Frontlines: Fuel of War Reviewed by 1Up

The 1Up network gives us their thoughts on the new Frontlines: Fuel of War for Xbox 360 and PC.

Bathyj5899d ago

Shame. I'd buy it half price for single player.

They should stick to 16 vs 16 if it means the game is gonna be unplayable from lag. I hope they didn't throw that many in just to compete with Resistance.

VaeVictus5899d ago

More like to compete w/ Warhawk. I wonder if the graphics are better on the retail version than the demo. It is a pretty ugly game. Warhawk>Frontlines.

I find the game to be quite good on both levels. I have only had one match with any lag to speak of. The rest have been great. I started in non ranked games then soon moved to ranked matches. The only problems that I have had so far is every one wants the dang helicopters and gets to them before me. But they don't help with air support very well. Another thing is the squad leaders should be able to communicate with one another. And there is a bit of texture pop in here and there. People that are complaining about this game must have crappy connections and standards that are way to high. I have nothing but great fun with it and all the awesome boom booms and vehicles.

Playing the demo I thought is was pretty good. Im still goin to get it

etownone5899d ago

A review I completely agree with. Thank you 1up.

The single player is fun, took me about 8 hours. And although the multiplayer does some amazing things, like for instance you and three friends jump in a helicopter and fly over a command point to then have 3 players jump out of the helicopter and use their parachute.

But the fact that there is latency/lag, whatever the problem is takes away from the fun. And i'm sure they can fix these bugs out, butthey need to do it ASOP.
I know what lag is, but the fact I unload a clip on someones back to then have him turn around and shoot a small burst at me and kill me...unacceptable.

Why is this game in the ps3 section? It was scrapped for ps3. only on xbox and pc

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

ITS. NOT. FREE.

Stop using that word...

lindquist1195d 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+.

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.

starsi3601194d 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.
