Valve made a shooter that at least feels like it was built from the ground up so that all the pieces fit together. While not an amazing feat by any means, there just aren't that many games (let alone an FPS) that can also make that claim.

The actual shooting mechanics are pretty boring, and so are the other physical interactions allocated the player. The major sticking point is that it all works together, the seams and lines are cleverly hidden or difficult to spot so uh, I guess Valve is fantastic at whatever is the videogame equivalent to editing in movies.

OR

There's a shit ton of FPS games out there - most of them are terrible so anything that's competent in all departments is automatically amazing.

1-10: Crysis

marginally a joke post, Crysis is a fantastic example of modern shooter trends - from the gameplay design flaws to (the sort-of) conceived from the ground up fit
