What got you into first person shooters?

[Joshmeister]

Instead of what your first game was, what game(s) introduced you to 1st-person shooters like cod or et?

 

 

I'll start-

 

My very first shooter was a game was SMASH, a sub-game of Arcade Party Pack for the original PlayStation.  Then, as i got a little older, i started to play my favorite game of all time, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and my dad got me into his favorite game of all time Unreal Tournament...  yes, a little kid shouldn't be playing unreal tournament .   That got me into big name shooters like the original ET, cod and bf.

Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, Duke Nukem, those would be some of my firsts.

 

What really got me into the genre was probably the N64 era FPS games. I played Turok 2 a lot. I still remember the damn cheat code BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND. Probably my favorite shooter from back then. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are close seconds. Hexen and Quake 64 were great too.

 

After Ps2 came out I really got into games like killzone, operation snowblind, return to castle wolfenstein.

 

I'm pretty sure it was Wolfenstein Enemy Territory that got me into online competitive FPS. I used to play the shit out of Killzone with 16 bots, but it wasn't the same. After Enemy Territory, a whole new world of gaming opened up my life.

Turok was a very nice game and my first game too, then the secend game was ET for life

Halo and GTA are what got me hooked. I wasn't to 'into' multiplayer gaming until I checked out Urban Terror, which has lead me to ET, Battlefield, etc.

Like SID I started with DOOM and Wolfenstein, Can't recall if there were fps games on 64 Floppy Disks ) later, Medal Of Honour and others I can't recall. Once I discovered E.T I never looked back. I did have a very short spell of Soldier Front but it didn't cut it for me. I've checked out loads of others out of curiosity but E.T gives me what I need. Rage, Joy, Heart Racing, Friends, Enemies.

UT 2003! In my top 3 favorite games of all times, I don't think I even would have started to play ET if my UT 2003 CDs were still running. Started to play it...well...in 2003 (or early 2004), my father gave it to me several years later. It was a great fps, addicting and epic, almost as good as ET if not as good as ET Thought about buying it, but the servers seem down =/

All the talk about Call of duty when I first entered 6th grade. I bought Finest Hour and COD: 2 Big red one to see how it was and I beat them. Then i started getting super addicted to it. sold my PSP my PS2 and every video game I had, bought a PS3 in 7th grade, got all the CODS and OWNED the lobby and had very GREAT times with friends up until Ghost. Was fun, now i just play ET, COD multiplayer was crap when black ops 2 came out. Might just sell my PS3 for money now or save up for a PS4 and play Gran turismo and RPGs on that chiz!

[Joshmeister]

 and play Gran turismo and RPGs on that chiz!

Gran Turismo on PS1 is an amazing game

At my school back in 2003, me and some friends used to sometimes play Counter-Strike 1.6 in our computer lab during lunch breaks (we had 1 hour free).  Most of us were still new to fps games at the time, except one friend - he kinda owned everyone.  He was telling us how he's been playing this free game at home called Wolfenstein.  And that's how I discovered ET lol.

Doom , Quake 3, UT2003

The first fps I prolly ever played was Goldeneye for N64 but the original Unreal Tournament was what made me really get into shooters.

Still to this day my favorite fps ever
