This list celebrates the best PC shooters of all time, the ones that raised the bar, set new standards, and delivered the kind of action that keeps you coming back for more.

The Top Ten

  1. Counter-Strike

    Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999.

    One heck of a game. You can play it for hours, and it never grows old. Has to be the best first-person shooter game ever created!

    Best online shooter with a mature player base. Skill is highly required, plus there are many professional teams and events with cash prizes.

  2. Call of Duty 2

    The best Call of Duty ever! I played it on that platform, and it was the best video game I played. I played it in 2014 when I turned 14. It was an awesome game set during WWII, better than Call of Duty WWII of 2017. It has to be the best first-person shooter game ever created!

    Known for its realistic WWII gameplay, Call of Duty 2 is still rated one of the best FPS games for the PC. It is currently ranked #4 in the Xfire most played FPS games.

    The best shooting game I have ever played.

  3. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

    Started as an expansion to RTCW, but was released as a standalone version in 2003. One of the most played shooter games today.

    Still one of the most fun 15 years later.

  4. Team Fortress 2

    Team Fortress 2 is the sequel to the game that popularized class-based, multiplayer team warfare. With its amazing art style and graphics, this game is certainly one of a kind.

  5. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

    Based on historical military campaigns of World War II, this game was released in 2002 and currently sits at rank #14.

  6. Unreal Tournament

    Known for its fast-paced, high-flying, bomb-dropping, extreme gameplay, Unreal Tournament 2004 is a multiplayer first-person shooter that combines the kill-or-be-killed experience of gladiatorial combat.

    Should be number 1! It's much better than Counter-Strike!

    It's a legend.

    Doesn't need words.

  7. Halo: Combat Evolved

    You are the last of your kind. Bred for combat, built for war, you are the master of any weapon, the pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemy.

  8. Quake III: Arena

    Released in 1999, this was a first of its kind. It featured cutting-edge graphics and intense, fast-paced gameplay. You are inside an arena where escape is not a possibility.

  9. Crysis 2

  10. Doom

    One of the most iconic FPS titles, this game revolutionized the FPS genre. Scary, exciting, fun, and memorable.

    11. The Newcomers

    Half-Life

    Fortnite: Battle Royale

    This game has a lot of haters (people always think it's cool to hate on popular stuff). But the engine, physics, and mechanics of this game are unrivaled as a shooter.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Project IGI

    The best game! Just play it, and you'll know what I mean.

    This is a great game. It should be in the top 10.

  14. Borderlands

    With its addictive action, frantic first-person shooter combat, massive arsenal of weaponry, RPG elements, and four-player co-op, Borderlands is a breakthrough experience that challenges all the conventions of modern shooters.

  15. Borderlands 2

  16. Warface

    One of the best graphics in a PC game yet. The weapons are amazing, with tons available for each class. The Co-op missions change frequently, so you'll never get bored playing with friends. In PvP, there are a couple of good game modes like Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All. On PC, this Crytek game is beautiful.

    It's a very good game with a zero-dollar budget.

  17. Overwatch

  18. ARMA 3

    This is a military simulator, which makes it a unique game. It offers realistic weapons, vehicles, and massive locations. It is better than Battlefield in terms of realism and map size, making you feel like an actual soldier.

  19. Planetside 2

  20. Total Overdose

  21. Alliance of Valiant Arms

    Best shooter game I've played so far, and it's free - but it's only for PC.

  22. Halo 2

  23. Battlefield: 1942

  24. Serious Sam

  25. World of Tanks

    This is a great tank-shooting MMO game. It's very addictive and fun to play.

  26. Spec Ops: The Line

  27. Conflict: Global Storm

    One of the best games ever, with an awesome co-op multiplayer.
