Quake II hands down is up there in the top 3 best FPS multiplayer...
i'll tell ya why...
i've played it for roughly 7 years now, (still do), and the amount of techniques / jumps / strategy involved is immense.. .currently, the only map that is really played is q2dm1.. i've never played any other multiplayer FPS that entailed so many techniques / jumps.. its a game that you need to play for several years on end in order to get good at and even think about competing on the level the current (small) community is at..
i've played all the other newer games as well... nothing quite matches it in terms of individual skill... most games now, make you rely on a team which i don't like so much since i'm not in a clan. q2 is fast paced, primarily all about your own skill, and highly competitive.
--and also, since ID software knows quake2 is the best of all 3.. Quake4 is going to be more like quake2, opposed to quake3 or 1. ;)
