Web based 3D FPS game!? Are you kidding me?

After typing the "Nothing is Impossible" post, an email from Instant Action(Website full with nicely rendered 2D/3D web based games) was received. I have waited for one of its available game after a great first impression on that game's trailer. It is Fallen Empire Legion and it is the revolution of online games. A web-based multiplayer 3D FirstPersonShooter game in web browser... Is there any web based online game cooler than this?



So, what email did I received?
It says that Fallen Empire Legion BETA has gone LIVE! w00t!!!

Here are some of its in-game screenshots:

As you can see from the pictures. The graphics of the game is not bad although it is not comparable to Call of Duty4 or Crysis. But, hey! what do you expect from a web based game?

Reviews:
Quick Installation
Since it is still in Beta, there will be only a few maps, weapons for you to choose from. However, I'm sure that this game will grow quickly due to its uniqueness and it is very suitable for lazy people like me because it does not require players to go through a long and tedious installation process. I waited about 5 minutes for the first load and after that, it took me about 1 minutes to load the game ^^

Gameplay
There are only 2 maps for you to play on currently. (grass map, snow map)
Six class of characters. Gunner, Sniper, Sniper Specialist, Grenade Launcher Specialist - my favourite, Rocket Launcher Specialist and Chain Gun Specialist.
2 game modes. CTF(Capture the Flag) and Team Deathmatch.
Easy to learn for FPS gamers.

Drawback
However, there are drawbacks regarding this game. Firstly, All Instant Action games can only run perfectly under certain web browsers such as FireFox 2, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari. As I told you before, it is still under Beta. So, let us give it some time to be run under other web browsers.
Secondly, it has a higher resource requirements compared to other web based games.
