal Tournament 2004. Everything from the fast paced run and gun to the vehicles and running people down.... fantastic. The modes were fantastic. I really REALLY wanted a new Unreal Tournament for PS4/5 but with the success of Fortnite, all other Epic projects were s**t canned. So side note here.... f**k Fortnite.

Favorite modern: Destiny 1 and 2. I play with my brother and am planning on buying the new expansion coming up next month as I skipped all added content for Destiny 2 having only had the base game. For the first Destiny, I had bought all expansion content but I needed a break after finishing the second. I'm ready to jump back in and I like that it's getting a PS5 update.

My favorite FPS is easily the first Medal of Honor.
I still have lots of fun playing it even over 20 years past its original release.
My honorable mentions go to the Doom series as a whole and Duke Nukem 3D.

All kidding aside, during my formative years as a gamer I wasn't really into FPS, in fact, I really didn't think much of them—my perception is different now, of course. Still, out of the few FPS games that I played that grasped my attention, both Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown for PS1 and South Park for N64 I can honestly say I genuinely enjoyed, so much so that I had to get them when I started closing the gaps in my collection. I also remember playing DOOM for SNES and actually liking it, but it was a rental and I never rented it again.

As a kid, I would have been torn between Wolfenstein 3D and Goldeneye 007.

Lately, I have to say either Borderlands 1 or 3. There's something about the open world-ish RPG style that really appeals to me, and now "regular" FPSes feel incomplete to me without it. I remember playing 007 Nightfire on the Gamecube a few months ago, and I ran up to an enemy and got almost killed. It then occured to me that it was because I was trying to press in the C-Stick to melee them.  :P

Bioshock Infinite.
One of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had playing a game.

Honorable mention: Doom 2, Doom 2016, Duke Nukem 3D, Bioshock, Metroid Prime

Mine would be very close between BioShock Infinite and Metroid Prime. I think I'd give the edge to BioShock personally.

I like the way you think.
(I know I’m quoting a post from 4 years ago, but whatever.)

It’s an older code, but it checks out.
