what are some good source mods?

[minmaster]

ok so i'm relatively a noob to source games, and i see that steam is serving source mods and i am downloading age of chivarly (which looks just bad-ass) right now, but what are some good mods that have a decent size online following, meaning i will be able to find decent number of populated servers online?

ok, i played age of chivalry for a while and this game really rocks. i'm so happy i found this game, it's such a fresh alternative to shoot em up fps games. my only gripe is it doesn't have 1920x1200 resolution, is it possible at all?

Insurgency is an excellent Source mod, if you are into a fairly tactical, somewhat realistic shooter.

yeah i checked out the page for that, the screenshots i saw looks very similar to some of the maps from CoD4 with worse graphics so i wasn't sure. another one on steam that caught my eye was a vehicle game called DIPRIPS or something like that, looked pretty badass. also, the zombie panic mod seems okay, but after hours of playng L4D, i'm not sure if i want to dive into another zombie game. one thing i saw was it supports more players than L4D, and that interested me a bit. lastly, i was interested in battle grounds 2 which is an american revolution game, but was afraid i would have trouble finding servers to play on.

it would be nice to know how many servers are running these mods at a given time and how populated they are, in order to gauge whether it's worth downloading it and all. is there an easy way to do this?
