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."

    First post is everything, second post is nothing. Second posters are worth less than the dogshit I stepped on today.

    At least second posters are in there, mixin it up. Shitbags, like Vomit up there, couldn't even come close to a first post. I salute second posters for their infinite strife.

    Second posters are > you if they call it as the second post. But I agree second posts that call first post suck cocks like they come in candy flavors.

    "Isn't it interesting how you can make anything sound omnious just by adding "of Doom" to the end?"

    "Shut the Fuck Up of Doom".. by gum, you're right!
