Unreal Tournament 2003 is one that is very popular around here. You can download the demo off of www.unrealtournament2003.com

For single player? BF1942 and CS are aimed strictly at multi-player.

I would say...

Deus Ex
Unreal (the first one, tournament has no single player storyline to speak of)
American McGee's Alice
Clive Barker's Undying

These are all at least a couple years old so you can probably find them in the bargain bin at various places for about 10 bucks .

There is a new Medal of Honor Expansion out called Breakthrough which I hear is much better than Spearhead. Although I don't see why so many people hate Spearhead anyway. I love it.

I like it and play Instant Battles daily. The bots are real stupid thought. I just love the game buts thats my opinion. Its the type of game that I like. Ramming a battleship into a Landing Craft and blasting it with your cannons then jumping on thier deck and stealing the enemis plane or chopper is such a thrill eh

EDIT !


stupid me missed that part aboot DIALUP dont buy it if you have dialup the best part aboot 1942 is the DC mod and multiplayer and ya need a good connection for that eh sorry

I thought No One Lives Forever (kinda dated ) and No One Lives Forever 2 were pretty good FPS games. Very highly rated by gamespot if you trust those reviews.

Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City arent first person shooters, but there is a guy and you can shoot people, and drive cars, and planes while shooting, and many more.......

Why not get some of the newer good games like Jedi Academy, Freedom Fighters (or is it force) II,Halo, Red Faction II. If you bought a fast machine- the graphics and sound are better on these games

Another vote for N.O.L.F 2. Probably in the top 5 all-time for me, and it has fantastic graphics.
