I used to like to play multiplayer arena shooter games a lot.  Around 1999-2000 or so, I played Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena online quite a bit, and later went to Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 3.  I also played Duke Nukem Forever online when that came out.  Recently, I've occasionally wanted to play arena shooters online again occasionally - mainly Unreal Tournament 3, but over the last few years, I've noticed the list of online servers significantly dwindling.  Now, I can't even log in to Unreal Tournament 3, and I've heard Epic has removed the online services for those games.  I found that there are still active servers for the original Unreal Tournament (from 1999) though.  I always thought that was a fun game, so I migh tbe playing that online again now.

I've also heard Quake 3 is still active.

Xonotic is a newer, free open-source arena shooter (available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS).  It's fun, though it's not very active online, unfortunately.
