While Facebook is primarily a community portal for many people to link up together, it is also a massive casual gaming portal which houses thousands of fun and addictive games. Most of these games are either web-based browser games or flash games, but it looks like Facebook is finally moving onto a genre less traveled by web-browsers: First Person Shooter.

Introducing “Brave Arms“, the upcoming FPS game for Facebook, which more or less somewhat of a cartoon shooter that is launched on the Facebook platform. Developed by 3G Studios, this particular game will feature full 3D environments and models to the usually static games of Facebook.

With their art direction based off something like Battlefield: Heroes and Team Fortress 2, Brave Arms will feature some sort of cartoonish models and environment. Not necessarily a bad thing, but this would really make people think of their computers can actually support such a 3D game. Not everyone on Facebook actually has a powerful rig!

Looks like web-browser launched 3D games are getting extremely popular these days, with EA’s Battlefield: Heroes and id Software/Bethesda’s Quake Live. Both games were extremely well-received, and Brave Arms might just be the next successful game, powered by the millions of users on Facebook. Brave Arms is scheduled for launch this March.

The downside? You might just quit the game because of the sheer amount of invitation, feeds and all those community stuff you get from Facebook instead of the game!
