what about deus ex human revoloution?hugely story driven, intense, tight action, etc. the only reason i didn't mention it is because we were talking about multiplayer. there's a lot of good story driven FPSs, but there's not a lot that do something totally new and fresh in the realm of multiplayer. btw mgs wasn't an FPS, and if you're bringing that up then i have no choice *cracks knuckles* dead space. totally pimpin.
