I was looking for a game and found one!!! - Combat Arms - check it out if you like FPS's. Pretty shallow but what can you epect from a free game. It plays smooth and good no complaints there, could be more deeper bigger maps. Looks basically like bf2. Im liking this better than Planetside so who knows what they can do with it, looks like a lot of servers are busy too. The game just started not long ago so its fresh if anyones interested google Combat Arms its free and half a gig to d/l not much. Got it from and ad off this site BTW. Ill be fragging you fools in game.

Ya I tried this too and I was impressed with it for a free game. It does look like you'll need to play it a lot to earn the points to keep yourself set up with a good weapon combo but I it's still pretty nice for a free one.
16 vs 16 player matches.
I can see why you cal this an mmo..
MAG is what is going to create the MMOFPS genre.
Currently restarting World of Warcraft
So how many people do you have to see and interact at once with to call it a MMO?
I can play Joint Operations Typhoon Rising on a 250 player server, thats more people im playing with than any so called "mmo" out there. "MMO" is just marketing buzz word that really means "online game" which existed far before the RPG nerds got a hold of the idea of playing games online. They've been so slow to evolve they're still charging monthly fees for this crazy new thing called "online games" WOW amazing!!

Mmo means Massive multiplayer online, 16 vs 16 is not massive as most online games have more players then that. Massive indicates a lot more then the average number of players on a normal online game.
There are no clear rules but there are "guidelines" as what most people (I think) consider an mmo;
-A lot of people one 1 server/world
-the server/world is persistent
Joint Operations could maybe be an mmo with 250 people on 1 map (depends if you consider 250 people massive) but since it does not have a persistent world it is not.
Stats tracking like Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2 does not count as a persistent world.

agreed. small arena type games like counterstrike, team fortress, and combat arms are not mmos. there is no persistent world to speak of, and 32 people is not massive.
500 people per server is the sites standards.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

It may not seem like there are a lot of people, but still, each server in that game holds 100 rooms, each room can hold 16 people, 6 servers, so that means a hell lot of people playing at the same time, just like you can't see other people on other maps or worlds in other games, just cause you see them doesn't mean they aren't there, so it actually is a MMO, though it may not seem like it. Besides, 250 people on a map like Junk Flea, you wouldn't be able to move without getting shot, in fact you can barely not be killed with 16 people on it.
Also, less people in a space meens less conpetition, and more of a chance that you'll do good

that doesnt mean anything. sure they may be playing at the same time, but it is NOT A PERSISTENT WORLD and those players will NEVER SEE EACHOTHER. therefore, it is not an mmo.
less competition does NOT mean its a mmorpg.
a higher chance does NOT make it a mmorpg.
plus, it is an awful game. you can play all day and only earn enough money to rent a gun for one day. then you go back to the default items. its not cool at all.
the only saving grace, that allowed the game to stay on my harddrive a couple minutes longer, was the ability to pick up other peoples weapons, that was pretty cool.
