If you remove a game please state why you have removed it, if the reason is documented then it is less likely to be re-added and it can be re-submitted if the circumstances change. If you have something to discuss please do so in the appropriate section. If you want to add a game to the list please read the criteria section before doing so, if you are unsure ask. Please avoid lumping multiple games in the same section, rather discuss each game independently in its own section.
someone should add the game Operation 7 to the list. its a great game and i think it should also be on the list, its just like combat arms or crossfire. thx.
Game | Reason for rejection |
---|---|
CrossFire (online PC game) | Free to play, not completely free. |
GunZ: The Duel | Not a first-person shooter. |
TrueCombat: Elite | Not a standalone game. |
War Rock | Free version is crippled. |
The criteria for inclusion in this list needs to be clearly defined. From what I can make out from reading through this talk page the criteria are:
I suggest that the requirement that the game has a wikipedia page is bogus and should be dropped, if you disagree please provide some coherent reasoning for this requirement.
I also suggest that we add the requirement that the game is fully stand alone, ie that you only need to download one binary and not multiple components in order to play the game. If this were a requirement then FreeDoom Would need to be removed as it requires combining the freeDoom wads with one of a number of doom engines.
My proposed requirement list is:
When a game is deleted we can then state that it was deleted as it does not meet one of the defined requirements. Please comment on this proposal below. Htaccess 07:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
this is a list for free first person full version games only
Since this is a First Person Shooter list. There is no need to continually repeat that a game is a first person shooter.
I mean, you take .kkrieger on the list as a full game (it is only 100k). Is the JavaScript version of Wolfenstein 3D (aka Wolfenstein 5K) also a full first-person shooter then?
BTW, Starsiege: Tribes requires a CD-key. Ergo, you have to pay, with time. (to wait for the guys to produce new CD-keys (it says so on the page)) Then a lot of other games is also free, you just have to get an account first. Doesn't make sense.
--80.63.213.182
I would like to ask if a beta of a standalone game would be aloud here
NO betas
I don't quite understand the requirement for game to be "standalone" or a single executable to be listed.
A lot of free games are based on engines that have been made public domain. So while technically you could call these games a "full conversion mod", and while often you will have to download the engine separately from the actual game, I don't see the logic why this should be a hurdle to including them in the list.
After all, if the point of the list is to help people find free, good games, then why exclude full conversion mods, if everything in that mod (including the engine) is freely available?
Developers will often have to rely on previously created engines, upon which they can then base a totally new and unique games. Something that might be impossible if they would have to develop that component as well. --Frescard (talk) 23:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I propose that we do not include server/client based "free to play" games, in which only the client is freely downloadable. "Free to play" isn't the same as Freeware; if you don't have the server software, then you only have half the software. Such models are typically associated with micropayments, anyway. Marasmusine (talk) 10:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Is not included in this list. Americas Army 3 is, however, the games are totally different, different engines etc. 3 is not an upgrade of 2 by any means. However according to the guidelines set above, perhaps it wouldn't be included as maybe its no longer an active project? However i'm not sure that's true, as it might still receive updates. Should we include it?
However Americas Army 2, is a direct improvement on Americas Army 1. 220.233.41.31 (talk) 17:15, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Apophis was recently added to the list, but since it is a newly started project, its website has zero content about the game itself, and since there are no files whatsoever, I feel that it should be deleted from the list, seeing as it is currently nothing more than a gamedesign, thus meaning that currently it is not a "Free first-person shooter". Can anyone clarify the reasons of this game being on the List of free first-person shooters? -Moosedor 17:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Would this qualify? It's in closed beta, with no word of an open beta soon, and it requires payments to get certain things.
I don't really want to see any game on this list that involves real-life money in any way whatsoever (except for developers asking for donations...) Marasmusine (talk) 12:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Battlefield Heroes is not a first-person shooter, so on that grounds it shouldn't be included. However on topic, it does include micropayments for things like costumes. The game is 100% enjoyable and playable without any of these payments and i'd vote that should it be 1st person, it should be included. 220.233.41.31 (talk) 17:18, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
As of late November, the game is not playable on fair grounds without paying, despite EA's insistance that no in-game advantages would be sold for cash. There are super-powered weapons that can only be obtained for the BattleFund currency which in turn is sold for real money. The standard weaponry as well as most items have seen an increase in price more than 50-fold, making it almost impossible to gain enough in-game currency to outfit even one character. This decision has caused an uproar among the players, many of which vent their anger in a thread on the game's forums that has 1500 replies so far. --91.23.218.249 (talk) 16:13, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
It has any right to be in the list, it has FPS elements but uses a 3rd person perspective. It's like calling a duck, a duck then painting it black and calling it a panther...it's still a duck. As to the above paragraph, they aren't super-powered, they don't give a big advantage, just a few more bullets and a higher crit chance. Not to mention their changes have been a success...they still have over 3 million unique accounts registered and the game hasn't gone under due to the amount of supportive players that keep the game afloat.

I've moved it to a seperate section. Can you confirm that this is a 1st-person game? All the gameplay footage I viewed shows it in 3rd person. Marasmusine (talk) 12:08, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
First time suggesting anything here, but would Battlefield's limited demo qualify for this list ? It allows access to one gamemode and two maps, but is unlimited in every other sense.
Would Black Shades qualify for this list? It's free, has a singleplayer 'campaign', and the way I see it, should be added to the list. On the other hand, it feels rather basic and more of a gameplay demonstration/test than anything else.
Can someone prove this is a FPS and not a 3rd person... if not then it has to be gone. Sassan May 22, 2006

While I don't think 3D Gamers should be advertised it's not a "dubious" site by any means and several "big name" publishers in the past have used it's services to release their own files or demos. In other words it's unlikely they'd be giving a pirated version of the game for download. Since the game's listed as freeware I'll give it a quick download will add it to the list if it turns out to be a proper FPS.

It seems fairly notable to be a game centered entirely upon making money - or loosing it. Even though it's in the beta phase, would it still qualify for inclusion ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.182.133 (talk) 23:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Legends looks like a good candidate for inclusion in this list, it uses the Torque Game Engine, and is similar to tribes2, it does however still appear to be a beta, I have not played it yet, can someone who has comment on its maturity.
Enough with all of this... The whole notability thing is ignorant. Question the notability??? DOWNLOAD THE GAME AND SEE IF IT IS FREELY DISTRIBUTED AND A FULL WORKING GAME. EXTREMELY SUBJECTIVE.
Legends is an extremely popular game amongst the Tribes community... It has a large following... you have Tribes included in the list... why not Legends? There are 2 Digg articles about it:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Legends_The_Game
and
http://digg.com/gaming_news/Legends_the_game_--_Amazing,_free_multiplayer_Tribes-like_FPS
The game is not in beta or alpha... it's been a full release for a while now.
Get over the ignorant issues and open your eyes to the true situation at hand. This is a free game that has been out for a while and you are keeping the public from knowing about it, just because there isn't a wikipedia article about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.86.191 (talk) 23:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I really do love how diehard wikipedia users are about keeping to standards.... it helps make sure things go smoothly... and maintains the accuracy of articles. However, this is one case that the guidelines should be ignored due to the reasons mentioned above. It seems that in the "diehardness" that wikipedia users have lost themselves in, they have also lost their dictionaries. They obviously do not understand that guidelines aren't set in stone, by definition. They are loosely followed directions that, by definition, are not required to be adhered to exactly. Give it up and allow Legends to go in without an article about it. This is now merely the principle of going against the guidelines. Bottom line if they are not GUIDELINES, then change the name of the NOTABILITY REQUIREMENTS to RULES.
Besides all that, here is a direct quote from the NOTABILITY guidelines page: "Notability guidelines do not directly limit article content - Notability guidelines give guidance on whether a topic is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia as a separate article, but do not specifically regulate the content of articles (with the exception of lists of people [11]). The particular topics and facts within an article are not each required to meet the standards of the notability guidelines; instead, article content is governed by other policies and guidelines, such as the policy requiring Verifiability and the guidelines covering the use of reliable sources and of trivia sections." It even states that article content is governed by other policies and guidelines.... such as the verifiability policy... which doesn't seem like it applies to a list... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.86.191 (talk) 20:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
It has said "We will consider the game to be beta until it is done. " on the "About Legends" page since day one... when it really was in the alpha/beta... IT IS NO LONGER IN BETA... Look at the build number and you can see that they no longer put "beta" or "alpha" next to it, because it has gone past those stages... It's been a full release for a while now.
I personally do not think having a Wikipedia article is a good criteria... It makes no sense. The game exists... list it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.197.64.30 (talk) 00:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Just a note, I see the Legends has over 1600 forum members and Nexuiz has only over 1400 members. So witch game is more notable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.226.74.105 (talk) 02:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I did, this is still a list of personal favorite FPS. 96.226.74.105 (talk) 01:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
AND once again... the notability guidelines are guidelines... not rules... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ONLY DEFINE CRITERIA FOR ARTICLE SUBJECTS... NOT ARTICLE CONTENT. Better read it again. ONCE AGAIN. THE NOTABILITY GUIDELINES ONLY APPLY TO ARTICLE SUBJECTS... NOT CONTENT.
In regards to the question you posed about the problem with having notability as criteria for inclusion... I feel that this game is worthy of being listed. The list exists to define a set of free FPS. Legends is a high quality free FPS. Not only that, but going by the book, as stated above, the notability guidelines don't apply to article content (except when the content includes lists of people). In reality, the verifiability policy would govern it... but that policy requirement is already fulfilled due to "Diggs" two different articles. Outcomer (talk) 09:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

can the game warrock be added to this list?
Someone should remove the "and is very fun to play" part. That's not a neutral point of view. It's an opinion.
Warrock fits the requirements of this page. It is free, and will remain free (Although a commercial version will come out, so it will be somewhat like Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory). I admit it is still being developed, but other games on this list are also in development (America's Army, for example, is still releasing new versions of itself). I would like to see Warrock back on there.
Ah, and on a side note, I'm not sure that the screenshots are appropriate for this. They seem more like advertisements, and the actual games look little or nothing like how their screenshot makes them look.
What is the final verdict on this issue? It seems as if War Rock does not fully meet the in-development criteria [No alpha/betas], and is listed as a rejected game on this talk page. 82.111.138.148 (talk) 12:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I had hoped to be able to tell which if any of these games are opensource. In todays world of trojans and spyware, having source available is a prerec for installing software.. so could we add license info to the list? maybe OSI approved, Closed but free to play, Closed but free for non-comercial, etc etc?
These games definitely need to state their license for us to check whether the are free (as a free speech) or freeware. For example America's Army (according to [3]) is freeware). CodeRED: Alien Arena requires reqistration, so likely to be freeware. Control Monger's website does not show license and download section does not contain sources -> sure freeware. --Alvin-cs ✉ 23:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I think we need to make it clear which games are singleplayer or multiplayer. "War Rock" was the game that bothered me the most, because even on its own page it didn't state this. I dont know enough about the field to fill in these gaps myself -- all I know is that I dont like multiplayer shooters so dont want to bother downloading them. Robinoke 17:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Most of these games are multiplayer only. If they all are, it might suffice to put a comment saying that in the introduction. If some have a single-player campaign or support playing against AI bots, that should be mentioned.
Several games mentioned do have single player mode (Cube, Sauerbraten, AssaultCube, Nexuiz, Hidden & Dangerous, Dinohunters, Kuma/War, OpenArena, ShootOut, Starsiege: Tribes, War§ow and X Operations, as far as I could learn from the respective articles). Could someone with more edditing experience than myself enter an additional column for that in the table? I think that is interesting information to have.

Games that are fully licensed under the GNU GPL such as OpenArena are considered free software rather than freeware. Freeware implies that the software is gratis, but not open source.

Why isn't "TrueCombat: Elite" [4] included on this list? --Merrick79 18:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
AssaultCube is a mod of Cube!! But must be someone editing this page likes it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.226.74.105 (talk) 01:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Here is a quote off the cube web site "AssaultCube is probably the best Cube "mod" ever created. It comes with all new content and is playable as a standalone game. The gameplay provides a more "realistic" gameplay experience than Cube, featuring more modern weaponry and environments. Many gameplay modes are provided including CTF." See the word mod, the best Cube "mod"!!
Its more of a battle trying to get something in Wikipedia and out of Wikipedia. Sorry you see it as complaining, I only say it as a observation. 96.226.74.105 (talk) 01:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
someone please add this, I'm not familiar with wiki http://www.battlefield-heroes.com/ 99.191.74.209 (talk) 08:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
"What is the consensus about adding games to this list that offer optional micropayments for additional game content?" You guys may list 'Battlefield heroes' if you wish, but I looked over their site and decided against adding it to mine. I, personally, am against listing sites that derive operating revenue streams from exchanging ca$h for digital intangibles, or greater in game privileges. Such games can become unfair to non-paying players in small increments. I feel they should advertise their "imaginary" wares on their own advertising dollars (derived from said intangibles). So, when I'm manually 'crawling' sites like Wikipedia (this page!) or http://freeshooters.blogspot.com/ (a NICE List!) for free FPS games: I no longer add such games to my freeware listing web site. I prefer to just list the few open source or free games that really ARE fun AND totally free. There are no ads on my sites. I'm strictly a hobbyist and non-commercial – I've got nothing to sell – and I maintain my list for my OWN purposes (I don't care if anyone else finds it useful or not). I understand that ads are a necessary evil – the 'lifeblood' of the internet. I'm going to drag my feet about getting them for my sites for as long as is possible. This list is (of course) one of the most complete resources of it's type. I'll chip in when ever I find something interesting to contribute. I just like helping.

I jumped in and added download links. I gave preference to the download page on the official site, and turned to file hosting providers if I couldn't find one quickly. Also, I really do think a link to a download page is more useful than one to the file itself, since that is less likely to break/become outdated. Many webmasters seem to discourage direct links to files. This also preferable in the case of the cross platform games, for obvious reasons. Someone can add download sizes, if they're necessary. vlad§inger tlk 04:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
This game is listed as available for osx and linux, though this is not true. It's Windows only, according to both the website and its wiki. With all the things I research, I'm surprised that the first time Wikipedia ever disappointed me with misinformation, it was about a video game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.4.136.41 (talk) 01:51, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
This game is GONE and should be removed immediately! Warmonger - Operation: Downtown Destruction at http://www.warmongergame.com/ - this Domain is for Sale. And the previous comment is also correct: it WAS Windows XP or Vista Only! Carl McCall (talk) 15:01, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but since Half Life 2: Deathmatch is available for free (albeit only through Steam) it seems as if it should be added to the list.--81.141.239.225 (talk) 16:12, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Seems unnecessary, since the links are in the articles, and we are not a directory. Thoughts? Marasmusine (talk) 16:13, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Just had a wander through the article and did a little cleanup:

Can someone add the rest of the games mentioned at http://www.mmobomb.com/games/mmofps (2 pages). Also, perhaps we need to rename the page to "List of freeware first and third-person shooters"; this as many battlefield-type games allow switching between 1 and 3 person views and/or automatically switch when entering a vehicle. 109.130.240.129 (talk) 15:28, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
