HL 2 or Battlefield 2 if you're into more online based shennanigans
Forget Call of Duty 2 because it's poo. Far Cry you can now pick up for a tenner, which isn't bad. Quake 4 and Doom 3 I found pretty tedious to be honest, but thats just my opinion.
Oh, and FEAR's rather repetitive, but not too shabby. Needs a pretty quick PC though.

Got BF2.
I fancied a game thats one-player and offers a progression through the game as apposed to pick-up-and-play style of the ones I play at the moment (BF2, GTLegends, GTR...)

Far cry is by far the best story based FPS game I've ever played. It's brilliant, but play it on one of the harder settings for maximum enjoyment.
BLASPHEMER! "Deus ex" is the best single player FPS. Ever.
FarCry was a cracking game, i loved the way the music would react to the environment too..

To be honest, with software as cheap as it is, I would get both HL2 and Far Cry. HL2 works better on slower machines, but Far Cry has update patches to enable High Dynamic Range lighting. Far Cry does have annoyances though, like the enemy being able to see you despite you being totally covered by vegetation.
They really should release Warren Spector's back-catalogue. Ultima Underworld (1 and 2), Thief (1, 2, and 3), System Shock (1 and 2) and Deus Ex. They all show up the current crop of shooters as brainless linear shooters. The only current game which comes anywhere close is Oblivion (when it isn't busy crashing).

Yep, both HL2 and Far Cry tick all the right FPS boxes, although the latter does get annoying, as has been stated, you can't hide without being seen, every time - and there are too many 'baddies' near the end, spoiling the game, IMHO.
Another top notch stealth/FPS is Project IGI2, I loved that game, it has everything in it, cool sniping, well thought out mission objectives, and, on the whole, pretty cool!

Bargin! Decided on HL2, based purely on the fact that HL1 was one of the best games I've played
Far Cry should be cheap to pick up once I've finished HL2
Good choice! Doom3 I found a bit dull. Great graphics. Great sound. High suspense. Same creature over and over again at points that did not make sense.
Half Life. Episode 1 looks good. http://ep1.half-life2.com/
