For a sub-genre of MMO’s that hasn’t been around all that long, there are an absolute slew of free to play MMOFPS, MMOTPS and multiplayer online shooter games on the market. It’s not surprising really; this genre is like the perfect melding of two seemingly disparate things. The relentless action and excitement of shooters, with the joy of social features and item collecting found in RPG’s. With so many new entries out there, we figured we’d help you sort through them all with this list of the Top 10 Free Shooters to Play in 2012.
10. S4 League
This anime-inspired 3D MMOTPS is quite different from everything else out there, featuring standard shooting modes like deathmatch, to go with its own unique, team-based modes. There’s also a good deal of character and equipment customization.
Play now: S4 League
9. Battlefield Heroes
Battlefield Heroes is a charming 3D free to play cel-shaded MMOTPS game. It features several modes, vehicles, and weapons to master, and skills to unlock. Battlefield Heroes has a great sense of humor that runs through the entire game and adds to its charm. Those looking for solid shooting action in a funny and stylish package should enter this battlefield.
Play now: Battlefield Heroes
8. Combat Arms
One of the most popular free to play FPS game for a reason; Combat Arms features great balance, a ton of content, and is plain fun to play. There’s tons of equipment customizing, though equipment comes with the slightly annoying wrinkle that it’s timed and does not last forever.
Play now: Combat Arms
7. Alliance of Valiant Arms
Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA) offers up tons of awesome game modes, near-limitless customization, and some of the tightest shooting gameplay to be found online. It’s good looking and stable, thanks to the Unreal Engine powering its thirst for blood, and runs nearly lag free.
Play now: Alliance of Valiant Arms
The second venture of Electronic Arts in the free-to-play genre with the Battlefield name (after the cartoony Battlefield Heroes), Battlefield Play4Free is a more serious game. Based mostly on the acclaimed Battlefield 2 game, this FPS offers 32-player battles in a Middle East setting. Players choose between the United States and Russia sides and enter some exhilarating FPS action. There are 16 vehicles to use in the game maps, such as helicopters, tanks and fighter jets, making things even more chaotic.
Play now: Battlefield Play4Free
5. Blacklight: Retribution
Blacklight: Retribution is the follow-up to Blacklight: Tango Down, a 2010 downloadable shooter that earned some mixed reviews. This free-to-play FPS fixes some of the problems of the original title and adds some much needed quality to the genre. Among the distinctive features are the HRV (that lets you look through walls for partners and enemies) and the hardsuit, an hulking armor pretty much similar to a mech. With great graphics, customizable weapons and fast and furious gameplay, Blacklight: Retribution is well worth seeking out by fans of rock-solid FPS games.
Play now: Blacklight: Retribution
After a warm critical reception, developer Hi-Rez Studio decided to drop the subscription on their jetpack-powered MMO shooter Global Agenda, and later opted for the addition of a free-to-play model. And then Global Agenda: Free Agent was revealed. Global Agenda: Free Agent offers some exciting team-based PvP gameplay and Agency vs. Agency territory conflict in a third-person perspective. The crisp graphics and polished presentation make this game truly shine.
Play now: Global Agenda: Free Agent
3. Tribes Ascend
With the experience gained with Global Agenda, it’s hard to think of a better suited studio than Hi-Rez to work on the popular Tribes franchise. Tribes: Ascend fully delivered on what fans were expecting of it, offering exciting and fast-paced FPS combat where jetpacks truly make a difference. The vibrant colors help create a compelling world that is quickly filled with all kinds of weapon blasts that any player with a slight interest for sci-fi and experience in the genre (not mandatory but helpful) just has to enjoy.
Play now: Tribes: Ascend
2. APB Reloaded
APB spent just a few months as a retail product and was promptly shut down… but not forgotten. GamersFirst acquired the rights for this MMO and after a revamp (including some features such as a new district and clan-based combat mechanics, among others) released it to an eager community. APB Reloaded is one of a kind and the mix of third-person shooting and driving is a successful one. The Criminals vs. Enforcers gameplay is an exciting one and the city of San Paro acts as a solid playground. APB Reloaded it´s not a perfect game (well… no game is perfect, all of them have flaws) but GamersFirst has a blockbuster in their hands, a MMO game with many indisputable qualities. If you like non-stop action, this is the one.
Play now: APB Reloaded
1. Team Fortress 2
Valve stormed the market by unleashing Team Fortress 2 as a free-to-play game, offering what is undoubtedly one of the finest shooters ever for free. It’s not just the brilliant cartoon visuals – from which Battlefield Heroes was clearly inspired – or the polished game mechanics, but also the humor that the charismatic characters bring to the matches. If there’s a free shooter out there that everyone must play, that shooter is Team Fortress 2. As long as Valve keeps things balanced between the free and premium players, this is a game that has a fantastic lasting appeal.
Play now: Team Fortress 2
This impressive list of free shooters stands to grow even larger throughout the year, and several new MMOFPS and MMOTPS games are in development. Whether they can top any of the games on this list remains to be seen, but they’ll have their hands full. Still, we can’t wait to see where this genre takes us in 2012 and beyond.
Remember that we are featuring only the most recent free to play shooters so we are not including free shooter classics such as War Rock, Wolf Team, America’s Army and others.

And Battlefield Play 4 Free?
battlefield play4 free is just the same as battlefield heroes
no!!!
you’re funny))
it doesnt have anything like Battlefield Heroes
ya but you should try ghost recon online so its still havent yet come out the client downoad
its way diferent
You’re kidding, right?
no its not its way way way better than battlefield heroes it has alot of weapons and awesome graphics too. -.- that’s why its number 3 -.-
BFP4F and BFH are different cause the person(P4F it’s 1st person and BFH it’s 3rd person and other
even if it was that would just make like it more
how can you switch from guns at the same time wen you are ad the battle
battlefield play4free is better
battelfildplay4free sucks i played it it sucks u have to pay and the others have the best gun even if they dont see u and u try to kill tham thay kill u first battlefieldplay4free sucks
that just means that u suck XD
have you even played the two games they are totally different, graphix gameplay maps guns, what an idiot.
Actually you are a dumbass and play4free is firstperson and is way better and second of all battlefield heroes is thirdperson and gives you terrible guns at the beggining.
no its just battlefield has better graphics and its better than battlefield heroes because battlefield heroes is for kids and battlefield isnt (it has blood in it btw)
nope battlefield play4free is way better and it is not the same….
NOPE!
Play4Free is much better in gameplay than Heroes, and characters and ambientations are much more different.
Battle field play for free is like a beta for battle field three, it was a test server that is now closed…
Are you THAT much of an idoit? There nothing alike. -.-
No change bro, 1. it’s First person 2. It looks way more like BF3 than BFH 3. New weopens, and not anime.
How can this be like Battlefield hero?
lol battlefield heros is 3rd person battlefield play4free is first person with iron sights without skills and its more realistic.
however it IS made by the same company (i think…)(too lazy too google it)(i know im rlly fking lazy)
not at all one is from first person one is frow 3 person
it sucks
Play4Free was probably one of the bigger disappointments of this year so far. The battlefield series so far has been great, and in my opinion, not a single one of their games was bad until this terrible game. The Battlefield series got its charm from its extensive squad system. The mediocre shooter would then turn into an amazing, coordinated gaming experience online if your squad stayed together. Play4Free removes the squad aspect, without promoting lone wolf game play, everyone is confused and nothing awesome can take place.
There are two games which it derives game play from…
Battlefield 2: Battlefield 2 was amazing. When you got into a squad that would work together, you could take the entire other team on. The ability to go prone was a great part of the game. I can’t count how many times I went prone in some grass and went unnoticed by a group of players or a tank that could easily kill me. This added a level of stealth normally only in single player titles. Battlefield Play4Free removes this aspect of the game, but places you right in the center of maps designed to go prone in. It does not work.
Battlefield Bad Company 2: BC2 had a cool unlock system which greatly rewarded good teamwork. Play4 free dashed that with a pay to win style weapon store.
I could give many more reasons why they only took the worst parts of the two games and broke the good parts when they ported it, but I don’t have time. Again, Play4Free took the good and the bad from battlefields 2 and bad company 2, but the good is broken and the bad stays intact. Sorry for the improper grammar, but I really don’t have time to write out a coherent argument right now.
ya but for MMOFPS/MMFPS its is one of the only games with maps of that size and bullet drop.
I couldnt agree more, I was expecting more from this game.
me too
Lets agree to disagree on this one b/c battlefield play for free is awesome. It has already been stated that squad based game play is coming and you should remember that this game is just out of closed beta and is still in open beta. The statement about the payment system is incorrect also. There is no significant advantage over paying for your weapons except it will save you time from grinding for your veteran weapons. If your in a hurry just pay five bucks and buy your weapons permanently since you are comparing this to AAA retail releases that go for $60. This game is far superior to any other free fps mmo out there in my opinion. Be honest with these posts my friend and play more than a few rounds and read the forums before you disown this great free game.
I agree with you.. on grounds of an online free to play fps, Play4free is is definitely one of the best. Don’t change the subject by bringing in console games… clearly console games will dwarf a online f2p
Shut up BFP4F is really worth it’s spot!!! APB no doubt the BEST!!!
honestly from wat ive seen AVA is much beter than BFP4F
Ur a dum boob bfp4f suck her me sucks
apb sucks its full of hackers like in any other game…
BATTLEPLAY4FREE SHOULD BE 1!
thats y its in beta:P
Jeez man, you have to realise that it is only a free online fps game! It probably didnt do prone cause they maybe forgot.And the game updates so they may do prone later in the updates.It isnt like Xbox or Ps3, its just a fun free online fps game! In my opinion, yes it is the best free fps online shooter on the web so far! And Wartoon187, i couldnt agree with you more, the game is only going to get better and better, and the prices are going to get lower, i know that because i check the prices weekly. I bet you didnt even try the game, you just watched the video. You need to review your comments and think before posting mindless junk like you did.Its a brilliant game,thats the end of it.
And btw thats to AuntyJ
Battlefield Play for free is just a holdover basically while we all waited for BF3. Its not MEANT to be a seriously full fledged and fleshed out battlefield. Its simply what the name states, a free version. If you were expecting a full battlefield experience, thats just a bit silly
do u have to download it
no just go to the site or look on google
battlefield p4f is just beter than battlefieldheroes Battlefield Heroes Battlefield p4f is real and battlefieldheroes not p4f battlefield you have helicopters and fighter jets, battlefield heroes is signed and clearly fake
U obviously are a total jackass…Battlefield Heroes is supposed to be a cartoony style game, and so it is not “fake”, and neither of them are better cause u can’t compare them, the realistic players might like battlefield P4F, and the cartoon style gamers might like BFH more.
They already added it, and WHY THE F*** IS IT TOP 10 IF THERES 12 GAMES IN THE LIST???
Hey my names also Gabriel!
I think he choose only games that are only in open beta to final. BF P4F is closed beta.
From this list, I already played MicroVolts, BF Heroes, Combat Arms, S4 League, GunZ, Crimecraft, Project Blackout and Cross Fire. I’ll take a look in Genesis A.D..
You should leave a spot for games like battery arctic wind =X When its out, People will probs leave AVA
The top 10 free shooters will be updated
when does artic wind come out??
it will maybe come out on ijji but maybe some american company might buy it from the korean’s, its like Call Of Duty, great graphics!
just wait
hmm…. ok…. thanks
Well the game Battery Artic wind is coming out soon. The american version to. The website is http://www.webzen.com/ enjoy <DaNiinja
Great list, I agree about 99.9% which must be a first for these type of ‘Best Of..” lists. Usually half of them are wrong but in this case it nails it perfectly!
AVA is definitely the best of the best and I’m sure will remain king for quite a while – yes Battery Arctic Wind will surpass it but that’s a good ways off for western players.
you are defenetly right and BAW might become its greates rival
I’ve played all of these. I would have to agree that they are all great.
lol me too XD but its hard to find a perfect one i chose the exact great one so does anyone know a perfect fps online
I think you need to add Metal Assault now.
no, metal assault’s still in closed beta why would they add a game in cbt? its kind of pointless if you dont have the key.
Now its in OBT
my issue with a lot of the f2p first person shooters is the amount of hacking.
I played Alliance of Valiant Arms for better part of the day and thought I was having troubles playing then I figured out it was nonstoping hacking by two members of the previous team.
Not tf2
Great list, the main problem for me about these games is how quickly the modes can get stale as their is a lack of a long term goal or progression. However that can be a problem for shooters in general, one great fps you forgot on the list is Quake Live, Small download and fast paced action.
no1 plays ava every1 playes combat arms
If no1 plays ava, they go to Combat arms to hack repeatedly.
Combat arms was a disapointment for me Mainly cause of the horrid controls and hackers ruining gameplay AvA has easyer movements desent graphics and little to no hackers
true
Ava is great,its got good graphics low lag,but crossfire is full of hackers….
I second for quake online. Granted it could use some new content, but for the die hard fps fans it’s a solid f2p game.
Where’s APB reloaded? That be coming to open beta by next month at lest i would say.
I Would say
1. Crossfire
2. S4 League
3. AvA
4. Blackout
no, crossfire should before before Blackout and ava should be first, CF is full of nonstop laggers who are ages 6-10 (was rare for me to find a teenager over the age of 15 or an adult -.-).
yeap. + wits my speed 30mbs & ping 25 they call me lagger with ping 70+ & unknown speed (probably 5mps, 10 mps max)
and damn br’s too
ava is a cool game and i think the list is good now
I would say that AVA is the best FPS and so far (As I have read on hackers/hacking sites) AVA is one of the hardest game to hack. So there isn’t alot of hackers on it. And keeping the weapons forever is a plus. Also the Durability on items is suitable for Adult gamers/College students. All in all AVA PWNS!!
you said it right!!:P
You also forget Firefall, probably the free to play FPS with the biggest budget. And it look gorgeous.
That game is shenduled at the end of 2011 so i don’t think they add it atm
What about Quake Live?
All i see from most of these a generic army simulators.
AAAAAAAND A.V.A defends his title yeah
I must say Combat Arms is not Rank 2 becouse too many Cheaters!!!
Nice list and i agree on most of them, but still i’m also missing Operation7 and Wolf Team.
o yeah..wolfteam is also quiet nice
Want to play another fun shooter? Sign up for Soldier Front! It`s made the same ppl that made gunZ so you dont have to sign up for anything else if you play gunZ.Only problem is that is takes forever to get out of the first rank……..
well not really, depends how you look at it because the highest ranks there like over 10k SP in between…so it doesn’t really matter. Plus, soldier front is not about ranks, its about your k/d ration or just how much you own =P
What about APB: Reloaded? Is it not in the list ’cause of the closed beta stuff? Or just because they forgot about it since realtime worlds got shut down last year?
Because its in closed beta
But the Closed beta Owns
And What About Global Agenda went free to play yesterday ?
We will update the top soon
If you want to play fun, fast-paced FPS, but one that’s not online (however, this one doesn’t have to be installed; its in a zip file), try AssaultCube. Though it comes only with about eight actual weapons, each can be mastered to deadly perfection. I personally prefer the Carbine, I kick ass with that thing.
I wish CS were free.nevertheless i play gunz on my sh** PC.Thanks for the list.You might wanna give Soldier Front a thought for a place in this line-up.
There is always counterstrike online (f2P) copy of counter strike
Check it out !
ProductionScope~
There always is a free version of CS
Counter strike online :http://cso.iahgames.com/site/index.aspx
but the server’s are hosted in singapore but the game is avaible worldwide
genesis AD is not animore in the list from ijji why??
Genesis is not on ijji beacuse the makers want to develop it abit more, so i woukl say about in 3 months time, it will be on ijji, i play AVA; haunted311
thanks man!XD
Yeah Genisis AD was a good game I played in the closed and open betas before it shut down. The game play was good but over all it still needed some work so they pulled it. It will be back though so don’t worry.
Where is wolfteam?
Microvolts is the best of this shit, the graphic is funny, but the game is great, everyone should played it
As I am a CF veteran player, playing the game around 2 years now, I recommend you NOT to play CrossFire because there ARE hackers all the time, which makes the game impossible to play. The game itself is really great and very addictive but there is NO fair-play. No anti-cheat engine will help that game because they don’t want to be helped. The whole thing is to get your money… It is completely ruined… So good luck with that. I quit.
cf vceteran – im with u 100%. I was playing that game for 2 years & left it becoase of hackers 2 month ago
I like how it said that Combat Arms has balance.
Made me LAWL
i was wondering if u all knew a good game that is FPS and that i dont have to download. my computer is a bit slow and doesnt have that much gaming power. any ideas??? thanks in advance.
hmm maby battlefield heroes?
hey guys i wanna say that there is (new) cool game that i think is nice
APB reloaded there are a bit of problems but if the problems are over than it is a nice game
meXD
Whoa whoa whoa….
“Combat Arms features great balance”
Are you f***ing kidding me? You can use real money to buy characters that have more speed and defense and the gun you start off with is no where near the ones you can only get through micro transactions. AvA has balanced gameplay. Battlefield has balanced gameplay. Combat Arms does not have balanced gameplay.
AVA is the sh.t!!!!!!the best real game
about (2. Combat Arms) lots of hacks…more then on ava..
I agree with AVA, its an outstanding game.
project blackout should be in a better position and combat arms should be in a worst.
why APB isnt there
i have AVA nad its a download. those of you that have it, plz look for aa12gauge. thats me
APB is not here because this is not good game. APB is just next GTA clone. Simply APB is much worse then GTA 4. And they thought this game will be p2p, it is crazy.
You know what’s funny about your comment? The guy who created the GTA franchise is the guy who designed and developed APB:R. So, there’s really no ‘clone’ to it. APB:R is actually a great game if you have time to play it.
APB is the next gen of FPS and it will only get better. have you playied APB R samex?
Where is blackshot…..One os the best free fps games out there fo sure…
BF Play4Free > A.V.A. Excuse me… WHAT?
APB LAGGS LIKE HELL
LOL i get 63 or lower on eu1 server and am from the uk. so either u have a bad pc bad internet connection. or you picked the wrong server.
I don’t get why Global Agenda is an MMO Shooter. To me Global Agenda was a Sci-Fi MMORPG with shooting components. I mean, you do quests, raids, etc. Maybe it’s just the fact that it’s not lobby based. It just seems like a MMORPG to me!
A.V.A is WAAAAY better than BF P4F!!!!!
Battlefield play 4 free is like a more adult version of BFH (battlefield heroes)
and some of the maps are the same!!!!
its what happens when u make a play 4 free game from a hit fps.
Gamers first bought a great game from a bad company, however they are greed mongels, and they scam you, I personally spend $200.00 + and randomly after I spent their G1 I was banned for hacking …. I requested to see the .exe or even a screenshot or a video or even the name of said hack.
1) if my kids used it, they never play again
2) if its a virus I want to remove it
3) if its G1 scamming money in hopes I will sub a new account, lawsuit pending.
CHECK OUT WARINC
its a good free shooter !
APB 4 teh WIN GUYS =D
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE GUYS THAT SAY THAT THEY PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR GAME, <
even premium account is only few bucks< everybody can spend few bucks if needed.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND APB TO EVERBODY
+18 ; )
u must be 1 of the hackers in it that win cuz of hacking that iw why u sey it is good lol
Whoever wrote the text about APB Reloaded obviously hasn’t played the game.
Gamersfirst didn’t add a new district nor any clan-based combat mechanics yet.
Though it’s a good game and deserves to be on top!
Yea, I noticed that too… APB:Reloaded hasn’t added anything to the game just yet, but they have improved the game well past where it was when RTW crashed and burned. And why did it take GamersFirst two months to tell their playerbase about this list? It was posted up in April!
Get the conspiracy theorists warmed up!
NO WAY cf is in top 10 !!!!!!! i was playing it for 2 years & left it becoase of hackers. EVEN AFTER PATCH GAME HAVE HACKERS. there was a patch 2 weeks ago & some hacks still working(my friend using 1 hack for 5 months now). I wont give cf place in here coz of programists failure to create a good anti hack protection. Alsou i play apb reloaded & alsou dont whont give it place here coz of programists irresponsobility to create such a simple stuff like: remove lags, make a good team ballance (stuff like 1vs2;1vs3;1vs4 is getting booooooring) repair their bug report system. But apb is just an obt so i realy do hope they will fix all that stuff in this month
& idont think that my ATHLON X4 3.0gGz ASUS NVIDIA 9600 512MB+ 1 GB OF DDR3 ON BOARD & KINGSTON 2GB 800 Gz(?) is too low for medium settings of graphic
Your friend hacks? but you dont like hackers…. wow man, just wow… anyways CF has hardly any hackers compared to CA.
And you seem awful quick to hate on programmers who are working their arse’s off making you games that they DON’T CHARGE FOR….
What have you coded lately and given away to the masses?
S4 league is life !!!! gameplay and team play are so great and realy nice comme intoo french server if u want meet the best
Dunno what people have against BF:Play4Free. See, you have a completly free game with a lot of players, a filled item shop (I spent 10 € for bf play4free to support ea a bit) and pretty nice maps. The game balance is okay. IT’S FREE damn.
APB Reloaded is cool. Unreal Engine was the best choice for APB. I love playing this game.
Which will be adding the best: Ghost Recon Online!!
i am wation 4 it too
Kudos to All Points Bulletin: Reloaded for getting first place on the list.
It is certainly doing a lot better in the hands of GamersFIRST then how it was with Realtime Worlds.
And Battlefield: Play 4 Free is fun.
Don’t know why people complain.
I mean, you can actually play the game without the need to buy either weapons or clothes.
Some of this is messed up… Combat Arms is horrible; It’s populated by hackers, without an exaggeration. Battlefield Heroes is a pretty poorly made game… Crimecraft and Microvolts should be in the top five somehwere, honestly, but I do agree with the top two completely. I bought them both when they were retail.
Ghost recon online / a.a [i currently play] /Combat arms doesnt deserve to be on the list to many hackers and Artic battery i am waiting for.
I play Micro Volts, Both Battlefields and APB Reloaded and I found BFP4F and APB are the best
hope this helps
Am I the only one who realizes several errors in this article? Does MMOBomb even have an editor?
Hi woodchuck, can you send us more info about the errors via email?
I will this afternoon
, sorry I didn’t see the comment until now.
E-mailed you about the errors, no corrections or response… -_-
Team Fortress 2!!!!!!!!!!!
time to update TF2 in
These days,
Crossfire = moderate amount of hacks (not soo bad)
BFP4F = I’ve only seen 2 hackers in 2 months on this game…
Combat Arms = Seriously… Hackers everywhere that ruin the game, a support ticket was leaked where Nexon unbanned a hacker after he promised to pay more cash for in game currency… so As far as I’m concerned CA is NOT an fps, NOT a real game and Nexon ISN”T a real enough company to care about anything but money…
ava should be number 2
LOL shouldnt be top 12?!
stop arguing battlefield P4F is actually pretty cool….AVA is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better though
and micro volts if u like TPS
I think Arma 2 Free… should be now in the List in a GOOOD Place… is free, but really and completetly free, dont have cash shop or anyting, in extreme realistic, very good gameplay, Massive Multiplayer, can make your own missions… and they even let you have your own server for free, they gift you de server client… o.O
And you can Train in Singleplayer, without internet for free… just a couple of missions and the entire Academy for free… so when you play agains other you already have training ^^ Great game =D
APB is suck PB play to much is boringgggg
They should really add TF2!!
well from my point of view
operation 7 is my fav fps game of all time
Hahahahahaha! Team fortress is the best F2p shooter? Man, I needed a good laugh today.
Uberstrike is cool too!
global agenda has no place in this top , is the lamest and booring game ever
tf2 no.1? u gotta be kidding , give back to APB what he deserves
Well, Global Agenda is actually a great game. It’s got a totally different theme, and it pulls it off just fine. I bought that game a year ago or so.
As for APB:R… Love the game, but it’s a broken game, to tell the truth. It’s also got some of the most hated business methods (e.i. rented weapons, power to the payer, etc).
what the f** i read they cant inculde wolf team cause its old combat arms is older then wolf team. wolf team came out in 09. combat arms 08
Combat Arms is much more updated
Where is WARROCK
APB the best team fortres 3-rd
APB Reloaded SUCKS!!! I always loose and i can’t get a single kill its cuz the gun is shaking and my computer jammed a little
they shouldnt do that shaky shaky thing
So… Because you aren’t good, the game sucks? Faulty logic there, kid.
battlefield play4free is the best FREE FPS available others FPS I saw like CROSSFIRE, COMBAT ARMS, ALLIANCE OF VALIANT ARMS ARE ALL SCAM, and BULLSHIT
battlefield play4free is the best FREE FPS available others FPS I saw like CROSSFIRE, COMBAT ARMS, ALLIANCE OF VALIANT ARMS ARE ALL SCAM.
i think A.V.A should be #1
Crimecraft is way better then APB, and most of this list.
There are personal likes and dislikes, and most people (including me) like APB more than Crimecraft, and if they would really do it top 10 it wouldn’t be on the list, which I agree is correct.
APB is way better than Crimecraft in all ways, graphics, gameplay, options and so on…
This is my opinion and I agree that lots of people think the same, as more people play APB than Crimecraft.
I can’t agree about 1st and 2nd places, tho this are the games I would put there but not in that order.
I think that APB is an amazing game, of course it deserves the 2nd place, but on the other hand, TF2 is also an amazing game, its special because its more animated and has more classes and so on, but I find the game less F2P than P2P, because if you play TF2 as a F2P player, you will find it harder to play and win against other players, most of ‘em will be premium as if they were playing the game before F2P.
AVA IS HOLY EPICNESS
In my opinion Battlefield Heroes is the number 1 online shooter. I’ve been playing it since I got into the closed beta test back in July of 2008. Team Fortress 2 comes in at a very close 2nd though. Then would come Global Agenda, then APB, then Battlefield Paly4Free, then Crimecraft, and then S4. The rest are crap copies of Counter Strike.
TF2 on top where it should be
heh good
TF2 sure deservers the first place,its fun,have a nice team work and who says that is bad is because cant kill anybody,i play free and i killed a lot of players,the only difference between premium and f2p is the experience,because who played after knows how to play,and i prefer TF2 than any BF our others shooters that are a copy of each other,at least TF2 have team work not “lone-wolf” style based that make any game suks
hey they should add ( wolfteam ) to top10 its amazing ..
If Firefall, Tribes Ascend, or Blacklight Retribution don’t top this list than I’ll know for sure Valve is paying people off to hype up TF2.
APB is the only one I have to vehemently disagree with. While customization is excellent the game itself is very lacking in content.
APB reloaded should be first, but the amount of ram it sucks up and lag it sometimes throws for no reason kicks me off the wheel.
You try killing someone when the game freezes for 1 second (or less).
That is enaught to take a couple critical hits and die. (not literally “Critical” hits.)
But yes, chewing up 1.5 gigs of ram is not that cute, especially when you got a laptop with integrated graphics that already suck up 1 gig or even more, depending on graphic level.
COMBAT ARMS? BALANCED? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
no seriously…
f”” you nexon.
Looks good to me. I’ve played alot of CoD4 and unfortunately I cant play it in my laptop and my silly internet connection. It’s really a great game and most shooters that are more popular around here have crappy graphics and boring gameplay. *ahem*like crossfire*ahem* I’m sure it has positive points but when I watch people play it it’s just dumb when they respawn at the same place, run to a choke point, kill a few people, and die. So I’ve been under the impression that most online shooters are like this and I’ve had an aversion against them ever since. I’ve played BFH and they’re really just ignoring it. It’s like they’re thinking they can leave a half assed game on the market and expect it to fetch them a payday. I mean it’s been beta for 3 years or so and it still doesnt have a lobby. I’m downloading TF2 right now though. I’ve had a bit of an aversion to it because it looks like BFH and for some strange anti-fetish for TF. It looks good though, I see alot of people are doing it. I hear alot of people mentioning minecraft and TF2 and though my strage aversion to over popular games, I’m giving TF2 a chance.
P.S. Wow… for some reason TF2 doesnt have that red underline on it when you type a non-dictionary word… Is it THAT popular? O.o
AVA is the best game i ever played it has good graphics a zombie mode and some modes like in COD (hope u guys like it my name is Hassan32 if u ever meet me)
Battle Field Play4Free Ftw is awsome i recomend trying it!
Y the F*** is team fortress number one ???? i think combatarms is even better than that lol the only thing i hate about combatarms is that 85% of the game is hackers!!!!!!
Combat arms over project blackout i think not?
and basttlefield play4free is nothing like battlefield heroes are u nuts one is cartoon and u sit on the win of a plane and shoot in battlefield heroes one is more hardcore war based one is not
why team fortress is #1???? get it down!!!
BFP4F Is a download or play-on-site game?
-NaTe
Where is wolf Team?
Don’t play Alliance of Valliant Arms.
The scenarios arent fair
Hackers are now coming
You get banned for no reason
Although it was a good game… i suggest you not to install it.
In a couple of months it will be filled with hackers now that there are hackers…
Great list, my only complain is Global Agenda, in my opinion that game doesnt deserve to be in the top 10.
i would put Project Blackout and S4 higher up and TF2 not on it at all and battlefield i would remove 2
so cool
Battlefield Heroes isnt free, nearly all items are Cash items, including weapons, cosmetic changes, even one-use healing items.
It was once more like 50/50 but somewhere they changed it to nearly all Cash Items, so its just a trial mode game, with no subscription option.
Blackshot better for all this games..
It’s in Beta Version!
WHERE IS WOLFTEAM!!!
I would like to see a free to play version of homefront
Battlefield play4Free is the free version of Battlefield 2
BAttlefield Play4Free is sooooo much better now that they listened. You can buy guns permanently with BFs and Credits, also there is now weapon customization.
i never plaid this game befor is it good
They should do a top 10 paid shooter games, available for other consoles like PS3 and Xbox, of course there would be a problem with COD:MW3 and BF3, but no problem, of course they wouldn’t waste their time doing it, also APB Reloaded is nice because you can drive cars, it’s bad because you can’t interact too much with someone that isn’t in a mission with and against you.
all AVA needs to get me to play it is the ability to use ironsights…it rly bugs me when u cant!
every1 shud also try blacklight retribution
you forgot to add a game, Microvolts!
you guys should do a new BF p4f video
Not wanting to be negative or anything like that,MMOBOMB, create another page of coments, this page is lagging too much because of numerous comments, just create a page 2, or 3…
battlefield is awesome. i tried it.
What about microvolts online ? :O
http://www.microvolts.com/
ok, now what type of person adds team fortress 2 as number 1 in top 10 free shooter games. i mean thats just sad right there, team fortress has the worst graphics ever and its so unrealistic. combat arms should have been up in about 3rd – 4th place but seriously?!!!! team fortress should be in 10th!!!!!!!!!
team fortress 2 doesn’t have the best graphics but its fun to play just like battle field heros. i played combat arms and its really good and fun besides too many hackers its a really good game too
nothing is better than MAT missin againste terror
Battlefield Play4Free Pay4Fun TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
APB is realy good ? i play BF P4F anb BF Heroes
APB sux !!!! dont download
I heard that BattlefieldPlay4Free has tons of viruses that EA doesn’t want to do anything about.
Add Repulse, it is a very good fps
Combat Arms should be removed from the top 10 list due to the lack of decent customer service and the fact hackers rule that game
Funny Team Fortress 2 is 1st yet i deleted it because i was bored of it o ready same maps same actions same tricks 2 kill ppl with spy,pyro,sniper and so on i wanna try some new kind of FPS i heard half the games in here like AvA,Cross Fire and Combat arms have lots of laggers any good games 2 play ummmm maybe micro volts
Played Microvolts for a while, nice game, I pwned everyone and was in first for some rounds, then the game started to get boring, don’t waste your computer space, if you left Team Fortress 2 for these reasons, you will leave Microvolts way faster, well, no good game out there.
i o ready played microvolts right after TF2 i is boring as hell
u do the same stuff only diffrent map…i got in killed like 20 ppl and got out … what a nice challange srry for the bad english dont wanna chack spell
hey is it just called battle field?
most of these games are hack fests… Honestly I have NO idea how apb made it where it is after initially being shut down and about to get scrapped before being picked up by G1. Even after G1 picked it up the game is still garbage, nerfed the customizations, nerfed the guns (except the LTL Enforcer, I almost swear they made it stronger then when RTW initially published the game) , and the hacks just got worse and are even advertised ALL over youtube… I mean APB went from a game that had potential to a pure hack fest, same with most of the games listed here.
Plus this was written back in april 2011, isn’t it rather early to make a “games to play in 2012″ before Q2?
Blacklight Retribution, if fixed and worked on properly and not destroyed like just about every other game published by PWE, will blow about 10/11 of these games out of the water.
Crimecraft should have a way higher spot then 11th… Crimecraft > APB just due to the overall gameplay, graphics may not be up to par but there’s so much more to do in Crimecraft then in APB.
(Any fps game released post 2010 without ADS shouldn’t even be listed.. )
Crossfire = Counterstrike 1.6 and a half…
Project Blackout = Counterstrike Kinda sorta source.
Global Agenda = GARBAGE.
AvA = Hackfest,
Combat Arms = Hackfest (hax also advertised all over youtube),
BF Heroes attempted to become a TF2 Clone and FAILED,
BF P4F = GARBAGE, its like they totally took a crap on the entire BF series up until that nonsense was released.
S4 League is probably the ONLY game up here that is really worth playing anymore especially with the latest updates. Only main downfail with S4 is the lag issues and that most people that play it can’t seem to speak english or understand english properly to play in their own region’s servers to attempt to prevent the lag issue (since S4 NA got cancelled).
This list is crap, especially with most of these games being pretty much exactly the same and heavily cash shop driven…
Man, shut up, S4 League had more hacks than all the hackfests you listed, and it’s graphics suck, so as it’s servers, I gotta agree that mostly games being Pay to Win sucks, only good game there is Team Fortress 2, but since it’s that server stuff and no rank or level sistem, it could be better, and APB is better than Crimecraft in numerous things, other that more people play it, maybe this list is because of that, the most playable free shooters.
both bfh and bfp4f are pay to win games
Where the f*ck is Blacklight: Retribution ?
blacklight isn’t free -.-
Yes it is -_-
Team Fortres 1° all times
Team Fortress 2 first, not big surprise…
Where is Blacklight: Retribution?
otakucho. you are hte only sane person in here. props. cheers
The best games for me

TF2 and A.V.A.
If anyone wants to play with me find me on steam-profile NinjaStylle
You guys are NOOBS!
anyways Project blackout is best…
I used to own in Combat Arms, but I left because in that game you get kicked for being good (I’m not lying) when you are in an elite(paying user) room, or you just get doomed by hackers (fly/speed/aimbots/wallhack) if you go in normal rooms.
Now I’m in Battlefield Play4Free, because I already played BF2 a lot, and I can continue the ownage now.
was about to install team fortress 2 then i realised it takes 11 hours it said to download so f**k installing it
apb reloaded is just lag and i went on it last week and yet i have under 15 fps and i have fast internet and good laptop so basically apb would kick all games ass well some if there was no lag and the games been out for months so f*ck gamersfirst they r shiitholes
1 word 2 discribe APB “SniperShoot Gun” who played the game know what i mean….
Btw that is a hack not a real gun in the game so dont go chacking that up
Firefall beats out all those imo…
Why isnt War inc. Battlezone here
bfh and bf pay for free they bolth are big diffrent
Battlefield play4free is best fps forever
any chance the Blacklight: Retribution open for disabled regions like South Korea???
I want to play this game really really bad!!!!!!!
if u played SuddenAttack its stupid they only make nice versions of M4,AK and TRG .
Playing the Warface beta like a bauss
How come this list doesn’t have Firefall?
no project blackout =[
look to it XD its great game!!!
I agree with most of the list (although i think AVA should be a bit higher up and all) the only thing a completely disagree with is APB being second. first of all – this game has an awful amount of hackers, just about every 2nd game there’s at least 1 hacker (not as bad as combat arms…. and yet)
anyways… if i could’ve rearrange the list i would’ve kept TF2 the best (u can’t argue with that game…) but i would’ve made Blacklight retribution 2nd. it may be new but it’s undoubtedly one of the best f2p games i’ve ever met. Tribes would’ve been the third, not 2nd just because it’s much much harder to master then any other shooter i’ve ever played.
in my opinion BFP4F is 4th , it’s quality and graphics may not qulify for this place, but just because it’s browser based and so much fun (especially with it’s newest patches) it’s worth it. all the rest… well i couldn’t care less LOL
*sry for the long post, this note is just to take up more space XD

combat arms eu its full better dan combat arms combat arms eu have plase nummer 1
blackshot?
10. S4 League -hackers
9. Battlefield Heroes – laggs alot
8. Combat Arms – hackers
7. Alliance of Valiant Arms – always have a big ass update and takes long to download
6. Battlefield Play4Free – maps are way to big cant find anyone plus you die to fast after getting shot.
5. Blacklight: Retribution- pay to win
4. Global Agenda: Free Agent – getts boring when you reach lvl 25. after 25 a bunch of repeatables till lvl 50
3. Tribes Ascend – wtf with all the flying around and the small ass looking characters. its like trying to shot a fly.
2. APB Reloaded – do i have to even say it. HACKERS
1. Team Fortress 2 – only game i have no problem with. maybe thats why its number one
Team Fortress 2 sucks now too
Tribes: Ascend is an amazing game!!! Too bad my computers so slow
some people say the new purchasable weapons are making it pay 2 win, but I hope they aren’t D:
Tribes rate of experience (the free corr currency) is soo slow it almost makes me cry, i mean, u need to play a month before u even unlock all the classes, not even starting to talk about guns. it took me 2 months to unlock a single gun, and then i discovered is sucks. now WTF am i supposed to do?
so it may not be pay 2 win because u can get just about everything if you’re a free player, but it’ll take u years
Battlefield P4free and battlefield heroes=pay to win crap. they din’t make free gear since…they made the game. evry time only cash shop items. and you can only RENT free gear( that sucks anyway).
TF2 i s same as battlefield heroes, except you have to downloud like 10 gb…wtf? wow + all add-ons has less
TF2 is a Steam/Valve game, and has been around a whole heck of a lot longer than BFH, and has had and continues to have one of the largest playerbase of ANY FPS out there. BFH was EA’s attempt to capitalize on the popularity of TF2 while using their own license. The10 gig download is due to the fact its a Source engine game, the same engine which runs Half life 2, Counter-Strike Source and numerous other games including Combat Arms. Its a very large engine which has its own physics and particle systems as well as the large amount of content that comes with such a popular and long running game.
Simply saying Its like BFH is like saying Diablo 2 was just like the multitude of similar games that came out after it. It may be factual but its neither accurate nor sensible. Its not like BFH, BFH tries to be just like TF2.
