Massively multiplayer online first-person shooter ('''MMOFPS''') is a category of Computer Game s that combines First-person Shooter gameplay with a large number of simultaneous players over the Internet . It is a category of Massively Multiplayer Online Game s. ABOUT Unlike a traditional online or multiplayer FPS, a MMOFPS can use interconnected zones or areas to create a larger world in which thousands of players can interact. Example MMOFPS games include '' World War II Online '' ( 2001 ), '' PlanetSide '' ( 2003 ), and '' Huxley '' ( 2006 ). Due to the technical issues introduced with large numbers of simultaneous players, few MMOFPS games have been developed. MMOFPS games tend to require more powerful computers than MMORPG s to meet the demands of faster gameplay. MMOFPS developers also have to be more concerned about Lag since reaction times must be swift and MMOG servers tend to be in a centralized location (which might not be convenient for players a long distance from there). As with many massively multiplayer games, most MMOFPS games charge a monthly fee to play. This pays for the maintenance costs for the servers and bandwidth as well as a "live" development team to update the game and fix Bugs as needed.
