Repulse is Aeria Games’ latest MMOFPS, and with previous successes such as Wolf Team and Alliance of Valiant Arms, it’s hardly surprising to see them once again tempting the FPS market. Repulse brings you into a futuristic, dystopian style world, where you embody a soldier fighting for mankind’s survival. The story isn’t very present however, and the focus is mostly on the good ol’ twitch shooting, zombie invasions (with added bonus of alien zombie), and the awesome looking customization. It’s worth noting that you can even customize your gear, with such good things as scopes and heat lasers. You get to pick one of three following classes;
Assault: This class wields assault rifles, shotguns, and generally has higher defense ratings. Its unique ability is the capacity to make sudden giant leaps forward.
Sniper: The sniper uses long range rifles, machine pistols, and tends to be a balanced between mobility and armor. It has the ability to use cloaking devices to hide from the enemy.
Engineer: The engineer uses mainly submachine guns, pistols and repairing guns. It’s by far the most mobile but least damaging class. Its ability, fittingly, is to make sudden hopping dodges in any direction of the player’s choice.

9. Tribes Ascend
Even with its relatively minor flaws, anyone with even a cursory interest in Tribes: Ascend should play it. No other shooter conveys the same sense of speed – or the rush of pleasure that comes from nailing someone at over 100 KPH – as Tribes. With no barrier to entry outside of the time it takes to download and give it a try, there’s pretty much no good reason to not check out Tribes.

8. Army Rage
The game achieves an impressive team work as the players have the opportunity to choose one of the two rival sides – Allies and Axis, team up in 6 separate teams of 4 people each and set their class – Assault (equips powerful grenades and assault rifles), Scout (skilled sniper), Support (equips anti-tank rifles and flamethrowers, uses machine guns and drops medical kits to revive other players) and Engineer (uses sub-machine guns and rocket launchers, has the unique ability to build stationery heavy machine guns). There could be up to 24 players competing with each other or united in teams in one room. The players can create as many rooms as they like with different maps, missions and game modes in order to achieve a more dynamic game play.

7. A.V.A.
Alliance of Valiant Arms is one of those rare F2P MMO gems that has both top-notch graphics and extremely in-depth and varied gameplay. A.V.A can easily hold its own against pay-to-play FPS games like Counter-Strike Source and even Call of Duty 4, both in graphics and gameplay. Those who played other tactical MMOFPS games like Combat Arms, Blackshot or even WolfTeam should be able to quickly familiarize themselves with AVA, as most MMOFPS games tend to be very similar. Alliance of Valiant Arms runs the Unreal 3 engine, so expect great graphics. Perhaps the most notable aspect of AVA is its numerous game modes. They are:
Annihilation - Annihilation mode is basically team deathmatch. The European Union (EU) and New Russia Federation (NRF) duke it out across one of the game’s many levels. Whichever team reaches either 80 or 180 points first wins.
Demolition - Demolition mode is essentially the same ‘plant the bomb’ game mode popularized by Counter-Strike. The EU team must plant a C4 bomb in one of two bomb sites while the NRF must defuse it.
Escort - The EU team must ‘escort’ a tank that slowly moves through the map while the NRF have to use Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs) to destroy it. If the tank reaches the end of the map before time runs out the EU team wins, otherwise the NRF wins. This is one of the more popular and unique game modes in Alliance of Valiant Arms.
Free for All – As the name implies, players are by themselves and must kill anyone they see. Whichever player has the most kills at the end of the round wins.
Domination - Basically king of the hill. Opposing teams must capture and hold the command post located in the center of the map for a period of time to win.
Survival - Exactly like Suppression mode, but with one one life per player.
Convoy – The EU team must find and capture a ‘nuclear suitcase’ that is guarded by the NRF on one map before time runs out. Eliminating the opposing team is another way to win a round in Convoy mode.
