I think this would be a great thing to not do.

Free, high quality, application based, plotless, online, first person shooter game. Players can log into different perpetual worlds, personal or public, or create transient worlds for a quick play with a group of friends. This game wouldn’t focus on developing a character but instead just on navigating a three dimensional indoor/outdoor terrain and killing others. Different play modes such as teams or every man for him/herself could be chosen. Of course capture the flag play mode would be available. Game deaths would be fairly frequent on average. Each time your character dies a 15-30 second ad must be viewed before returning to the game. This would pay for the service. Furthermore, there could be advertising in the cyberscape. But I assume that is already done.

       So... take something that's widely known to exist and make it free? I'm sorry, but how is that an original idea?   

       [Marked-for-Deletion] Widely known to exist. The US Army sponsored an online game exactly like this several years ago (I think it still exists) and advertised it extensively.

       [mfd] widely known to exist [-] even more ads   

       Try Tremulous or TribesNext. Both are free and good quality, and don't have ads.

       I'm not a gamer, but I think the idea of "your punishment for losing is watching an ad", is actually a rather novel one. [+]

       About to peruse the wikilist. I had glanced at it prior to posting this. Not sure if any of them actually meet all the requirements.
