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.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
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. 😅
