what was your favourite fps ?
 

Oldies but goldies...

Just to have a little fun. I'm not talking about all the recent games, but let's say we'll range from the release date of the first 1st person shooter game ever to 1996/97 (discarding Half-Life, then ;))

So what's the FPS game that you enjoyed the most ? What's the one that thrilled you the most ? The one that you regret the most ?

I'll speak for myself: I've never been fond of Quake... for one single reason: quake is brown. Simple. That's all shades of brown on the screen. I wonder why they didn't make this game monochrome, that wouldn't have made a big difference :D
I enjoyed Wolfeinstein 3D a lot, although the levels resembled more a maze than real FPS maps. The enemies and the sound ambience were really convincing, though... hearing some enemies scared the shit out of me each time they were waking up :P
I enjoyed Duke Nukem 3D too... shooting these pigs and hearing them scream was a lot of fun :D
But the one I enjoyed the most was Doom. Definitely. The gloomy ambience, the hellish music, that darkness, but especially that double barrel shotgun which was really able to blow enemies away. KABLAM!... and the imp collapses, projected on the wall.

Let this be a nostalgia thread. 9_9

i never really finished wolfenstein.. actually i got some idea of it having no end.. cant say WS was any of my good ol ones..
tried doom1 like once.. doom2 was more fun and i finished it 2 times before i got bored.. this was when i heard about lan games..
i played quake alot.. remember being the one who was a little late to get into lan playing.. i played single player like 4 times.. but that didnt make me ready to meet real ppl in actions.. so i got killed and feelt like a newbie when it came to it... got my first bots.. practiced.. and became leet.. but still had alot to learn..

i moved i away from cs (too long story) and playin bf1942 with mods like desert combat, wastelands and silent heroes. im not bad at it at all.. if you see me on a server i will surely be somewhere in in the top.. unless i get team killed 200 times..

my next move.. BFV..

(death to ppl who things TKs is fun!)

Doom!

Last year I've played "Doomsday", an Open-GL port of the original game, quiet amazing! 8)

Terran, have you got an URL to download Doomsday ? Is it open source ? I can't wait to play Doom on 1024x768 :D :D :D

Re: what was your favourite fps ?
 

Most of them; doom2, wolf3d and dukem nukem 3d :)
I think I liked doom 2 the most espicially the extra levels(30, 31 and 32).

Well I vote Duke Nukem 3D.
Ahhh, I played many custom maps after I was done with the SP part.
Then I got into the user files and started altering the values... I remember all the bugs and crashes that came out of our little too powerful pistol, flying enemies anyone?
