Oh, at first I thought you meant this Gunmetal (where you can transform between a mech and a jet):

Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl is a cool little freeware title adapted from a Doom total conversion. Nice comic-book graphic style, and an unusual focus on makeshift melee weapons.
Less obscure, but I also really liked Project: Snowblind. It began life as a Deus Ex spin-off, only to lose the license during development, but the influence of that world really shows. The game is pretty much a stock "cinematic FPS", though your character gets periodic upgrades in the form of special powers, and it's also at least slightly less linear than a lot of other games of that style. Very short (to the point where I was surprised and confused that the game had just ended), but a pretty fun ride nonetheless.
No kidding.

Believe the same guy who worked on the Crusader No Regret/Remorse soundtrack worked on it.

But this way they can do "20 Years Later..." in the next game and everybody laughs because it's true.

Never played obscure shooters, except Rex Blade and Island Peril. But I played them too little to like or dislike them.

I guess No One Lives Forever isn't obscure on GOG, but it's still not exactly well known in general.
Other than that, a fairly recent one- Angels Fall First is basically indie Battlefront II. Asymetric objective-based maps with ground and space combat, and full AI support that keeps being tweaked to make player-and-bot matches more fun than they usually are when you're playing 128-player games alone.

Cybermage. Never played it, but used to drool over its promotional images in some of my gaming magazines.

Another vote for the first No One Lives Forever. I still don't know if that reloaded version is legal or not.

Black on PS2/Xbox was a fun game. Developed by Criterion from 2004-2005, it's a good-looking game for it's time. There's nothing super special about it but it was a fun shooter with a budget action-movie-level story that was basically just an excuse to walk through levels and shoot some dudes, although the game is notable for punishing attempts to go all-out Rambo, as taking cover is rather necessary at most times and health doesn't regenerate. It's a fun little buried treasure that you can probably still download on Xbox 360, I think? There was also a spiritual-successor developed called Bodycount that received much less praise than the original and the series as a whole has more or less faded into obscurity.
