50 players online confirmed for Frontlines 360 - Only 1 map will support this number at launch

Videogamer reports THQ has confirmed that Frontlines: Fuel of War, which is released across Europe on Friday, will support multiplayer games of up to 50 players on Xbox 360 - 64 for PC gamers. This makes it the first next-generation console title to offer such a large player count in online games.

The Xbox 360 version will launch with 90 dedicated multiplayer servers across Europe and North America, with one map, Village, offering support for the full 50 players. As more dedicated servers are brought online, additional maps will be opened up for 50-player games.

oh so thats how they have 50 player games now, i guess microsoft is allowing this now since they heard about Resistance 2, hahahhahahaha

ASSASSYN 36o5904d ago

Wow do you blame microsoft for everything. Last I read micrsoft didn't make nor publish this game.

toughNAME5904d ago (Edited 5904d ago )

until they bring in some form of group voice chat, social gaming is near impossible with anything more than 12 players

I'll be renting this game to see if THQ didn't solely go for flash

IHATEGOD5904d ago

they kinda did bring in a group chat. no one can talk to each other unless you join up in squads. so it kinda eliminates the lag you would get from everyone talking at once. plus you don't have to hear the 12 yr. olds.

deeznuts5904d ago

Funny, I remember playing counterstrike with more than 12 players, I believe (been a while). Of course it was typing and no talking. I can't imagine having to chat while playing, just not my cup of tea to chat in real voice.

SmokeyMcBear5904d ago

well at least they are going with dedicated servers, which should remove the lag that plague other games.

wow4u5904d ago

Your talking out your anus. There is no lag that "plagues" other games.

now, on PSN, I can barely play a game. Because all it's games lag. Yep. A plague of lag on PSN.

SmokeyMcBear5904d ago

haha.. i know you've played gears of war online and some halo3 online.. I have.. and yes.. there is lag.. o'plenty

Martini5904d ago

Even dedicated servers can lag - lag is inherent to online gaming like it or not.

Blitzed5904d ago (Edited 5904d ago )

Thats absolute BS. Keep peddling your lies. I play with a wireless connection and have never experienced lag on PSN. Do you really think you carry any credibility on this site? I am not saying it never lags (although I havent experienced any) but it certainly is not "A plague of lag on PSN". In making that comment you show you have never played on the PSN. Keep up the good work, MS loves you.

BABOON SH!TE

Still not 60 players online and across all maps !!

AngryHippo5904d ago

....what game on the PS3 supports 60 players on any maps let alone across all maps thats out right now?!None, yes resistance 2 will when its released, is it released yet?!no, has anyone experience 60 players on a console yet to say its a great experience or not...no. Microsoft arent playing catch up really are they?! If you took one minute to think about all aspects of online multiplayer, you will see that its SONY playing catch up. For a complete moron such as yourself I see that all you seem to care about is how many players are in a match.....and this means its better how exactly?please tell me?because from where i am stood you are sprouting complete and utter crap from your mouth. From your name and avatar you are no better than the so called 'xbots' that you say 'suck'. I would say complete morons like you 'suck'.

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+.

1194d ago
shuvam091194d 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...

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.
