Top 5 Free-To-Play MMOFPS Shooters For February

By Cody Hargreaves

MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) are great. They allow you to explore an uncharted new world alone or with friends, slay terrible beats, upgrade to new weapons and equipment and receive rewards for completing various tasks across the land.

But every now and then, I feel like something a little different. That’s usually when I stumble across the MMOFPS (Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter) games; instead, they offer a more action-orientated experience. Join a game with 20 or so other players and shoot madly until you’re the only one left standing: that’s usually how it goes. It’s fast. It’s furious. It’s fun. Oh, and here at MMORPG.co.uk, it’s Free.

But there are literally hundreds of MMOFPS titles floating around the Internet. How are you ever supposed to find which ones are the best for you? Simple: keep reading below. I’ll show you.

5. MAT – Mission Against Terror

Mission Against Terror (MAT) is a 3D MMOFPS that features a wide variety of game modes, weapon choices and upgrade options.

Additionally, Mission Against Terror (MAT) is well known for featuring fast-paced, highly competitive gameplay. In 2009 it was sanctioned by the China Electrical Gaming Committee as the only Free-to-Play MMOFPS that qualified for high-level competitive gameplay. Are you game?

4. Wolf Team

WolfTeam is a Tactical MMOFPS that closely resembles shooters like Counter-Strike and Half-Life, though with a slight twist: while you begin playing each game as a Marine, you can also transform into a Werewolf.

Putting aside the ability to play as a Werewolf, WolfTeam is a traditional MMOFPS that utilises all of the genre favourite features such as upgradeable weapons, multiple game modes and an equipment store that sells new items and weapons to assist your matchmaking domination.

Dragonica Expansion “Awakening of the Ice Dragon” goes live tomorrow!

Gala Networks Europe, the leading free-to-play games publisher that operates the Gpotato portal, is delighted to announce the launch of Awakening of the Ice Dragon for Dragonica, the free action MMO, for all servers. The expansion will go live on Tuesday, February 15th and will include a level cap raise to 75, an entire new continent and a wide range of new features based around in-game markets and auctions.

The biggest addition in Awakening of the Ice Dragon is the brand new ice continent of Pagosia. As the name suggests, large portions of Pagosia are entombed in ice, with its frosty appearance enhanced by the spooky spectral creatures that live in its fresh landscape. Seasoned heroes, from level 62 upwards, will find a large quantity of new maps in Pagosia, filled with new sets of both hero and daily quests, providing more than enough challenges for players racing to the new maximum character level of 75.

Awakening of the Ice Dragon will also see features for Dragonica players who are not quite as eager to race to the level cap as soon as possible. Three new dungeons named Citadel of Torment, Wolves Den and Underground Graveyard will be available for any players between the levels of 15 and 40. Furthermore, the new F7 strategic defence mode in mission maps, which challenges players to defend their stone by creating defensive structures and attacking monsters, is available to players above level 48. With this suite of new content and new ways to play and progress, Awakening of the Ice Dragon really does have something for everyone…

Awakening of the Ice Dragon will also see the addition of some functional features, such as the ability for players to purchase and open their own personal market stall. This enables anyone to set up a shop to sell their merchandise on any map, or in profitable, high-traffic locations such as the entrances to mission maps. Getting around Dragonica’s expanding world is also set to get cheaper, with warp tower prices being reduced between 3% and 50% throughout the game. Members of guilds will also be able to visit a new vendor selling exclusive consumable items for Emporia Battles and finally, a brand new guild vault will also be available for use with the new Emporia Bidding system, which now uses gold rather than the precious Guild EXP as its currency.
