The MMO world needs more FPS

I think there is a great, great need for a MMOFPS. I used to play the game "Planetside" 2 years ago. I was Battle Rank 20 and Command Rank 4. I really loved the game, it was the only real MMOFPS that I enjoyed, you could be the lowest level and still be a threat to the highest level. The game really relied on skills and TACTICS with your outfit.



Now, an MMOFPS does not need to be like planetside. Even introducing something with a gamestyle like counter-strike on massive world server would be great, it dosen't need skills, levels, currency, or anything just a game built like counter-strike but on a massive world server. I think the idea would be great, and im suprised no company has taken up on it. MMOFPS can attract both crowds, FPS and RPG fans which are truely ripped apart from each other.



I know im rambling but I hope you get the idea of the this post, there is a great need for MMOFPS.

    No thanks. The gaming industry is already flooded with mediocre FPS, I dont want it bleeding into MMO's.

    You pretty much got owned there Spathotan. I'm sorry, but I've seen more mediocre MMORPGs in the last year, than I have MMOFPS.

    Huxley and Tabula Rasa look like your best bet. Huxley is going to be mindless, Tabula Rasa the intelligent shooter. Whichever is your bag of tricks, take your pick.

    Actually, I would just prefer an MMORPG done RIGHT.  No one has learned from history it seems.  These developers are making some of the same mistakes companies did years ago....

      Agreed, 2006 royally sucked for PC games. But I've always been a Planetside fan, so an MMOFPS reaaaally catches my attention right now. As long as they don't overdue the game and make the playing choppy/twitchy/laggy. Have to wait and see of course, but Huxley is looking pretty good right now.

    While I wouldn't mind seeing a few more FPS MMOs, I hate people that suggest that making an MMO FPS is the only way for "skillz" or "strategery" to come into play. Most of these people are the same people who just play counterstrike 24/7. Unfortunately, developers are afraid to try anything new when they can just copy WoW or some other successful MMO and make easy money.

    Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

    I'd like to see some one do an mmorpgfps, combine the two. Both genres are getting a bit stale. I think a hybrid could revitalise the mmo market.

    the mmofps is a hole that has not been filled yet, with planetside still holding a large sum of players (like myself) it shows that there are people willing to play them, if a company do it right, then it will be a great success, at the moment this is lying on huxley and tabula rasas shoulders, as long as companys see this hole and want to fill it, then we will get a great MMOFPS
