Without doubt the Top 15 Xbox 360 First Person Shooters of all time... Maybe

With an amazingly rich history that can be traced back to the mid 70's, First Person Shooters (FPSs) are without a shadow of a doubt one of the best and most exciting gaming categories ever to grace a pixel and primarily because of this, possibly one of the most controversial when it comes to picking the best of the best for any type of Top list. Feeling ever so brave or perhaps slightly suicidal, we took a shot at compiling what we think are possibly the very best FPSs ever to hit an XBOX.

[ZombieAutopsy]

should say on xbox and xbox 360

[GWAVE]

It should say "mostly multiplaform games".

[kalebgray92]

sad

[SiLeNt KNighT]

"Without doubt" ... "Maybe"?? uhh..ok

[chaosatom]

on Consoles and PC.

[mal_tez92]

But most likely it was just done by an ameteur.

[likedamaster]

Halo 3 should have been on the top, Halo 2, Halo 1 THEN Modern Warfare, etc.

This is a pc list.

[phosphor112]

1 exclusive LMAO

[yippie1234y]

gears of war...

[glennc]

3ps

[RockmanII7]

If you make a list of top 15 PS2/PS3 FPS's you would have multi-plats and PS2 titles on there too.

- On Topic -
How is Halo 2 not on there and Halo 3 at 5? Halo 2 and Halo 3 should of been #2 and #3. Remove FEAR 2/Far Cry 2 and add Halo 2/CoD: WaW for starters

[y0haN]

"Counter-Strike for Xbox is the most graphically advanced version of the game to date, showcasing the technical prowess of Xbox, including immersive and intense multiplayer action on Xbox Live."

Err, yeah, until Condition Zero and Counter-Strike Source came out, oh about 5 years ago. Not to mention CS was crap on Xbox.

Half of this list do not deserve to be here. RTCW, HL2 Xbox (put Orange Box 360 instead), CS Xbox.. awful list.

[IaMs12]

Did they ever mention exclusive?

[Scrooge]

Half life 2 was such a great game, can we all at least agree on that?

[kenjix]

Should Say Best FPS games for the Xbox are Mostly MultiPlat

[SixZeroFour]

you mean somewhere in the article it said it was top exclusive 360 fps games? (re-reading article so i dont make a fool of myself) nope couldnt find it, maybe im just blind

and are you also saying that multiplatform games arent supposed to be as good compared to console exclusive games for that matter?

[Pandamobile]

Oh god, I remember when my cousin rented HL2 for the Xbox. One of the worst port jobs I've ever seen. Not only did the game run on pretty much the lowest settings imaginable, it had a ton of framerate issues to boot.

Also, lol, 14 of the 15 games in this list are multiplatform.

[chrisulloa]

Yes because PS3 has this many good FPS games.

[cyborg6971]

Your right they do

[RockmanII7]

PS3 has Killzone and Resistance.

[SixZeroFour]

baseballfan, you were supposed to name 15 top exclusive fps games on the ps3..not just 2 :S

and dont tell me that most of the other top fps games your gunna list are multiplat, or else youll just be making a fool out of all the fanboys saying that THIS list is basically all multiplats

[bjornbear]

It says top 15 FPS ON 360 (although some are xbox released) and only consists of one exclusive, but it never said anything about exclusive FPS'...or else there'd be a much shorter list =P

[ape007]

Without doubt+maybe=???

[pshizle]

!

[kaveti6616]

:D

[Ron_Burgundy]

not even when the only genre the fpsbox 360 specializes in doesn't even have enough games to compile a list, it has to go back to xbox 1

[shutupandplay]

Not even possible to make a list for POS3.

[Lord_Ranos]

What about Killzone 2 Resistance 1 and 2 and all the multiplatforms that I can still play on my PS3 SHUTBOT.

Heck Haze>>>Halo. lol

[Saaking]

Haze wasn't as bad as everyone says. I'd say it was a 6-7 not a 4 or 5.

[shutupandplay]

Unreal Tournament 3? That`s easily one of the worst games I`ve ever played.

[kaveti6616]

shut up and play

[shutupandplay]

Lol @ all the people above acting like the ps3 has any better shooters.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

LMAO. Seriously. Just your typical sony trolls.

[swiftshot93]

Even if the only FPS's on the market were CoD4 and Biosock, PS3 would still have the best this generation has to offer. There havent been any other FPS's that better those two. And that includes Halo 3 and Killzone 2.

Edit: Killzone and Halo are great games, but they arent CoD4 or Bioshock quality. Killzone 2 has amazing graphics, great single player, multiplayer is great too, but not better than those 2. Same for Halo 3. Except Halo 3's single player sucked and graphics were only decent. It does have awesome co-op and multiplayer though.

[MattOG711]

I don't think you can say at this moment that Sony is the better FPS console. With the major support from Valve (L4D, The Orange Box=The Good Version), the yearly Halo's (Halo 3 and ODST), and getting map packs early from Infinity Ward.

While the PS3 has all the great multi-plat shooters, and their own two franchises (Killzone/Resistance). I dont think either of those are on the level of Left 4 Dead and Halo.

[swiftshot93]

I think you misunderstood. Im saying the PS3 would still have whats best because the multiplatform FPSs are the best on the market. Im saying the 360 and PS3 are equal.

Resistance makes up for L4D. Killzone for Halo. Orange Box can be played on any PC. The exclusives arent outshining the multiplatform IMO.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

The ps3's best FPS is Resistance. The sequel being the second best. A great franchise. Killzone 2 is all pretty animations with zero innovation. It's pretty much the same war shooter we have all played 1000's of times. The crap control doesn't help either. It's a boring game. It's not even at the level of Resistance. Than you have Haze. Halo 3 is considered one of the best FPS's of all time. Nobody says that about any ps3 fps.

[swiftshot93]

lol Resistance 2 sucks. If I may say, the single player was boring, and mutliplayer was fun but nothing special. Its just another generic FPS, with decent graphics.

As for Killzone 2 its a great game. I still have it actually. The single player was just exciting all around. Sure the controls were difficult to adapt to at first, but when you get used to it you realize that it works in context of the game. Multiplayer is very fun too. Not to mention this is a game that looks like a movie. Its the AAA FPS PS3 fans have been waiting for.

As for Halo 3 its solid. No where near being one of the greatest FPS of all time though. Multiplayer and co-op were great but the single player was a huge disappointment. You talk of innovation, so wheres the innvotaion in Halo 3? Forge? Not exactly a game changer and it doesnt affect gameplay at all. If anything having cover in First person is more innovative than a a simple map editor. Neither games innovate but they dont have to.

Bioshock and CoD4 are the best FPSs of this gen.

[hmmmm]

Halo 3's theatre mode is pretty innovative.

Also, didn't the party system and matchmaking start in the halo series with halo 2? fairly sure no other game had that before.

No FPS before Halo CE had vehicles so well implemented. Other things like the melee system with every gun, only being able to carry 2 guns at a time even to a point the regenerating energy shield.

and lets not forget that it has always had split screen co-op and multiplayer and with up to 4 people able to play on live with the one account it is a great game for when friends come over!

halo started many trends that are used alot today but not many people give it any credit they just hate on it which is kinda sad..(not saying ur hating on it swiftshot but you know what i mean)

[RockmanII7]

Bioshock sucked. I beat it in three days and never went back.

[SixZeroFour]

swiftshot...you were talking about innovation and fps'...what was innovative about cod4 again?

it was fun, ill give it that, but i actually got bored of it and resorted to learning glitches and doing them in game to make it fun for me again...but even then, i was done with the game and looking for something else in only about 10 months...(which i didnt even realize until my friend started questioning how long i was playing for) honestly thought it was longer than that...but i was done in 10

still looking forward to mw2...but im not holding my breathe

[jack who]

Quake 4

Deus Ex

[The Iron Sheik]

That's a nice list of mulitplats you've got there bots.

[Pirateogta]

If it was a PS3 list there would only be 1 exclusive (Killzone 2), and 14 multiplatforms.

[ambientFLIER]

1: Counter Strike on the Xbox looks like complete garbage. It's awful. Looks like a low end dreamcast game, which makes this description quite funny: "Counter-Strike for Xbox is the most graphically advanced version of the game to date, showcasing the technical prowess of Xbox, including immersive and intense multiplayer action on Xbox Live."

2: Battlefield Modern Combat was pretty bad as well, graphics wise, and enjoyment wise.

[champ21]

Its top 5 cause thats all the exclusive fps it does have.. let me lay them out for ya:

gaylo 1
gaylo 2
gaylo 3
gaylo odst

umm its 4 :P

guess what all of them got in common?

all of them are low res :P

[glennc]

disagree with Cod4. no way is that the best. if that's all you need to do to be the best we would be playing some pretty boring games. there is no innovation in it and IW are laughing their asses off, asking themselves how, all we did was move it into a modern setting, nothing else?

and why is doom 3 and quake 4 on there? Riddick was way better than doom 3, especially given that they came out at the same time.

[ambientFLIER]

No innovation? Cod4 has perks, custom classes, bullet penetration, weapon challenges and achievements, and killstreak rewards. Some of those things were done before by other games, but cod brought it all together.

[keysy420]

neds to be on this list along with wold at war

[cyberwaffles]

funny thing is that some of those games aren't that great. battlefield 2 on the 360 is NOT the same battlefield 2 on PC. its terrible. dues ex: invisible war was ok but is nothing compared to the first one. half life 2 on the xbox SUCKED compared to the PC version. counter strike on the xbox SUCKED compared to the PC version.

some serious fail games in this article.

[ambientFLIER]

Yeah, Battlefield Modern Combat sucked. However, Half Life 2 didn't suck. It was an almost perfect port, you just used a controller instead. It looked and played just as well.

[aueslander]

Tat was a pretty good FPS, but not also putting Halo 1 on here is a sham since it was better than 3.

[gameman]

more than 70% of them are already on the PS3 and also 40% of them are flops

[kasasensei]

a sad one.

[Darkseider]

You can do the same list for the most part with PS2/PS3 just drop a few of the XBox exclusive titles and substitute Resistance 1/2, Killzone 2, and Time Spiltters. There you have it! This list is just plain old fail. Not because it's XBox but because of the list itself.

[maxxb117]

Counter-Strike was crap compared to the PC version. Some of those games in that list don't belong in there, or are in the wrong order.

[taylork37]

I cant believe the absolute sh*t on this list.

Even KZ2 and Resistance 2 were better than most of these games....and they were subpar at best.

[dplayer]

Half-life 2 is great and so is the COD series.
