Jun 24, 2013 at 13:37	comment	added	Halfwarr		I think this sums up the entire Doom Clones vs FPS images.wikia.com/doom/images/6/64/…
Jan 9, 2012 at 15:17	comment	added	Kristian Fenn		It's commonly referred to as either a MOBA or an Action RTS. Depends who you ask. It all honesty, there's so few of them it's not suprising there's no accepted consensus on a genre name. See the 'Doom vs. FPS' post above.
Dec 5, 2011 at 14:22	comment	added	Josh1billion		^That was the original name given to the FPS genre before FPS became popular :) here's an interesting chart: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… But yeah, MOBA seems to be the most popular denotation for the genre.
Aug 31, 2011 at 14:59	comment	added	RCIX		@hexa: That reminds me of a comment I read somewhere saying something like "LoL/HoN/etc are NOT MOBAs, they're dota clones". So all FPS games are doom clones? :P
Aug 16, 2011 at 20:49	comment	added	tzenes		It's worth noting that Monday Night Combat has also stated that they consider their genre a MOBA
Aug 16, 2011 at 18:26	comment	added	Vinicius Kamakura		They can name the genre of the game all they want, it doesn't mean it will be the real name of the genre.
Aug 16, 2011 at 18:24	comment	added	Raven Dreamer		@Hexa - It's their game, so I think they're well within their right to name the genre of their own product -- which was the point of the question, after all. I'm going to poke around and see if I can't find what HoN et al call their games.
Aug 16, 2011 at 18:08	comment	added	Vinicius Kamakura		Riot Games DID NOT invent this type of game so they DO NOT hold the "rights" to simply say "this is the official name of the genre"
