Are there any good old-school first person shooter games still active? Halo Infinite is fun but Microsoft's crap is frustrating. I miss Wolfenstein Enemy Territory from back in the day. Halo Custom Edition was awesome, too.

Edit: thank you for the recommendations, everyone. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Damn, your definition of old-school is very different from mine.

My go-to free old-school shooter is Freedoom. Completely free assets for the open source Doom engine form a completely free and open source game. They are currently working on giving Quake the same treatment.

Slightly newer are the Unreal games which can be downloaded for free from https://oldunreal.com/ with the blessings of Epic. I think technically you would also be allowed to get UT3 but nobody wants that.
