Question: The article on MMORPGs is at that page... shouldn't this article therefore be at MMOFPS instead of here? - Estel (talk) 16:57, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
Answer:I believe that the MMORPG article had the title because that was what they were most widely known as. MMOFPS is not an as widely used term. Greeves 01:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NEOCON IS MMOFPS ??
neocron is not justa rpg game with a fps view, like project entropia??
Should GunZ even be on this list? It's a third-person game not a first-person game and the article is about MMOFPSes. - DNewhall
Wth, there are a million different MM*** articles. Someone should do some serious merging.
Well the MMOFPS's I play nobody RP's in them.
Huxley and PlanetSide are MMOFPS, Face of Mankind and Neocron are MMORPG, so 4 of the 7 mentioned games are not even in this category(the other 3 I have not heard about, so I can't comment about them) and I hear about the term XORG for the first time. Also the company that "inventioned" the term, has no site or anything, if you google it's name it gives you only 1 result - this article, so the whole XORG "article" is more of a joke, than anything. It must not be merged, but DELETED.
Neocron is a nightmare. It's extremely picky about the system it's running on and the tech support is useless. It took me over 2 months to unsubscribe (during which they charged me). Don't go here.
Planetside is the only true SF MMOFPS I've found. Huxley looks OK, but the devs have already made a fatal mistake: "....and of course if players don't wish to engage in PvP battles, there is always a plentiful amount of NPC's to help their character level up..." That just SCREAMS MMORPG to me...
a new, MMOFPS is under developement... Versus: Conflict Defines Existence... www.versusthegame.com alpha version for q4 2006, retail q4 2007
WTF is this company trying to subvert MMOFPS.. Everyone knows what MMOFPS means this failed startup is trying to pirate the term and twist it to their own meanings. Why is this article meant to be merged with spam from some gay ass company?
The article on XORG should be deleted. Most of the playerbase in WWIIONLINE would (and probably planetside) would object violently to being catogorized into "Extreme" online roleplaying games. It's a marketing gimic not a genre. Perhaps a page on "Virtual Battlefields" could be added to replace it.
Uh wait, we want to invent a new term "virtual battlefield" (which really is a term used to mean something very different by the military) in an attempt to combat someone inventing another term "XORG"?
Fine, I was just thinking outloud. Created a page on virtural battlefields anyway. HAS xorg been deleted yet? Nhorning 11:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Now I think Huxley should be removed, the fps part of the game, the battles, will peak at 200 players(100 on each side). It's like some people are saying. companies try to brand there games MMOFPS, then way down on their page, if your lucky, it will say max 8 players. If you cant at least reach planetside's player numbers(per continent), then dont bother mentioning it.MMirkovic 12:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Battlefield series.
Battefield 1942, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield 2142 are all NOT MMOFPS. These games allow no more 60 people in the largest types of servers with the mode average being about 16 people per server. 216.165.16.184 17:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Exteel
I'll try to put my comment here instead, since it apparently was wrong to put it the main article. This game only support 16 players in FPS, and should not be in this article. A suggestion would be to put max number of players on each game, with max numbers of players I mean the actual FPS part of a game, not people logged in some kind of lobby.

[edit] Gunz
I'm pretty sure Gunz falls into this category. anyone else agree?
Uhh... if it has a twitch factor (reticule to aim) with persitant environments and character development than yes.
[edit] MMOFPS Criteria
The following are components beleived to create an MMOFPS game. Any component is open for rebuttal:
- The game must have a twitch factor: A reticule to aim is prefferable. Clicking on the character to commence in turn based attacks shouldn't count. Controlling the burst of your weapon should be a must.
- The game should have a persistant environment: Large amounts of characters should be on the same servers, log into the same environment, with the same community. If a story line is involved, ALL characters share the storyline.
- Persistant character devlopment: You should be able to log into the same character that you logged into the day before and have existing stats (represented in any form) that you have earned.
