The original Sea of Thieves. Free and will always be better. RIP.

The Punisher third person shooter, hands down. Great, extremely violent game left unfinished.
Special mention goes out to HellMOO. After Gilmore's mental breakdown the game NOTICEABLY slowed down.
Asheron's Call 2, but there's no way it'd survive in today's mmo market.
MDK 2
Mostly because of how goofy it was. It's on Steam though so I'll probably pick it up again at some point.
Pre-Mannconomy TF2
Age of Empires Online before they shut servers. Only third parties host them now.
I'm going to hold a candle for Timesplitters, War of the Monsters, and Ape Escape until the end of my days.
Hoping that the recent news about the Timesplitters IP leads to some new fruit.

You can still play the online multiplayer today. I invited a friend over last weekend and we had some good fun
BioShock 2 multiplayer
You can also still play this
Build and Shoot • Download
holy fuck are you serious? I've always hoped someone would restore that version of the game, I had no idea it was already a thing
This is nice, but I've never caught a game on an oldschool generated map and the smg kinda ruins it.
There's also OpenSpades. Honestly, it's depressing how the game was slaughtered after it was bought out.

I miss this game, it was my childhood tbh. One of the first few PC games I had and actually sunk a multitude of hours in as a kid. I'd always make the best parks, then re-enact the Nedry incident and let out the most violent carnivores until the park was in ruins. Then repeated it over and over again
I made so many things in this kitchen...

I sorta miss playstation home. Played it way too much.
Speaking of F2P racing mmos:
Need for Speed World
https://youtu.be/SPJdZlU7MEg
I remember spending a lot of time racing in the game in 2013-2014, I specifically created a YouTube playlist of Eurobeat songs from initial d to listen to while playing and many of my cars were based of initial d cars as well.
I stopped for a while before going back to it in mid 2015 only to find out that the game was shutting down soon. On the day the servers closed(or the day before), I opened up the game and went racing one last time on the Christmas event race which I won. Then I took some screenshots of my garage before finally closing the game for the last time.
It wasn’t the best racing game, but looking back at it, it was great for the amount of fun it gave me for the period. And compared to need for speed now, it’s probably a lot better than what we have now. The game had so much potential, if only Blackbox wasn’t shutdown and the development was handed to an inexperienced team who don’t even know how the game function despite months of training to the point that even something as simple as pool rotation for cars on sale stopped working. There’s an turnpike in the game that was meant for a map expansion (rumoured to be NFS Undercover’s TriCity Area) and canyons from NFS Carbon which were promised in 2012, never got released at all due to Blackbox shutting down.
Battlefield 2142, even though there's still a server going it's dead for all intents and purposes
Tribes 2, particularly RevMod 2 and ACCM
Several HL1 mods - Firearms, Hostile Intent, Resident Evil: Cold Blood
Strike Force for UT99
UT99 its self
True Combat: Elite for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and Wolf:ET its self
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Wood Wars in Gmod, it's been supplanted by the likes of GCombat and ACF of which each is much less accessible than the last
Delta Force series, particularly 2, Land Warrior and Blackhawk Down
I played some Ragnarok Online when I was (relatively) younger and I have to say that it had the most deep and varied class progression system I've ever seen in a roleplaying videogame, or in any MMORPG, at any rate.
Basically in that game you could be whatever the fuck you wanted to be, provided you knew how to unlock the different stages of your class of choice and could overcome the sluggish progression pace of your typical Korean MMORPG. The game had a high-fantasy-ish setting, yet you could roll a gunslinger looking like a damn cowboy. You could roll a mad scientist capable of creating living alchemical horrors as combat pets, a creator. You could be different flavors of warrior, rogue and wizard, sure, but you could roll a fucking soul linker and channel all of them in a very unortodox and hard-to-master playstyle. Hell, you could even level up the base class, the novice, and become a viable late game hero called the super novice.
It's a real shame I didn't manage to play it far more, as I was younger and could bring myself to learn and master everything I needed to level up consistently and access the right content, resulting in me getting bored and leaving after a good while.
It also didn't help matters how selective I've become when it comes to MMORPGs (to the point I still wonder if it's a genre I may have any interest in)

Gameplay and music were so good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h22thYhPCNw
i still whistle this music from time to time
The only game that I've ever invested in a shit ton of time and heart.
Made me cry when I found out they were shutting down for such a bullshit reason.
Mabinogi, Guild Wars 1, Jedi Knight series.
Honestly, I could probably pick up Mabinogi again but I don't think I have the same enthusiasm (or at least initiative) for gaming as I did before.
Command and Conquer
UT2k4 like @Danzadan mentioned. I miss the trials maps that had porn hidden in secret areas
Sacrifice. I'd give almost anything for a sequel or remake.
Freedom Fighters
Mercenaries
I'm sad now
Mercenaries: Playground Of Destruction. My old Xbox stopped being able to read discs a while ago, and the 360 does a shitty job emulating it (it freezes and crashes all the goddamn time). I heard the Xbone does a much better job emulating it but I don't have one nor do I want to buy one just to emulate one game. So I pretty much have no way to play it now, and god damn do I miss it. It was the definitive "fuck shit up" game. The Just Cause games are good mayhem simulators, but it's just not the same without the ability to call in a carpet bomb to level entire city blocks at once.
Anything from older Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Still playing them to this day.
