I love FPS games (remember FPS Doug?)

I love the Halo games (yet to play H3) and Doom3

I loved the Quake games back in the day, and I remember Half Life was along those lines but never played it.

I searched for "xbox 360 best fps games" and

The Orange Box came up.

Looks like you get a few HL type games on one disc.

Anyone play this, or the Half Life games?  Were they good?

Half-life is excellent.  Not sure how the graphics will look on an X-box.

If you can, try and track down a copy of bioshock.  [thumbsup]

Bioshock was excellent. Along those lines, if you missed playing, and can track down a copy of System Shock 2 it's amazing. The graphics will look like crap, and good luck getting it to run on something, but it's one of the best games I've ever played.

Half Life and Half Life 2 were great. Never played Portal, but I hear fun things.

I played the shit out of Team Fortress on QuakeWorld, back in the day, but have never played TF2. I have friends who say good things, though.

If you like FPS Half Life Orange box is a must buy!!!

Looks really decent on the Xbox.

Portal is amazing. Addicting puzzle game with witty humor on the way. One of the best video game endings of all time IMO.

Half Life was GREAT!!! I will always be a fan of Doom 1-3.  Castle Wolfenstein wasn't bad either.  Pretty sure they remade it later w/ better graphics and such.

I do have Bioshock and it was awesome!

Sounds like I should orange box. It was pretty cheap on amazon too [thumbsup]

Doom 3 was great too!  Very tense game. Very intense game.

So what other fps games are must haves?

Doom 2 FTW!

COD5  [evil]

lol  [thumbsup]

fear 2 is pretty insane... COD4, 5... halo 3 was fun

I could never wrap my brain around crysis, but it was still interesting

I just picked up Halo 3: ODST.
By far my favorite shooter yet. And yes, I have played HalfLife & HL2, etc. etc.
If you're on a 360, get ODST, you won't be disappointed.

For the cost, probably can't beat the Orange Box. If you get it, be sure to play portal and take some time to listen to what the computer is saying in the levels, you'll get some laughs

I've been an avid FPS player since ~ '97 or so.  LOVED all the quake games, the DOOMs, ok pretty much all the id software titles.  Also really enjoyed other titles such as the serious sam games, soldier of fortune, painkiller, etc.  I like FPSs. 

Anyways, I remember half-life being lauded as such a great game and such back in its day, but for some reason or another I overlooked it.  It wasn't until I was gifted a copy of half-life2 that I got to experience crow-barring my way through the combine invasion.  Holy shit, this was the best FPS experience ever.  one of the only games I've ever played through more than 2 times.  The pacing and presentation and storyline are all top-notch.  episode 1 and episode 2 maintain these great qualities.  it was enough to make me go ahead and buy a copy of the original half-life, which in itself turned out to be a great game, especially considering the point in time in which it came out.

If you like FPS games, and have never played half-life, you must, MUST get the orange box.

Done with ODST. Can't wait for CoD MW2. I'm still playing CoD4. WaW was ok. I'm always up to play some fire fight in ODST. Drop me a friend's invite "DucatiRican".

My gold account expire last month, i have another 3 month card, i'll be signing back up shortly...

Heh, my live name is Monsterbunny

;D

So you're interested in this (http://www.big-bunny.com/episodes.htm)?

Xbox live?

Yes.

I live on it in the winter.

I haven't played live with the 360 yet though, just H2 with the regular xbox

I've been kicking around picking up a 360 for this winter, and ODST is the reason....

(especially if the SO makes good on her threat of making me get ride of my bike after my recent near-death experience  :-\ )

Orange box is good. I'd play on the PC if I had the choice between PC or console, though.

I sent you ladies a friend's request.

You should check out some of the old school spin offs from Half Life like Blue Shift.

Yeah graphics are old looking but some of the best A.I. you will ever encounter up to date.

My local target has the orange box for 20 bucks new. One of the best deals ever. My brothers and I play TF2 at least twice a week (they live 2 hours away).

Hit me up on live if you pick it up..... (Dagsshadow)

FYI I have a live acct, but I probably wont be on it for a bit so don't be surprised if I don't respond to a friend req. right off the bat

:D

+1 on the Orange Box. You won't be disappointed.
Question for some of the ODST owners: Is it any good as a 1 player game or is it at it's best as a multiplayer platform?

Multi player is the same as the regular Halo 3, even though they separated it into another disk. Single player was very good. You can also do campaign coop and firefight, which is like Nazi Zombies on CoD WaW, but with more maps.

Sounds great. Picking it up today!
Sorry for the threadjack.

Not really threadjack.
