Evolution of first person shooters on PC

Here are screenshots of most of the best PC first person shooters of all time ordered by time of release.

    Medal of Honor: Airborne somehow wasn't one of the best, it was a mediocre game. Modern warfare is on the list and Bad company 2 was not yet released when this list was made ;)

    The screenshot was replaced, but it was Doom 2 before that.

    You should add some, if not all, of the Rainbow Six series. They really defined the Strategic/Tactical FPS games.

    Why is the Doom screenshot from Doom 2? I do realize there wasn't really any difference in the engine but I'm pretty sure that's Level 2 from Doom 2.

    Also, the No One Lives Forever screenshots look like they're from the same game. Even the guy in the suit and glasses has the same blood spot.

    Although, you have the games that they're based on (Half-Life and Half-Life 2), why not have Counter-Strike/Counter-Strike: Source on there?

    Also, Quake 4 and maybe Enemy Territory: Quake Wars if only to just complete the series.

    Nice list though.
