Ok, for the record CS, HL, Quake etc do NOT count as MMOFPSRPG because there is not a rpg portion to it.

Gunz does because there is an experience system that allows you to buy new weapons and clothes etc etc to get an advantage.

The checklist to see if it is a FPSRPG
1.Experience/ Rank system
2.Crappy Cash Shop
3.Higher levels/ranks have an advantage over lower levels
4.Usually free

Ok, the flame barrier is down. Flame away

i dont think small room base games count as mmo . . . .
its not massive enuf . . . though there are alot of players in the server , but u only get to play with only a few of them
so gunz eg i wouldnt say its a mmofps

the only one that exist as mmofps is Fantasy Earth Zero , 50 player vs 50 player national war !!! (if there is some others with this kind of massive battles , please post , i want to try it . . .
once in the past they even change limit to 100 players vs 100 players

my checklist for mmofps:
1.MASSIVE player vs player combat
2.RPG style records/lvl/item/eq
3.More focus on PvP
4.Fps controls
done ^_^

it's just a FPS with RPG elements that doesn't mean it's a MMOFPS/RPG....

Massively
Multiplayer
Online
First
Person
Shooter.

That's all there is to it.

It has to have all of those things to be consider and mmofps.

Most people trip on the massive part.
Massive usuals means the possibility to have thousands of players in a single persistent world.

Thus meaning, nothing room based, even if the lobby is 3D like guild wars or PSO.

Worthless arguments, people will and shall classify it as they please. Nobody gives a shit about what massive means, except you people who, err, talk about the game on the forums more than they play it. It's more important to just know what a game's name is, so you can say the game's title rather than the classification, and if nobody knows the title it will probably die anyways, so don't bother classifying it.

If it's like gunz, it's called an MMOFPS/RPG. If it's like FoM, or Planetside, then it's an MMOFPS/RPG.

Gunz is not an MMOFPS/RPG because it's room based, which can be considered servers, which would be extremely similar to Master Sword: Continued's central server system.

BF2142 has 30vs 30 in itits not 50 but good maps and weapons to choose from, game isnt free but playing is. i think its only 19.99 usd


Btw: on a different note, Tabula Rasa is the only game i have ever played that gave me that actual fps/rpg feeling.

Those what are room based are just OFPS- online first person shooter

Il give you some MMOFPS:Huxley, twilight war, face of mankind, The agency, Phylon, WW 2 online, Lost colony, Neocron 2- these Are MMOFPS(not room based)

gunz isn't a mmofps because it a third person shooter... you don't need to have a "crappy cash shop" in order to have a mmofps. most mmofps' are room based. a mmofps or mmorpg doesn't need thousands of players to be a mmorpg, a mmog with 30 people is still considered a mmog.

a mmofps is a mmofps if it is masively multiplayer and a first person view; there are no other requirements... retards...
