So i've asked before, but i was wondering if anyone could enlighten me....what games do people still play online that are somewhat old? I was thinking of installing say Call of Duty and it's UO expansion pack along with possibly Warcrafft 3, BF 1942, and then maybe some Half-Life/CS 1.6/ or DoD/ (and their various mods) Do you all think it's worth it and if so, are any of these games still popular on the online arena?
PC

The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
so what old games do you still play
Lol noone read he said online games...
Call of Duty 1 probably has very few players now...
Warcraft 3 probably has a big community, but it's only worth trying if you're already really good (I tried it before and between cheaters and being unskilled it was not fun)
BF1942 probably doesn't have very many players anymore.
I wish more people had played Half Life 1 DM, even when it was brand new hardly anyone played it, and it was GREAT.
Tons of people still play the original CS.
I still play Warcraft 3 , Starcraft, and once the ladder resets Diablo 2. Yeah I like Blizzard stuff. Also, a lil UT2k4.
"I know that Warcraft III and Counter Strike are pretty well played still.I for one have been on a huge Diablo 2 run for the past 3 months or so. I guess I just want to kill my mouse. But the community is still alive and well for that game."

However, games on my list are Jedi Knight 2: Outcast, some Counterstrike: Source, and a fancy lost-potential mod called Sourceforts. Oh and EVE too, but I'd rather just leave that one in its own category...
The Thief series its awesome feel like your invisible as long as you do not alert any guards or try to kill one but then they call for back up and get like 3 or 5 guards chasing after you.
Lol @ how many people reply to the title without reading the actual topic x)
I think Battlefield 2 still has a healthy community going, and some great mods, while the 1.5 patch should boost it a little, it's in public beta now.
Half-Life is also a good bet for modifications. While their popularity has obviously decreased you can probably always find a good match for the likes of Natural Selection and other such awesome projects.

oh man, lets see. Sim city, X-com, Ultima, Quest for glory,warcraft 3, Baldurs gate, Uncharted waters 2...etc
" Lol apparently oblivion and cod2 are "old" Jagged Alliance :D and probably the oldest game here Nethack ;D "I feel the same way. These young whippersnappers and their lack of understand of what old is.
I often like to go and play my old adventure games, including the now ancient Space Quest, released back when I was but a boy.
As far as Online games i'm prettysure Battlefield 2 still has a decent community of players...it's still installed on my computer if that counts as "currently playing"
But as far as old games i just really like to play, i play the PC versions of the Worms games.
As far as old games that i bought and never started, and/or finished,...i don't wanna get into it.
Resident Evil 2 + 3 (despite how long it took me to get graphics support set up correctly), was pretty friggen awesome to play on PC after I haven't even seen either games for a good 5-10 years now. Talk about nostalgia :D
