I've never been able to effectively fight an FPS with a Playstation controller (or any other kind) for beans. I prefer ye olde Maus+Keyboarde...

So far it would have to be Medal of Honour.

But I have a really hard time playing FPS' on the PS2. The concept of using one stick to move and the other to shift the camera is just to strange for me.

All PS2 FPS games bow down before the might of Timesplitters 2.

The most fun multiplayer in any FPS anywhere ever, forget all this silly team based counterstriking nonsense we need ultra-hectic multiplayer deathmatch madness. With Monkeys!

FPS for PS2? I think the only ones i've played are Red Faction 1 and 2, RF2 being the better.

As others have said and will no doubt repeat, the PC is waaaaay better than a PS2 for playing FPS.

I've only played two FPS since DOOM II(Playing Halo demos in stores doesn't count): Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando.

Fire Warrior was enjoyable enough, but veteral FPS player won't find anything all that fun about it, unless they happen to be 40K fans on top of it.

Ratchet & Clank is a strange case, because it's really a 3rd-person platformer. However, after beating the game, you get the ability to play the game in a 1st-person mode. Which makes it a fun FPS with the most imaginative weapon selections I've ever seen.

Medal of Honor: Frontline is pretty fun and is almost as good Allied Assault for PC. Of course Rising Sun is total shit and should be burned whenever possible.

I can remember two years ago playing MOH:F and having a blast doing so. I also enjoyed Time Splitters 2, especially with all the different game types, you just need a large screen. There is this exclusive FPS, Killbox, coming out for PS2. I don't have any information on it but it looks decent.
