FOM or Planetside?

in Face of Mankind
I played FOM in early Beta and havnt picked it up since.  I played Planetside because I was looking for a First Person Shooter mmorpg.   I was so dissapointed with Planetsides crappy weak inaccurate weapons.   You aim at something and watch the ammo swerve off in some other direction.   That caused people running up to the enemy and sticking the gun barrel  on the enemys body looking like a melee war.  Frustrating because these people run in front of you causing freindly fire penalty.   Planetside has these killer huge maps that would be great for long range battle if the weapons were accurate but there not so I dumped it.   What is FOM's weapons like?  Are they more planetside or more accurate like say battlefield or any other quality FPS?  Thanks much.

    FoM is p2p, and its not a FPS, if you expect action all the time, don't go play it. Most of the time you will be sitting arround like a chicken waiting for something to happen.

    So it is not FPS  what do you mean p2p?  I thought the weapons were like a fps.   Thanks.

    p2p means pay to play and yes combat is similar to FPS, but game as a entire isn't one. You must learn more and talk to others not just shoot at things next time you play.

    FoM is like hobbo hotel only better graphics and guns. Hobbo hotel may even have more users, dunno havn't used it since I was like 14.

    FOM and PLanetside can not be compaired. Two differand game. I personly enjoy FOM a lot. I recomand that and play it more then 5 minutes.
  • darthvader87darthvader87 Member Posts: 9
    Planetside and FoM are completely different, I enjoyed PS for being a great FPS, but ther is pratically no RP in there. FoM has an extraordinary RP (especially in certain factions) but lack of the immediacy PS has.

    To conclude: wanna play 30 mins and have fun? PS. Wanna be part of a world that as ours can have up and down regarding action but is very "social"? FoM.


  • grimbojgrimboj Member Posts: 2,102
    The best way to describe the difference is FOM is not a game, planetside is.
    FOM is a social experiment where you give people guns and a label and see what happens. There are no objectives aside from amount money or a reputation by ganking. I have a link somewhere that actually states that the maker of FOM made it as a social experiment, if I find it I will edit my post.
    Planetside is a game with weapons, tanks, objectives, levels, ranks etc. Try the planetside free trial and wait for something better is all I can suggest.

    FOM has three weapons, a TAR7 RGI9 PP7, they are all the same gun with a different skin, they do the same damage and everything.

    The game is lame, do not touch it if you want quality.

    OH YEAH YOUR RIGHT.

    A GAK HR 420 and a RYX, both the same gun with a different skin and sound effect.

    A Gak and a 6x6, same guns just one has a black skin and the other has a silver skin, both guns suck.

    and a Zany, the only "unique" gun in the game, even though it's a pretty basic pistol.

    oh and crappy grenades, that when you throw them, it takes about five seconds for one to blow up, wow that's useful.

    Huxley? Still wondering what it is with people offering something that's a year or so away. Jesus christ guys, the fellow is possibly going to waste 12 bucks on the game and maybe end up liking it. Beats waiting a year playing with lint imo.

    Ok you gone in the game. Vorted to trade centre, looked at the market and only saw an few weapons for sale and you quited the game? Atleast you have not spend a lot of time. All weapone are differand. Treu the RGI and PP7 have almost the same look. (The TAR not, indicating that you have not or not long enough played this game)

    You also beside the list you add got an Orbit and DoA. Both look the same, yet the DoA is a bit stronger, however considering it is illigaly modified, some dont use it (roleplay). Just play the game for an period of time and dont bring an game in discredit and talk bullshit when what you say is untreu (You may have an opinion, but atleast make sure it consist out of facts and not random rants)

    One of the main reasons I still play the game is the comunity.

    Listen kid, I have played FOM since Nov. 2005, I know every single thing about FOM there is to know, and trust me, there isn't much.

    Six or even three months ago, I would have been just as defensive as you are towards criticism, but eventually, you will wake up and realize how lame FOM is, and how there is absolutely nothing to do in the game, absolutely nothing new, and definitely nothing unique about FOM.

    Face it, FOM is an ongoing unreal tournament match. What is there to do in the game beside shoot people? And don't tell me RP, not everyone finds *Asterisk* imagines space ship land*

    There is more to do. Trading for one it is an interesting espect of the game, roleplay (What is that for odd excuse not to use it becouse not everyone like it...there is no single thing that everyone likes), fighting.

    DPS listens and so the game become better with every patch (recent patch made it so that traders are the only poeple who can make ql3 items). This game is really not anything like an ongoing unreal tournament match....

    Wait till aliens get released in FoM.  The game has action and very much strategy to it, but you have jackasses that say "omg i played the game for 30 minutes i know everything"

    Ive been playing for 13 months , and yes i still love it.

    You can never compare two games with each other, unless they have simliarities in game quality and type.

    There can always be a better game than the other, based on player's perspectives, but you can really never compare two games against each other.
