Class based and limited loadout based shooters bore me to no end. Add in crippled mobility and we're done.
I've been playing through the Id catalogue again. Or replaying Deus Ex for the 50th time.
Playing Quake with Darkplaces is pretty fun.
However, if you want a blast playing online I'dd suggest checking out TREMULOUS.
It's an uber generic looking, but criminally underrated FOSS game.
It's gameplay is loosely based on Gloom for Q2, featuring a unique blend of RTS base building and FPS action, with two completely assymetric factions.
The learning curve is pretty steep, but I'dd place this in my top 3 of favourite multiplayer games of all time.

There's also WARSOW, if you like Quakeworld trickjumping on crack. I'dd rather play Quake 3 to be honest, but if you're looking for a shooter with freedom of movement, this is it.
XONOTIC the open source fork of NEXUIZ plays in a similair vain. It's a bit like a blend between Q3 and UT, but with a different feel than either.
RED ECLIPSE is based on Sauerbraten, it's a bit floaty and butterfaced for my liking, not unlike Sauerbraten.
URBAN TERROR is a counterterrorist shooter, like CS, but with plenty emphasis on freedom of movement. I'm not usually into semi tactical stuff, but this is okay.
The Tribes games are free, Quake Live is a polished Q3, The Serious Sam HD versions are pretty good. Though I've grown a bit tired of Serious Sam personally.
