Online Shooter RPG's

With Rainbow six Lockdown having an online RPG's element in it, I was wondering... What else could be done?

Could this be the start of a new bread of online RPG?

I know some games have experimented with this Idea, but not too many have brought it online.

What do you guys think?

Its an interesting concept. I hope they go in the right direction with the genre.

After getting the game I though about it....

I live in the uk. People in USA had the game about 1 day before me... In that time some people had reached lvl 23, out of 35 lvls.

Although there is a serious advantage to be gainned by being a higher lvl, low lvls can still kill higher lvls, (though head shots, or shooting them loads)

I'm not sure what to make of it yet... With games like halo 2 turnning people evil in the atemped to get higher ranks, (by evil I mean cheating/cheap play) what would having a lvl system do for a game?!

its basically a FPS mmo

and no its not a new idea to have rpg elements in a first person..
Deus Ex was one of the first to bring that aspect into the genre

I know its not new to the genre... What I ment to say was It was new to the online genre of it...

Though I have seen games like counter strike have some RPG elements...

ah yes there is a first person shooter coming out for Xbox 360 which is mmorpg, huxley or something like that. I only glazed over it

yeah huxley looks good

how does it work?

Similar to deus ex???
