Hurlshort Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I'll second Republic Commando. Fantastic story and characters to go along with a pretty easy to use squad control system.
Magister Lajciak Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Cheers guys! Keep it coming. Also, mention any old FPS's as well if you could. Like Heretic 2, NOLF1, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Descent 3. Why? Because I need some games that run on Ubuntu through WINE, and old games are more likely to run. I am not much of a shooter guy, but even I enjoyed some multiplayer UT 2004. I would recommend you try it, or perhaps the new version of the game which has recently been released.
Purkake Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Well, if you want OLD then try Duke Nukem 3d that was pretty fun. Deus Ex was kinda FPS-y if you haven't played that. And try Jedi Knight: Dark forces that was good as well.
Magister Lajciak Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Well, if you want really old, try Doom 1 & 2 and Wolfenstein!
Theseus Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Unreal Tournament 2004 In fact, that is the only FPS I have played anytime during the past 3-4 or maybe even 5 years. I second this choice UT2K4 This game rocks. Unfortunatly when i go online i dont find as big of a community as before UT3. I tried UT3 and that blew. Ut3 was meant for consoles, and the weapons of choice were lacking. I dont recommend it No One Lives Forever 1 was great too! I love the story monoloth gives this series! I hope they make another one! Far Cry Fear was pretty cool. I actually liked Doom3, i added a couple mods like the flashlight mod. It was entertaining to me.
Darth Jebus Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Wait, Jedi Academy is an FPS? I must be retarded, because I though FPS stood for First Person Shooter. I played JA entirely with third person view. With a lightsaber.
Aristes Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 You could play hitman in FPS mode, but running through that like a shooter is a waste of the game.

Gorth Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Well, if you want really old, try Doom 1 & 2 and Wolfenstein! Nothing beats Quake 2 for old school FPS action. Whether it be the single player campaign or just blowing up your best friends “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Magister Lajciak Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Well, if you want really old, try Doom 1 & 2 and Wolfenstein! Nothing beats Quake 2 for old school FPS action. Whether it be the single player campaign or just blowing up your best friends I have never played Quake 2 to be honest. The first FPS I have ever played was Wolfenstein, then DOOM and then DOOM 2 and then there was a long lull before I played any more FPS games.
Pidesco Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Well, if you want really old, try Doom 1 & 2 and Wolfenstein! Nothing beats Quake 2 for old school FPS action. Whether it be the single player campaign or just blowing up your best friends I always thought Quake 2 was the bastard stepchild of the series. I haven't played Quake 4, though. Quake 1 is still my favourite FPS for multiplayer, at least as far as memories go. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Humodour Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 I'm playing Quake 2 now (just cause it runs on Ubuntu), but I don't have the original CD, hence no in-game music.
Theseus Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Whats do you guys think the best Online FPS is which in turn also has a good online community. I personally LOVE Unreal Tourny 2004 but the online community is scarce and i cant even find a generic Team dethmatch anymore since UT3 came on the scene and did it in. I really like fast paced twitch games like UT2004. any recommendations at all? Edited November 9, 2008 by Theseus
Strix Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Wait, Jedi Academy is an FPS? I must be retarded, because I though FPS stood for First Person Shooter. I played JA entirely with third person view. With a lightsaber. You could play in first or third person.
Shryke Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 if you want old school, why not Rise of the Triad? when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Calax Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Wait, Jedi Academy is an FPS? I must be retarded, because I though FPS stood for First Person Shooter. I played JA entirely with third person view. With a lightsaber. You could play in first or third person. generally when you whipped out your saber it would jump to a third person camera.

I remember guns being pretty worthless in that game. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
