Best Shooter ever

I would say the original Doom back in '93, that was something. Sitting in a room with your pals connected directly. I believe it was the first "3d" fps networking game - or at least the first one that was worth playing.

Winter War WWII FPS is a must. Hopefully someone will make it someday. Especially northern Carelia setting with ambushing whole Soviet Batallions with Finnish ski troops.

Anyone play S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl?

The Grittiness of the game is it's best selling point especially when you enter Berlin and capture the Reichstag. I remember sniping a German in the arm and the arm blew off, the game is very dark but that's how WWII was, 60 million dead.

This is kind of personal but my grandfather has a story of when he was with the the 7th armored in the Ruhr valley. It was some town theyu were clearing and he came across a young hitler youth pointing a gun at him, he shot first and has never forgiven himself for it and still keeps the armband. I always beleive regardless of who it is if you aim a gun a me and I don't know you, i'm going to shoot it was either his life or the kid's.

What do you guys think about COD 5?, I still think Infinity Ward should have done it, Treyarch just needs to do something else. There is good news I read that Infinity is working on COD 6. I got the game on tuesday and it was great but the whole WWII FPS is just getting old.

There was also the somewhat obscure Duke Nukem 3D-clone titled Shadow Warrior. I suppose it was kind of a stupid game, but you could surprise naked anime chicks on the potty who got so upset they pulled out an uzi and started firing.

Another fun one was Redneck Rampage, where you played a drunken southerner with a shotgun roaming around the countryside.

I tend to enjoy these quirky games more than the endless space marine-clones, although they don't make much else these days.

I like M-4 carbine, but anything will do really

The best shooter? John Wayne of course with Clint Eastwood as a close second yuk yuk yuk I'm sorry I couldn't resist 

Unreal Tournament for me as well.

Where is Counter Strike? It's propbaly the most legendary FPS ever, even if it's not the best.

COD4 is good but has no athmosphere. I prefer F.E.A.R., Quake 4 and the new Dead Space.
