What are the other fps games with thriving mod communities?

not half-life, that shit is huge, I was thinking about Halo CE and quake, and they really dont get alot of attention campaired to doom, are there any other FPS game communitys that are non- valve that a doing well or even have editors and such?

Quake does have a thriving community, just not as big as Doom's, since it's not as easy to work with.

As of other FPS that isn't Half-Life, Fallout: New Vegas comes to mind, and The Elder Scrolls, if you count them as "shooters". TF2 also had it's share of modding, but i haven't played it in years.

Thief. There's people cranking out a new fan mission every couple of days.

TF2 is a product of Valve. So no, that wont count here.

Also, there is Halo Waypoint.

wow halo 5's forge has massivly expanded, I might have to try that out again, are you on xbox voros? if os add me,GT= Rot Out

Quake 3 has a dedicated mod community with great modders like Simon O'Callihan (SOC).

The Quake 3 DarkPlaces engine is really taken hold on the mod community as of late, Just try out RetroBlazer and Xonitic.

There is also the Cube 2 engine which was utilized for making Red Eclipse.

Ya and some great quality maps too. Too bad the editor isn't that beginner friendly.

Speaking of Halo CE, here is an apparent large part of its community.

Yeah I have two Halo CE discs, both not in their original covers. Why, I don't know.

Darkplaces is a Quake 1 engine. Not Quake 3.

Other than that. You can check out communities for games in development like Reflex.

Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast have JKHUB, yes they aren't completely FPS games but they have enough optional shooting parts.

Duke Nukem 3d has a community. It's not like Doom's but there's allot of maps. I have legitimate fun building city maps with Mapster but lose interest before completion.

Thank you so much for correcting me. I swear I thought it was a Quake 3 enhanced engine due to how Xonotic feels and how it resembles Q3 more. I looked at the wiki page and you are totally correct. Is there any modified Q3 engines out there?

Half-Life has a thriving mod community? When did this happen?

UT2004 is still alive and kicking. Pretty much all the Unreal games to some degree.
