Need help picking a new online shooter.

Closed

For almost a decade I've been playing Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. It's still an awesome game, I love it and play it all the time still. But for a while now I've been looking for something new. There's nothing left to discover in Wolf:ET for me, it's all about just getting better now and, not to brag, but I'm very good. So I've been looking for a new online shooter to play.

I played Call of Duty 4 for a bit when it first came out, but now it's all tactical servers that ban you if you put your ironsights down for a single second and there's all kinds of other tomfoolery as well.

Tried Team Fortress Two a bit but there was a lot of nonesense there as well and that was if you could even find a decent server that wasn't already full.

Tried Enemy Territory Quake Wars but the aliens ruin it for me for a number of reasons.

Tried Brink as well but SD refuses to give it proper support and it's still in basically a beta stage of development.

Tried Battlefield BC2, but there seemed to be a pretty unreasonable barrier to entry trying to get into the game this long after it's release. I either find ghost servers or servers where I'm constantly surrounded by explosions and snipers are a dime a dozen.

So I think those are all the main ones I've tried, but I'm sure there are others I don't remember right now because of how shortlived my interest in them was. What suggestions do you guys have for some games I could try?

As a long time (both ways meaning playing for long and also played a long time ago last) ET player i can say this. Not one game has reached the greatness of ET. Honestly, it is a one of a kind game you can't find a modern day successor to. :(

Tribes ascend would be my recommendation.

Oh actually I might ask, have you ever tried HL2 mod Empires? It is getting a little old now but has similar gameplay. I mean it's not exactly a new game but it would be new to you if you haven't tried it.

Basically a RTS/FPS. It can be similar to ET in a sense that some maps are objective based. Some maps are regular rts meaning capture resource points and take down enemy base. It has pretty much the same medic system and a bunch of other stuff. Haven't played Empire in a long time either though.
