Steelflight-Rx United States1389 Posts September 26 2009 19:07 GMT #1 I just finished playing through half life, and man. what a let down. I mean, the games were awesome, but it just feels like such a cliff hanger, and i really want more! But the real reason for this post is that I'm in the market for a new single player FPS, and I'm not sure what to get. I'm running on a pretty old computer, so I'm thinking HL2 is about as much as my system can handle. What are some of your favorite FPS games?

Ingenol United States1328 Posts September 26 2009 19:11 GMT #3 HALO PC perhaps? Painkiller is also fun if you like just mowing down shittons of enemies. Edit: also if you like kind of RPG/FPS hybrids (and be warned there isn't a ton of combat in these) you could try Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. It's made on the Source engine and you can play in first- or third-person views. It's fun but be warned if you try to play it on 64-bit operating systems (or even with >2 GB of system RAM I believe), you have to use patches to get it to run.

Sadistx Zimbabwe5568 Posts September 26 2009 19:14 GMT #4 Honestly Halo 1 is one of my favorite fps. There's nothing more satisfying than sticking a grenade to a sleeping enemy and watching them fly 50 feet in the air. Also the only fps I ever beat more than once, all the others are just too boring to bother. PS: lol ^ what are the odds.

Alur Denmark3900 Posts September 26 2009 19:14 GMT #5 If you can live with outdated graphics then play Deus Ex (first one, i dont know about the rest), i've been playing it recently as a matter of fact - and it's awesome.

Thratur Canada917 Posts September 26 2009 19:16 GMT #7 Bioshock

Realpenguin 8253 Posts September 26 2009 19:20 GMT #8 CoD4's singleplayer was "good" I guess, CoD5 was just "lol" though. Portal is also a good one, though there's not exactly any shooting in it.

Steelflight-Rx United States1389 Posts September 26 2009 19:32 GMT #10 Portal is definitely an awesome game, but I'd really like some cool zombie shooters (L4D won't work, it's too new) I know there are some zombie MODs for HL2 (i'm downloading "zombie panic" right now, actually) but does anyone have other recommendations?

Jonoman92 United States9106 Posts September 26 2009 19:47 GMT #12 My favorite FPS for the computer is Bioshock. Bioshock 2 should be coming out in the first half of 2010, it got delayed just like sc2 though because it was supposed to come out 2nd half of 2009.

Kennigit Canada19447 Posts September 26 2009 19:47 GMT #13 You realize there is another episode right?

Nebula England780 Posts September 26 2009 20:11 GMT #14 Play the STALKER games. Granted, they're a little rough around the edge, but there's a decent amount of mods to fix practically any gripes you have with the game. It's not your typical linear shooter though, and it's difficulty curve is pretty high. You should really give it a shot, top notch graphics/atmosphere really add to the immersion.

phosphorylation United States2935 Posts September 26 2009 20:18 GMT #15 Far Cry Your computer should be able to handle it. Very fun game play, beautiful settings, maybe not as "polished" as Half Life 2.

SwEEt[TearS] Canada1575 Posts September 26 2009 20:33 GMT #16 I had a lot of fun playing through HL2 ^^ wish there was some multiplayer mode but ohwell t_t fun fps hmmm Far Cry CoD4 (great singleplayer imo, multiplayer is kinda a campfest but w/e) CoD5 (multiplayer is somewhat balanced tbh) Insurgency (lol wtf? CS or HL mod, got it through stream it's not bad but it's hard to get games) TF2 Portal (not really a shooter but it was very fun to play)

Vedic United States582 Posts September 26 2009 20:45 GMT #17 I don't know if your computer is equipped for it, but Bioshock is a wonderful singleplayer game.

Spazer Canada8033 Posts September 26 2009 20:51 GMT #18 The Marathon series isn't half bad. The games are ancient so the graphics are pretty crappy, but the story is still top notch.

nofAcedAgent United States952 Posts September 26 2009 20:51 GMT #19 System Shock 2 (..yes Bioshock too, meh) Deus Ex (my personal favorite) Arx Fatalis (FPS Fantasy RPG, highly recomended) Vampire Bloodlines Stalker (great atmosphere. gameplay wtf broken? Have not tried mods - need to, really wanted to like this game) Hitman Series (Ok these are 3rd person) Portal (!) No One Lives Forever series As Kennigit said, you did play through the two episodes yeah? I assume yes since I agree the cliff hanger on episode 2 was epic. I personally thought ep 2 was vastly superior to the HL2 and ep 1.
