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.

Edit: thank you for the recommendations, everyone. This is exactly what I was looking for.

There's quite a few old-school shooters that are open-source, for example:

    Xonotic is an utterly blissful experience, just playing it, but the skillcap is so high everyone deletes me! How do I get into it?!

    Ah yeah, that's tricky. I'm not actually deep into it myself. Maybe you can find a group to play with, like friends, colleagues etc.?

    The friends I know who want to play games are actually quite experienced with these "boomer shooters" apparently, so they delete me but also get deleted. Maybe the parkour maps can help. Or we can put one up on here?

    Is Urban Terror still up and running? I haven't heard that mentioned for awhile.

    Not sure, I've heard of it before myself, but if this is the webpage, then some dev log was posted 18 days ago, so I imagine, there's also still players. 🙃

    I used to play it often on Linux but that was probably 8 years ago or more. It was kind of like counter strike. I was asking because it was proprietary and I didnt know if people recommended playing it anymore. It is free to play.
