Use Unity a lot of people use it and it's great to use for first person and making a map.

Unity isnt easy !

 

[Dayron1234]

So why make a game if you think Unity is not easy?

 

[Heaplink]

Unity isnt easy !

It is really easy compared to other methods. Making good games is not easy (story telling, graphic, coding) and not to talk about if you would make a game in a native language like C++, Java or anything else - come back when you have tried that. Unity is made for developers who wan't to learn to make games with a great engine and platform that is easy to go with.

Some of the most popular PC First Person games are based upon Source Engine.

- Team Fortress 2
- Garry's Mod
- Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
- Portal 1 & 2

im currently using game maker for school
easy to use, i dont know what you can make with it i guess you can make like mario and stuff

 

[iHarrison]

Source, definitely. Or unity.

CryEngine looks good, but it's insanely expensive for commercial game development. Unreal also looks good, so does Source & Unity.
Tbfh, it'd be best for you if you developed your own minimal framework, so you gain an understanding into how a game works, what components are needed, etc.

I'd suggest learning C or C++ for game development, if you want full blown control over your code, and no abstractions (like XNA)

To the person who asked if you could make an FPS with java.

Look at Minecraft.
That's Java.

So yes, you can.
