I tried it didnt like it it felt like a lego game being arma2 so many controls it felt more like one of those simulator plane games
Well yeah, like my sig says I've only dabbled in the trial of FE. All I know is it felt like there were strong non-skill factors (like gear and advancement) affecting my ability to perform well in combat. And I got the impression that a char under a week old won't be able to accomplish anything a 6+ month character would. Which is completely fine ( I like RPGs too) but that's why it's a MMORPG rather than a MMOFPS.

Planetside 2 on the way dude, MMOFPS that modern shall be given to us! Dice is taking the Battliefield series after BF3 to a MMOFPS.
Link, or Lies. . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
So ya a mmo company needs to see this thread and get to work on it
K Thx Bai.
Darkfall is a great MMOFPS/TPS with the most sandboxy, open, free-form game-play environment on the market today. I dont like tight restriction on First-Person View, as opposed to Third-Person view, but it works great in Darkfall.
Also, the most dynamic, open-environment, free-form combative game-play in a persistent world coming down the pipe is also All Points Bulletin.
month old self reply bump? Why not repost?...
Publishers don't see the money in it, that's why. Maybe Black Prophecy. See ya for next months self-bump.
M59, UO, EQ1, WWIIOL, PS, EnB, SL, SWG. MoM, EQ2, AO, SB, CoH, LOTRO, WoW, DDO+ f2p's, Demos & indie alpha's.
And thats y publishers will keep failing at all these mmos they spend millions on cause they cant think out side the box.Lewl at your " elves vs orcs " . See ya next month
I'd love for some game company to create a well made MMORPG/FPS that had the same kind of character development we see in Mount and Blade and use M&B's combat mechanics. That would just make my day.
Elves vs. orcs? *ponders* you mean Black Prophecy? No, it's a space PvP, looks a bit like Eve but unrelated as it seems mainly PvP... and very instanced though. Did you try Planetside and World War II Online? Both worth some time, though PS is dead and no idea the state of WWIIOL, but was less now when I last played. Then another... can't think of the name now... fantasy type but got shut down.
They just barely stay afloat. I dig them, especially PS for a couple years, but the failure has been 100% so realistically I just don’t see a publisher picking one up anytime soon, not when there is money to be had making the WoW buster which costs about the same to make... and loose. Look to indie for this sub genre, like the one I mentioned, or another if there is. Publishers don't want new ideas, they spit at the box, just want to chase car tires and squirt at fire hydrants with the same worn out hype. *shrugs*

I believe Dust514 will be a mmofps but for the console as well as Undead Labs zombie mmo. We won't see these for awhile though.
I wasent calling Black porphecy ors vs elves but yes i have tried planetside i played from beta intill last year cus i got tired of all the hackers. Thats the reason y i said we need somethen new like mmofps with 3 factions or maybe more, for instance the 300+ NC trying to take the base from TR while the VS trying to take the base aswell with no npcs in the game any1 u kill is a living breathing person like you. Thats the epicness a mmofps should be like with no instaceing. Im just burnt out on this magical warrior pvp and raids with all these lame mmo's.
Sry for grammer... i dont use it when im intoxicated.
Yes and no. I think we need both RPGs and FPS games in the MMO genre.
But APB is a MMOFPS game so there are some upcoming.
The really big difference between them is that your own skill decide who wins in a FPS (and a action game like Diablo) while your characters skills are the important thing in a RPG. RPG also have a story and npcs while FPS and action games have something like "it is WW2 and the Germans occupied France" or "Your team was sent down to an outpost that stopped answering and there are aliens there" and vendors have no personality, or often even logic to be there.
The main difference between action games and FPS is the fact that FPS is first person while action games have a perspective like Diablo and Dungeon siege.
I see a market for MMOFPs, MMOAGs (action games) and MMORPGs. The more MMOs differs from eachother the better, it is easier to find one that is right for you or me then, we like different things and sometimes it is nice to play something different from what you usually plays.
Yeah, many of us wish for a MMO version of M & B. Paradox should work together with someone competent to make it, they don't have the expertise or the money themselves for a MMO.
Alright, before you go claiming other people don't know shit about something, do you actually have any clue what you are talking about? For instance, the M-4's rate of fire is 700-950 rounds per minute, cyclicly. Now, this does come up to around your 15 rounds per second estimate, on the high end, however cyclic rates of fire are only how fast the weapon itself can mechanically handle ammunition (thus how quickly it cycles) and does not take into account any tasks the shooter must take such as aiming, reloading, etc. Again, using the M-4 as an example, the maximum effective rate of fire in semi-automatic is around 45 rounds per minute and 90 rounds per minute on burst/auto. This means that in combat to attain effectivness the M-4 is fired between .75 and 1.5 times a second, much less than 15 now, isn't it?
WWIIOL has 3 factions... but it's 2 vs. 1. If you liked simulators you would like it, but may be too slow for fast action players. But I don't know, may be dead...
I usually have one mmofps going along with two regular mmorpg subscriptions or more. But with them dead, only mmorpg's now... though I mostly PvP in those at this point, but it's not as good as a pure pvp mmo. Silly publishers, it's a fun genre when not abused, but I bet something will come along soon enough.

I want to play a good MMOFPS too... one with large PvP battles, and good character progressions, along with large open worlds, instead of all these instanced games. As far as I know, nothing like this exists yet.
GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
I tried it before but im going to download it agian to see how it is, the last time i played it it was so slow and i never really saw any 1 in it but eh dont hurt to try agian. The videos on youtube make it look fun but people that told me about it its like Americas Army within a mmofps with a lot of waiting better then nothin tho :-/
They changed that with the Battleground Europe update. So players are TP'ed into the conflict. Used to be conflicts could break out anyplace, and often small skurmishes if you were lucky to not pull a quiet guard duty. Now the players direct the stratgy and TP's open for the conflict.
