Did you try America's Army 3 ? really nice FPS shooter created by the US Army.
I would not recommend any CoD games or SWTOR.

I'd look into games like Tribes Ascend, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 or Quake Live. Those are games I currently play when I need that MP fix.

Savage was cool. I like to blame S2 for them doing so poorly.
NS1 was awesome, one of my favorite FPS games of all time. NS2 is just kinda lol, the engine they made is so poorly optimized and the server code is still largely in shambles, they haven't really got to actually making the gameplay anything beyond semi-playable. It's a shame really.
I recommend LoL/HoN/Dota 2. Especially dota 2 since I think it's the best of the bunch. Big learning curve but something about the genre just makes me want to play hours on end

lol Tribes.. Quake.. effectively the two worst games for me  ! I got destroyed so badly in Tribes I decided to never embarrass myself that poorly ever again TF2 is a good call, I'd enjoy it far more if it had some persistent, mmo like functionality. If only Global Agenda didnt suck so bad.. Did they improve it at all since release?

I dunno about NS2, they've made some massive improvements recently so if its been a while since you checked it out go check out the NS2HD channel on youtube. Still, I havent actually played it, so that might just be some good PR polish ..
I enjoy HON/LOL but the communities are so fucking horrid I get irritated and stop playing. You make one wrong move and its "HEY FAG, FUCK YOU".. I've played HON since beta and its *always* been that way, LOL felt even worse!

Thing is, the best multiplayer games don't have the kind of progression, that say an MMO has. Especially PvP games, where equal footing at the start of a match is a priority. For PvP, I think MMOs are too item focused, thus the outcome is not all about skill, but about time and dedication to grinding as well. I don't like those to be factors.

Also, yeah, MOBA games have the worst communities, I think it has to do with the game design itself. Nothing beats having to wait 40 seconds for your respawn, time enough to vent your frustration. That's one of the reasons I prefer strategies, you might lose your whole damned army, and still win eventually, if you make good decisions. MOBAs are about that one single character, when that gets fucked with, you get fucked with. Not only do you stay inactive, when you lose to an enemy once, the more times he beats you, the less chance you have of catching up.
I find the SC2 community so much more mature to be honest.

if you love wow, you should give Rift a go, at least first 20 lvls trial ( even tho thats probably weakest part of the game, and strongest would be when you hit lvl 50, i used to say game starts at max lvl in wow, but you cant even compare that to rift.. its 5 times that )
sc2 custom maps you should give them a go, wc3 custom maps still alive and kicking, tho some older superb maps are barely hosted, but nothing stops you doing that
NWLL (crysis mechwarrior mod )

Ahh Rift.. See, I enjoyed Rift, I really did, but leveling felt like a grind, I got to about level 20, the zones where empty, no dungeons or online community, the PVP was meh at that level.. Another MMO I wished was better..
WAR, now that was a good PVP game in the beginning.. then they killed it.. Although I did hear they'd brought back some of the good stuff?

You should try World of Tanks if you want a nice balance between skills and strategy/teamwork.

As above I guess, do I have to be decent at FPS games to actually be useful? |
Some skills obviously help but a good positioning/being in the right place at the right time is much more important, imo. And patience, a lot of patience  |

Tried the Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2? Great squad teamwork, great tactics, slower gameplay. Rewards tactics over reflexes. But, there's no leveling up (sense of progression?). It's not an MMO.

Well, you do need to spend 10 euros to create a clan.
