I just couldn't find anything good to play so i dusted off some old titles like Unreal 2, Vietcong and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Even to this day, the thing that shocked me the most is the detail they put in every single thing. Textures may be low res and they lack of any blur or fancy effects like modern games but they're still enjoyable and fast paced with decent cutscenes and voice acting.

New games now focus on adding some effect or thing that outshines the rest and a crappy cover system, but everything looks like copy and paste and very dull and flat.

I'd like to know some similar games from around 2001-2006 using engines like unreal 2, idtech3, etc.. that i may have missed:

Some remarkable titles that i remember are:

- No one lives forever 2

- Rainbow six 3

- Soldier of fortune

- 007: Nightfire

- Red Faction 1

- Star Wars Republic Commando

I played a lot of SWAT 4 back in the day, did it have some kind of expansion like Raven Shield?

I have no idea what engine these games are based on, but I'd recommend Aliens vs. Predator (that from 1998), and F.E.A.R. There's also Mafia: The City of Lost Haven (Heaven?) from the makers of Vietcong.

Yea, i think they're now 2k games. Oh and found out about Alien vs Predator II (2003). I used to play the demo and it looks promising.

@Gallowhand

Very nice list mate. Didn't know that they made some good Star Trek Game like Elite Force II.

Kingpin looks cool aswell

AVP2 is more technicaly advanced and generally bigger but the 1st game has a very unique atmosphere, plus the marine campaign is scary as hell.
