Bad thing about Unreal Tournament III is was it was adopted by a much smaller comunity than UT 2K3/4, which means that sometimes is hard to find servers with a significative amount of player, desired ping and/or focused in your favourite game mode.
Is a shame, because in terms or weapon balance, motion and map designs is to me the best in the franchise. The bad side is that the campaign is the worst in the saga, and the Conquest mode isn't as evolutionary as Assault and Onslaught were in the past. Most of the people think that the changes were too litle and the requirements are bigger than in UT2004, so many of them stand in the UT2004 game. IMO UT III is great in terms of gameplay: I enjoy a lot the the weapons because there's no one equal to another, all of them with at least two modes of fires and very skill demanding...
The tactical uses are endless, and the Shock Rifle is to myself the best PvP weapon in a online fps ever. I play the PS3 version with keyboard and mouse -because is the only shooter which supports this controls in the console-, aun usually play in PC Quake Wars or Crysis Wars -the last one has the same problems of low population-. Aside from UT3, my recomendations would be BF2 or QW, but I must recognize that mostly of the fps shooters in PC are playing COD 4 these days.
About L4D, I would not recomend it: it feels and looks more as a mod than as full game, and I doubt that any player will keep playing it after two moths. Good cooperative, ok, but once you play for 2-3 weeks the people start to boring about and leave the servers. At the end, you notice that your'e playing vs bots, and playing a good teamwork squad in BF2 vs humans is much more satisfying.
