What game is the best shooter ever???
The original killzone was pretty awesome but its poor AI held it back so I'm gonna go with Half Life 2 just a smidge over COD4 because i enjoyed playing it so much more.
PC -
Uh, I'd say my favorite shooter of the last 7 years or so would have to be Half Life 2. I just loved the atmosphere, story, guns, everything really. I really wish I had played the first Half Life, but I was only 12 or so when it came out so I missed it... then after Half Life 2 I tried playing it.. but didn't get through the whole thing.
Anyways, a close tie for second would be F.E.A.R and Bioshock - I really got immersed into both those games. Doom 3 was fun but I never managed to actually sit down and finish the game... And of course Episode 1 and 2 for Half Life 2 are great, though a little short.
Third is Far Cry.
Console (multi-player)
I loved the Timesplitters games, especially Timesplitters 3, and found them to be the best multiplayer experience (having never got a XBox or 360, I haven't played Halo too much) I had had at that point since Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
Goldeneye and Perfect Dark I think take the cake for the most fun shooters ever for me... I think it was the fact that they were relatively revolutionary for their time (graphics, 4 player split screen, so many crazy, new guns) that really makes them stand out as classics now. The single player was solid in both games, and at least in Goldeneye presented challenges and awards for doing well that carried over into multiplayer. And what a multiplayer it was... Still my 2 favorite and probably 'most played' multiplayer shooters ever!
As far as how all games stack up to date, not keeping in mind how great they were for their time, my top shooters are FEAR and Crysis. Crysis has some very tactical and intense firefights, and the nanosuit and sandbox nature of the game allows you to play the game many different ways. FEAR, while repetetive, has some very exciting gunplay, amazing AI, and the slow-mo is awesome.
