Rumour mongering: a real MMOFPS?

In general, you should try to have players crouching/going prone in order to return fire so that no one is moving while shooting,

Negative. I wont play that game. Then again, i am NOT advocating Unreal/Quake type movement. Honestly, plantsides style and pace is good to me (or QW:ET).

Having (mandatory) to stop to shoot is lame.

I'm a TF2 player, and a big fan of Quake/Unreal -- so it's fair to say that I prefer faster games. My point was more so that MMOFPS games face unique technical limitations, and if you aren't in the mood to try and break down huge barriers, it's a whole lot easier to design a slow paced game where players are more often stationary than moving. You could go faster than that and probably have 'not bad' warping, but I think you can make a fun game based more on long range stationary combat than close range moving combat, and avoid a lot of lag issues as a result.

I agree, this is exactly why I refuse to participate in real-life combat as well until they implement recoilless and auto-balancing weaponry.

I want something more like:
A model somewhere between WW2Online (Large world, Front lines, supply chains),  planetside (Personalized avatars, Outfits, squads and equipment spawns {tanks and shitt}, Cert system, looting, shooting style), and COD4 (Graphics/setting/look and shooting style/Tech level).

You can pick two. Large World or COD Graphics. I don't believe you can do both personally. Don't forget, Large World needs Large groups of players. Eve does it by having any combat bigger than 2 people meaning you zoom out so far all you see is 2 Crosshairs and a target list to auto fire at.

Large world to me doesn't mean zoneless. Link together a bunch of maps and control the number of people allowable in each to some degree. Most other MMO do this already anyway (or just crash the zone/region/world/game when the cap is met).

^ Like planetside.

Like creating a quilt of COD4 maps. PS was fine for its time, but whatever it takes to play it (re: previous pages), it's not enough FPS for me.

I said nothing of the like.

Also, EVE has *considerably* less grass, trees, junk to hide behind, walls, windows, and similar shit.
