Blacklight Retribution - The best multiplayer FPS, and free to play?

D/L'd this last night just to see how my comp would handle it after the rebuild... I have to say this is the first FPS that has caught my attention since Unreal GOTY... Save to say, I'm horrible at FPS's, but if you guys are playing, I'm in.
 
I stopped playing for a while and most of my stuff expired. Can't get the motivation to earn back my stuff with defaults.
 
I gave up on F2P shooters but I'm taking the words of AltTabMe for it and trying this, waiting for GW2 is agonizing.
