I prefer a whole lot of thought in an FPS or it gets real boring after 
an hour or so... The more thought, the longer I remain addicted... and 
want to come back to the game over and over... One of the best and most 
complex games like this was Dark Forces 1.  First game I ever saw with 
floored levels... Areas over top of other areas... within the same 
general level.  I also like lots of secrets... but I usually go get the 
secrets guide since I don't always want to flesh them out manually.

Half-Life was great for complexity and story.... makes it feel real.  
Sometimes really creepy too... in a catacomb... find a resting spot...  
hope no more of those skeletal warriors pop out of nowhere and lop your 
head off...sounds of dripping water.  (Return to Castle Wolfenstein)
