Titanfall 1 > Titanfall 2
Also, sad to see how underappreciated Halo 5 is. It is def my choicr in the poll.

Pubg should really be on this list. It's gun play is awesome and started a whole new trend in the battle royal.

Yes, console only.
Im so glad Overwatch is winning. Greatness recognises greatness, stay winning era.
Destiny 2 started out rough but it's rounded into shape. Every game has balance issues though but Destiny 2 has the best gunplay of any fps I've played hands down and it's not even close. It's my choice and not sure why it's not on the list.

It is quite close, I love it when it's like this. What an amazing gen for multiplayer console FPS games! I made a thread the other day PS2 Vs Dreamcast, GC and Xbox which was 49/51 but I suppose that's only two options. I've seen some other very close polls too.
Halo. It does what I want a shooter to do, and which none of those others, as much as I might enjoy them, do it.
Really, Siege and Halo are like two entirely different genres of FPS. Compare and contrast to Overwatch and you have a radically different set of beasts.

I'm a Halo man so I'm definitely saying Halo 5. It plays like a dream and offers more ways to play PvP than any previous game in the series (<3 you Warzone). But the other games on that list I've played are also damn good. Battlefield 4 was my first BF game and I loved it. The rumors that the new one will be similar to it make me very happy. And Titanfall 2 is amazing. It gets the nod over the first game because the first game can have balance issues due to how it handles Titan shields. The second game fixes those issues.

I think I made the right choice putting Titanfall 2 instead of 1. There's a lot of TF1 fans but I think there's a lot more TF2 fans.
honestly surprised to see overwatch at the top of this list, but it's early yet. it's what i voted for since it's one of my favorite games of all time and definitely my top multiplayer game. thousands of hours in it and still playing regularly.
but while i am still enjoying the game, i do think there's so much more potential for it to be way bigger than it currently is given how absolutely massive it was on release and for its first year and a half. maybe it wouldn't have gotten any bigger than it did because the battle royale phenomenon was going to happen anyway, but there's a part of me that thinks in an alternate universe where blizzard handled it better, it would still be among the most popular multiplayer games to this day instead of languishing with a quiet and more-often-than-not frustrated userbase. it's certainly not a dead game by any means with millions still playing it monthly, but it's not exactly popping off on twitch/youtube or raking in the big bucks in esports.
i am optimistic though that if overwatch 2 does its pve content right, the big casual audience the first game attracted would be right back in it and the game would have better longevity among that crowd, which in turn would draw in the content creators and high-level players.
special shout-outs to apex legends. had a blast playing it for over a year, and even though it didn't turn out to be the "fortnite killer" that it was looking to be when it first dropped in terms of popularity, it's managed to carve out its own niche in the super competitive battle royale space. i can see myself jumping back in if it's true that overwatch 2 won't be out until much much later in 2022.

Modern Warfare isn't even the best COD game this generation.
From the list though, I was held between Battlefield 4 and Halo 5, eventually voting for Halo, on account of being different and yet so much damn fun

Ive been pleasantly surprised and hooked on MW19, best shooter Ive played in a generation or 2. People like to shit on it, and in some cases it is warrantied, but it completely brought me back to COD since the first MW.
Thats after playing Seige, Titanfall 1+2, Apex and all the BFs. Not to say a lot of those games are not great and top tier as well, its just I have sunk ungodly amount of time into MW19 and Warzone.

Siege is such a unique multiplayer experience, and an amazing breath of fresh air to have a AAA uber competitive tactical game in the FPS space.
Halo 5 gets a ton of brownie points for being basically the only arena shooter left which is still by far the best FPS subgenre even if it's not the best Halo game.
Titanfall is an absolute blast, and by far the most fun out of all those, but it's always felt clunky to me. It's so easy to botch movement and get kicked out of a groove.
Everything else is just chasing trends
Halo is gonna struggle getting the votes because it's locked to 1 platform and not part of MCC on PC, but the fact that it's holding it's own is telling.

Those might be the most amazing poll results I've seen. Almost total equity of votes so far.
I voted Siege. Nothing has ever been like it and it'll be awhile before something does it as well again. Hunt: Showdown is the closest but it's still very different with some similarities.

The best game on this list is an Xbox exclusive so it's gonna lose no matter how little it deserves to.
Damn shame, that. Gotta wonder how people would look at Halo today if Microsoft hadn't royally screwed themselves over at the beginning of last gen.

Yes Halo definitely has the technical victory here. Like JDHarbs said above it's incredible that it's holding its own.
It's nice to see Halo 5 not discussed in the often dismissive, derisive terms that are often found here. It's a genuinely excellent game in MP (and the SP is really good too, even if the story isn't so hot; whether, as a long-term Halo fan, you love/hate the radar/the armour abilities/sprint/the sound a frag makes as it his cloth materials is really secondary, tbh, and is an argument that can run for ever and ever and I'll be delighted never to read it again). So I am glad, as pathetic as that sounds, that a mocked game on a mocked console is holding its own.
Overwatch for me. Twoish years of my life just melted away playing that game on Xbone. I eventually switched to PC, but the early days on the game on console were sublime. Nothing against the other games on the list - played a bunch of them, but nothing hooked me like OW did last gen and continues to do.
Siege is being robbed right now.
It is one of the few games that uses the power of Gen 8 to influence gameplay. That level of destruction and dynamic map elements would not have been possible in Gen 7. It has also been supported for the entire generation, with new content added every few months.

My Top 3 games aren't even on that list.
From that list it's Battlefield 4.
- Battlefront 2
- Killzone: Shadow Fall
- Paladins

Or people who don't have a full team of friends with mics to enjoy.
I mean, I played it a lot during 2015-2017, but not having a team marked my end from enjoying that game. I voted for Apex Legends for that same reason, pinging isn't comparable to mics, but having to deal with only two randoms unlike the full Siege squad is a lot more enjoyable.
