This isn't a thread about Halo, which has also just been announced as a free to play title. This is a thread about three recently made shooters that are hoping to find an audience.
Rocket Arena has not been announced as free-to-play at all, but it's apparently been a massive failure as a paid product, as if EA learned nothing from the success of Apex. It's already getting huge discounts (upwards of 80% for a game that released two weeks ago) and there's speculation that they're going to have to make it f2p for any hope of saving it. It has a very cartoonish look, and plays like an arena shooter mixed with smash bros style "knockouts." It's on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Hyper Scape is a game some people seem to love, but there's concern that the skill ceiling is too high, with average-skilled players finding it very hard to compete. It plays like if Quake or Unreal Tournament were a battle royale. It's been in open beta on PC, and it'll be available for PS4 and Xbox One on August 11th.
Rogue Company is a 3rd person tactical hero shooter. It's has been announced as free-to-play, but right now is in a closed paid beta. You can currently pay a minimum of $15 for a founders pack and play the game that way, earn a beta key by watching streamers or signing up online, or you can just wait for the game to go free-to-play. It's available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
If there's a free-to-play shooter that comes out soon that I missed, please let me know. Otherwise, which of these would you most be interested in playing and why?
