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?
So I just finished the Half-Life series..

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. | ||

Portal is also a good one, though there's not exactly any shooting in it. | ||

I know there are some zombie MODs for HL2 (i'm downloading "zombie panic" right now, actually) but does anyone have other recommendations? | ||

Also, in the FPS/RPG hybrid realm there's Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, which is hard IMO but really sweet (maybe I was doing it wrong). | ||

Your computer should be able to handle it. Very fun game play, beautiful settings, maybe not as "polished" as Half Life 2. | ||

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) | ||

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. | ||

Thief 2 - Ditto (lol, Looking Glass fanboy I guess). Sadly, I can't recommend Thief 3. Bioshock's shaders made me physically ill in the first ten minutes, so I don't know, it might be awesome? | ||

I really recommend the game Blood, which is pretty old, but has some incredible levels/atmoshphere. The mapmakers were incredibly good, the first level is just a prelude to things to come - the train level/fun-fair levels are one of the best I have ever played. If you are more concerned about graphics COD4 is a very nice game. Also, as suggested, please note that there are some expansion packs for HL2 (I think the first expansion is called 'episode one' - but is something completely different than the game). You could also try some Half-life 1 mods - 'Sweet half life' comes to my mind (with really, really nice levels and two different "paths"), as well as 'They Hunger' which consists of 3 episodes set up in zombie-atmosphere. The last episode is simply fantastic - you visit a psychiatric hospital and some other interesting locations. Please note that episode one of They hunger is pretty "simple" in terms of effects, but still very nice to play with (the sequels are much better). In general it was so good that they are working on a game "They hunger" for HL2. Portal is a very nice game too, although it isnt a typical FPS. | ||

Bioshock is entertaining but its unbelievably easy, the story is pretty obvious. Fallout 3 is basically single player WoW in the future with less level ups. The game is easy, you will eventually just find yourself doing endless side quests and items searches. (keep in mind I play most games on hardest mode) I'd recommend Left 4 Dead and Portal for sure. Both games are too short but really awesome. And left 4 dead is fucking hard as fuck on single player in hardest setting. (I don't think I got passed the hospital level) Part 2 is coming out in Nov. The good thing about short games though is you can speed run them and go for best times. And portal has all these crazy alternate ways to beat each level and par for each way (X amount of steps, X amount of portals, X amount of cubes, etc) but since you said your on an old comp (would help if you listed specs) I'd recommend Duke 3D and Quake if you haven't played those.
