    Warrock and GUNZ,
    Warrock for BF2 fan but it free, feel very much like BF2
    GUNZ for The Matrix fan, like running on wall, double jump and shoot, katana sword play, combo, stuff like that
    Those 2 are good shooter online now
    Or you can try Gunbound, very traditional.

    Battlefield 2: Deluxe Edition (Includes Special Forces maps for $10 more, when SF is $20 seperate.
    Call of Duty 2

    Don't forget about Battlefiled 2142. It's not out yet, but it's going to be a great game.

    Yeah bf2 is great (although I only get 22 servers on patch 1.3, and its getting smaller by the month), also anything UT(unreal tournament) is good. Even the original UT has HUGE online following, so no matter which you get your bound to find many games. ALso UT are the premier LAN FPS games :D.

    Well, besides BF2 and AA, I would recommend Command and Conquer:Renegade. It's an older game, but still has a loyal following and is quite fun.

    TF2 TF2 TF2! TF2 TF2 TF2!!!
    Lalalalaaaaa!

    Of course, there's slight complication that it isn't out yet... But it will be, in a couple of months. And if it's anything like the original Team Fortress, it'll be pure awesomeness... :p

    i got bf2 yesterday and the game looks and plays great. however i just cant seem to enjoy it too much due to the aircrafts being too powerful, respawn times (a pet peeve), and the fact that i die real fast lol. any tips on making this experience more enjoyable?

    Put on headphones so you can hear the guys coming, or where they are shooting from. Then you have time to take cover and/or shoot back. And don't stand still.

    also in individual gun battles, moving around forward back side to side etc. sounds very elementary but most people dont vary it. if you can get it down, it's very hard to hit.
