Growing up?  That.  Or Harpoon in high school, though obv not an FPS.

Later, I discovered the joys of Flashpoint...

Wolfenstein was earth shattering when it came out. I killed so damn many krauts and continue to from time to time on Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
I can't remember if it was that or Doom where we bought serial port boards and cables and hooked two computers together for my first human vs human.
Duke Nukem 3D was for sure the first where one of us bought a switch and we all hauled our boxes and big ass monitors to each others house. That was the first time I got the joy of hiding in a little nook with a sniper and everyone wondering where they were getting killed from. Boom headshot.

On a console I have the most hours on Halo and Halo 2. Again just miles ahead for it's time.

Nowdays i'm old and cant remember the 87 different things on the keyboard needed to play most games at a high level.

Old school 386 PC and original pentium:

Then as computers got better,
battlefield 1942

Then on console:
Halo
COD MW2

Battlefield 2.

There was no better feeling of playing support and sniping enemy players from a rooftop across the map with a SAW. Especially when the other team sent hit squads out after you.

It was also pretty awesome laying covering fire with the SAW so your team could cap a flag and have the other team bitch in the chat that you couldn’t use the SAW for suppression. When the entire premise of the class was SUPPORT.

This. I had painted  a baseball bat up like a .30 cal barrel and shoved it through the window of our fort and mowed down many krauts and japs with it]

First video game shooter? I was pretty well an adult by the time they were invented. So I guess my original answer remains

Counterstrike.

In college I played so much that I was a straight up beast.  Could join any server at random and pretty much dominate at will.   I knew exactly where to expect contact with the opposing team based on sprint times from spawn.

Most times I’d take out the entire opposing team myself or pretty close to it.  i loved getting the drop to the choke point and then lining up their stack and unloading with the AK or M4 to take them all down.

Kill:death ratio was pretty insane and would sometimes play using just the weak/obscure weapons that no one ever used just for the challenge.

It’s been a few years though since I’ve played, just no time anymore like I used to have… Every so often I’ll drop into CS:Go and get my butt stomped now.  Still fun though.

I probably had the most time on BF4. One of the few games where I felt alright paying for the expansions.  Behind BF4 was probably COD:MW2 or COD:BO2.

I was already "grown up" per say but it's gonna be Ghost Recon first and then later Battlefield 2.  My main shooter of that era was Halo 2 though.

I grew up on Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.

DOOM
Duke Nukem
Wolfenstein 3D

By the time I was 18, I switched to mainly playing RPGs until I joined the Army then it was a religious amount of COD.

Those games look entertaining and fun, but not around when I was growing up.  We had the little green plastic army  men.  I remember one had a bazooka and all the others were riflemen.  We’d set up our pieces, then we’d take turn throwing rocks at the other side.  Last little solder standing was the winner.  Sometimes we’d set one on fire and watch it melt.

Delta Force 1, 2, Land Warrior

MOH 1 mostly but played the others through single player.

COD 1, 2, 3, MW 1 and 2 but played through Ghosts and BO series rest single player

Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2

CS original and Source

Kinda stopped over the last 10 years though, but used to play a good bit.  Did lots online, even was in online clans where we had arranged fights at times.  Great fun.

Absolutely loved BF1942! I only ever played the demo — Wake Island baby!!

I would always play as a pilot (usually in the Zero) and loved a2a dogfighting.  At the time I remember reading up on a2a combat techniques and implementing them in my play with outstanding results.  I could accurately put bombs where I wanted from almost any position.  Taking out jeeps and tanks on the run was fun.  Occassionally would be up against someone really good on AA and would get fragged a few times before I could take them out, then would strafe/bomb them multiple times as they would try to get back to AA after respawn, OR my favorite was to skim the airfield at knee height and just run guys over with my plane.

I was so sad when they stopped supporting it.

@Infantry26

My brother and I loved Soldier of Fortune 2. Actually mentioned that game in an earlier thread today.

Such a brutal game, probably the goriest of early FPS military shooters.

So much fun though.


In case anyone hasn't played of Soldier of Fortune 2, if you shoot someone with a shotgun in the leg, the leg falls off. Or any other body part.

I spent *a lot* of time and money playing WW2online for well over a decade. Got sick of paying money for a neverending betatest though. I'd say BF2 was probably what i'd played the most after that. I loved the SF and Armored Fury expansions.

Anybody remember the U.S. Army sponsored PC 1st person shooter game from the late 90's? It was free.

You only had one gun option: Colt m4 w/KAC rail, and TA01NSN optic.

Toss-up between:

- Rainbox Six series up to Raven Shield for the single player action.

- Battlefield 1942/Desert Combat online for longest duration over the years.

- Soldier of Fortune II was my game. If anyone hung around the PlanetSoldier forums and the member-driven CTF server back in the day, you might recognize my username. I was assistant admin on the server. I was in on the [TOC] membership team at the start until I caught one of the other assistant admin's teenage kid running aimbots and wallhacks on the server. I got tired of the drama and left the scene shortly afterwards when I began my medical career.

Counterstrike and Day of Defeat, but I was in my early 20s by then.

I had played some Wolfenstein 3D before that, but not a huge amount.  That was the first military FPS I ever played.  Don’t know any that existed before then.

Yes!

I remember playing the firing range. Actually had a fun UKD range if I remember correctly.

This the one you're talking about?

The fact it came out right during the 9/11 time period, it may have helped with recruiting.

Operation Wolf got all my quarters in the arcades in the late 80's and it was one of the first NES games I bought.
Then Area 51 got all my quarters in the arcades.

Some kid installed Wolfenstein on the public library computers in 1993 or 1994 and we played that quite a bit there.

Doom on SNES
Doom 64 on N64
Winback on N64 (underrated game)
Duke Nukem on N64
And of course Goldeneye on N64.

I got out of gaming other than a little bit of unreal tournament in 2005/2006 on my brother's gaming PC when I'd crash with him over a weekend.

Now I'm in my early 40's and we just bought a Nintendo switch for our kids (and me).
First gaming system I've had in my house in nearly 20 years.
I've just started exploring the games that are available.

I played the first Rainbow Six game, it was awesome.

I was all HK'd out with the G36C and the Mk23 w/KAC suppressor.  I'd do the whole game with the pistol just for fun.

First Halo on Xbox too...melee'ing with the shotgun was a 1-shot.  I'd do that game with just pistol too for fun.
