Today, all major games are huge pieces of work with millions of dollars of art work in them, and creating one that looks like them is impossible to do, if you are on your own. Modding offers lots of fun though, and as someone who is interested in AI in first person shooters, I am looking for the perfect fps for testing my ideas in game AI. I do not have a killer gaming machine, so I need a game that can run on moderately old hardware (Dell XPS m1530 laptop), and having access to free tools for development would be good. Which FPS games out there are suitable for modification, so that I can try experiment on various AI aspects of gaming?"
