Stick to Counter Strike. One of the best online games available for the PC and there aren't any extra charges.

Try Starcraft- Hardly anyone uses it online, but the multiplayer on it ownz! The maps are great, and you can complete an online game within a few hours!

Go for Battlefiled. It does lag, and this coming from someone who has broadband and a respectably low ping, but it's not often you get onto a server which lags beyond playability, unless you keep going for the big 64 player servers like I do.

It's an extremely fun game, one of the most fun online games I've played actually, there's so much to do it never really becomes as tedious as games like Counter-Tripe and Unreal Torment. The vehicles are a joy to play around with, I love using the tanks to charge into enemy bases and blow as much people up as I can before I get destroyed, just as much as I love mining the runway of an enemy aircraft carrier and then sitting back and watch the fireworks disply as helpless enemies try to take off. Very fun and entertaining.

Surely the smaller games are more fun though? I mean 64 players on one map, there must be a lot of spawning, and dying happeneing before you really get into the game?

I like big servers, lots more to shoot and battlefield does come with some exceptionally huge maps. Plus spawn points are spread out around the maps, capturing flag basically captures new spawn points so you don't usually get hundreds of players spawning in the same place unless there is only one flag left, and that's when things get a little more hectic.

The only real trouble with big servers is that quite a few players will always seem intent on getting into an airplane as soon as possible, so you'll always see a group of gooners waiting for planes to get spawned in, and they're easy pickings for any enemy camper or pilot.
