What are people’s recommendation for their favourite FPS single player campaigns that you still enjoy playing a couple of levels once in awhile? No multiplayer suggestions.

My all time one is Medal Of Honor 2010 reboot. I don’t play through it every time but I have a couple of favourite levels.

      I have it, I have not played it through, only played half an hour to an hour, but I will trust you and play it through soon to give it a proper try.

        Rest assured that you were nearly done.

        I’m kidding, but it do believe it’s only 6 hours or something. Still amazing.

      The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it’s the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It’s just great, perfect length.

        Didn’t waste any time. Most games have fluff galore these days. A distilled experience stands out that much more.

      I see people rave about it. I tried Half Life 2 for an hour and quit because I lost all interest since there wasn’t much happening.

          I don’t like random creatures or space aliens, fantasy, Martians, I don’t like those games. I prefer real world military style. What makes Half Life so good?

    The Bungie era of Halo (Combat Evolved through Reach). You can never go wrong with those games, and the soundtrack alone will get you pumped to play through humanity’s last stand.

    ArmA 3 for the heart-pumping rip and tear action power fantasy.

    DOOM 2016 for the immersive realism and measured tactical complexity.

      Someone else mentioned it. I have never played Bioshock, I think I’ve seen it used as a benchmark. I look for military style games and I wasn’t sure if I should give Bioshock a try.

        Bioshock is a fantastic game imo if you’re willing to branch out from military games. The story is wonderful, the setting is phenomenal and the shooting mechanics are very solid and fun. You can probably find the remaster for cheap, it’s often on sale.

      The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It’s just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.

    Dishonored 2, if that doesn’t count then Titan Fall 2 (Borderlands 2 honorable mention)

      I’ve been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

      DOOM Eternal didn’t do it for me. It’s Doom-ish, but not enough. It’d be a better game if it wasn’t set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

        DOOM Eternal was like a … crazy adrenaline pumping high for me that I normally don’t get out of single player games, so that’s why it’s arguably my favorite.

        I never really played the original DOOM games (they’re almost too simple for me … I didn’t grow up with them but I did get into PC shooters with Xonotic – a fast paced Quake derivative, so DOOM Eternal kinda makes sense for me).

          I need to try out Xonotic. I went to high school with the guy who started the original game, who runs Alientrap now.

              Yup, I was friends with his older brother. Both of them were/are a bit weird, didn’t think much of either of them academically until grade 12. Then their math & and computer genious came out. Had a few university classes with them, the older brother has better social skills, but Lee is more creative IMHO.

              Upshot is I played Capsized in 2009, so that was neat.

      DOOM Eternal is pretty damn close to perfection. The only thing that keeps it from 10/10 for me is the length of the missions, especially on harder difficulties. I feel absolutely exhausted after just one level.

      Then again, maybe I’m just old.

    Nice post OP, a few of mine off the top of my head;

    • Half-Life (+expansions + Black Mesa)

    • Bioshock

    • Deus Ex

    • Call of Duty: Black Ops (World at War was great too + ZOMBIES!)

    • Morrowind / Oblivion / Skyrim

    • Fallout: New Vegas (+DLC)

    • System Shock 2

    I played a few of the MoH (I can’t recall which) but never owned them.
