Best free engine for FPS Shooters?

I'll look into NeoAxis if UDK fails. Testing them at the same speed is....harder than I thought. I finally figured out how to add a weapon to UDK though...I just have to download 3ds Max 2010 to get the dang plugin.... Apparently they haven't released a plugin for 2012 yet....

Test in UDK. Bad positioning.

Most Unreal games are light shoot em ups. They aren't really for the serious minded. When I first played one I didn't notice it but now whenever I do go on it sometimes it can annoy the hell outta me.

See, Unreal Engine 3 was used to make Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, all of the Gears of War games, and though the Unreal Development Kit is a little different than UE3, the UDK has just as much functionality. Even on that, CryEngine 3 had those issues too, and I couldn't figure out how to add a weapon to save my life.

Well, UDK doesn't give you the access to UE3's source code. So you won't most likely be developing games like Mass Effect 1/2 or Gears of War.

No, but I've seen games like those made in UDK (well, only one). I can still make a level based game with good AI and difficulty. If I learn C# well enough, I can buy a dev license.
