CSS find a good server though, a nice one is MAG (Middle Aged Gamers)

Battlefield 2
Halo 2
Half Life1/2 episodes.

Half Life series is a must.

Cheers for the suggestions folks! He's played a bunch of what you've mentioned (Doom, Quake, Unreal etc) but Stalker and FEAR are looking like they'll be up his street. Same for BF2 and Bioshock.

Cheers!

Half Life 2 - also opens up opportunities for loads of great SP mods.

Get him to play the first Fear title before the second, tis a great shooter with an immersive story line.

Left for Dead.... great game!

I'm probably your Dads age & I've been playing BF2 since day one, The pace & options you have is Perfect & suits just about everybody except those that cannot handle being killed.

At the price it's well worth a try for him & with the recent patch you get all the add ons slung in for free, There will be literally Untold hours of play time for less than a tenner.
Personally I think BF2 is the best online FPS ever created & to get it & all its add ons for less than a tenner is unbelievable.

My dad really enjoyed SOF2 (and still plays online sometimes i think) He also completed the expansion of half life 2 'portal' Which annoyed me as i was supposed to be playing it!

panda_uk · 9 Oct 2009 at 08:59

I still think bf1942 is still more fun than bf2.

demon8991 · 9 Oct 2009 at 10:15

THE ONLY CHOICE!!!

The Orange Box!
Half Life 2
Half Life 2: Episode 1
Half Life 2: Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2

Has he had all the DLC's for fallout 3?
He could also try wolfenstein (or even the older return to castle wolfenstein) I thought that was a half decent shooter, not legendary like BF2 or CoD games but still pretty playable imo.

unknownsock · 9 Oct 2009 at 10:50

Less speccing multi player games!
Personally i think all CoD games are appauling on SP.

I'd reccoment some but i think all the good ones have been taken :rolleyes:

Half Life Series, from the start

CSS. My favourite online shooter so far.

To be fair if he wants a FPS that isnt too challenging then CS:S would be the last thing to recommend.

Gimpymoo · 9 Oct 2009 at 14:58

ARMA 2

Then watch him cry when he gets owned online and by the AI.

SfnX · 9 Oct 2009 at 15:11

half life series?
bioshock?
stalker?

b3aker · 9 Oct 2009 at 15:23

Another recommendation for The Orange Box here - only got it recently and the Half Life 2 series is awesome so far (now on Ep2) as well as Portal and it's cheap these days as well!
