F2P vs B2P MMOFPS?

[Vinzix]

My personal prefference goes to B2P shooters like Call Of Duty, Medal Of Honor, Battlefield, Counter Strike,...
Why? First off all, most of these have dedicated servers, which means, no host-lagging, finding a game faster and so on. Second, instant healing. Lot of the F2P-shooters don't have instant heal, I really don't like this. Most of them have a 100% healing, maybe plus 50 body-protection and that's it, when you get damage, you have to deal with that much loss the entire game. Third, B2W. If you have the cash to waiste, you have an advantage most of the time over non-buying players. Better weapon-penitration, better armor & what not. Fourth and final, hacker-fest. In games like Combat Arms there are 80% hackers in the game. They ruin it for most of the players who like to play for skill.
This doesn't mean I have a hate on F2P-models, but they have a few disadvantages I don't like about them.
Now your turn.

Definitely B2P. My fave so far is TF2. I don't think anything beats it. For MMOFPS, b2p is the way to go.

Your HP in games like CS doesn't regenerate, either... I'm personally not too fond of that HP regeneration system, personally; the difference between 30 and 100HP is kinda next to nothing when you're aiming for heads most of the time anyways.

On Bad Company 2 I play HC because the HP regeneration thing just gets on my nerves sometimes... I almost kill a guy, he ducks behind cover, I lop a nade over to him, but he regenerates enough to survive the blast and kills me while I'm putting another nade into the launcher... what's up with that ):

If you just take the same class then you can revenge-kill him, aye. xD

Nah, I'd rather just sit on a cliff and mortar him out of his hut for my little revenge.

B2P > F2P FPS

I don't think I need to go over the reasons, I'm sure they're fairly obvious.

I play BC2 all the time, I'm LOVING the new heavy metal map (Also like Harvest Day). Can't wait until Vietnam comes out on the 18th, I've been itching since they've announced it.

The fact that it's B2P means the company have confidence in quality that they invested their time in. Just my opinion, thus B2P usually have greater features, etc. F2P FPS personally just suck and are not worth the time.

(With the exception of Gunz in its early days, and S4 but they're TPS...)

I seldom play free FPS, (Battlefield/L4D ftw?) Although I did enjoy a bit of time on AVA.

F2P Is the best not good ,but best...And I will tell you why... not because they are F2P Games ,but because they Are regulary being updated or relesing new clients...Not like BF 10GB of patches till you can play what you want...Or games like wow or other with gazilion updats with 1server in everyupdate and if you want to go to another you got to start all over again...

[tachiboi]

Their update are irrelevant compared to the content available on a B2P.

Also, there's fewer cheaters on B2P. .People will easily pick up cheats and use them on F2P because it costs them nothing, if they get caught, they don't care. . They just make a new account and continue. B2P however will cost them money each time they're banned to continue playing. .also B2P typically have better communities.

To be honest, the whole B2P vs. F2P FPS debate thing, or whatever you want to call it, really just comes down to preference. F2P FPSs rarely have the same gameplay and feeling as B2P FPSs, and sometimes I just feel like playing A.V.A. instead of Call Of Duty 4, or Genesis A.D. instead of Crysis.

NONE!
Free2play = kids and hackers
Buy2Play = no account system its just plain multiplayer no other mmorpg aspects, which also allows hacker to still hack because even if you get banned from a single server you change IP and nick and good to go (only dunno if servers can ban CD keys...)

Untrue. All B2P games that go through systems such as Steam or GameSpy all have accounts and make banning extremely easy for server admins. It's inaccurate to say that all B2P games have easy-to-get-around bans.

Yea content like ******ed pros who plays 23/7 and that way the whole year...And now you saying the the new BF Play 4 Free is like all other crap around right?
