MMORPGs vs. FPS

ITT: Comparing apples and dogs.

Also, I've said this before, but don't you think an AR PEE GEE forum might be biased? Just a bit?

I think you mean Apples and Oranges, apples to dogs would be like games to movies.

I just think this a really dumb comparison. The only things these 2 have in common is that they are both video games and FPS can be online. They are completely different genres.

Also, tell your friend that Gunz is usually classified as a MMORPG because of the RPG elements to it like levels. Also, Gunz's community sucks. It's full of "total elitist FPS douches".

MMO skill requirements:
-No friends in the real world.

I guess I suck at those then. I have friends in the real world, but I can't seem to make any online friends.

Not really, since, like, 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the posts aren't for the RPG making, lol.

This thread is dumb. It's stupid to debate two completely different genres.

Both MMORPG and FPS games take skill, and the only way to get that is to play a lot.  You don't start out being really good.

Even if you're good in certain aspects, there's always something unique in the game the veterans have mastered that you don't know.

Anyone can get good at any game.  My friend Matt for example, whenever he starts a game he's always to worst of the worst (No exceptions).  However in Ragnarok and Gunbound, we got Matt to be extremely good.  So good in fact, in Ragnarok using a tank build, with full tank equip (Essentially, he did very little damage), he could take out entire guilds of people higher level and better geared than him on his own

Both take skill, it's just a different kind.  You need more than just patience in an MMORPG.  You need more than fast reactions in a first person shooter.  Hell, I've got dirt slow reactions and I'm still one of the better players (Top 10%) in almost every MMOFPS I've played.

Apperantly, anything that involves a gun is now a MMOFPS.

Wow that's a bunch of failure.  GunZ and Gunbound aren't MMOFPS (Other games in there that shouldn't be as well)

BlackShot, Combat Arms, Sudden Attack, Operation 7, Cross Fire, Counter Strike online (New asian MMOFPS, not joking), and Soldier Front (The one I play the most of these)

Those are all MMOFPS games.

Don't forget about the MMOJBFPBPSATG.

Massive Multiplayer Online Java-Based First-Person Box-Pusher Simulation And Tetherball Game.

These categories are stupid.

MMO skill requirements:
-No friends in the real world.
-The willingness to lose a large chunk of your otherwise uneventful life.
-Linguistic amnesia, devolving into speaking in gibberish.
-A sock to shit into.
