| FP Division and others who are involved with FP division:
As many of you know, Battlefield: Play 4 Free (P4F) is dying. The game will not last forever and many of us agree that it's been on its current track for awhile now. The FP Division needs to expand or move to a whole new game(s).
What we need to decide is which game(s) the FP Division will expand or move to. There are a number of choices; we need to pick the game(s) that we will play the most, be able to recruit from the most, and probably will be around the longest.
These are some (feel free to give your own ideas or suggest other games) of the games: (There are many "war" games)
War Thunder (which also will have an "Army" and a "Fleet" component attached to it just like the "World of War--" series)
World of Tanks (little antiquated) World of Warplanes World of Warships
WarFrame
I can't think of the other upcoming free games. I'm sure there are more and like I said suggest any free game you want. Preferably an FPS but we may consider other genres.
I'll soon come up with a poll when we come up with a few good choices.
Thanks Bronx |

| Well War Thunder and the others are all good games but they're not FPSs as most people are used to, I'm just thinking that if the P4F Division does go into any of those games then it'll be a different experience since we generally do FPS.
WarFrame is a game I haven't played, but I know many people do and if we're going to move on from P4F then I think this would be a good one to move on to, though I will not play it. So if it comes to this, I will probably move to BF4 when the time comes.
If anyone can think up of other F2P titles then by all means put them up here for discussion, but you know where I'm going if we're moving away from BFP4F.
What about everyone else though? |

| I'll join War Thunder. However, like Ninja, I'm going to join when Battlefield 4 is released. Though, will the command of a different title/franchise take under the Fleet Marine Force?
There could be Planetside II and Warface. If anything, I would also contribute to Battlefield: Project Reality.

| currently playing Warframe alot its a very good game thats not at all Pay to Win you can get 100% ingame through farming and doing events
although im already in a clan for it right now as some other members of the 13th i would advise that if the 13th would do it we adopt the clan as you need to build a clan dojo and that takes alot of time to do and a lot of resources its not worth it to do it all over again

| Well I guess there's a route into Warframe but that involves adopting another clan.
Also, we tried getting a squad up for PS2 and it went for some time but i just don't think people had the motive to play it, though I know people enjoyed it.
PR:BF2 is not F2P, even if it is virtually a free game (with such a low price). We probably wouldn't get enough players anyway because although people play it and enjoy it, they probably wouldn't play it enough to be competitive. |

| Does War-frame have a clan vs clan option?
...War-frame is a great game but I'm not sure if it has that competitive factor, but then again I haven't played it a lot. Also if EA were to make BFP4F better (probably not) is their a possibility of switching to that because as bad as the game may be I still love being with you guys and playing that game with you guys. Also I'm not sure if I would exactly enjoy straying away from a FPS and playing a different game like war-frame.
If we do switch to a different game will we still have NA and EU squads or would we just become one squad? |

| Are any of the Counterstrike games F2P? I'm not that familiar with PC gaming unfortunately. What about any games that use the Arma "engine"? Just trying to help out, sorry if I didn't. |

From Counterstrike, not that I'm familiar with. However, Arma II does have a free version, but it's not great for multiplayer. Good try though. [EDIT:] Out of curiosity, how about Planetside II for the PS4? It will be free, but will you incorporate it into the division? It didn't work out on PC, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work on the PS4... |

| So far the only options that would attract most of the F2P guys that I can think of right now is warface. I like World of Warships, but I doubt many of yall enjoy that type of game. |

It didn't work out on PC, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work on the PS4... I believe we were recruiting for PS2 several months back, I believe that was what the Deathdealers were being moved into. I don't think it did very well, but Bronx kept better track of that than I did. Warframe is a great F2P game, seen several Youtube videos on it. That might be our best option but there has to be more F2P FPS games out there. Does anyone know where to look? [EDIT] Was searching Google and found a top 10 F2P FPS games. Here's a couple that might spark some interest: - Offensive Combat: Looks kind of like Halo and Team Fortress 2 combined. - Gotham City Imposters: I think this was mentioned before as a possible replacement for BFP4F. - Blacklight Retribution: More of a futuristic FPS, seems kind of like a visual cross between Borderlands 2 and Warframe. - Tribes Ascend: Futuristic FPS, looks a lot like Unreal Tournament

| Yes there are plenty/ But the vast majority of them are like p4f. Low player base and very pay-to-win. So far the only FPS's I see that would be good for us are Warface. Warframe is one of the best (if not THE best) free-to-play game out there atm. But as said if we are looking for a first-person shooter only then warface would be my choice. |

| Blacklight and Tribes Ascend require good graphics so that's out of the question for games to switch to.
Not sure about the other two though. |

| Yeah that doesn't make them out of the question. I don't know much about warframe or if it has a strong community behind it. We may get into Warface (that was the other "war' game I was thinking of lol) but it's still in closed beta. Blacklight retribution possibly--we may get back into it (we never had a unit for it but were thinking of it). The community looks strong judging by their forum stats http://blacklight-forum.perfectworld.com/index.php -- About 1 million posts on their forums, which is pretty good and yeah we may want to get into this. Only 8v8 I think (also creators of Star Trek Online if we want to get into that game maybe, though MMORPG) Tribes Ascend, famous game, might want to get into that too--has an e-sports community behind it as well Planetside 2--might get back into this as I can run this game now. Strong strong community behind it plus it will be on Playstation 4. But these high-performance PC-required games above...if we were to have them we wouldn't completely forget about everyone else but our main focus should be people (or rather games) that have or require good PCs. BFH and P4F were both good f2p low requirement games we were able to get into--but they followed the natural progression of the Battlefield series, which all around is popular. We have yet to get into a non-BF game where we were able to be established for awhile. A perfect scenario would be of course to have every division booming with activity and have its own game it plays and not like 4 different games. Something like having a Planetside Division as well as maybe a "War" Division where we put all those war games in. And ARMA III we will probably create a division for, ofc it won't be in this one. Yes these will most likely be under the new clan title: Fleet Marine Force |

| Yeah your right they are not out of the question and we could have squads for Black light, Tribes, etc. as they do have a big community. I just hope that their will be an option of a game for people that cant run high end F2P games. I'm looking forward to this because p4f is dying to be honest. Just concerned and worried about how this will affect us positively or negatively in the future. |

| Warface would be my top choice next to warframe war, war , war... Warframe has a fanbase and active people in teamspeak every day, also the game is developing a PVP(!?) It will become competitive though its not a FPS, i could see the game integrated in to our Clan. Warface has a really nice engine(they will/could update and polish with the years) and the gameplay is not that bad either, i believe its prolly NOT gonna become Pay 2 win, the G-face thingy takes some time getting used 2 but its the most promising F2P FPS for our F2p division. World of warplanes is very interesting and should be keept an eye on aswell. i am sure there are manny other games but we should Focus on the higher quality titles i know thats very arguable, because BFp4f is a Piece of SH... sometimes it still has higher quality then some of the F2p shooters i have seen(Warrock, wolfteam and such ) I think quality,longevity, popularity,maintenance and affordability should matter to us when picking out 1 or more titles for the clans f2p division Though im sure there are still manny Ideas of good f2p games that i yet need to play :Dbring forth the games |

| Yes it is developing more PvP although it's main focus will be Coop/PvE and I prefer it that way tbh. Hopefully most of you can run it decently. |
