Wolf Team – one of the most polished free to play MMOFPS games in the market today. In Wolf Team players start off a match as a human soldier but can transform into a werewolf at any time.

Players can also transform back into a human whenever they want. This is one shooter MMO that has very unique and fun gameplay.
Alliance of Valiant Arms – a the lightning fast modern warfare MMOFPS built on the Unreal Engine 3, AVA has stunning realistically detailed characters and environments. It has lots of different single-player, cooperative and competitive game modes such as Annihilation, Escape, Escort, etc. This game is hot right now because it is one of the very few free-to-play realistic MMO shooter games.
DDTank – a browser-based 2D MMO with gameplay similar to Worms and Gunbound. Basically, players need to hit their enemies by correctly choosing the angle and strength of their shots.
