I think Half Life has to take the cake. It basically invented campaign mode as we know it today, with real voiceover acting and non-linear maps. It's hard to think of a game as revolutionary since HL came out.

not obscure at all - it was the sequel to Heretic and there was also a Hexen II

Hexen was basically a fantasy version of the doom engine where you played either a fighter (melee tank), a mage (ranged low hp), or a cleric (balanced)

Most FPS games don't play at all like Doom, though. I think you could defensibly argue that Halo, or COD4, or even Battlefield are more influential over what the norms are today.

-Doom's multiplayer is 4-player deathmatch; the trend in modern shooters is towards very large games with lots of players.

-Doom has non-linear levels with secret doors and stuff; modern single-player FPS tends to be very linear.

-In Doom your enemies are demons from Hell, instead of the military or sci-fi themes that dominate most FPS games (yeah, Doom is "sci-fi," but not in the way something like Halo is).

-Doom has depleting health that recovers with med-kits, instead of automatically restoring health which has been super-common ever since Halo.

Basically, Doom was the first popular FPS, but beyond "being a first person shooter" most of its specific traits aren't prominent in modern shooter games. And since it didn't create the genre either (Wolfenstein did), I feel you could easily make the case that later games are more influential.

There's a strong argument to be made for Halo, with the recovering health mechanic being in basically every game now. Before it was always a fixed pool with some medkits or recovery mechanics in various parts of the level.

I think the "sit in cover and autoheal" mechanic is seriously shit, but it is now everywhere because of Halo.

Wolfenstein was definitely game changing, but I think Goldeneye brought the FPS genre to the masses in a way that opened the door to Counterstrike and the next gen. Halo was too late to get credit.

considering consoles >>>>> PC in terms of popularity I would say goldeneye (first console multiplayer FPS) and COD 4. Also Halo 1/2.

I don't think the Wolfenstein v. Doom argument is really productive since they are basically the same game engine

honestly, I would bundle the entire line of id software titles for this purpose to say the id software line (Wolfenstein-Doom-Quake) was the most influential for FPS

It didn't really hit the mainstream until console players got involved. Since COD4, we've had 4-5 online FPS games released every year. COD4 started this trend

just to be contrarian you could also conceivably argue Unreal, given it spawned the Unreal game engine which went on to power the vast majority of fps games in the late 90s through to today

Wolf 3D and Doom for basically inventing the genre.

Half-Life for transforming the single player side of the genre from basic, level-based killboxes into narrative adventures. And on the multiplayer side, for spawning CS, among the most successful and influential mods of all time.

Half-Life 2 for introducing physics.

PUBG for inventing and popularizing the Battle Royale genre. Love it or hate it, Battle Royale defines the modern FPS (PUBG, Fortnite, Apex, Warzone) and has made the genre more popular and culturally relevant than ever.

I know everyone says Doom, but I never got into Doom even though I was the perfect demographic for it. It always felt too 2 dimensional and repetitive/predictable. Wolfenstein felt more innovative to me, and I think a lot of people who got into Doom had just never played Wolfenstein.

Half Life was the first FPS that actually got me hooked. It had a really cool look and feel with the jumping and shit. HL2 was maybe the apex. Spawned TF2 and CS, which still has an active community today. Pretty sure all potus multiplayer FPS were Valve products.

I think Charles has it right that Doom/Wolfenstein set the standard for the genre the way Mario 64 did for adventure games, but similarly aren't relevant to modern games.

The two most popular types of FPS, deathmatch and battle royale, can respectively trace their modern origins to Halo and DayZ.

Halo is absolutely not the root of "deathmatch."

That path runs from Doom to Quake (including the original Team Fortress and Q3 Rocket Arena) to Unreal Tournament.

Hell even games like Rainbow Six were doing competitive ladder deathmatch before Halo existed.

Doom/Wolf and it's not even close.

Half-Life was not even the progenator of "narrative campaigns," the main reason cited in its favor. Many games before had them. Half-Life just happened to set a new high water mark.

Single player FPS is flame.

FPS is all about multiplayer over the internet since that's how you get thousands of hours of replay-ability.
