Planetside 2 you don't need steam. But it is available in steam too. same with Blacklight:Retribution

Blacklight: Retribution on Steam

If you don't need steam, download from game web site.

Warframe and Blacklight: Retribution are in my "to try" list. I think warframe is more popular. I have PlanetSide 2 installed, don't play much, last day i was reading how to on reddit, that had a link to youtube tutorial, i did not watch as i was downloading BF4.

It will be nice if some can try the two games and post a review.

blacklight retribution is great , but only few people play this game ( 100-200) , though its f2p , this game encourage you to actually pay if you want to have advantage over enemy . Map size is small ( similar to COD map) but still gameplay is fun . I will also suggest planetside because of large scale battle + large number of active players .

thanks,Im looking for some ''fast straight to shoot to kill'' type of game:D.GRO is great but the movements seems sluggish and pings are like 300-350.I have heard good things about planetside but the gameplay involves mostly teamwork right?If youre playing what pings do you get?

I played all of the games mentioned above.So here are my opinions.
Planetside2:This game used to have serious optimization issues,but seems like they sorted it out recently.The pings are fine if you play in Europe servers.The game is great,but you wont have much fun if you are not playing with friends or a clan.Even though the game is F2P,you will have fun only if you play,as it take too much time to purcahse weapons with ingame currency

BLR:It is a Pay2Win game,i loved this game in the beginning but after sometime it felt like all the guns looks alike and feels the same.The good thing is ,this game got the best customization ever.If this is not a Pay2Win,i would recommend this.I feel like this game is gonna shutdown soon,because for a such a huge game,there needs to be a massive playerbase.But not even 1K people are playing this on steam at any time.

APB Reloaded:This is a Pay2Win too,but the game is lot of fun if you have friends to play with.This is a open world game like GTA.Nothing much to say about this game,try it out yourself or watch some videos.

Warframe:The game is awesome.Remember that this is not PVP,it is PVE.Make sure to watch some videos about the Mods and all before messing with them ingame.I am sure you wont understand how to use them wiithout watching videos.

And finally
Ghost Recon Online (I know that you are palying this but still.....): I palyed this game for around 8 months,started playing this when the game is in closed beta phase 1.I have over 1000 hrs of gameplay in this game.It used to be so much fun to play untill the game went Open Beta.This game have the worst developers ever,till now they did not implement any patch without making the game worse.They increased the cost of weapons for no reason and the assaults can kill a sniper from long range more quickly.And finally,this game is not optimized for dual core processors.

I guess I will go with STALKER Series as I have already played the 1st Installment. Did you try Bullet Storm? It was very funny indeed.

You mean Warface?Yes,it is multiplayer.Co-Op is available too though.

warface has not so good pings AFAIK.

Anyone saw Survarium?Its in closed alpha and is based in Ukraine,so we can expect servers in Russia.Seems nice and the environment reminds me of Tomb Rider 2013.

Warframe:The game is awesome.Remember that this is not PVP,it is PVE.Make sure to watch some videos about the Mods and all before messing with them ingame.I am sure you wont understand how to use them wiithout watching videos.

Installed Warframe today. It was only 3.3 GB of download. Played 91 minutes in first run. Only very few games managed to get that much play time from me on first run. I downloaded because it have Single player, Co-OP and Multiplayer options. So even if my internet won't allow to play, i still can play SP. First time when i joined, it said no match found, check setting. I went to setting, set ping to 400 (default 300). Now i started playing, after game started, i 2 other players spawned. We have to kill NPC and loot. Go through various rooms, some doors are locked and need 2 players to open it. Some doors need hacking, little complicated for me, i waited others to open such doors. It is like solving a puzzle on a terminal.

You get a sword (press E to attack using sword), primary gun and a pistol. Guns can be switched by pressing F key. After killing NPC, you get ammo, health and many more stuff, i don't what they are. You will auto pick loot by walking to area with loot.

Even if this is game is pay to win, it won't make much difference as you are playing as a team fighting NPC. So your team mate pay the game developers for epic weapons and helping the team is win-win for everyone, correct me if i am wrong.
