MMORPG Shooters

None

There are 0 good ones atm. They seem to have good concepts and then just ruin themselves. I'm just hoping in two years firefall will be worth playing =(

Warframe maybe?

If you have a console try Destiny. Other than that there really aren't any really good MMORPG shooters.

The biggest/best known would be Planetside 2. Also has one of the better F2P models. It isnt instanced at all, power does not increase much over play just more options in the form of a new ability, different weapon, or passives (like adding an ejector seat to vehicles you drive). 4 large continents, 3 factions, 9 vehicles (including various sizes of aircraft), 6 classes you can jump between at any time. Although there is no drops, only drops might find is related to implants which just do stuff like reduce fall damage or show health bar of enemy.

It is the sort of game can hop in, get right to the action, and participate as long as want. I suppose it is not suited to be a MMO home, since there is nothing to it but the constant war and unlocking stuff, but it is well suited for hopping in whenever feel like it without a worry of falling behind in gear and being crushed due to it. You will be crushed due to lack of practice instead. Personally it and Metroid Prime might be the only FPS I like, admittedly my experience is limited.

There are/were a few others, like Global Agenda, but PS2 is by far the most successful current one. Possibly dethroned by Destiny (cannot personally say).

Here is my referal link if feel like trying it:

Personally I have not spent any money on it and do not feel like missing on anything since the starting weapons are actually considered some of the better ones can use. I focused on playing Engineer, repairing vehicles, repairing battle mech players, putting down ammo packs, and shooting down airships and tanks with my rocket turret.

oh FPS... I thought your meant shmups (though there's only 1-2 of that type and they didn't exactly last long)

I thought Hellgate: London was quite nice. Does that count as an MMO?

Not many, Borderlands isn't an MMO but close enough, Destiny looks neat but its for consoles....

Fallen earth

The Division will be released in 2015

H1Z1 I have heard is supposed to be good? Dust I also haven't played but might be worth checking out.

I do like Defiance and Warframe. I haven't played enough to really get to the grind yet though.

How many are there actually?

There's

Defiance

Firefall

Warframe

Best one I can think of is Planetside 1 lol but that isn't what you are looking for? EDIT: Yeah changed the list to reflect what the OP is looking for.
