Best first person shooter?

Hey mate,

Its an overhyped title at that, but I think Call of Duty should be good for you.

The graphics are modern and it has a good SP as well as an ok MP (Black Ops I mean).

However, if you want the real deal then I'd save some money for Battlefield 3 which looks like the best FPS I have seen but isn't out yet.

CSS is THE game for competitive FPS gaming, but the graphics are old (which is a good thing for it as it focuses on the game-play and it has longevity).

If you want realistic gameplay in a modern shooter like CoD, try Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It takes a bit of getting used to (i.e. the bullets drop and building explode), but it is a very good FPS.

Regarding Homefront, I don't really know what that game is like so I can't tell you what it is like.

Hope this clears it up,
Redeye

Battlefield 2 is a good choice, the graphics are acceptable but the teamwork is vital for success.

Battlefield 3 looks incredible and probably feels very smooth.

Team Fortress 2 is okay, but you may be swayed by the micro-transaction infestation in the game.

Call of Duty 2 is the best one in the series and will probably get you hooked.

I probably won't suggest Homefront, it looks like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Team Fortress mixed in a blender and it doesn't look pretty.

Crysis 2 looks nice and plays nice and feels nice but it feels like it lacks something in the multiplayer. This is only from the beta, but I am skeptical.

For realism, I would look to Project Reality, it is absolutely the most successful mod on Battlefield 2 and is probably the best "realistic" shooter out there. Headsets are mandatory and going "lone wolf" will get you killed instantly and then you have to wait 60 seconds to 10 minutes to respawn according to your activity. It has a huge learning curve and will require you to read around 100 pages of tutorial that comes with the mod.
