Which shooty game has the best campaign

strumpusplunket · 7 Nov 2015 at 14:12

Spec Ops: The Line isn't on your list but has the best storyline of any shooter I've played in years.

Sticking to your list you can't wrong with HL2 if you've not yet played it.

Get yourself the Metro games,, 6 to 8 hours long, great story, great games.

Singularity has a brilliant story, well worth playing through. Few different endings too.

Battlefield Bad Company 1 was superb, one of the all time greats for me.

I've just finished cry3 last night was the first time playing crysis and really enjoyed it. It's a short story but not too short. Graphics at all maxed still held up very well too for a 2013 game.
Other than that hl2

For a game which isn't on the list easily Bioshock

Id like to play hl2 again but skip the damn driving part!

Rest of the game is great

Call of Juarez Gunslinger - short arcade style shooter set in the wild west with some interesting story telling.

arc@css · 7 Nov 2015 at 17:23

F.E.A.R.

Most interesting story for a linear / first person shooter that I have played. Sorry it's not on the list (HL2 FWIW).

:/

Shout out for Tomb Raider

MissChief · 7 Nov 2015 at 19:33

Tomb Raider is good fun, IF you can push through the first thirty minutes or so. There are a few too many QTE's which make you think the whole game will be like that but it does calm down afterwards.

Also good shout on Spec Ops The Line. Good story, a few twists and some good action and likely cheap from a key site too.

Bulletstorm is pretty good fun and, at times, completely ludicrous and all the better for it.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've already completed Tomb Raider. I went for Crysis 2 in the end! I have half life 2 on the 360 as lounge gaming so that will probably be played at the same time as fo4...

Not finished?

I bought. played and completed Black Mesa on Steam. I didn't notice any missing levels (It's a long time since I first played the original though).

Suggestion:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat

And these. Especially 2033 redux.

HL2 for me then Crysis is not so bad
