I have fond memories of that franchise. Shame it died when COD became a mainstream cash cow. Managed to get my boomer dad into it. Never figured out that left and right analogue could be used together and played it like it was Resident Evil 1 controls (walk straight, stop and turn, continue walking), but somehow he managed to complete the campaign for one of them.

Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Dark Forces, Goldeneye.

I dabbled in Quake.

I think I was really blown away graphically by Unreal.

My personal favorite is Clive Barker's Undying...

I got sick of genre by the mid-00's

One of the things i will always remember about that game was a soldier sacrificing himself by falling on a grenade and covering the blast with his body.
I think it's something that occurse very rarely because it happened only once for me and i can't find any videos of it anywhere.
Still, it was one of the only few times i actualy felt bad about killing something on a videogame.
And yeah, everyone trying to copy CoD was just stupid, but in my opinion the biggest victim of this was Resistance 2, felt like the game was made by an entirely different team compared to the first one.

Probably the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Given how violent most FPS games are, and the fact that as a kid, I was a textbook Nintendo fanboy, they were my introduction to the genre, as my parents wouldn't let me play M-rated games until I was partway through middle school.

I remember having to escort an NPC in either Frontline or Allied Assault, and he had a ton of health, so my friend and I were attacking him to see just how invincible he was. He shocked us both by diving on top of a grenade. It exploded, and he got back up, saying something like, "I'm hit, but I'm okay for now!"

My cousin let me play Halo 2 on release because I was staying the night at his house. I vaguely remember playing on coagulation and hiding in the caves.
 
Kinda funny looking back but the first one I remember playing was Medal of Honor Vanguard, I didn't get into fps games until 2007 and for some reason I wanted it to be that haha. Call of Duty 3 was a little after that.
 
I would say black for the ps2 but if weren't for the fact That i played the game like how you would expect 5yo to play a fps : Shit also the game Isn't good I'd say 007 nightfire and soldier of fortune the latter which i fucking loved and nightfire being my very first fps game i ACTUALLY knew how to play

Doom. Later played Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein too. Man I feel old now
 
First FPS I ever touched? Doom. My dad was huge on FPSs during the 90s, and I recall one time were he put my 5 year old self into a deathmatch map with him. Could barely move, so it was more entertainment for him than for me.

Wasn't until years later that he got us the Half-Life Platinum edition and taught us to worship at the altar of Valve.
 
Wolfenstein 3D followed by Doom / Doom 2 then Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior and the usual others around that era. Rise of the Triad, Tek War (LOL), Blood.

Honestly I didn't play Doom very much, Doom 2 came out and it was the all around better game. Played it online with various dialup services along with Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior.
 
I want to say TimeSplitters, but I'm almost positive there must have been something before that since it was on the PS2.

TimeSplitters certainly made the first big impression on me.

Same.
The best thing in Wolf3D was to use a map editor to change the tile used for secret doors, so you could easily find them.

Why would you change the graphics rather than remove the secret doors, you may ask? Because removing the doors prevented them from counting as found secrets, where changing the sprite kept the block flagged as a secret door for completion bonuses.
