ARCTIC COMBAT is an upcoming free-to-play, modern military MMOFPS by WEBZEN. Today the developer announced the release of not only a new teaser site, but also a new trailer.
Arctic Combat fans were disappointed when it was recently announced that the game was closing down for good on September 2, less than a year from its release.
MMO-Play has gathered the main reasons why the game has failed so soon.
MMO Culture: Apologies for the rather late news, as Webzen announced Arctic Combat’s closure late last month. This follows the closure of SUN Online, citing lack of players. While no official reason was given for Arctic Combat, it is most probably due to the same reason as well.
The MMOFPS genre is certainly thinner than its RPG sibling, partly because FPS games are normally the multiplayer accompaniment of a single player campaign. There is certainly a lack of persistent world in these multiplayer modes, unlike Planetside 2 for instance, where there are huge areas up for contention in endless battles. Arctic Combat falls in-between the two, offering more than what the likes of COD or BF3 offers, but the lack of persistence as seen in Planetside 2.
Wow i seriously thought i was looking at a CoD Map Pack.
The enviroments look exacly the same
EDIT: Its a free to play MMO FPS. For a free game, it looks decent. though still alot like CoD
My goodness, I've seen a lot of CoD clones in this industry. This is by far the closest. Hey, now everyone who was complaining about CoD can now relax because you don't have to pay 60bucks for the game anymore, because this is free to play.
This isn't COD?
Oh my..
