Multiplayer FPS demos

2001-01-01T11:42:00.000-08:00

The last list is of online FPS demos that still have servers with people playing. All of these demos are worth trying because they are different from regular free online FPS games. Almost all demos listed here have vehicles in-game, which is not very common in regular free-to-play shooters. The downside is that multiplayer demos usually have only one map and couple game modes, so it might get boring after a while.
