First Person Shooters

[Hickory]

I decided to make a thread dedicated to FPS.

I don't want any arguing over the "best" FOS, they are all equal and this is a discussion thread.

I'll include a few quotes from each franchise, please don't say stuff like "Really? You picked that quote?"

Halo

"Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it."

-Cortana

"Sir, permission to leave the station."
"For what purpose?"
"To give the Covenant back their bomb."
-Master Chief and Lord Hood

Call of Duty

"Right...what the hell kind of name is "Soap", eh? How'd a muppet like you pass selection?"
— Captain Price's first words to John "Soap" MacTavish.

"Good news first, the world's in great shape. We've got a civil war in Russia, government loyalists against ultranationalists rebels, and 15,000 nukes at stake."
–Gaz

Portal

"Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out."
-GLaDOS

Crysis

"This isn't a war ordinary humans can win! This is the future - death's an inconvenience now, nothing more. We are all dead man walking."
–Jacob Hargreave

I know that I didn't get near all the popular games, but it's a start. Feel free to post more quotes and facts, whatever. Just no third person stuff, sorry. The Last of Us does not belong here.

I don't play many first person shooters, but I am so dadgum excited for the new Star Wars Battlefront. I mean, who wouldn't like to battle and fly on Hoth?

[Hickory]

So true. I'm saving up for an Xbox.

Wait, wait. Playstation 4, I meant. Although I could play Halo on Xbox... but there's also Battlefield for PS.

[The Skarzs]

Halo 2

"Well whadya know. . . For a rock, he flew pretty good!" ~Sgt. Johnson.

"Wort wort wort!" ~The Elites.


Fact about the Elites' "wort wort wort" from the games; it was originally the audio of Sgt. Johnson saying "Go go go!" played backwards.

[Jetthebinturong]

I wouldn't call Portal an FPS, it's a puzzle game.

"Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death." ~ GlaDOS

[Hickory]

Some of Sgt. Johnson's best quotes are in Halo 2.

"When I was in the regiment, we didn't have any fancy schmancy tanks! We had stick! Two sticks, and a rock! And we had to share to rock!"

"Thanks for the tank. He never het's me anything."

"Oh, I know what the ladies like."

But this is my favorite.

"It just says, 'Regret, Regret, Regret.' Catchy. I wonder what it means?"

"Dear Humanity: We regret coming to Earth. We regret being alien [dogs]. We regret that the corp just blew up our raggedy-[butt] fleet! OORAH!"

Whenever he says stuff like that, I just go, "Awwww yeah. Go Sgt. Johnson."

[SoranMBane]

"I believe that one person can make... or break... a nation." ~ The Courier, Fallout: New Vegas - Lonesome Road

I love New Vegas so much, it's one of my favourite games. I recently started my "murder literally everything that breathes" playthrough, and it has been ridiculously fun so far (especially since the oblivious Bethesda AI has led to multiple NPCs sitting or sleeping inside the corpses of their murdered peers).

[Eulaliaaa!]

"I am the Voice of the Covenant!"
"And so you must be silenced."
- Halo 3

[Hickory]

Halo 2

"Well whadya know. . . For a rock, he flew pretty good!" ~Sgt. Johnson.

"Wort wort wort!" ~The Elites.


Fact about the Elites' "wort wort wort" from the games; it was originally the audio of Sgt. Johnson saying "Go go go!" played backwards.

"Crazy fool! Why do you always jump? Some day you're gonna land on something as stubborn as you are, and I don't do bits and pieces."

I like the Elites. Pretty cool. (check out my profile pic)

[The Skarzs]

"Were it so easy. . ." ~Thel 'Vadamee, the Arbiter, Halo 3.

[Eulaliaaa!]

Reading all these Halo quotes suddenly makes me want to play Halo 3 again...

[Hickory]

"Were it so easy. . ." ~Thel 'Vadamee, the Arbiter, Halo 3.

I hate to be a nerd, but by Halo 3 he had left the Covenant and changed his surname to Vadam, to symbolize his departure.

I play medieval FPSs, particularly Chivalry: Medieval warfare.
