Battlefield 2 & expansions
Battlefield 2142
CoD2
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Quake 4
UT2K4
F.E.A.R.


Those are all the other ones that I have...I highly recommend all of them, except maybe Quake 4 and GRAW. Never really like Quake and GRAW isn't exactly what you'd call popular on the PC.

Definatly UT2004. It's a great game. Second best FPS i've ever played, after Halo. I also sujest Starcraft, even though it isn't FPS. IMO it's the best game ever.

P R E Y has the best single player I've ever played... definitely get the demo... and if you like the demo, buy the game.

QFTGDMFT!

Yeah, besides Garry's Mod (Good game, not a VALVe game) VALVe has struck gold with every game they have made, can't go wrong with those. Just avoid Gearbox's Blue Shift, good story but not as perfectly executed.

Also:
Battlefield 1942
Team Fortress Classic
Doom 3
America's Army (Check it out! I'ts free!)
FEAR Combat

Counter-strike source is a not bad game, i'd say its beeting halo in its graphics and the guns are more realistic (not in the future), but other then that, yea c-s:s is an ok first person shooter

Well, I have HaloPC, Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, CS 1.6, and CS: Condition Zero. Great games.

Well, if you're looking for a good FPS game, try CS: Condition Zero. Sure, it got a worse overall score than CS 1.6 and CS: Source, but it's really good IMO. CS 1.6 is good too, it's just that it's way too ugly for my eyes to endure through gameplay. The character models, and their arms look like they're from Bob the Builder. The rifles, especially the AK47, looks like it was made from Play-Doh, and issued to the Navy SEALs as a joke. Seriously. And CS: Source has more cheaters than any other game I've ever seen, it's all about spray and pray, etc. But yeah, it's pretty, very pretty. I orgasmed when I saw the shiny textures of the M4A1 Carbine Rifle while playing CS: Source on my friend's PC.

So yeah, CS: Condition Zero, IMO is the way to go. It has ok graphics, the gameplay is just as good as CS 1.6, and it includes bots, tons of campaign missions, etc.

For a good flight sim-combat game, I'm not sure if there are any good ones on the PC. I mean there's Blazing Angels for the PC, but both the PC and the console version got horrible scores, for reasons I do not know of (I was going buy it, but after looking at how bad the score was, and how little campaign missions there were [seriously, there are more planes you could choose from than the freakin' missions!], I decided not to waste 20+ dollars on it). If you have a PS1, or a PS2, I recommend the Ace Combat series. The recent Ace Combat games were crap, but Ace Combat 1, 2 and 3 were brilliantly awesome. And for a PS1 game, Ace Combat 1 has awesome graphics. The only flaw to this game is it is way too easy, even on hard mode. So yeah, it's your choice.

All the good games were mentioned here, so I won't bother.

Excuse me for asking, good sir, but wtf are you smoking? Call of Duty 2 had a great single-player, to that I will admit. But Call of Duty 2's multiplayer on Xbox Live was fudged up so badly that you can't help but think it was a huge cruel joke. Eight player limit in a game? What the hell? An overpowered yet unreliable Halo 2 like shotgun? Sorry, but COD3 had 24 player support, better maps, better gameplay in general, and a better campaign. I could say more but I feel I have made my point.

Sorry, Kimbo, but console shooters are pewp. CoD2 for the PC was amazing - both SP and MP. MP had a max of like 30 - compared to 8 on consoles.

Here's a screeny with 28, so I'm pretty sure the max was 30 or 40. Oh, and yeah, that round was pwnage.

CoD3 had a max of 24 you say? Well, that's pretty much average on PC now, for most games anyway.

Time to play FPSes on the platform they were meant to be played on, methinks.

Another fabulous reason to why I hate consoles so much.

COD2 on xbox was absolutely horrible. i have it for PC and Xbox. the main problem was not the player cap- its was the "make sure evreyon's ready" system. every time i play there's 3-4 -blam!-s that won't say that they're ready so we all have to wait for 10 minutes before the game starts! and despite the low cap there's ridiculous lag? the whole thing was underwhelming after playing it on the PC.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Wait, why are you asking this on a Halo PC/Halo 2 Vista forum?

That's sort of like Gunbound's before-play system. Actually, it's exactly like it.

Nivek
it does NOT beat halo in graphics by a long shot considering there are barely any metalic bumpmap surfaces. css doesnt take a high end video card to run it well. The guns look realistic but they dont shoot realisticly. for example if you shoot the m4 in fully automatic, the m4 btw is one of the most accurate and widely use guns in the world, the spray will be so bad that it turns an assault rifle into an smg-it seems as if the spray comes out at a 180 degree angle. The game only sold good because of all the hype from the previous cs's in the series, in fact cs 1.6 was arguably the best in the series.

You do know that the M4 is a Carbine, right? You do know that Carbine's are typically less accurate than their full-sized counter parts, right (due to shorter barrel length)? Also, the M4's pretty much standard for tank crews now - it actually replaced the SMG's.

Still, it is one of the most accurate rifles in current warfare. Carbine or not, you can't accept the fact that Valve completely reduced accuracy and increased muzzle crazi-ness-icity (lol), just to give players a challenge, yet they don't realize that it was a horrible mistake doing so. Sort of like how Bungie relunctantly put in the M7 SMG, and when the complaints from fans all over the world started filling up their b.net hatemail, explaining that they have a better luck killing their opponent with a tiny Nerf football, THEN Bungie realised how bad their decision was.

I know that Call of Duty 2 has a 32 player limit. I know that Call of Duty 2's multiplayer kicked tons upon tons of ass. But it's unfair for Masterz1337 to unfairly compare Call of Duty 3, a 360 title exclusive to Call of Duty 2 on the PC, so I assumed he was referring to the console versions.

I agree, totally, Nihilistic. I think PC games are better anyway, but I disagree with Masterz1337 when he says Call of Duty 3 was bad.

Well it still doesn't have anything to do with Halo PC nor Halo 2 Vista.

I don't like the new Call of Duty releases i would pretty prefer the earlier versions on pc. Like Call of Duty 1 & its expansion pack ,United Offensive. The Single player modes are way better than in Cod 2, In my taste. Graphics are okay but Call of Duty 2 graphics are still better of course. But my personel favourite is the Medal of Honor Series. Somehow, the graphics on the console version are wierdly fake like the hands & all that. I whatever you do DON'T buy Medal of Honor Pacific Assault. Gameplay is seriously horrible, its fun for 2 days & boring for the rest of your life, although the graphics & physics are good. & apoc, CS:S graphics use the source engine which has way better graphics than the Halo series. ( Sorry Bungie ). & have you also tried Dark Messiah: Might & Magic ? Physics are like the best of the best. ( Made with Valve's Source Engine again )
