Urban Assault for UT
Did you ever try Frag Ops for UT2k4?
It was like a fast paced action movie version of counter strike. It had the perfect blend of UT and CS gameplay.

Quake > UT > Tribes > everything else
I never cared for vanilla Quake's over-reliance on rockets and grenades, but that game had sooooo many mods. You could play it a hundred different ways and there were a lot of people dedicated to all of them.
Q2 and Q3 were loads of fun, too. I loved playing Rocket Arena in Q3.
Unreal Tournament was a favorite, but it feels like I didn't play it for that long.
It's tough to deny CS's greatness. I probably had more fun playing CS back in '99-'01 than any other shooter I can recall.
PC elitists might cringe, but the early Halo games were fantastic and highly competitive in MP.
Team Fortress for QuakeWorld was amazing. There was no better Quake mod. It laid the groundwork for all future class-based team multiplayer games (Battlefield 1942 was seriously fun, but it was just TF with vehicles and large maps).
Counterstrike took team-based combat to the next level. it was seriously fun.
Both these games survive today, in modern form. TF2 added a lot of depth that the original was missing, and Counterstrike has been mostly unchanged since beta 6.
I stilll play both on the occasion (when I want to get my ass kicked by kids), so both have great longevity.
And if I must answer the question that everyone will pose in this thread, yes Q3A >> UT99. But both were quickly ditched by me for the more resilient CS and BF 1942.
Iirc I got bored from CS around beta 5 and started playing more action half life which a friend introduced me to, but that one never really seemed to have caughed on, was good fun, but a bit rude around the edges.
Tribes 2
I've got a buddy that just hit the big 5-0, that swears up and down that BF1942: Desert Combat mod is the greatest MP evar.
