Multiplayer FPS Action Games

Ever since Quake started offering options for play over the Internet, multiplayer first-person shooters have been a dominant force in online gaming. Today FPS fans have a remarkable variety of settings and mods to choose from. These are the titles I would most recommend for the PC - the list is not based soley on the game's popularity. Hands-on experience, user feedback, and an active community are among the things I consider when compiling these lists. The emphasis is on current games for current computers, not classics that peaked before the turn of the century. They are ultimately just my opinion, so if you feel I've missed something, you're welcome to make a suggestion.

This is a stand-alone remake of the famous Team Fortress mod for Quake that helped popularize online gaming back in the late 90s. Team Fortress 2 isn't the most sophisticated multiplayer shooter on the market, but it recaptures the player classes and teamplay of earlier games in the series beautifully. It features a distinctly cartoonish appearance that fits it extremely well and gives it an extra dose of character. It has received steady updates since its release in 2007, including plenty of new maps, and recently, a cosmetic item shop. Now selling for just $10, you can't really go wrong with TF2.
