Mixed feelings about Frontlines: Fuel of War, which recently scored a "5" from IGN.
From the article: "THQ and Kaos jumped through a lot of extra hoops with Microsoft to allow 32-player DEDICATED servers (supposedly this will be increased soon to 50-players) on Xbox Live. For me, and everyone I know, these servers are nearly useless. If you're lucky enough to actually get in to one of these matches, it's only for about 6 seconds, and then you load out to the all-too-familiar "This match is no longer available" screen. Something is broken here.
None of the core elements of the game had any major issues, and despite the frustration, this game is HIGHLY addictive. "One more game" syndrome set in on Friday night and I played until almost 5:30am. I've never even done that kind of stand in Call of Duty 4, one of my favorite games ever. I think once THQ and Kaos figure out the bugs and re-evaluate their comms choices, this is going to be a sure go-to-game for anyone with the desire to live out their fantasies of mass-destruction."
Xbox Live Games with Gold users can snag these two games for free. They weren't announced by Microsoft but appear to show as free with Xbox Live Gold.
If you're getting something through or because of a paid subscription service -
ITS. NOT. FREE.
Stop using that word...
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?
Replies(4)"Games with subscription service."
Its what they are.
And yes, the same if not double for for PS+.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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."
Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs. ATV, Titan Quest, Supreme Commander, Frontlines, Stuntman, Juiced, Full Spectrum Warrior, Destroy All Humans and much more will enrich the Nordic Games portfolio
Wants Gamers Input on How to Move Forward
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!
Nice to see they are looking for input from the people that will either buy the games or not.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I 100% agree with the author. I HEART this game too.
i have been debating getting this game. the online demo was fun but not enough to make me buy the game.
I'd give it a solid 9-10
Apparently, no one knows how to play 50-player games on xbox-live. Go to quick match and search through the lists with the left or right triggers to find the 50-player matches.
"You might be wondering how a car that small carries any grenades at all, much less enough to fight for what seems like an eternity. Hey, it’s the future…"
Well the future must already be here it is called metal storm. Virtually all the vehicles and UGV's (un-manned ground vehicles)in frontlines is real including both attack helicopters though the commanche stealth helicopter never entered production. The grenade launching ugv's use caseless electronically fired ammunition that is stacked in the barrels. If one shot fails to fire the one behind it will fire it out anyways.
you know what the funny thing is? this game isnt on the ps3. all ps3 fanboys are going on about MGS4 yet there craptacualr console cant even run unreal engine 3 properly. hahaha they shoulda bought a 360 like normal people instead of wasting there money on a paperweight.
