A list of the top 10 free to play Shooter Games including Massively Multiplayer Online First-person shooters (MMOFPS) and Third-person shooters (MMOTPS).
BLG writes, "Alongside the Wolfenstein and DOOM franchises, there are the Quake games. Known for fast-paced and insane multiplayer deathmatch action, there was a time Quake was best known for its single-player design.
That all changed as time passed (i.e., after Quake 3 Arena). Multiplayer deathmatches were never the same.
As other FPS games leaned more into improved narrative and storytelling, id Software delivered a genre-defining multiplayer experience.
Quake 3, and the iterations, will always be one of the best multiplayer series releases.
As far as campaigns, I think 1 and 4 are great, but that 2 was garbage.
Quake Champions was a joke on and didn't capitalize on much of anything that made the series great.
Omar Banat: Despite the passage of time, the consistent player bases for these six ongoing games have stuck around through all of the highs and lows.
Huh, I'm not surprised at a couple of these but I did not think For Honor would have had the staying power that it did. Maybe I should pick it back up....
How about Warhammer Vermintide, seriously those games slap big time, and i've rarely had an issue matchmaking, but no one ever talks about them
I’d add Factions to the list. It has a smaller but super strong fan base. My brothers and I have put more hours into factions than all other multiplayer games combined
BlackShot: Revolution is a free-to-play fast-paced tactical multiplayer FPS with elite Mercenaries, customizable loadouts and several challenging game modes.
Parabellum is pretty good, though it's not out yet. It's using Unreal Engine 3 with the same lighting engine as Mirror's Edge.
just as a side note, id like to add
Tremulous
open arena
alien arena
Nexuiz
Sauerbraten and..
warsow
these are all free, open source, and very fun to play, these are also availible on linux and some on mac
and you can even play them on your ps3
Was surprised it wasn't on the list. I got into the beta and really enjoyed the Multiplayer.
... though when the game came out I focused on the single-player and only dabbled in the Multiplayer for a little while.
