Maybe. Compared to Doom the combat is less fast due to the bullet spongey enemies, but the level design is much more interesting & consistent.

Operation Bodycount
Terminator Rampage
Isle of the Dead
Super Noah's Arc 3D

Classics. Somewhere lower on the list would be PO'd and William Shatner's Tekwar.

blood and heretic
both play nice even today

>>5407110
What about Island Peril and Terminal Terror? They're just as good if not better than most of those classics

>>5406975

>>5408172
based, bloodpilled and undeniably patrician's taste

Doom, Duke and Blood.

PERFECT DARK

>>5406975
Blood. All other answers are wrong

System Shock 2 for me.

>>5406975
You wanted somebody to say it's Doom, so here I am confirming it.

How dumb can you be? At least post someone who can actually play the game also without trying too hard to make you laugh with miserable results.

I'M GONNA FUCK YA

>>5408880
Why did it have to suck so much for certain aspects, this game could've been perfect, I dare to say up there with Shadow Warrior or at least close to it. Oh well, at least the soundtrack was indeed 100% masterpiece.

>>5406975

>>5408841
amazing level design

>>5408894
in what aspects did it suck? I played it looong time ago and don't remember

For me it's Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.
First one and Outlaws are up there too.

>>5408906
The level design of some if not the majority of maps, the switch/door hunting, the final boss, the slightly screwed aiming system which isn't very precise; just to name a few. Regarding this last thing someone could legitimately say that the nearer you are to an enemy, the more it's likely to easily kill him. The problem here however is that for them it doesn't matter if you're near or not, they will always 100% hit you while for you it's not the same, the bullet will most likely go slightly off-course (doesn't matter if projectile or even hitscan because the issue subsist). It's not that easy to spot this matter, but the more you play the more it's likely you'll discover it, whereas something like Blood or Duke it's very predictable with this sort of thing right off the bat, as it should be: enemies spot you even if they're far away, but they have pretty much the same chances to hit you as you do because the weapons and the aiming are tight for both of you. There are probably more minor problems with this game, but on a fair note it's true that you grow so accustomed to the innovative aspects and the overall themes that you at least try to forget this stuff and like it nonetheless just as I did. Still, not exactly the best retro fps anyway...

My vote would go on Quake solely because it's the innovation for excellence, the natural evolution of a masterpiece, the latter being DOOM. And yet I can't do anything if not actually follow my penis instead of my mind: when I cum, my sperm forms the letters "Blood".

>>5408903
Was it Death Wish 1.5 where on that same level you are on an alley near a school you just went through and then you can hear a scream? After that if you look at the window of a classroom of said school you can see the interior have changed and they're covered in blood and there's Ophelia crucified. Easily missable details like this is something that always fascinated me in any videogame, and fucking Bloatoid played with this factor very well; this among plenty of other astonishing things he featured on this addon. Pic related is one of said details, outside of a window in another level there's one of those "fishes", but it's enlarged and immobilized just to give this eerie feeling of being watched.

>>5408325

Precisely this. This is all I do these days.

From the Quake era: Quake
From the Half Life era: Half Life
From the Doom era: Probably Doom

>>5406975
Isn't it obvious?
>Deus EX - BEST. GAME. EVER.
Runner-ups:
>Unreal Tournament - Best MP-centric FPS
>Half-Life - Best SP-centric FPS

NOT RETRO

>>5406975
I recently beat all the wolf 3d games with some source port that gives you a map... It was fucking great. I never played it as a kid either. Just stupid fun. Beat a map in 5 mins, turn it off and do it again a few minutes later. Loved it.

>>5409596
>GoldSrc & Unreal 1
>Not retro
Ok, then what counts as retro? Pls enlighten me

>>5409596
Honest question. What does "retro" mean for a strictly PC game? What would be the difference between the PC exclusive released in 2000's vs the one released in 1999?

>>5406975
Depth Dwellers

>>5410875
imo the cutoff should be either the end of 3dfx or the launch of win xp

Let's try some word association....

First Word: Deus Ex is a Retro FPS.

>dooms
>shadow warrior
>turok

>>5406975
60

>>5411469
So either 2001 or 2002, both comfortably after the release of Deus Ex.

>>5408983
What is the origin of this gif?

>>5410875
Retro is at least a 20 year gap.

Can OG SSam (non-remastered) be considered retro?

>>5409576
Half life and deus ex are polar opposites. I don't know how you could include them on the same list. One is great because it lets you play however you want. The other was (at the time) great because of the way it guided you through the story.

>>5412057
deus ex is shit and not even a fps.

i guess by your logic you cant enjoy both system shock and doom because they are different games.

Quake 2

>>5408898
Is that fucking Utoya?

>>5406975
not that one. Q and Q2 are repetitive as a motherfucker and even to this day I cant get more than halfway through them without my eyes glazing over

singleplayer: half-life, multiplayer: unreal tournament, quake 3, or battlefield 2

>>5412270
You are doing it wrong then

>>5406975
blood you retard

>>5412053
Absolutely, its platform was a completely retro-era PC.
>OS: Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, Windows 98SE ...
>Processor: AMD K6-3 400MHz, Pentium II or >Celeron-A 300MHz

turok 3

>>5412062
I feel sorry you cannot enjoy it.

>>5408568
looks almost exactly like Timesplitters

>>5412038
most likely this should be the truth we uphold

>>5413045
same people worked on it

Doom with mods, Quake without mods.
Build games aren't bad either.

>>5406975
There is no best one. There is a variety of great ones, and which one you'll prefer will depend on your particular taste. My own favorites are Doom, Duke 3D, Quake, and Blood - obviously not a very controversial list - but I'm sure that there are many other great retro FPS games that I just haven't played.

>>5407005
Bestiality and roofiepilled.

>>5406975
No love for Rise of the Triad?

CS 1.3 to 1.6 is the best fps game ever made.

>>5412057
>I don't know how you could include them on the same list. One is great because it lets you play however you want. The other was (at the time) great because of the way it guided you through the story.
They're both arguably the peak of their design paradigms. Especially for their time. Also, they're FPS games.
>>5412062
It actually is one, though I understand those that consider it a RPG. Typically it's referred to as an FPS-RPG.
