What is MMO vs MMORPG?
The difference between MMO and MMORPG is that all MMORPGs are MMOs, but not all MMOs are MMORPGs. MMORPG are, by definition, a type of RPG, while an MMO can be anything from a battle royale action title to a real-time strategy game or even a new type of interactive experience that defies genres. MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player online RPGs by the number of players able to interact together, and by the game’s persistent world (usually hosted by the game’s publisher), which continues to exist and evolve while the player is offline and away from the game.Games may have MMO features like large worlds with online persistence but still not generally be considered an MMO, such as Grand Theft Auto V’s online play, while other games like League of Legends have small individual sessions but the global infrastructure requirements often allow for classification as an MMO.Games may have MMO features like large worlds with online persistence but still not generally be considered an MMO, such as Grand Theft Auto V’s online play, while other games like League of Legends have small individual sessions but the global infrastructure requirements often allow for classification as an MMO.Is Call of Duty an MMO? By this definition, it is. It is topologically identical. Another definition says an MMO is a game where you “traverse a virtual world, complete quests, earn rewards, and interact with other players. All those things are in Call of Duty.
