I'm looking for some more online FPS games to play and I'm wondering how good are the MP modes of Q4 and Prey?

Which one is better?
Are there enough players to play with?
Is Q4 MP as fast paced as Q3A was?

Also feel free to recommend me other mp FPS that might be enjoyable!

PS: I already have BF2, CoD 2, Source MP Pack and I'm currently downloading F.E.A.R. Combat

Thanks!

last time I checked Quake 4 it was dead.  I only played about 5 matches prey ever, and that was enough of that.  I assume its dead also.

quake 4 is very similar to q3a online, even the same maps. Q3a is much more popular which is a bit sad. Prey is a spam fest that I found quite stupid, it hasn't got many players either.

Quake 4 is sorta fun online. Prey is DEAD. Last time I was on PREY multi., I found ONE server with TWO people playing in it. :| I can't believe I was dumb enough ot buy the game.

At least Quake 4 has a semi-interesting story, except for the gore and some cursing.  PREY has a horrible amount of cursing, and even when you turn "off" the cursing, the filter is mest up so it doesn't really block the bad words.

TC...You will prolly like FEAR if you were originally lookin into q4 or prey. It has  run-n-gun style gameplay, but also gives you the option to play somewhat tactically, by crouching/and or leaning around corners, which I really like about it.

Prey is only upto 8 players... however it makes you very dizzy. Quake 4 is just like Quake 3 but with worse graphics IMO and not many people play both of them.
