For me, Halo CE was the first FPS I played, and I loved it. What are your thoughts?

Don't Pm me for groups, Cheers!

My first FPS was DOOM, but I didn't play it much at all.
Halo was my first true FPS.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

My first big FPS was Counter strike.

No, Counter-Strike was the first game that got me to FPS shooters.
Although, Halo was the first FPS shooter I had most fun with it.

Goldeneye and Delta Force 2 got me into shooters, then later on titles like Counter-Strike, Halo, etc etc

Waffles > Pancakes. End of story.
I <3 Bungie :)

Indeed it was. Before it, I was into The Zelda series, Mario, and Metroid.
Ahh..... The memories.

My first shooter was Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. The game that got me in to shooters was STAR WARS: Republic Commando (still my favorite today), which introduced me to Halo.

I had played some crappy generic shooters like Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, etc, but Halo was the first really good FPS I had played

Yes. Because the controls in Halo actually made sense.
