Which shooting games have set the standard?

Which shooting games do you think have raised the bar and why do you pick them specifically? Are there any future shooters coming out that you think will raise the bar even higher?

Hl2 will raise the bar much higher. Why? Graphics and gameplay will improve tremendously on the new engine. We have already seen a few screenshots. They have been working on their new engine since the origional Half-life came out (so you know its gonna be good). You will have the ability to move and use inanimate objects to add a new dimension to the game. plus valve is very supportive of the mod community. I expect improvement on many of the current Half-life mods. Who knows what great new mods will come out of this game? Probably enough to provide me with entertainment for years to come. Valve rock:

DoomII has set a nice precident, along with Duke Nukem series. I think unless someone revolutionaizes the way FPS are played then the only bar that will be raised is the one in the area of graphics. Thus far I think only BF1942 has touched on the way FPS' are played. If you really think about it game play has remained the same since the 3D environment was introduced.

HL still blows it out of the water - and weve seen NOTHING of its MP.

I think Doom 3 will be the best.

People we need to go back in time... a time of duck hunt, wild gunman, leathal enforcer. You know, the one's with the "zapper"... It's my prediction that the next generation of FPS games (Note that I said generation) will again utilize a hands on approach. Perhaps head visors, new control methods, and better force feedback. As for now, the only bar the current FPS's are raising are in the field of graphics. Just imagine a vest or something that jolts you when you get shot... or instead of having a keyboard for controls, you are actually holding a weapon. To me, a game like that will once again raise the bar from the days of duke nukem.

The Technology is here... just hasnt been released to the general public as of yet.
