Put me down for the original Unreal Tournament (1999, GOTY). There's even a community of people who still play UT99 capture-the-flag competitively and greedily, spontaneously forming teams for 5-on-5 clan match style matches. (If anyone's interested in the PUG (pickup games) matches scene, PM me and I can hook you up.)

Is that only for CTF, or does it also include domination and assault?

The PUG matches are only for CTF. Sadly, Domination is no longer played anywhere thought it might be possible to find Assault games on a couple public servers.

I don't know how people can play this game. I can't even get past the first level because I'm somehow supposed to get past a sentry gun that kills me in maybe 3 seconds, and I don't have a gun to disable it because you start the game without the ability to even use weapons!

Yea, see, that's the beauty of this game.

You can hack the security system to shutdown the turret. (as Navy)
or You can use the grenade launcher to blow the damn thing up(as Marine)
As the OSA op, you might be a bit pressed for options, but you can always choose the hacking skill with the cybermodules and hack the thing!

Starcraft is one game that I always keep coming back to.

Other then that for PC the only game that I truly just kept coming back to again and again was Everquest. I realize it's an MMORPG but I spent 8 years playing the game and no other game (MMORPG or otherwise) has ever caught my interest like that other then SC.

For consoles pretty much FF7, 9, and 10. Also I played through Mass Effect like 6 times in the first year I owned it so without a doubt that game will be another I will play over and over again as time goes by.
