WC: First-person shooters have been a staple of the gaming industry since id Software first popularized it with the likes of Doom and Wolfenstein. Over the years, there have been some truly genre defining games such as the Halo and Call of Duty franchises.
The games themselves emerge you in the world of the character you control. seeing everything through their eyes. The weapons as well have helped the genre to become a staple, with the devastation of the shotgun at close range to the lethal sniper if you prefer to pick your targets off at a distance, and when your ammo is all gone, you can always rely on your trusty knife or go toe to toe with your enemies and beat them to a pulp with your bare fists.
Here we count down the 20 greatest first-person shooter levels of all-time from a whole variety of genres.

Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.
I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.
I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.
Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.
Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.
Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅
I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed
No Assault on the Control Room from Halo: CE? Pfft.
