Cultic
Quake
Unreal Tournament
Blood
Half-Life

Honestly as a shooter I'm not a big fan, and don't have the massive love for the first two a lot of others do, I enjoyed Infinite more.

as far as games that still hold up
F.E.A.R and Halo still hold up. Bad Company 2 probably peak of Battlefield. But if a Battlefield genre game is worth a spot, I'd actually give it to Hell Let Loose as janky as it is.

A lot of people hate to hear it but it honestly did next to nothing for the genre. It was kind of an anomaly, a massive hit but nothing was able to come close to matching its success on consoles during that generation, so it stagnated until Halo

So what FPS before Goldeneye had,
Aiming at different body parts doing different damage.
Ammo clip sizes.
Difficulty settings changing objectives?

It did so much that then became the standard for FPS games. Its the first modern shooter.

Descent had all of these before the N64 ever existed. Some of these were made as mods for other games shortly after like quake.

It was only really console gamers first exposure to the genre. It doesnt compare well to PC shooters that came out around the same time, or even earlier.

I say this as someone who unlocked all cheats on three or four separate cartridges.

Ammo clips had been in the genre for awhile, they weren't as popular but there were a few examples, and in particular there were quite a few coming out at the same time that all had that. Beyond headshots, which is the same thing, differing damage is pretty uncommon, and the last has never been a standard thing.

Man this is so wrong lol, especially given Quake came out the year before was the game that had tons of imitators

Counter-Strike is the greatest FPS franchise and it's not even close. Like there isn't even a discussion.

Others are up for debate.

Half-Life, Doom and Quake are my favorites.
Unreal Tournament, Stalker and Metro deserve a mention.
Goldeneye is a classic.
Bioshock maybe.
First few CoD games were amazing, but it's been a steady downwards trajectory for about 15 years now.
I guess Halo is the biggest Xbox FPS title.
Team Fortress.

That's about it.
