MW:O doesn't hold a candle to any of them. If you wanted to separate them into each game of a series, you're looking at 100 titles easily. All of them brought something unique to the genre in some form or another, and were considered to be the best of their respective times.
There's 33 Shooters and their collective iterations that I can think of as being the best shooters of all time. Not sure about the article and whether it's PC only or not. Ultima Underworld (not really a shooter per se)Ģ8.) Perfect Dark, if you want to include console shooters. Wolfenstein - it has to be on the list even though it is a pretty terrible game really Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Not my style but can't argue with mass market appeal - it is a slick and quality product that blends many aspects of earlier titles into a modern triple A packageġ0. Blew away its contemporaries with GFX and intense scripted sequencesĩ. Duke Nukem 3D - While technically nothing on Quake it had style and character in spadesĨ. System Shock 2 - The original was too flawed but this is in there as the second 'original' RPG shooterħ.
Battlefield 1942 - ALL modern FPS games owe their existance to this classic that introduced BIG maps and LOTS of players in ticket/cap point gameplayĦ. Halflife - Groundbreaking singleplayer campaignĥ. Quake 1&2 (again basically the same game) Impeccable weapons balance and amazing moddibility - Action Quake 2 ftw! although doesn't get the top spot because of the BROWNģ. Doom 1&2 (basically the same game) sorry Quake but Doom just did it first and had more characterĢ. And as was mentioned above, most people who are making lists in this very thread only make it to 11 or so before saying "See, there!". It's damn near at the bottom of the list. So.TLTR: In this humble gamers opinion (admittedly a BattleTech fan, though I can't quote field manuals or anything like that), I think number 19 in a PC gaming centered magazine is fair. To me the true difference between COD and Battlefield was whether I wanted to feel like I was running on crack or running through mud. PGI has shown me that I've been getting bamboozled by all of those other developers and publishers that crank out the exact same product as their competitor and slap a different name on it. And none of this is out of some "guilt" that I over payed or was bamboozled by PGI. At this point, I've learned that MWO may have most of what I'm looking for when it comes to gaming, and have even ceased looking elsewhere when it comes to FPS type games. The money that I paid to become a founder was, to me, an investment in entertainment that I have gotten back ten fold when compared to games considered true "AAA" titles. And this is a game that many in the gaming community went crazy over.īut the point is that I paid hard earned money for that game as well and don't feel that I need to "justify my purchase" by playing that awfully boring game, or even the better in my opinion game, XCOM. I still haven't beat the game, and just don't see myself going back to it at all. I played for a few hours more, and still didn't see it. I played for a few hours and didn't see it. "Is this the Future of Gaming" asked Yahoo as high scores flooded in from nearly every single reviewer. When the game finally released, I was beside myself with excitement after hearing and reading all the news about this mind blowing game. I wasn't too excited about Bioshock at all when I purchased it but after some time, with all of the hype that came with it, I decided that I was ready to experience this 10/10 that everyone was going nuts about. A game I only purchased because it came with a free copy of XCOM (a decent game, but back on the shelf as well). One notable one in particular that can serve as an example was/is Bioshock Infinite. I've purchased plenty of games that were considered AAA titles since MWO was released and many were very lackluster. I admit that I haven't played non stop since closed beta, but I DO keep coming right back to MWO. I also wanted to speak to the comment that indicated that those that are Founders HAVE to play in order to feel good about their purchase. I know that there is plenty of bias though coming from me, as I love the lore that comes with any BattleTech inspired game. Mechwarrior at least feels different when compared to the average FPS. I'd personally rank it higher, as in my opinion, most shooters are the same anyway. I feel like it's a deserved spot as well. Congratulations Dev's! Good press is always good.
