Update: Shoot Your Friends For Free In New MMO Shooter

If they made the advertisements subtle and blend into the background...tattered billboards, vending machines, street signs, building logos, etc.

IMO, That would actually raise the immersion because you're supposed to be fighting in war torn cities.

Exactly. I will never forgive Pepsi for the pristine indestructible immovable vending machine. It's a video game for fucks sake. If you are going to put advertisements in it, at least make it blend.

They could even put references to modern products in fantasy & western video games, if the artists somehow aged them appropriately and made them seem like they were a part of that world. Of course it would have to be subtle as hell, and if they pulled it off, I might even buy their shitty product if it helps keep the prices of video games under control.

That being said, if logo feces replaces wall textures in Quake or something, I might just have to drive to their Corporate HQ and take a shit on their desks and see how they like it.

This looks really really good. Unfortunately I'm 99% sure it wouldn't be playable on the Mac.

Interesting. I'll keep an eye on this.

The whole free MMOFPS thing has began to frustrate me. I gave up on so many of them due to 900% of the time being utterly annihilated by someone who's A: Got an aimbot or B: Spent lots of cash on the game and therefore is near-unstoppable. Also, are they an English-speaking company? Because the horrible, horrible grammar of a few games (Operation 7, looking at you) has become annoying.

You guys must have already forgotten Combat Arms. I was in the beta test for Combat Arms and I loved it, especially since it was free... but then when it opened to the public, idiots started to join. See, the more people a game has, the more likely it will have idiots. The community went right down the drain and I got absolutely sick of it. I really hope that this one works, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm not entirely sure how this qualifies as a MMO, it just sounds like a textbook FPS.

We had AVA, Gunz, and a few others like these, all Jack of all Trades, yet Master of None.

AVA is the only game you can get by with insane amount of Cash Shop items required...wonder how this game will hold up.

Haven't tried AVA, but GunZ is hardly a good game.

Based on gameplay videos AVA seems like Counter-strike clone #2342532552352346.

seems like its doing the thing in BFBC2 now, theyre allowing low ranked players to buy all weapons and gadgets for the kits, or you can just spend time unlocking them

Sounds like it's worth a try.

Update: Shoot Your Friends For Free In New MMOFPS

An upcoming FPS from an independent developer is going to not only promising a high-quality gaming experience, but one that will be free for gamers.

Just one thing, it's not a FPS, FPS means First person shooter and this game is going to be in third person according to the website you linked.

The third-person claim wasn't on the site two days ago when the article was initially written. I'll adjust it as soon as I get back to my main computer.

I never said Gunz was a good game...infact, I berated it as master of nothing.

As for AVA, it's CS with tiny amount of RPG element (like XP collection and Money after battles to deck out new items, buy new gear, ect).

It's a fun little game, but once deleted, you won't bother installing it.

Combat Arms tried something like this. I used to play CA first month after it was released in Europe but now it's full of cheaters.
Anyways I'm looking forward to this one. I just hope they do something about managing servers and keeping cheaters away. CA failed miserably in that aspect.

 

[KrazyKain]

simple question.. REAL mmofps? or just another combat arms?

 

[Carlston]

promising, still a bold step to make a mmofps without it being exploited

Not true. Many of these games are now their projects for school programing classes and resume fillers.

And us players reap the rewards

As well they can make profits by putting ads in game or connect to servers...
