What are good First Person Shooters from 1993 to 2003

So what are good FPS from 1993-2003. I think that most the best Fps while be on p.c. except from Goldeneye. I personally like the Solider of fortune game.

• Doom 1 and 2 / Duke Nukem 3D
• Half-Life
• Project IGI 1 and 2
• Soldier of Fortune
• Deus Ex (masterpieeeeeeece)
• Halo: Combat Evolved
• Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
• Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
• Call of Duty
• 007: Nightfire
• Return to Castle Wolfenstein
• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
• Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
• Delta Force 2 / Delta Force Urban Warfare / Delta Force Black Hawk Down
• Postal 2

@AhmadMetallic: cool choices, I used to want to play Postal 2 but I remember It kept getting bad reviews so I never got it but I kind of want to play it now.

Pretty much this. Nothing much more to add except possibly Quake.

No One Lives Forever certainly.

Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In was good too.

I'm partial to NOLF2 (A sword fight in a mobile home caught in a tornado anyone?), but I won't argue with you.

• Quake 1, 2, 3
• Unreal, UT, UT 2k4
• Operation Flashpoint
• SiN
• Star Wars:Dark Forces, Dark Forces 2
• Half-Life 2
• Counter-Strike
• Day of Defeat
• Half-Life Blue Shift
• Half-Life Opposing Force
• SWAT 3

System Shock 2 is the correct answer

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear anyone?

I was also playing TimeSplitters 2 recently, I think it qualifies as good. Too hard for me, but good.

I really liked Unreal back in the day, but I'm guessing it doesn't hold up? I guessing a lot of these don't.

Doom 
Doom II 
Duke Nukem 3D 
Quake 
Quake II 
Quake III 
Unreal Tournament 
Unreal Tournament 2003

I know he said between '93 and '03 but if we're gonna say UT2003 let's just say 2004. Better version of otherwise the exact same game. In most peoples' opinion anyway.

I didn't even really notice the "to 03" part. I wonder why he chose that year.

Marathon you guys.

I love you Mac I & II exclusives.

Most of my picks have already been posted, but come on, no one's said Battlefield 1942 yet?

I was under the impression that he wanted good singleplayer FPS games. Otherwise I would've listed the Quakes and Battlefields, but most of those multiplayer games either died or got outdone by their sequels

Yeah, I wish I'd played SS2 and NOLF back in the day, I only played them recently and couldn't get past the aging mechanics, but I could see how they were mindblowing once.

I dunno about the original Unreal, but Unreal Tournament holds up wonderfully. Maybe not in the graphics department, but in the holy shit this is fun to play department, which is where it counts.

Marathon. The sequel, especially.

@AhmadMetallic: You can totally grab some friends to play Quake III and have a fantastic time, though.

Having not played many of these games, DOOM, Quake, and Halo were my only real picks. I can't abide GoldenEye.

Fair enough, both of them are great. I just thought the humor was better in the first, while the second had better set-pieces.

@AhmadMetallic: Oh, if he was looking for something he could play now, I totally agree. I was thinking of the games that were good during that time span.

These two are men of refined taste and probably very good looking.

Possibly Quake? That's like the defining shooter of the 90s!

@MikkaQ: For you possibly. For me my memories skew more to Doom and Duke Nukem. Mostly Duke though.

@Demoskinos said:

Well it's just what everyone was playing in LANs and tourneys, and they still do today, which is pretty impressive. Most of the jargon associated with shooters came out of the Quake scene. Culturally it's impact was immense.

@MikkaQ: Oh no denial with that. Of course thats where we get like you said many of the jargon words like "frag" from. I'm just one to favor Doom or Duke over Quake.

Am I alone in thinking Nightfire is a better game than Goldeneye? Too many good memories...

Pretty much yeah.

The original Unreal absolutely holds up, one of the most atmospheric games ever and a great story with no dialogue.

No One Lives Forever 1/2 hands down

If you're interested in Doom, get the ZDoom sourceport and grab all the WAD files from Steam. Import the files and run the loaders and you've got a totally playable experience that even works great with a controller if you tweak it.

Grab the Final Doom wads as well, as those have the best level designs if you're getting bored/stuck on Doom 2's last few levels. Start with TNT Evilution though, Plutonia is for those quick-saving masochists (still pretty great)

TimeSplitters is amazing and should be played by everyone.

Put down my vote for Marathon Durandal. Pretty good game if you've got half a brain and a willingness to read. Yes, thinking and reading in a classic shooter, how 'bout that? It's also free. Legally.

How did you play them recently? I meant because they're kind of hard to find now, how did you manage it? People cite these games in the industry and I'd love to give them a go.

Daikatana

@Sploder said:

Daikatana

Yes, very underrated. I've played it twice and multiplayer is good too. I also run /r/daikatana on Reddit.

I think it's important to get to Episode 2 before dismissing it, because in order from best to worst I'd say Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 1 and Episode 4.

I get banned when I mention anything related to that subject so, hint hint.

Yes, that part was crazy :D I love NOLF 2.

Also, SS2; it's already been mentioned, but why not mention it some more.

Oh, and if you're into ultra old school FPSs, Blake Stones are pretty good (particularly the second one).

If you wanna go old-skool, check out Strife. I think this game was way ahead of its time when it comes to single player fps campaigns considering all of its competitor's goals where just "find keys/unlock exit".

Also your life is not complete unless you played Blood. Shogo is pretty freaking awesome as well despite what everyone says, just make sure you patch the damn thing or expect to be bukkaked with bugs. Goddamn Monolith can make some amazing FPS when it wants to.
