    cross fire from Suba games. decent counter strike clone with points and ranking.
    has a few people using hacks but so does combat arms. I like it cause its free and isn't really a very graphically demanding game.

    never tried Americas army, dont know if my lappy would run it (integrated graphics).

    Battlefield Heroes. It's a free third-person shooter from DICE, the guys behind the well known Battlefield series (1942, Vietnam, BF2, 2142, Bad Company).

    There's travian. The interface is ultra-simple, but the level of strategy required is crazy. WARNING: be prepared to feel the urge to check your account in the middle of the night because this game runs 24/7!

    I'll check how many servers there are right now :D. I added you on Combat arms Avanish!


    Combat Arms is divided into 3 types of servers:

    Rank(Depends on your game experience) 6 Subservers: Recruit, Grunt, Sergeant, Officer, and Elite.

    Regular(Any player): Alpha(6 Servers), Beta(6 Servers), Blackmarket(only for players who pay real $$$ for Nexon points)

    Clan(only for people in clans): Not sure how many servers.

    Lets have more NBR members join Combat Arms... I'll create an NBR clan@ :D

    Give Mount and Blade a go, its a free download (880megs). Basically a Medieval combat simulator, bloody awesome fun, and very addictive! Im not the biggest fan of old school RPG stuff, but this one is great.

    You basically download the full game and can play it up to Level 7. Then to go any further you have to buy a key, which is about $30US off the top of my head. Its worth it just to play the trial, I can't get enough of the quick battles!

    One of my favorite free games is Gunbound. It's sort of a turn based strategy shooter. You play online with a certain vehicle and adjust your angle and shot power to try to destroy your opponents. Once you get get beyond all of the people constantly calling you a newbie it can be quite fun. There is some paid element; you can buy coins to purchase items to upgrade your avatar. Otherwise, you can just buy most of the stuff using the gold you accrue through playing the game.

    Gunbound is cool. I was into it but got kinda bored after a year or 2. I am now searching for nice MMORPG games. *free ofcourse*
    I used to play Shaiya, 12sky, 9dragons, and 2moons (dekaron) any suggestions of games like these? I saw the upcoming Aion with realli cool graphics but the bad thing is that its a P2P game.. sigh..
