Quake, if you value or respect FPS then you should know the ability to look around with a mouse or aiming with one... changed the scene of FPS instantly and every other game has followed suite. Also they made their own client for netplay, not LAN play. It spawned Robin Walker whom dev'd and brought out Team Fortress the mod. First mod ever and got hired by Gabe Newell at Valve to produce and work on pretty much everything. I attribute it all to Quake. Also the highest skill ceiling game ever made imo which is why it's not being made or pushed by Bethesda/Microsoft. They want stupid gamers who cannot setup their own servers or learn what latency is. Quake fixes this.

quake also got a soundtrack by none other than Trent Reznor also, so there's that, also :)
How could I forget!!! Yeah theres too many reasons ππ
i'm not much of a player, myself, but i'm deadly at fps games. it's just not fun unless it's on a LAN though. lag needs to be under about 20ms to really make the game fun.
i'm a huge fan of run and gun basically endless ammo games. in a lot of games you have to be a bit more careful, i play a lot more games with stealth mechanics in them now but when i first started playing stalker i was forever running into anomalies and being slaughtered by mutants and gopniks.
quake and similar games are great for parties, everyone gets so hyped.
oh yeah, sadly it's not online anymore but the best MMOFPS i ever played was War, Inc.
64 players in capture the flag was so frantic and frenetic, i loved that game. someone needs to make a game like this again, with all the same game options, capture the flag, free for all, deathmatch, and the rest
also, yes, CODMW2 is not as fun as this game was. i like COD games but they don't tap that whole high speed reflexes and tactics focus that i enjoy the most.

it was third person view but the action was mad, this video gives you a good rundown of everything about it
