"Day of Defeat: Source" by Windows
What makes a great game? Sometimes it is novel gameplay. Sometimes it is just something "fun". But a really great game is one you come back to night after night after night.
In terms of hours spent, DoD is my favorite game of all time. In terms of enjoyment per dollar, DoD is like a singularity :) Unlike Everquest, it takes almost no money to enjoy DoD for months on end.
I thought the original DoD was fantastic but the sequel based on the Half-Life2 engine came out at Thanksgiving 2005 and it is even better. There is no story here, just instant and total online multiplayer action. You can play for 20 minutes or 8 hours at a stretch. If you like realism and teamwork in your FPS games, DoD:S cant be beat.
Whether you buy it at Amazon or as a download, BUY IT. Developers of such great products deserve the money!(And if you do buy it, you can shoot me as Silver9 on the 1st CPB server. Im not a member but I usually play there.)
