Are there any good old-school first person shooter games still active? Halo Infinite is fun but Microsoft’s crap is frustrating. I miss Wolfenstein Enemy Territory from back in the day. Halo Custom Edition was awesome, too.
Dirty bomb
Quake Champions is free, its close enough to the OG arena shooters to scratch the itch. Or there’s Quake Live, it’s not free, but it’s cheap and I’m always able to find games online.
If you’re open to playing against small groups, Straftat is an absolute riot. It started out as just a 1v1 game, but now you can play with 4 people. It’s free, there’s a ton of weird guns and maps, and the soundtrack slaps. They do sell a DLC that has hats, and additional maps, but the base game is free. I bought the DLC to support further development of the game.
@burgermeister … is team fortress 2 modern? probably not…is it free? is it super fun? ye.
I downloaded the new TF2 Classified, it’s alright
There’s quite a few old-school shooters that are open-source, for example:
-
https://xonotic.org/ is a Quake-like arena shooter.
-
https://unvanquished.net/ is an asymmetric arena shooter (humans vs. aliens) with RTS elements.
Xonotic is an utterly blissful experience, just playing it, but the skillcap is so high everyone deletes me! How do I get into it?!
Is Urban Terror still up and running? I haven’t heard that mentioned for awhile.
Hell yeah
Holy shit is Unvanquished a remake of the old Tremulous game? I used to love it. It has now been kept updated on github
Wikipedia calls it a “spiritual successor” to Tremulous. 😅

I have been and will always be a fan of Splitgate. Even if you don’t like the portal gameplay, the movement and gunplay is absolutely solid.
Enemy Territory is still around in the form of ET: Legacy. Not sure how active it is but maybe you could find some willing players on here.
Hell yeah
No one lives forever
Kinda depends on how old-school you are looking for, but Splitgate is a fun free modern take on the arena shooter genre
What you want is Selaco.
Edit: Whoops, I missed the word “free.” I was focusing on “old-school.”
Looks cool
