Company of heroes online is free so try that out.  World of tanks is also a good choice (also free).  Don't listen to the people that tell you WoT is bad (trust me they just suck at it).

I was good at WoT - it was just boring.
CoH rocks though :)

The battlefront games are fun - but I keep getting my butt kicked by them.

Hearts of Iron 3 or Hearts of Iron 2 A&DD are ones to try.

From what I've heard HoI 3 sucks, HoI 2 + Arsenal of Democracy seems to be the favorite of the series around the slums I frequent.

I had tons of fun with Hearts Of Iron - don't remember if 2 or 3.

Also lots of fun with Uncommon Valor. It's the Coral Sea era defending the general area of Port Moresby, the Solomons, and Australia from Japan. It's not a shooter, but a theater scale strategic wargame that models down to individual ships and planes.

After readying Myth's AAR, I would recommend HOI3 to anyone. I've been wanting to try Arsenal of Democracy for a while though.
