>>From 1998 to 2001, I wasted many hours on Quake2/3 deathmatch on the 
internet.  I would love to have those days back, but of course, they're 
gone.  Are there any games out there today that match Quake's level of 
intensity, action and fun?  Paritcularly a free-for-all deathmatch?

After Quake, I played Counterstrike and loved that, too, but nothing has 
matched Q.  Most games since then have seemed to be more like CS with more 
"realism" -- which I admire -- but I think detracts from the fun level.

I don't go around buying every game, so please don't think I'm being pompous 
in my defense of Q, but nothing in the 21st century has impressed me thus 
far.  Are there any fun, fast, crazy, wild deathmatch FPS games out there 
that could hold a candle to Q and rekindle that flame?  I'm bored...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
