Started with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on N64. Then went to Halo and have played all games in that series, didn't play online until Halo 2. Played quite a bit of the last 4 CoDs. But recently I have been playing Homefront and Borderlands.

To name a few

I am really looking forward to this game. I told myself never will i buy another FPS game after the release of wolfenstein big let down. But this game looks awesome and legit. I played RTCW since the beginning until the last season of it on TWL. This game looks to have some aspects that RTCW had. I know splash damage did the competition mod for RTCW hopefully it carried onto this game. Just pre ordered my copy today..

FPS Experience all PC
CS 1.6
RTCW
Enemy Territory
Quake 4
Battle Field 2
ET:QW
L4D
L4D2
Wolfenstein (worse game ever)

Then switched to Unreal tournament 1 ,half life / CS on PC
Then played halo / gears of war 1 and 2 for a while
Most recently I was playing TF2 / CoD4
Played black ops, for some reason it took me until the 5th prestige to realize I hated the game...

Im 18 now, I am playing video games since like i was 5, on PS1, then on PS2 (Now sometimes on PS3, but only singleplayer), my first true multiplayer experience (I dont count CoD2) was back in F.E.A.R. Combat, that gave me some serious experience in clan gaming. Damn we were good, I used to be a lone wolf, using only UNARM (No weapons, kicks etc.) and I was always taking down important guys.
Then when our community died, I have started with CoD (MW, MW2, Black ©Ops), but I play these games for fun, I also spent lot of time in ET:EQ (Opressor).
I also played other FPS games, but i dont count them forward my FPS experience since It wasn't so "experience giving to me".
Tf2 (Scout, Pyro, Demoman) gave me another Clan experience, i got 1000 hours of TF2, Ive been in few clans, played a bit competitively, this game boosted my team thinking+supported my "Important target denial and Ambush tactics", since Scout is made for this (Take down these medics, run away alive from heavy, which only knows that his medic just died in 2 Shotgun shots, then return to take down heavy when his overheal dissapears etc.).
My Top experince now is Monday Night Combat, where Im in the best clan and I am considered as the best Assault among.
I am totaly looking forward to brink.
Cheers

I suppose I started with Goldeneye, then moved on to Nightfire, Killzone, CoD: Finest Hour, Battlefront...CoD:4 was when I really got into playing online. I like the Battlefield series a lot now, and I hope that Brink will turn out to be innovative and successful.

Started with Halo: Combat Evolved ( I′v played all Halo games and love them) ps. I don′t count Halo Wars as a Halo game because it′s not made by Bungie. then Half-Life and Half-Life 2, Call of Duty 4, World at War, Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops with my clan pR. (public retards),
Operation Flashpoint, AvP, and of corse Gears of War 1, 2 and the Gears of War 3 Beta. And also some Tom Clancy games.
More resiliently I′v played Crisis 2, Portal and Dead Space.

I started with Golden Eye, then time went on then the franchise, 'Timesplitters' arrived. I played all 3 of them. More time went on. COD 3 came to my hands as well as Halo and Halo 2. Then shortly after COD 4 came out, I played that for a while until Resistance: FOM caught my attention. I played FOM for like a year then my PS3 broke, so I went to the Xbox. To which my friend recommended Far Cry 2 and BF:BC. Time went on, Halo 3 was ultimately, one of the best experiences of my life, with ODST shortly following after. Then I dabbled into MW2, BF:BC2 and Borderlands then Reach which leads me to today.

I realise I talk to much :)

Yikes...this is going to make me feel old.

I started out with an Atari 2600 playing Space Invaders and Bowling - that's where it started, back in '77
Then I went through the ZX81, Spectrum, BBCA/B, Commodore 64/Amiga, etc etc etc....

I think the best ones were Network Quake, Doom, TF2 (Avid player with over 500+hours), CS, CS:S, L4D, L4D2 (not as good as the first imo), MW2, all the normal stuff.

Played a few competitive Lans in the UK and on-line, so fairly well grounded in standalone and team play.

what's the best game? Well, in all those years, nothing has ever really topped Chuckie Egg in terms of addictiveness :D (well, maybe TF2)

First ever games were Golden Eye and Timesplitters, they were good days.
I got a bit older and the thing that really piqued my love for FPS was the very first rendition of Call of Duty on the PC. The Original two which in my opinion were far better than any of the modern renditions.
After COD i skipped CS straight to CS Source, and played that for a long stint.
Eventually PCs were getting too expensive and i got a PS3, COD MW was the starter shooter for that. There were others dotted around, played a fair bit of Battlefield 2 and BC2, some MAG etc.
Now i am bored of all of these and am just anticipating Brink!! 8Days WHOOOOO!!

3 years of Unreal Tournament
A few years of Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising
A few years of COD2
Half a year of CS Source
A slight bit of MW1
A year of TF2
A year of MAG
A bit of COD;BO

I have play on high-end clan level in Unreal Tournament and MAG, and the only COD game I really liked was COD2, the other two that I tried out, I genuinely hated.

Started in Halo (like many others) I then tried out Bad Company 1 and had a seizure due to awesomeness overdose. After my brother sold it, I went to COD 4 and it was awesome. Played that until MW2, played that until Bad Company 2, played that until Black Ops, was extremely disappointed, although I still play it. Time sink.

Hopefully BRINK will be the best yet! :)

After that i bought an ps2 with the first 3 Call of duty games.
Then some more Operation 7, Combat Arms and so on.
And now I'm doing BF:BC2 on my xbox, pretty good at it lately. (:
And ofcourse waiting for Brink!

Que big wall of text.

First fps I played was goldeneye, that got me hooked and made me buy a 64, then perfect dark. Then I moved onto counter strike and tfc, I was 11 around this time. Went throuhg various half life mods, S&I, DoD and a few other lesser known mods. Then I went back to CS. When I was about 14 I bought xbox and halo:CE, played CE for a while having weekly 4vs4 lans at my house, I noticed then I was a hell of a lot better than all the players in my school. Around this time I heard about MLG with players like Zyos walshy and the ogres, and read in magazines about people like Lethal and La1 dominating the uk scene. When live came out I had brief stints on unreal and rtcw which not to sound big headed but I was pretty good at.
Then Halo2 was released which was live supported. Me and a friend who played at the 4v4 lans I held started playing on live and realised we were a lot better than most people in matchmaking (granted connections were worse then). Eventually we met up with players of a similar skill and we got involved with he uk competitive community. Around late '03 I had given up playing, but my friend disloyal talked me into attending TSG1, to my knowledge the first proper halo 2 lan in the uk. It was a double team event and we were terrified when we got there and lethal and la1, GDFSniper and Ang3l were at the event. Once we got into the swing of things and settled into the environment we went the whole tournament without dropping a game. Beating Lethal and La1, the current european champions and WCG british representatives, in the semi final. We then beat Seph and Pr3d in the finals to win the first proper uk halo 2 lan. After that we really got immersed into the community and attended nearly every tournament (Disloyal quit for a while, but later returned but we never teamed again unfortunately). At the end of halo 2 I had placed at best in the top 4 european sides, and was a consistant top16 ffa player, although I could never quite make top 8 lol :( had some narrow misses though. Disloyal had placed at best 2nd best 4vs4 team and was one of the only teams to beat Team TSG in a game at there peak.

I went on to play halo 3 tournaments, but never really had the heart for it anymore, especially now that I was in university. I quit playing, and my final tournament was XL4 I think, where we placed 5th best in Europe, 4th best in the UK (and I really let the team down with my performance at this tournament :( ). Several of my Ex team mates represented Britian in the WCG at I think shaghai or something and one went to mlg with a team and placed in the top 20.

After I quit halo competitively I still played games, but just with my friends from home who werent very good, or not at the level I was used to anyway (Disloyal had stopped playing games altogether) We played a bit of gears and cod which I was very good at, sorry for the big headed review :/.

Now Im looking forward to brink, A few competitive players (Disloyal and Rohan) should be picking it up also and getting on with me and a few of our less skilled friends from home lol. Cant wait.

Oh yeah I also had brief stints on timesplitters, tribes, and battlefield 1942 and 2142.

@Sublime - We may well have been at the same lans. I knew a halo player called Sublime......not by any chance you is it?

I guess my real career started last summer when I got a PS3. Before that I had played a bit of Metroid: Prime, Halo PC, Doom, and Crysis Warhead. Most of those were for the champaign, though. Halo PC had multiplayer, but the "awesome" community threw me off quickly. The first FPS I got for the PS3 was, of course, Modern Warfare 2. That's where I got most of my aiming and general FPS knowledge from. I played it for four months, four hours a day. And then came Christmas. I got two copies of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (one which I later traded in for MAG.) The only thing that taught me was how to strap C4 to an ATV and drive it into a tank. Oh, that and quick-scoping only works on COD. And that waiting outside the enemies spawn with some C4 traps for the vehicles is actually effective. And to destroy buildings with C4 if you can't kill the people inside it. That game really only made me a pyromaniac...
And then came MAG. That taught me how to be a teamplayer and to always stay on top of the battlefield: know what is going on at all times and to act correspondingly. MAG also emphasized that quick-scoping only works on COD. Later that year came Crysis 2, which really only taught me some strategy and to abuse the game's selling point to stay alive. (In Crysis it's the Nanosuit; in Brink it's probably the parkour.)
I was also in the Killzone 3 public beta and later the open beta, but those only made me cautious of my teammates. Infiltrators and their ability to mask as the enemy... pretty much like the Operative on Brink.

My first FPS was Halo, and that was fun from first grade to about sixth. Then I started playing COD and realized what I was missing. Few years later, I got Borderlands and loved it (level 53 Siren).

Just a few months ago, I bought Fallout 3 for about $10 :celebration:

Recently, I've been hoping to try something new when Battlefield 3 comes out.

Oh, and Brink, obviously.
