This free, US army developed, game recently released its 2.5 revision entitled Special Forces. It's an objective oriented fps and IMHO is actually a bit like CS mixed with more 'real-life' combat simulations like Ghost Recon or Operation Flashpoint. Once you get past the training stages required for online play, and disregard the fact that it was developed as a recruiting tool, gameplay is medium to great depending on the server. Some of the general smacktardery is still there, but the game engine prevents certain things like bunny-hopping. Your account also records a thing called 'honor' which is gained by positive k/d, objective completion, leadership or team victories. This also helps gameplay as more points are earned from working as a team than racking up kills.
I think it's definitely worth the bandwidth downloading this free game. Tactical Gamer have a small following and there are other decent EU servers aswell. For more info and free download visit http://www.americasarmy.com/ (http://www.americasarmy.com/).
Did I mention it's free. :)
Does it come with the torture and white phosphorus add-ons?

No, but they have some serious flashbangs!
Although, many players would actually consider the special forces E&E training to be in violation of the Geneva convention... Virtual torture, indeed, and a rumour has it that in the next version, sniper qualification will consist of an actual 48h mission where the target appears at a random time! :blink:
No toilet breaks.
