It would be awesome! All I see that would make it successful would be:

Cartoon graphics (TF2, little lag)

Huge open world area

2 Factions against each other, heavy PvP.

CoD 4 style, with a mass amount of weapons/upgrades/armours etc

Leveling system

2 on 2, 1 on 1, or even 32 on 32 arenas, or just open world PvP to obtain the greatest rewards.

Actually, you pretty much described Savage 2, without the cartoony graphics. Give it a try, it's on sale right now on Steam for 9.99

There are FPS MMOs out there already. WW2 Online is my favorite.

In addition to WW2 Online, there's also Planetside.

Also, there's Huxley to look forward to.

tf2 graphics, huge world, pvp 32 vs 32, leveling system? it'll lag on A LOT of machines. and how would something like that work out? jeez.

just check out battlefield: heroes, it's not a FPS, more like a TPS but still qualifies for a whole lot.that or hellgate: london.

EDIT: you are basically looking for fallout 3 ala MMORPG.

Now, I'm not sure which is more demanding, but Huxley is using the UE3 engine. So, take that as what you will, but saying that a game with TF2-like graphics will lag like crazy in an MMO setting might not exactly be accurate.
