depending on circumstance, "war" is actually a genre.
RTS, in particular tends to use "war games" for an alias, since the bulk of them are war games in some form or fashion.
I agree MMO is in itself not a genre. It's more of a prefix. It could be counted as a sub-genre if not for the fact it doesn't really change anything about the game's structure or play other than being server-locked and exclusively multiplayer.
That's just my opinion, though.
