Counterstrike and ARMA2.
Also why not try some TF2 and Unreal2k4 :)

^^Ye, quakelive definitely helps. Just learning how to strafe jump and rocket jump gives you a better overall control of the mouse/keyboard. Dueling in QL helps you think of good strats, and keeping the times of the armors and health keep your mind sharp. It is fast paced, so it helps build up for quicker reaction times, etc. But there is no reloading weapons which is great, I prefer games like that. But when you go to a game that does have reload, you do have to change how you play, so to an QL can't teach that. Either way, pretty sure no matter what, 1 game wont get you to become good at all FPS games. QuakeLive is free, so doesnt hurt to at least try it out though, even just once in a while. Some of the other games in here are and prob will be good suggestions too. So just find a few FPS games you like, and stick to those, be patient and take the time to learn them, and for sure your skills will go up.

Quake LIVE is a blast to play, and helps immensely with twitch-based shooters.

TF2 is just plain fun, helps in general with shooting games... in general.

CS: Source is probably the most intense team-based shooter I've ever had the privilege of playing. CS: Source, if you are looking for just one.

For "Overall" FPS skill Quake Live should be the game to play.

Okay, thanks guys. Been playing UT 2k4 and Quake Live now, and I think that Quake Live will indeed make me a better player in FPS's overall, because it's so fast paced.

I'll give TF2 a go someday too.

ARMA2 on the highest difficulty, 1 shot and your dead.
