Frontlines X360 Multiplayer Tested - "Desert Combat Team Set to Challenge CoD4's crown"

THQ recently held a big multiplayer preview session for the Xbox 360 version of their upcoming FPS Frontlines: Fuel of War in Sydney, and Gameplayer were there. They have given an in-depth account of how the game played and what gamers can expect in this article.

"All of a sudden the part of the mini-map covered in a blue (meaning good) haze will diminish as the enemy's evil red haze swarms forward. In addition you can only capture command points at the frontline, so flanking deep into the enemy territory has little benefit – unless you're a good-for-nothing, scum-of-cyberspace, spawn-camping dickhead."

This is just Funny they can’t even get the game to play on the PS3 and they think they can beat Call Of Duty 4 this is hilarious thanks for the joke ill be surprise if this game sells more than 100,000 units in its life time.

socomnick5930d ago

Dont forget that the ps3 version of cod 4 fails to work on the ps3 too sometimes.

heavyarms5931d ago

The game play online sounds great. I may just give this a try simply because i like this genre of games.

HolySoldier835931d ago

But the preview is from around the first or 2 of january this year, Plus they made an error they said it had no jets. This video was released 6 days ago on ign and posted on gametrailers.com

http://www.gametrailers.com...

as you can see there is definatly jets on some of the maps.

SlappingOysters5931d ago

Aussie site dude, they have their dates around the other way - so it is actually from today.

mesh15930d ago

@holysoldier
after watching that trailers this game is going to own

Lyberator5931d ago

I think this has potential but I want a MP demo before I decide anything.

jackdoe5931d ago

What CoD 4 crown? Constant server disconnects and issues and frustrating lack of support from IW? Frontlines can have that crown.

SlappingOysters5930d ago

yeah, but wasn't there a report the other day that CoD4 had overtaken Halo 3 as the most played game on Live?

FirstknighT5930d ago

That was awhile ago. Halo 3 is back on top.

mullet5931d ago

I'm sorry but Frontlines was a horrible demo.

Delt45931d ago

mullet i agree! i might try a MP demo but seriously if that didnt go better than the original demo then this isnt even on my radar....it wont even be a rental

If you're getting something through or because of a paid subscription service -

ITS. NOT. FREE.

Stop using that word...

lindquist1194d ago

If you know that you're paying for playing online + 4 games each month, those 4 games are NOT FREE.

But if they give you 6 games one month, 2 of them are free. Agreed?

How would you phrase it then?

Godmars2901194d ago

"Games with subscription service."

Its what they are.

And yes, the same if not double for for PS+.

shuvam091193d ago

Stop being such a snob. It's an informational article. And it's free for those who have GwG, as is clearly mentioned. Going by your logic, Buy 1 get 1 free shouldn't be a thing either, since you paid for 1.

starsi3601193d ago

First, stop being so triggered. Being so angry about something so mundane is worrying, maybe you need to look into why that is.

Secondly, why don't you go round all the UK shops offering "free" iphones and android phones when you sign up to £60 a month tariffs and scream at the staff that it's not free?

Do you get angry with Amazon, that advertise that Prime comes with FREE express delivery?

360 and original xbox games are free. You can download them and play them free on 360 and xbox one offline.

darthv721194d ago

I didn't have either one of these so... why not? Can't beat the price.

Lmcreach1194d ago

Why would I want either of these games LOL

Father__Merrin1194d ago (Edited 1194d ago )

Mx unleashed has been free to gold for ages for some reason, front lines is a good freebie it's not advertised.

Both games are free to keep in xbox digi library. No subsxription required to play these games once there added. There yours to keep

Revisiting Frontlines: Fuel of War

Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Frontlines: Fuel of War is a game that can honestly be forgotten, it was an average shooter and at that it certainly hasn't aged well."

LOL what a random revisit. I remember liking the demo for this game, but never bothered buying it.

skycaptin52469d ago

I bought it at launch, the game has been sitting here for years and it became backwards compatible so I was like meh why not

Profchaos2469d ago

I remember buying it for $2 on steam and playing it for 20 minutes

Asuka2469d ago

Completely forgot about this game. Remember being hyped about it... probably not that hyped about it seeing as how i never bought it amd forgot about it haha

Scatpants2469d ago

I wanted this game to be good but it was bad. Interesting ideas though.

Sidewinder-2469d ago

Wasn't a bad game. Clunky, but enjoyable. I still remember one of the loading screen captions; real poignant and deep...

"Our last drop of oil will be burnt by a tank."

Hopefully they can bring these titles successfully into the next generation

cannon88004023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

They really need to bring red faction back to life, that game is loved by many... and those other games too but I love red faction more than any of those other games. Bring back the destruction!

ftwrthtx4023d ago

Nice to see they are looking for input from the people that will either buy the games or not.

Game4life4023d ago

Just keep Darksiders true to the franchise and im happy

Heavenly King4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Darksiders 3 needs to be more like 1. Darksiders 2 was a very deluded experience in order to be longer.

And please hire Madureira as the creative director of the game please! His art made the game alive. If the art style changes the whole game will be a piece of generic crap.

Roccetarius4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

I have to admit, the loot system in Darksiders 2 felt like an obstacle instead. I think the first game nailed Darksiders better. They probably had good intentions with making it more RPG, but the animations, amongst other things suffered for it.

RBlue_Desire4023d ago

Agreed, most of DS2 felt like a chore to me with more platforming than action.
I am not saying I didn't liked the platforming, its just it was too much and was bit of a chore to me.

DS1 had little low amount of platforming, lack of verticality but it did good.

Hazmat134023d ago

i want you to take Geo-Mod and turn that up 11 i wanna see 50 story building fall and big beautiful towers come crashing down. i want a next gen destruction physics engine.
