Have a soft spot for call of duty 2, but half life 2 probably wins out. Then perfect dark
At this point it will play in a dated way and if you’ve been on the internet the campaign is likely spoiled … BUT
Spec Ops: the line is a fantastic single player campaign that makes the game more than a shooter alone.
Halo 2 and 3
"Master Chief, do mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?"
"Sir, finishing this fight."
Still gives me tingles.
Giving the convent back their bomb.
Half life 2, easily. Hands down. Runner up is Black Mesa, by a slim margin.
XIII, the original version
Half-Life 2
Bioshock
Dishonored
Prey
I might have a type. Honorable mentions to Resistance: Fall of Man, Wolfenstein The New Order, and Doom 2016. Titanfall 2 was also pretty great.
I have New Order. I tried Doom reboot and lost interest in playing because of the fictional space creatures. You're the 3rd to mention Titanfall 2. I have it but played maybe an hour so I don't know it very well.
New Order does a great job of classic shooter premise mixed with some stealth and overall badassery. Doom is a little more arena style, its like you explore until you get to a big room you fight a few waves of enemies in and then rinse and repeat. The shooting and movement are fantastic though, and even exploring and looking for secrets was well done (check the map and check it again). Titanfall 2 had some solid level layouts, and the wall running while on foot mixed with mech combat was grade A. They really should have done Titanfall 3 instead of Apex, but I guess corporate saw dollar signs in the gaming as a service thing and that was that.
All three of these games absolutely nailed what is important in a shooter - the shooting. Impactful, fun, cool weapons and a whole lotta targets to hit.
God I would love a remake of Resistance. Just another game trapped on the ps3
Resistance is one I can say I haven’t played in a long time so I don’t actually know how it holds up, but I remember loving it when it came out. Cool weapons especially
Titanfall 2. Easily one of the best shooter campaigns released, with some really incredible levels. I still come back to "Effect and Cause" occasionally.
Came into this thread just to make sure it was answered with Titanfall 2. Thank you!
Also best multiplayer. Really stands out as gaming I remembered to be, looking at other titles in the samr cycle
This is the correct answer
Someone else said Ttitanfall 2, to which I replied "I have it, I have not played it through, only played half an hour to an hour, but I will trust you and play it through soon to give it a proper try"
I will watch for Effect and Cause to see what you like about it so much.
