CrimeCraft
www.crimecraft.com
This is an MMOFPS currently in open beta. You can download and play it now. Just go to the website.
It's kind of interesting. I'd say it's 90% FPS and 10% MMO. After loosely customizing your character, you start in a small mid-townesq area. The graphics aren't that bad. The first thing you'll notice is that you can't shoot anything. You'll get quests that let you talk to different people, but soon the tutorial will give you a quest to kill someone in an instance. This turns out to be pretty simple. You click "u", choose the map, load in and start killing things.
In this way it is very much like an FPS. The starting area is even called the "lobby". So you run around the lobby upgrading skills, crafting weapons or ammo, or receiving quests, then you choose a server and either kill bots or other players. I haven't done a PvP map yet, but that'll probably be the next thing I do.
Each level you get an SP point. After a certain number of them, you can buy a sniper rifle skill, rocket launcher skill, etc. etc. So leveling is mostly getting better weapons, better armor, upgrades, or health stuff.
The game is a pretty decent FPS. You spawn in and start killing things. You get points for everything you kill and more points for headshots, double kills, etc. If you die, you lose 5 points and respawn in about 5 seconds. At the end, points are converted to xp and cash. There are also cases you can find that will give you crafting mats.
A lot of the job/missions will work like achievements. For instance, "Kill 5 enemies carrying SMGs with a pistol" or "Kill 5 players carrying a pistol with an SMG". I accepted a lot of these at once. So far the game has kept my attention, but I've only played it an hour or two. So far it seems like an FPS with a virtual lobby and economy. Hopefully some more of you will log on and we can take a look at the Gang aspect (guilds).
By the way, CrimeCraft is a play on words for "World of Warcraft", as well as a tie-in to the crafting side of what would otherwise be an FPS game.

I've played some PvP now, and I must say it's a lot of fun. They have different game modes like capture the flag, etc. I'm also a tailor, and trying to build that up. This game kinda has potential...the instanced FPS fights satisfied the competitive, shoot everything side, and then the crafting satisfies the "learn everything about the game" side. Not much room for RP, but in terms of a temporary game to keep us occupied for a bit, I think we could do worse. I recommend checking it out. My in-game name is Tb0ne. I need at least two of you to try it out so we can make our Gang!

Downloading the Beta Client now, boss!
-
Log on TS as well. Ana and Jeyk are also playing. We're trying to get enough cash to start the faction.
-
Downloading now. 3.2gb and I'm only pulling 116k/sec. :(
-
We were able to form the guild with me, Jeyk, Ana, Yotogi, and Lith. Fun times.
-
Addicting, to say the least.
-
The fuck? 17 hours of download time and I get an empty goddamn zip folder?
Am I missing something here?
EDIT: Tried re-downloading and I get a "Forbidden" error when I try to select a public download server. Could we maybe host the beta client on our server?
-
I would set up a torrent, but I'm overnight at a hotel again for work. I won't be back until tomorrow night. Maybe I can set up something then if the files didn't auto-extract...
-
That would be awesome T... my download keeps freezing at 3%. I'll reload it and try again only to have the same result.
They say insanity is the repetition of the same actions expecting different results.
-
Already signed up... i'm fed up with file planet and their shit downloads so i'll wait for a torrent to go up to download.
-
Fileplanet blows, with there downloader and shit. Wouldn't even work on Windows 7. So I had to download it on my laptop and send it over my network to the desktop.

-
at least the game is being offered for what it's worth.
Heh.
-
I had fun playing the game, but I knew it was never worth the $15 they wanted.
I like TF2 more, anyway.
-
So it will be free to download as well? I just liked that it combined the FPS with the progression of leveling and crafting.
-
Ive started playing htis today i think you are all right its very addictive, there are new features added to the game such as buying and owning your own club maybe this is a good way for the furious angels to spread their wings dont you think :) More guns ... Lots of guns :D
See you in, Tbone if you could make a poll to see what people think that would be great i know we are struggling really to find a game apart from darkfall that we can expand in and out of whilst playing the main game.
Cheers

So I just picked this game up again after experimenting with it a bit in Open Beta, and it's still just as much fun as I remember. Mindless shooting fun with a bit of MMO progression.
Oh yeah, it's free as well. Anyone else up for picking it up again? I KNOW you have nothing better to do!
