So I'm looking for a fun shooter that has an active community. I don't want to play COD because of the community, payed map packs, and generally not very fun game modes. I don't want Battlefield 3 because of Origin, the 60 dollar price tag still, and in general I dislike EA these days.

So yes I'm looking for a fun modern shooter to play with an active community. Does anyone have any suggestions?



PS I know about Team Fortress 2

Tribes Ascend is fun with an active community and it's free - well you have to pay for XP boosts and some equipment, and the XP needed to unlock stuff is quite high so there are drawbacks.

I wanted to get into tribes I really really did, it was just way too difficult and I found myself building turrets or placing claymore the whole match to even get a couple kills.

Something about anticipating where your enemy will be in the next 5 seconds was just too frustrating for me.

personally I prefer shooters that are a little non-traditional like sanctum, which is a FPS tower defense game. It has it's moments but will never hold a candle to TF2 (which is easily my favorite FPS)

EDIT: Other than sanctum there are L4D, L4D2, Killing floor which are all co-op heavy but the L4D games have competitive modes too.

Only other things I can think of are All Points Bulletin, Global Agenda (Both Free-To-Play MMO's though) Borderlands, Space Marine and Gears of War.

Maybe Red Orchestra 2 too

Don't know how bustling any of these are though or if third person is something you wanted.

Gears of war 3 is always a good time. Because they have nerfed the grenade mines in this game people don't really camp too much.
They still camp powerweapons though, like bastards.

I also suggest space marine. Its quite good and has an active community.

You have to have an xbox though :/
