Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners?

An anonymous reader writes "I have been playing videogames for years, but only recently got a DSL line in my house and so have never played any online games before now, as dial up was always too slow. Now that I have a fast connection, I want to get into online gaming, FPS gaming in particular. My problem is that Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, Quake and all the other popular games seem to be dominated by people using cheats, and by established clans of players who are a lot better than me. Are there any online FPS games or servers whose barriers to entry are not too high for the average player? I am looking for something that I can just connect to for a half an hour now and then when I am bored and can have fun with."

Nah.. there are a bunch of demo servers with lots of newbs on them.. and the game isn't very complicated.. except for being the team commander, which takes a bit of trial/error to learn.

This isn't a communist arena, it's a competition. You play to succeed and win. Don't kick the guy who's doing well, take the initiative on your own and go to a different server.

TFC is also not free software and not ported to anything other than windows. and btw, Snipers ruin the game.
