What deaper is there to go, the npc are programmed to respond.

Example:

Npc staning near a corner

I go up to him and say Hello mr npc or mr Smith (if that was his name)

The npc will then go on and say hello to you and you can say things and they will respond. Just dont expect to much out of it, it's pre-programmed, not made in that second.

The first building is your apartment that you live in, they don't make you live on the streets and if you got the money, get yourself a nice looking penthouse

And to do missions just search for a mission, they are not on 24/7 since they have to be made by senior members and can range from patrol to assault.

And the camera, it's not a fps and it's not WoW, but it's FoM camera, takes time to get used to, but you can adapt to it.

And open beta can mean anything, if you read their plans on the forums they are first taking care of system bugs(believe me, they were the worst ever and high five for Duplex for getting rid of them)

Then gameplay and additions and a****s are on the way... Besides still got a way to go but that is why you are a part of the beta. I'ts not a free game, but a gameclient that you will insure that it will be palayable and enjoyable when it finally comes out.

Face of Mankind is a First Person Shooter.. i dont care what anyone says its not a huge roleplaying game, its a FPS with pollitics..

the only things you can ever hold in your hands is weapons (guns and or a knife). you cant do much of anything else than shoot people and run missions and chat..
-

the missions are all about standing in the same zone or walking around killing people for a good hour or so. then you wait to whenever to see if you got your credits and rank points for it.
==================

Besides them eventually adding the police bots to earth cities not much else is being added (what you see is what your going to get (im not. the game played interesting for a week or two, now i dont even see why someone logs on. there is NOTHING to do)

its a bad game basically

Gotta agree. I played for a good two days, and had hardly any fun while playing. I almost bought a gun 3-4 times, but everytime I spent more than 4 seconds on a merchant machine, somebody would sneak up behind me and shoot me in the back of the head. Nice try on making the game, but it just wont work out as an mmorpg.

Remember this game is a beta and betas have bad days. If you think there is nothing to do then read the official forums and get involved with the politics until there is more to do. I'll admit, right now, the game does limit the things you can do but when you get involved with the factions and the events going on, its something much more.

The players are running this game, it can go anywhere with them at the helm.

lol

if u hate FOM, then play swg,
but just know that FOM is the best ever!!
and u will be sad when FOM is what everyone plays

Feels a lot like the definition of "Beta" has been taken more in the sense of an "Closed Beta" or "Alpha" even.

Closed beta is where you do external testing with a group of testers who will do the more basic tests, lower level stuff, stability, basic gameplay tested in a module per module basis.

Open Beta is basically an operational release candidate. If this is what FOM has to offer, aka, if this is an indication of what the game will be ... awful.

there is going to be a wipe (soon) where they are adding new things to the game
-post on their forums about the wipe, im not posting it here

-and no the game wont have a ton of people playing it like wow, its a nitch game, but it will have people playing it

I was following this game several years ago. It's been too long in development becuase they don't have huge resources and are a bunch of youngish guys who love games and are not a bunch of money-grabbing capatilists like the suits at Vivendi. or Sony.

It's not an AAA title, but it does have some excellent concepts that should be supported, even if they do suck in their current implementation.

And oh yes, they do suck.

For all you purists out there, this game is one of the few that has a different aim for their player base. As the growth of oligopolies in the high-street has decreased our freedom and choice and played part in destruction of the "way-of-life" in many countries, if FOMK goes down then there will be little left on the market that differs from the formula so successfully implemented by UO all those years ago.

FOMK may suck, but it deserves every ounce of respect until Sony, Blizzard, NCsoft et al wake up and realise that there's a good money to be made in innovative MMO services and start taking risks to make a difference in the games-genre we all love.
