One of my favorite PC games that I used to play. There was a lot and probably still is a lot of drama inside this game. Sierra Entertainment, the company that hosted and published the server for the game, recently dropped the game and it's master servers leaving a lot of it's players in the dark. Several players of the game and a company fought in a legal battle for who should own and host the new master servers. Not sure how it turned out.
But anyways, the game is a sci-fi first-person shooter. Anyone can basically start a server and can pick a mission type like Capture the Flag or Seek and Destroy. Some people have even created custom servers like paintball, building servers, and etc. It was a lot of fun. There were mods online that let you customize your player's skin and what not.
Here's a screen shot I found:
