Why hasn't one been made yet? Simply because of the technical requirements. Blizzard is having a hard enough time handling all the WoW players. Just imagine everyone running, shooting, and watching their 60 FPS screens and making quick, sudden actions. Bandwidth, processing power, and memory all need to increase exponentially for an MMOFPS to exist.

Tribes 2 came close to combining FPS with (at the time at least) large player amounts. 100 Player servers were common.

The game was quite hard to get into though and loads of players struggled to find a role which was useful and fun to play. Cracking game though.

I'm still waiting for some kind of realistic war game with those kinds of player numbers and cooperative mission based play. Imagine a beach landing with both sides controled by players. It would suck for those that got killed as soon as the boats open but if you could survive all the way to the bunkers and beyond it would be so cool.

has to be mmorpg \0/

Eve-Online 4tw! lol

the good thing about eve that puts it above fps is that its constantly in development, with patchdays and bugfixes and new features constantly being brought in, and theres a million things you can do on eve rather than go round shooting ppl over and over again or following the storyline etc (i.e agent missions, mining, refining, bulding, selling, travelling, pvp combat, fleet battles, NPC rat hunting, DED Space complexes etc.

Any other eve players here??

MMO's - PvP enough said.

Thought > twitch.

The only game that involves 'thought' is GuildWars, because it takes some skill to play. Twitch based skill is great, but MMOs don't provide 'thought' based skill in a game. WoW is mind numbingly boring with that regard. Monsters are stupid, just attack and run away when low on hps, PvP is even worse because it takes ZERO skill to participate in... just a little common sense and making sure you are the right class vs the right class. Ultima Online (OLDSCHOOL version) was probably the best in incorporating skill into gameplay, too bad it got nerfed to hell.

Anyways, it's what you make of it.. I like FPSes a lot, and I like MMOs too. Just have fun playing and don't get caught up in the hype :)

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
