• Well I guess it's a good thing it's still in beta then, huh? I still will never understand why people join betas to 'play'. If you aren't there to test the game you're pretty much just taking up space.

• That's unfortunate. FoM isn't a PvP game along the lines of Planetside, but it does have PvP and twitch-based combat. There is also a strong roleplaying side to FoM: crafting, faction ranking system, missions, etc. It isn't a straight 'shoot-em-u…

  in Is FoM a PVP game ? Comment by d3ik June 2004
• In a word, yes. The majority of the action will be based on faction vs. faction (read: PvP) conflicts.

• I read it on the official forums but I cant find the thread again. Head over there and check it out for yourself, I'm sure its there. I'm on the forum staff of the official forums. No such information was ever given out by an employee of Duplex Sy…

  in Release date? Comment by d3ik June 2004
• I think that's a fairly assumptious remark. Because 'you heard' (somewhere?) that they don't have a publisher yet, people shouldn't expect it to be released this summer? If you're going to say something like that at least mention a source, give a …

• Well, no nanobots or Illuminati perse... One similarity is the implant system in Face of Mankind. Each implant runs off BioCells (like Deus Ex), which are equipped similar to ammo to a gun. The implants range from Night Vision to leg exoskeletons…

• Haha... well I'm sure people play what they do because of personal tastes. For instance, I am looking forward to FoM because of the SciFi/Deus Ex feel. People play Everquest-type games because they like the fantasy aspect. I personally don't like…

• Yes, the economics is definitely one of the concepts that I'm looking forward to trying out. What I like is that there are no "auto-generated" items. Any item that is in the game has to be created by a player. This gives love to trade skillers th…

• Well, actually the developers (Duplex Systems) said March 29 - April 4th was the window that beta would start in. They set a week instead of an actual date just in case any issues came up while they were configuring the beta server(s). So please d…

  in FOM Beta testing starts March 29th Comment by d3ik March 2004
• I think you may be a little confused. The combat in Face of Mankind is not turn-based, it is real-time. You can compare it to playing a game like Quake or Deus Ex, but only for the combat portion. The heart of the game revolves around the dynamic…
