  • Halo Is good because it came out first and that makes it good? In my OPINION the game I liked the best is battlefield franchise. It requires skill, people on the game don't fuckin trashtalk there own godamn team. I never really had a problem with battlefield.

    Remeber this is MY OPINION I bet theres gonna be that one dumbass who replies with hate and or proveing me wrong with my own opinion.

  • The problem with today's FPSes are that they're designed for online multiplayer, and become obsolete a year later when the latest game comes out.

  • CS created team based FPS... why does it matter what engine it used. Halo is probably the best build FPS for a console if thats what you are getting at, but it really didnt change much if anything as far as FPS goes, and little boys don't play CS lol, they play halo or cod, basically anything on a console. Doom made way for the FPS genre, but it wasn't even real 3D, the first 3d fps i played was Quake 1, and if you played games during that time you would know that HL did trully change things.

  • Aaaaaaahh memory's :)

  • Yeah, like Adrenaline said, halo started the revolution of FPS games, which brought us Mass Effect, Gears of War, and a slew of other games, including cod.

  • Forgot Mazewar bro

  • @HaVoKoSb half life 2 isn't a mod

  • Unreal deserves a lot better video. :/

  • counter strike 1998 is no different than counter strike 1.6

  • quakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • halo was the reason why xbox was made and the only fps i played from that is halo series and cod but cod fucking sucks balls now here come the fan boys omg why you hate cod its way better fuck you and your halo bull shit with master chief i mean wtf a armor suit so not realistic yea no fuck its in the future and so a mini map and a heart beat sensor is realistic?

  • @zitar11 unrealistic is trying to read what you just wrote without breathing. Use punctuation marks...

  • The story as it is so far:

    1. ID started the true fps what it is today

    2. Halo was the first revolutionary fps with the features in all current fps games

    3. We have several branches

    a) good stuff, crysis, deus ex, doom 3, quake, ArmA, bioshock, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Flashpoint etc.

    b) half/fps stuff, this includes several games that have both fps and 3rd person view like deus ex

    c) we have bullshit like COD and Battlefield bought by children who imagine that headshoting online makes them cool.

  • @Adrenalin844 i may be a bit off here by saying that quake had more affect and features than any other fps could ever. aside from doom, quake could be heavily modified. there were insane amounts of mods that even took the shooting out of first person shooting. i don't recall any other games around that time that had capture the flag, team fortress, the grappling hook, co-op, hell, from what i recall aside from unreal tournament's assault, it all came from quake. what about halo?

  • @Rudywtf Halo only polished up things added the simmilarities to current fps games, all the other games started the stuff.

  • @Adrenalin844

    don't you dare leave out the Tribes series... And Halo has all the "features"? What do you mean? Also, what's so bad about Battlefield? I've played it for maybe around 100 hours then got bored, and I am currently playing Tribes: Ascend, but what do you think is so bad about Battlefield? I don't think Halo is significantly better... better, but not significantly (I played hundreds of hours of Halo PC in a league)

  • @Nuhjeea Tribes? wtf...

    Yup, before halo fps games were mostly like doom and quake, with a gun sticking out in the middle looking funny, it evolved gaming to what it is today... Battlefield is just a branch of gaming, the lame one in my opinion, if it comes to real realism, battlefield gets knocked away a thousand miles with ArmA and Flashpoint standing in the way.

  • @Adrenalin844

    Halo is too much hit scan... are you putting down Tribes or do you not know what it is? Because it is definitely one of the most revolutionary shooters... Halo ripped off Tribes.. just look up Tribes

  • @Nuhjeea I've never heard of tribes, but it really can't be a mother to halo since it was made by the same gaming studio and they both came out at the same time, all of else, at that time halo was the game everyone played for fps, me too, i was 15 when the first halo came out, i remember sitting days and nights near my xbox with my eyes poking out and melting at the screen, you probably don't know how crowded the MP servers were when halo came out, the only good fps games are the first.

  • @Adrenalin844 Halo and Marathon are da best!

  • @Adrenalin844

    I never took Halo seriously on the xbox when it first came out... but I played Halo PC religiously when it came out and it was pretty competitive. I'm not saying Halo wasn't a fun game. I loved it. But Tribes came out in 1998 and Halo came out in 2001. If you don't know about Tribes, I highly recommend checking the game out and even playing the new one that came out and is free to play. PC gamers only. Tribes not only heavily influenced Halo but the whole FPS genre.

  • @Adrenalin844

    Oh and they were made by different gaming studios; I don't know what you mean. Halo by Bungie and Tribes by Dynamix/Sierra Entertainment. And you may have been too young for the revolutionary original Tribes MP experience on PC... even I was too young, but I got into FPS when I was really young because of my older cousin which is why I know about the amazing Tribes series.

  • @Nuhjeea I guess everyone has their opinion and i won't argue about it since there is no point, but you can't deny, halo did a big difference in fps gaming.

  • @Adrenalin844 you eat da poopoo?

  • @xGKxHaZaRdZ ... If your comment is supposed to make any sense then you failed to do so...

  • @Adrenalin844 No, It isn't supposed to mean anything I am just bored.

  • @xGKxHaZaRdZ riiiiight...

  • @Adrenalin844

    ARE YOU SURE HALO was the FIRST???

    Why Halo was first? I know Halo have VERY good graphics in that, Press to throw grenade/Melee button, 2 weapons switching. But what about Half Life(Or Quake/Perfect Dark) Where you can use mouse or joystick to look up and down? Why it is not consider revolutionary?

  • @Adrenalin844

    Halo wasn't revolutionary in the slightest - it was just the first FPS to be dumbed down with consoles in mind. Doom 3 was just a over-glorified tech demo that sucked as a game. However, the stuff about Call of Duty and Battlefield is very true through.

  • @sankunsama Halo started all the console fps nowday, xbox more probably because it was created for the game in the first place. Doom 3 is a real shooter, no bullcrap like cod trying to be a good story and all that, but simply shooting your way through everything, i liked doom 2 the most though.

  • @Adrenalin844 LOL, "Battlefield" is not for children, you fucking idiot. It actually requires a little something called "teamwork".

  • @Markunator Battlefield teamwork? Go play ArmA or Flashpoint and only then talk about teamwork and realism ^^

  • @Adrenalin844 There is teamwork in "Battlefield". There always has been.

  • @Markunator Oh, well then there's as much teamwork in it as there is in cod, it's just a dumb shooter, it's not realistic at all, the only good one was battlefield 2, all the others are crap.

  • @Adrenalin844 CoD doesn't include the ability to heal, revive or resupply your teammates, not does it include vehicles. Stop talking out of your ass, or I'm done talking to you.

  • Dosen't include ability to heal? In both games health regen starts after a few seconds, 1st fail, in battlefield you can revive with defibs, but it is totally unrealistic because they won't do shit if you are actually shot, 2nd fail, duh? Resupply exists in both games, have you even played them both? 3rd fail. Cod does not include vehicles? You REALLY have not played the game. COD and BF are same bullshit trying to best each other and becoming more shitty with each one released.

  • @Adrenalin844 *sigh* "Battlefield" still has far more teamwork than CoD. And when I said vehicles, I meant DRIVEABLE vehicles, you fucking moron. Jesus Christ, you're dumb.

  • @Markunator Both games have as much teamwork as a camels buttcheeks. Driveable vehicles? Dude, you can drive in both games, you really are just a fanboy of battlefield and i am not defending cod, i am saying that both games suck, so you don't get the whole context, so who's the dumb one here? Go play some ArmA 2 online and shit yourself a few times on the case with the battlefield disc before you talk about teamwork and realism.

  • @Adrenalin844 Halo... Sigh.. kids these days. The revolutionary games were Counter-Strike, Quake, and Unreal as far as Multiplayer goes. Halo is a little kids game, when it comes to skill, though it could be fun. Also Halo was pretty much a rip off of Unreal for a console. Games that require the most skill are by far CS, Quake and Unreal. On the single player side the most revolutionary of them all is Half-Life, just hands down. If you wanna go further back - Wolfstein, Doom followed by Quake 1.

  • @LcDog316 Halo was one of the first fps games created for personal use with xbox, it featured a brand new start of fps gaming what you see these days, elements of dumb stuff like cod. Btw, counter strike is a piece of trash :)

  • @Adrenalin844 FPS for console is shit to begin with, every modern fps is trash because it is primarily build for console and revolves around the 'fun' side, when those games are ported on the PC, any amateur CS or Quake player will make the game alot less fun for you. Halo only exists because of Unreal and Quake, games like COD exist only because of CS. Games like CS and StarCraft are till this day the standard in tournaments for FPS and RTS and they came out in the 90s. Have fun with your XBox.

  • @LcDog316 All about you revolves around CS, you seem to be another little boy shooting heads nonstop, CS is nothing but half life, Check the history, halo is the exact crap we see today in all fps games yet most people are happy with it, doom was the one that totally changed the fps what it is today, backed by wolfenstein and marathon, which gave a start to half life that was only a barrier, then halo came, wow, a first revolutionary game for consoles, and no, i don't have no xbox ^^

  • @Adrenalin844 And don't call me a little boy lol. You don't know shit about me.

  • @LcDog316 As much as you don't about me, wasting my precious time, i got jobs you know, there it is, medieval 2 total war waiting in the background, what a great game, no fps shit will beat it.

  • u didn't add in turok rage wars a game from 1996

  • Cod 2 for the gamecube!

  • TE falto Maze War NOOB

  • song name?

  • O, mention hl2 but don't mention its mod cs 1.6 that pioneered e sports easily the biggest piece of history in the story

  • @HaVoKoSb lol yes he mentions?

  • it was st its best between 1997-2001. FACT

  • You completely forgot the Medal of Honor series, which was the first FPS to take on the WWII genre.

  • @CurtisMcCrea err that was wolfenstien. I think moh was a step forward in fps for something though, can't remember what it was.

  • @ivstuntman yes, in pure unfettered Nazi Slaughter... that was the time when Nazis suddenly experienced massive casaulties

  • where is tema fortress 2 ?ß :D

    and serious sam 2

  • It all happened so fast...

  • battle zone for atari 2600 was the first console fps

  • dude, Maze War, 1974. the first fps ever

  • @fedekr yes that was the first ''first person'' game ever but it wasn't a shooter. to be a shooter you have to able to shoot guns.

  • @MrDahlas i think that in maze war you shoot something (idk what the hell is shot, it's not a gun per se) to the rival eyeball, i'll be checking that.

    either way, i thought it would be cool to include it since it was important to the genre, i guess

  • lolcrysis

  • Deus Ex, Nuff said.

  • halo was frist made 1970

  • so many errors in this vid that the user shouldn't have made it. And ill bet he used a mac to make it, since thats his name

  • MW3 '1987'

  • maze wars was the first FPS

  • was about to snap if i didnt see the original FEAR in there somewhere lol.

  • you forgot maze war the first FPS ever made

  • @steve122288 ALSO, WHAT ABOUT MECHWARRIOR, HEAVY GEAR, STARSEIGE, OR TRIBES? LEARN UR OPEN WORLD 90'S SHOOTERS NUB!

  • @steve122288 NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER GOOD DOS FPS GAMES U MISSED! SILLY SILLY NUB! (not that you would even know what MSDOS is!)

  • @steve122288

    dude, don't rape the caps-lock key on your Keyboard O.o

  • Halo 1 may have beaten Metroid Prime to the punch, but Prime was STILL better.

  • @Vader3123 no it wasnt.

  • @GraveUypo yes it was.

  • @Vader3123 you're mistaken.

  • @GraveUypo no u

  • what about maze war? it was the very first.

  • Don't continue it, it starts to go wrong when call of duty 4 comes out!

  • metroid prime series is the best series to ever come out fuck battle feild abd call of duty they lack storyline abd good music metroid had that and did it in an amasing way who cares about graphics when u haye the most epic game series ever created

  • you dont have the good version of the list

  • css???? dod source??? zp source???

  • @gamerzplace001 facepalm,those were just remakes into the source engine,nothing new...

  • @todamam66667 aw...

  • I can't believe Halo came out in 2001, it doesn't seem that old.

  • this covers all the finer points

  • No MoH:AA ? (2002) that's just lame..

  • Chasm: The Rift

  • Comment removed

  • I would just like to say, Marathon ftw! And im kinda disappointed i didnt see Marathon Infinity in the mix :(

  • The first ever FPS I played was Battlefield 2......for like a minute.....

  • Yeah Unreal was the biggest jump from the 2d games to 3d games... its kind of out of the picture these days... definitely wish it meant more to people. Good video man!

  • Best fucking video game history video, good job applemctom! You included the most powerful beginnings of our games today! I'm mainly concerned you showed Duke Nukem' and Unreal the original. I remember when I was like six, I went over to a friends house in upstate... and every year i'd swim at his pool... well we played Duke Nukem, first shooter game i've ever played. And then I saw my brother and his friend playing Unreal I believe on the computer. Rare memories of those times... time gos on

  • @xXBlu3Haz3Xx oh i remember the flyby demo on unreal, i finished the game on a pentium mmx 233mhz without a 3d accelerator, then i got a p2 400mhz with a voodoo2 and that flyby with those reflective floor tiles and texture smoothing AND 60fps was jawdropping. i think it was the game that impressed me the most graphically in my entire life.

  • Quake Wars was Awesomesauce

  • i did want to watch this too.. but you know the music and that jjust killed the need to care about the vid

  • I was waiting to see Blood (1997) and Time splitters (2000) here, but guess theyre not that known. I remember buying Metroid Prime along with gamecube in 2002, has the time seriously flied by so fast? :(

  • You have omitted one quite important game PainKiller

  • LOL at the guys below sayin u forgot games that actualy WERE in the video xD

  • Is that a stormtroper at 0:26? o_O

  • @smileyking96

    XDXDXD Yeah I think it is! XD

  • you forgot epic sierras AvP 2 and HALO is for consoles... so.... and good and bad =)

  • @darkhoras Halo is a first person shooter... "History of First Person Shooters"

  • @darkhoras Halo games have been released on PC...

  • good selection

  • Where's time splitters?

  • You forgot the Turok series!

  • @EricSchwin22 no turok 1 was in the video

  • @DonLukGamer its there at 2:38

  • why is timeshift on this list? its a terrible game

  • @DonLukGamer It's so overrated no one gives a damn

  • What do all of these games have in common...? Most of them are fantastic, which goes to show that FPSs are the most enjoyable type of games. What a concept!

  • Jesus.. 1995 Terminator Future Shock from bethesda is not in your list? Epic fail.

  • No Mazewar or Spasim?

  • How could you forget TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!!!!!!

  • you forgot blood pc 1997

  • I think you forgot half life 2 episode 1

  • I love how as the years pass by in this video, the graphics get better and more intense looking experience. Awesome job on history of FPS!

  • Deus Ex is not sctrictly an FPS ...

    Play it and you will discover why ... it you can last for about 5 minutes like if you were at a Quake 3 arena match ...

  • I'm missing the very first first-person-shooter, Maze War (developed in 1973 btw).

  • postal ? ;/

  • With this shit quality everything looks the same. Crap video.

  • u can clearly see that cod4 was revolutionary

  • halo wasent made in 2001 it was made in 1999-2000 :P

  • @Christian9484 yes, but it goes in release date order.

  • XD the monster of half-Life is dancing !!! at 0:52

  • you forgot red faction (2001)

  • man and no one will ever put in kingping life of crime that game was the best in like 1999 or somthing like that

  • As well as AvP 1 & 2

  • Thought Medal of Honour: Frontline would have a place here.

  • you forgot doom 64 and doom 1 and final doom

  • Ah half life... great game series...

  • medal of honor 1999??? wtf it was 2002

  • @Geschlechtsvolzieher I think that was M.O.H. Frontline. that came out in 2002

  • battlefield bad company series is the reason the i dont play battlefield (srry for the random comment

  • you forgot all ghost recon saga

  • @efrainc23 All Ghost Recon Saga??? Dude, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter isn't in 3rd person shooter.

  • @The123456dudu but I never said that, all ghost recon in the very beginning were 1st person shooter, like a reinbow six improvement

  • @efrainc23 rainbow 6 raven shield beats anything in the ghost recon series. and the splinter cell series for that matter

  • @efrainc23 ghost recon sucks

  • @TheMrRobdawg then go play cod u kid, ghost recon it's not about gun & run, u need to think to play ghost recon... not like cod

  • @efrainc23 ya not every game ever made is up there

  • @efrainc23 TRUTH!!! plus shadow warrior, hexen, mechwarrior, heavy gear, starseige, tribes, delta force, delta force 2, delta force black hawk down, joint operations typhoon rising, chronicles of riddick, and probably a bunch of other first person shooters!

  • @efrainc23 ghost recon isnt a fps it a third person shooter

  • BF2!!

  • i hate the modern cods but i gotta admit it cod 2 was the shit back in the day

  • Half Life 2 kicks ass

  • You know what I hate? that ID claims to have invented the genre when there were hundereds of FPS games out before wolfenstein 3D

  • @donkeykonga527

    Errr no there weren't hundreds, but there certainly were FPS games as far back as 1974. Some notable FPS games from before Wolf 3D is Catacombs (1991), Maze War (1974), and Battlezone (1980). Having said that Wolf 3D is the one that set the true basis for an FPS - much like Dune 2 did for the RTS genre, it wasn't the first but it's been the basis for the RTS genre ever since.

  • decent? would'nt that be a space flight sim?

  • MAXIMUM Game

  • you forgot kings field, echo night, star wars... and more but still nice

  • So did anyone else notice that the Half Life 2 Footage was from Half-Life 2 Episode 2... which came out in 2007 not 2004?

  • I like the half life but ... .the real 3d hd games .. start from Counter strike 1.6 ....

  • css?

  • aah does anybody remember XIII i have that game on ps2 XD also quake 2 and perfect dark and goldeneye 007 are great on the 64 i have them

  • Quake ftw

  • it doesnt matter i still need more hats

  • tf2?

    

  • Metroid Prime 2 was in 2004. Vid says it was in 2002...and since when is Metroid Prime and its sequels ever a FPS? They're not shooters! They're adventure titles that involve shooting!

  • @Thunderchin It's a FPS because it's a first person perspective and you shoot a gun dumb ass.

  • halo 4 is coming up soon!!!!

  • you cant count counter-strike because its a mod for half-life 1

  • You forgot Aliens on the Commodore 64.

  • half life and medal of honor [the original in 1999] #1

  • @Gamingman97 I disliked because a lot of important games are missing, e.g. Thief.

    Also, the quality sucks balls.

  • And who can forget the game that at the timewas the best graphics in an FPS (Which to us suck now) Half-Life

  • a lot of good games in this video, the older shooters are still better though, they will always rank top in my books.

  • or team fortress 2?

  • what about team fortress 1 and team fortress classic?

  • This is *not* a History lesson. This is just random, contextless scenes from shooter games with the sound drowned out by bad music. Please title appropriately next time.

  • is crossfire really that old?

  • wow, this shows all the games released during DNF's developement.

    =

  • I really appreciated that I saw Catacomb there. It was out for about 6 months before wolfenstein.though I understand if some people see it more as a horror/action game.

  • Halo ;) thank you for initiating the greatest decade of FPS that will ever happen.

  • @Destructor129

    Thank you, Captain Obvious!

  • Catacomb Abyss aaaah good old times.

  • MoH FTW!

  • what about gmod? i love the doom and half life series

  • and Aliens vs Predator 2 ?
