The Borderlands series (3 games so far) is the most fun i have had in an FPS ever. It has the progression you are after with different skill trees, multiple weapons etc. It probably doesn't have the multi-player you are after, it is more single player and co-op. Great games and loads of fun, and unlike most FPS it is not completed in under 4 hours. Borderland 1 and 2 will easily clock in at around 40+ hours of play time.
Yea know, I played Borderlands back when it released. No idea what happened to the install. Its not on my Steam list. Hrm. I recall that it was actually a fun game.
The three games are Borderlands 1, 2, and the pre-sequel? I think I might go that route.

Originally posted by Panther2103 CS:GO is probably the most popular on the PC in terms of population at a time playing the game. It usually peaks around 170k people online at once. Next is probably BF4 with around 40k people a day online concurrently and then COD AW. I probably wouldn't reccoment a COD pc game simply because they spread matchmaking really thin and it becomes hard to find matches a lot of the time depending on where you are located. I just got BF4 for the pc and am really enjoying it.
If you can get BF4 to run without chrashing its a good game. But you never know before you start it up, because its a bugged piece of shit they cant seem to fix.
The MMO market is getting stale to me. Been out of the FPS scene for about ten years. I did CS 1.6 back in the day. I dabbled with BF3 a couple years ago. I haven't really heard good things about BF4 and I really don't care for EA. TF2 is meh to me; to cartoony I think. I guess Titanfall was popular a few months ago; how'bout now? Something with progression is always nice.
Suggestions?
If you want progression AND popular AND multiplayer, EA is your company. You're looking at the battlefield / Call of Duty series.
If you want good / less popular FPS games, check out Evolve or Natural Selection 2.
If you're looking for more single-player FPS games, check out any of the Bioshock games, Dishonored, Deus Ex.
If you want a shooter that's more similar to an MMO, check out Destiny, Planetside 2, or All Points Bulletine. All 3 have progression.
What is most popular? Honestly the big one atm is CS:GO (counter-strike: global offensive). Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Team Fortress 2 are also really popular.
- Honestly, there's a lot of options when it comes to FPS. All depends on what you're expectations are, and how picky you are about your games.
I find it kinda odd noone has mentioned Half Life, Half Life 2 or Left 4 Dead, they are to this day pretty much the industry standard as far as pure FPS goes and really noone can top the series after all these years.

All 3 amazing games.
Industry standards, no. Classics, yes.
Few people still play the original HL anymore. Same goes w/ HL2 (outside of certain mods). L4D2 still gets played, but I wouldn't still call it popular. They are all great games, just a bit old.
Red Orchestra 2 is in my opinion the multiplayer shooter you can play right now. It may be hard the first few times, but once you get the hang of it, it is an experiance.
Battlefield 4 is the best shooter at the moment. Don't listen to haters. It works great and is discounted right now. There are a lot of players around.
I'm not playing anymore, but I've played more than 200 hours and I don't even like shooters.

Halo 5?
Wouldn't play anything EA FPS as they all feel the same and over charge.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

Requires a specific taste as the setting of the game is WW1 trench warfare but oh boy this is a fun game!
Edit: Not that popular but if you want to experience something a bit different give it a try.
