[QUOTE="Kingdrake, post: 105429, member: 2608"] I used to think the same as you, but I realized I was wrong one day. I read about MMOFPS somewhere (probably Game Informer, I don't remember), and it turns out the games such as Combat Arms (meaning round based games) are [I]not [/I]MMO's. What makes an MMO an MMO is a persistent world, the opposite of round based. Check out this Wiki article that is exactly right. [I]"MMOFPS is an online gaming genre which features a persistent world and a large number of simultaneous players in a first-person shooter fashion.[12][13] These games provide large-scale, sometimes team-based combat. The addition of persistence in the game world means that these games add elements typically found in RPGs, such as experience points.[citation needed] However, MMOFPS games emphasize player skill more than player statistics, as no number of in-game bonuses will compensate for a player's inability to aim and think tactically.[14][/I] [U] Wiki List of MMOFPS Games[/U] 10SIX (now known as Project Visitor) World War II Online Neocron PlanetSide [U]Upcoming [/U] Global Agenda MAG: Massive Action Game Huxley I believe games such as Combat Arms are referred to as Online FPS or Online Shooters. The genre of MMOFPS is different. [/QUOTE]
