Wolfenstein was okay.
DOOM was the first game I ever played, and hooked me instantly. id Software perfected 'insane' fps with the nightmare difficulty, which makes the DOOM series one of my favorite series ever made. I spent so many hours playing the DOOM games and I can still go back and have just as much fun playing them today. DOOM 3 was a pretty big letdown though, it tried so hard to be a flashy survival horror shooter that it strayed way too far from the DOOM formula. Iddqd, what an amazing series.
Quake 2 was the best multiplayer experience of my life hands down. I've never even played the single player campaign, just spent years online with it. Q2 had everything, and everything was perfect. Rocket Arena is the best mod ever made, Freeze tag followed very close behind that, and Quake 2 had the best map making community maybe of all time. I even remember a really addicting platforming mod.
Rocket jumps, rail guns, and a grappling hook, it gets no better than that.
