Picking the MMORPG sub-genre

• Army MMORPGs are a genre of online games, and within that genre there are several different types of games available on several different systems.

Before purchasing any of these games, make sure you have the correct console or PC requirements and that you are willing to put in the time requirements needed to succeed at these games.
