Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament by Epic Games is not the 1999, old-school version by the way - it is a brand-new, work-in-progress version that can support up to 4k resolution. This newer version of Unreal Tournament also added several new dodge styles to the frantic jumping and sprinting gameplay that all Unreal games are famous for. However, despite its brilliant new graphics and gameplay tweaks, the game retains the core of what made Unreal Tournament incredibly popular back in the day - all its intense fragging, maze-like maps, power-ups and most importantly, a community of friendly yet competitive players to play the game with.Although Unreal Tournament has been under development for quite some time now (since 2014), it's interesting to note that Epic Games lets players enjoy the game as it is being developed and they really take fans' feedback and suggestions into consideration. So, despite technically being an unfinished game, Unreal Tournament is already operational... meaning you can now play it... and best yet, it's free-to-play.
So, if you longed for a modernized and improved version of Unreal Tournament, this is the game to play.
