Operation 7

Operation 7 is my favorite so far and it really stands out. Most of the free MMOFPS are called "Counter Strike" clones, but Operation 7 is closer to Call of Duty really. It has aiming down the sights with all weapons, you can lean left and right, and the sniper scopes have sway and the ability to hold your breath. You can also attach night scopes, and some of the maps have both a day version and a night version. One of the things that really stands out is that, once you buy a gun, you own it. You have 5 weapon slots, although more can be purchased. You can also customize - or, more accurately, build - your weapon. Different things give different stat changes. For instance, longer barrels are more accurate while shorter ones offer more recoil. Guns themselves don't have damage stats - you have to rent the bullets, which you can do for as little as 3 days but because of both the price and how much you'll save, you might as well just rent them for 90 days. They don't cost much. Each round has its own damage. One gametype that, as far as I know, is unique, is headhunting. One person on each team is the general. The game is pretty much team deathmatch except the round is won when you kill the opposing general. Of course, to make it so the generals can't hide TOO well, every once and a while their position is shown on the radar briefly. It's not particularly popular but you can generally find rooms during the day. You have to be certain levels to use certain weapons, but if you buy it with nCash, it removes the level requirement. Also, the footsteps of your enemies and indeed, sound in general, takes a higher role of importance in this game supposedly. Other than that, it seems like a pretty typical MMOFPS in that it's horribly translated, the voice sucks, the interface isn't quite as good as it could be. The graphics are pretty good as compared to many of the others. Definitely worth checking out if you're tired of renting guns.
