Does anyone here know some FREE Game Development Software, wether it is for 3D Games, Platformer, RPG or Action Games. Please do not post Text-Based GDS.

Visual C++ 6.0, or Visual Studio 2005.

I wonder if that's what he meant by text-based GDS

I had a program called Game Maker at one point. I made Pong with it, then got tired of it because I didn't want to register which would have given me some better features. Website: http://www.gamemaker.nl

game maker is in my opinion a sucky program for making games. If you want to keep up to date, learn c++ and get a compiler. Shmeeps named 2 but they aren't free I believe. I own Visual Studio 2003 and Visual C++ 6.0

Yea, gamemaker's engine isn't powerful enough to do a lot of things without a buttload of extra plugins.
If you want a free GDS that's good, you're probably out of luck, especially since most things like that are limited in what they can do.
My advice is to learn a programming language.
I think Visual Studio 2005 is still in beta, so it's free-ish. You can download it, but it's a bit buggy.

FPS Creator is rather limited, but it does have multiplayer support and comes at the cheap cost of only $50.
http://www.fpscreator.com/
3D Game Studio is rather powerful, and comes in a variety of prices and versions. It has alot of free plugins that enhance its abilities.
http://www.3dgamestudio.com/
Neither one is free, but they're relatively cheap.

You can ask him for the sprites.

Good places to get SC Sprites:
www.infoceptor.net
tc.brutkrieg.de
www.campaigncreations.org
www.samods.org
And of course, extracting them from the StarDat and BroodDat MPQs. The sprites are in GRP format, which can be converted to BMPs through RetroGRP.

How about trying to program the Unreal Engine 2? you just need to learn UnrealScript(which i know a bit of) and have pleny of time to write the way each object works (UnrealEd is for the level and object designing. Another opitonn is to mod the hell out of UT2K4 (but thats not free)
