Look how crappy this games combat system is, just watch this video, I cannot believe they even went retail with this game. There is nothing to do in the game, and that was probally the two most boringness weeks of my life.

Yeah... RP isnt for everyone ;)

if you expect a shooter or grinding game you wont be happy with this game, as you can see on the post above :P

when i clicked the link there was a video in the youtube playlist right below this one:

or just take this one:

just 2 examples ;)

I agree that there is a lot of OOC comments, and just plain spam on the forums. It is mostly coming from the CS stlyle players that have seen the content coming for MS2.... and are against it, because it will interfere with thier run and gun game.

I have to say that Role Playing is not for everyone... and that including it in the basic game structure is going to make those that dont like it, have to deal with it more often... and they are generally not happy with this. To each thier own... (I expect to see some drop in numbers when they start releasing MS2 content) but I also expect to atttract a lot more new players once that content is available.

I don't really see your point in how this video proves how crappy the combat system is. The video shows someone fighting in 3d person which i personally like and you don't find in many other games. The person in the video doesn't really know how to fight because he strifes all the time. And this game offers a more realistic way to strifing which is slower then normal walking and thus making you more vurlnerable.

So please tell us what you think is wrong in the combat system.

Ok ok this guy says the game is crap?

Hes still playing it even though he posted this like a month ago...

Yeah oakly it must really suck if you keep playing it... idiot

The concept of FoM is very cool and I would love to see a good MMO use some of the ideas of FoM: user generated missions, politics, rp, all PvP. That being said, I am enraged at the fact that I paid money to test this game out. It was HORRIBLE! There are way too few people, too many factions, all conflicted, and absolutely nothing to do.

You cant have a user-based, zero content game WITHOUT USERS!!!! There arent enough users for the concept to work, and there never will be since anyone (like myself) who joins is going to quit almost immediately. This game should get a MUCH lower rating.

hmm, you honestly couldnt see anything wrong with that video?

I've been looking for a new game, and I remembered FoMK, so I also went on youtube and watched some PvP videos... and I'm definitely not even going to try this game.

what do you mean theres nothing wrong with that video....?  who cares if he's fighting in 3rd person, the fact is it took about 5 minutes to kill one person.  what kind of shooter is this..?

I've been playing the Planetside free trial, and well, it can be pretty hard to kill people sometimes.  But if you put half a clip of rifle rounds into one person, or shoot someone at point blank range with an assault shotgun 5 times, they die.  that's just how shooter games are supposed to be... I also noticed the guy in the video was just repeatedly using auto-healing medkits on himself WHILE SHOOTING.  that's a pretty big game flaw.  you can use meds in planetside, but they don't help much and you can only use one every once in a while.

i see tons of things wrong with the combat in this game from that video...

You can automatically see that bullets don't do enough damage.  Hmm well yes it "increases longevity" of the battles, of course, because it takes 80 bullets to kill someone (unless you're ganking someone with crappy armor I bet), but why is this a problem?  Well, it eliminates a lot of the aspects of what a shooter game should be.

1. It highly reduces the effectiveness of stealth combat.  Let's say I'm the same level as that guy in that video, with the same armor/guns and everything, and I come up behind him and start shooting him in the back.  In other games, he'd be dead, because he wasn't watching his back/I used stealth.  But in this game it seems, he'll just have 94 HP as opposed to my 100 HP.  Ridiculous.

2. It highly reduces the effectiveness of guerilla tactics.  If I'm at the corner of an L-shaped hallway, peeking around the corner, and I see someone down at the very end of the hallway, normally I could use distance to my advantage and hide behind the corner of the hallway bend.  Let's say I do that in this game.... I could peek around the corner, hiding 1/2 of my body to reduce damage and start sniping him with an assault rifle.  But by the looks of that video, he'd have about, oh 94 HP by the time he runs over to me.

I'm a big fan of FPS/shooters... and the way I look at it, in most FPS games offer a variety of ways to fight, making the game fun.  You can sneak around and hide in bushes and snipe people when they dont expect it, or hide behind a wall or some crates to avoid being hit, or simply rely on your aim 100%.  It appears as if the only option in FOMK is to rely on aim and use medkits during battle, and rely on the damage of your high level weapon.  It's already not hard to aim, you point at the enemy and hold down your lmb... therefore higher level (rank, same thing) wins.  No tactics, no stealth, higher level wins, just like any other mmo.  Nah I wont be playin this.

I personly like the way you fight, outflanking somone does infact make an HUGE differand. If you outflank someone and manage to hit him three time in the head you have an huge head start. Also take into consideration that this game has more then combat. I'm happy we have this kind of system as it keep the average CS person out of the game and would mean that poeple would kill you at every turn. Distroying roleplay even more.

well you kind of admitted that FoMK completely obliterated stealth and tactics with this sentence.

"If you outflank someone and manage to hit him three time in the head you have an huge head start."

a ...head start?  Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds..?  If you shoot someone in the head 3 times their health should be in the negatives...  WAY in the negatives.. unless you were using a BB gun
