Recommend me some PC first person shooters from 1999-2005

I have a fairly weak laptop thats connected to my tv but I have a 360 controller so its like a console.

I have been programming First person shooter games to play like 360 or even PS3 games on my remote and they are running smooth as butter and due to the year of games I can pretty much run them all with graphics full blast.

I am having a great time playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault at the moment, can you recommend some other good quality  single player FPS games for PC? (AvP Gold does not work on XP 64 bit for some reason)

Half life, deus ex, counter strike, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, serious sam, painkiller

Didn't we just do one of these threads for Panzer88?  Or was it Pennywise?  Somebody with a P.

Just play Vampire The Masquerade and Deus Ex and you're probably good.  Maybe throw in System Shock 2.  Quake if you're bored.

You mentioned original AvP but AvP2 is damn fine as well for an Alien fan.

Otherwise, System Shock 2, Half Life 2 should run, Unreal Tournament 2004 for the multi is still way fun. More popular at my lan parties than UT3.

VtM at least doesn't work very well without a keyboard.

Ah, here we go:

Lots of old FPS recommendations in there.

Blood
No One Lives Forever
Tron 2.0

My brother loved NOLF, and I almost forgot about Tron 2.0, which was considered quite good (and for the short time I played it, it was fun).  It's a slightly atypical experience for an FPS due to your weapon, which actually makes it a good deal more unique.

Blood

And Blood II. Both are freaking awesome games.

VtM at least doesn't work very well without a keyboard.

Works just fine on my laptop.  That said, controller integration of stuff that's not on Steam is generally pretty poor (and even the stuff that is on Steam tends to be sketchy).

Just play Vampire The Masquerade and Deus Ex and you're probably good.  Maybe throw in System Shock 2.  Quake if you're bored.

Throw in Unreal Tournament '99 and you've got the best shooty style games from the last ten years.

Okay, damn it, I'll bite.  Here are some truly excellent FPS games from that era (well some are older), that no one has mentioned yet I think:

Soldier Of Fortune
-Fantastic gunplay, brutal violence to the max, great story and overall just awesome.  One of the top 3 FPS games ever made in my book.  Get the Gold version if you can.  The PS2 version of this is ass, anybody who's interested play the PC version.  The sequels aren't so great either, stick with the original.

Gunman Chronicles
-The story is hokey, cowboys and dinosaurs in space, yeah.  Forget the story.  The sci-fi action is fantastic, and being able to design your own weapons is a hoot.  Add in the SHODAN-esque friend/enemy and things get really fun.  I had a blast with this game back in the day.  It's underrated to say the least.

Star Trek Elite Force 1 & 2
-Probably the only Star Trek games I've played that didn't suck.  If you enjoy the series, and you enjoy FPS games, you absolutely MUST play these titles.

Medal Of Honor Allied Assault
-I have played bajillions of WWII FPS games.  This is the best one, by far.  A ton of fun.

Kingpin Life Of Crime
-You want to be a badass amongst a sea of badasses?  You want to have a conversation with some thug, cuss him out, and then beat his face in with a baseball bat?  Or a flamethrower?  This isn't the most complex FPS ever made, but it nails its subject matter perfectly.

Postal 2
-If for some reason your violent urges can't be satisfied by Soldier Of Fortune or Kingpin, well Postal 2 is the absolute ultimate id appeasing murder simulator ever made.  It's also often hilarious.

Half-Life
-The original Half-Life plus its two expansions, is a much better game than its sequel.  Yeah, I said that.  And I mean it.  If you don't know what this is, then get it right now.  You are about to have way too much fun for you own good.

Thief The Dark Project
-This is technically a first person shooter, in that you see the game in first person, and you can shoot arrows.  But it's not an adrenalin fest.  It's a game which requires cunning, sneaking, and true courage.  It's also my most favorite game ever made.

Clive Barker's Undying
-A horror game with plenty of shooting, and plenty of dying.  This game is hard as hell, but the atmosphere makes it worth the effort.

Strife
-If you like post apocalyptic sci-fi stuff, this oldie but goodie is still worth your time.  It has a conversation system, and limited RPG elements.  I consider it one of the original FPS/RPG hybrids.  Just use DOSBox and you'll be fine.   If you enjoy Strife be sure to try Cybermage and the original System Shock.

Also, I should point out, everybody keeps telling you to play Vampire: The Masquerade, but they are forgetting to point out which one.  They don't mean the original Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption, they actually mean Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.  Bloodlines is indeed a truly stupendous FPS/RPG game.  But only if you install the latest community patch.  Otherwise it's a pile of piss poor boiling bugs.

I could name a lot more, but I'll stop now.  I've played as many FPS games as the average person around here has played JRPGs.

I'm biased in suggestiong Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. 

However, this is multiplayer only, but it is free. 

Half-Life
-The original Half-Life plus its two expansions, is a much better game than its sequel.  Yeah, I said that.  And I mean it.  If you don't know what this is, then get it right now.  You are about to have way too much fun for you own good.
