Let's hear it for Unreal Tournament both 99 and 2K4. Crazy weapons, great scaleable graphics and tons of modes, mods and conversions. It can be almost any game you want it to be. Still some great servers out there today.
Got a tip for us?

I give one vote for Marathon.
But I'd love to give props to Doom and Doom 2, Open Arena, and of course, Goldeneye.

yup, great game, certainly my #2, rightbehind FarCry
thirdplace is a shared one, between Need For Speed Carbon and Rise of Legends
But I guess my top 3 will change soon, cause I'm gonna buy Supreme Commander, and it WILL rock
I can't believe nobody's mentioned Unreal Tournament yet!
That's what I'm spending my days doing; playing Unreal Tournament Game of the Year Edition. Hopefully going to buy 2004 as soon as i can find somewhere that does it for the mac at a reasonable price near me.
EDIT: Sorry, only got to the end of page one, didn't realise the posts on this page. But yes, I have to agree with you on Unreal Tournament

The Marathon games and Mods (Evil) also Return to Castle Wolfenstein is always good for a blast.
UT2k4 for the win. Pretty snappy network code, I rarely have problems. Sure its not realistic but its always fun to pop in for some Onslaught and be able to hop on back out. And still good servers out there and it runs nice. Its graphics are aging a little bit but it still looks glorious on my 2' iMac
MOH series, then COD series... in that order just because MOH was earlier.
Madly in love with Wolfenstein 3D when it came out, and also Doom!
But MOH had more of that "feeling with the shooter himself".. if you know what I mean...

Day of Defeat and UT99 were both great. Admittely, I enjoyed UT more because it was shared on our college network
Tough call. The WWII shooters are good for a long while, but not my top favorites. They have excellent single player campaigns on the most part, so definitely props to the CoD or MoH series for that.
Halo is with the WWII shooters in my opinion. Good for a long while, but just not at the top. I actually enjoy the sci-fi story aspect of it more than anything.
Doing a pick up game of Far Cry at my friend's house over the LAN is always fun. Something about that game in multiplayer worked well, although very simple.
UT2K4 is an excellent choice for multiplayer.
Battlefield 2 is my current favorite FPS.

Where's the GoW link to Crysis?! Visually they're both miles apart, one going for a realistic look, the other going for a plastercine look.
Anyroad! My fave is definitely HL2: Deathmatch. I spend at least an hour on it a day.
I feel let down with games like Prey, Quake 4, Doom 3, FarCry, Unreal Tournaments. They didn't feel fresh in the slightest. Physics really brought HL2 to life for me and absolutely changed FPS gameplay for the good with the gravity gun.
Oh, and give me Crysis too sandbox FPS with RPG elements? Yes please.

Tribes and Unreal Tourney were the 2 big ones when I was in college. nowadays I dont play FPS, lost interest in it.
its sad that you can only play cs sourse on windows....im wasting a lot of diskspace through bootcamp to keep windows for that game....if only there was a way to get it on the osx side
Crossover for Mac
You can run some Windows programs in OS X. I have personally tried CS Source. It seemed to work pretty well.
Best thing of all, you don't need Windows
