Frontlines review - "the most epic multiplayer maps ever constructed for the Xbox 360"

Gameplayer's review of Frontlines: Fuel of War has gone live in which they argue that the game features some of the best map design available to online X360 gamers.

"And 'epic' really is the keyword here: while Kaos has been busy with all aspects of the Frontlines experience, the one thing that immediately stands out with this game is the size of some of the maps featured. They're huge, and impressively so."

I dont think they have ever played warhawk..

32 multiplayer with a good looking engine has been done already. 60 is next.

SlappingOysters5897d ago

this was a multi-console game... which it isn't. Luckily I have both consoles 8-)

I do like Warhawk. I'm going to try Frontlines this weekend, I just hope it's not one of those games that lags like hell in Australia.

toughNAME5897d ago

But I highly doubt this game can compete with the likes of Gears, Halo 3, and COD4

My interest has defintely been peaked, I'll give this game a rent for sure

LastDance5897d ago

halo mayaswell have done what warhawk did and barred the single player.

kwicksandz5897d ago

the player cap for front lines is 50 not 32. oh and it has dedicated servers too so no crying about large p2p games please.

bumnut5897d ago

i was playing 64 player online games on pc 5 years ago

InMyOpinion5897d ago

I don't think you have played anything on the 360.

bumnut5897d ago (Edited 5897d ago )

I have a 360 and i have this game.

its not very good, thats my opinion.

you don't agree with my opinion so you say ive not got a 360?

fermcr5897d ago

@bumnut

Yep ... been playing Battlefield with 64 players years ago :)

InMyOpinion5897d ago

I was referring to Blademask.

this game is not the greatest.

the single player is over in 5-6 hours and the online is too laggy with 32 players.

i have seen a couple of games with 50 player slots, but no players in them.

The maps are huge and feel a little empty with 32 players

"the most epic multiplayer maps ever constructed for the Xbox 360"
Yeah and a glorius 77.8% average on gamerankings.
Looks like the 360's best just aint good enough.

sabbath4205897d ago

you say "no i was playing 64 player online games on pc 5 years ago" Thats pc not a console. There is a huge difference in pc and a game console don't you think? Especially in price. To the guy that said the game is to laggy with 32 and the maps feel empty. I have had only a few problems with lag and when I do I find a different room. I live in nevada and have no trouble with any servers except sometimes the Eu. servers. And now that they have fixed the server trouble matches are easy to find and get into. I have not played in the 50 player games yet as they have all been full. But the maps are perfect in size and function. I especially like the invasion map.

sabbath4205897d ago

Have you played it? Do you always rely on other peoples opinions? I feel sorry for you then.

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

ITS. NOT. FREE.

Stop using that word...

lindquist1200d 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?

Godmars2901200d ago

"Games with subscription service."

Its what they are.

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

shuvam091200d 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.

starsi3601200d 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.

darthv721200d ago

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

Lmcreach1200d ago

Why would I want either of these games LOL

Father__Merrin1200d ago (Edited 1200d 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.

skycaptin52475d 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

Profchaos2475d ago

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

Asuka2475d 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

Scatpants2475d ago

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

Sidewinder-2475d 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

cannon88004029d ago (Edited 4029d 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!

ftwrthtx4029d ago

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

Game4life4029d ago

Just keep Darksiders true to the franchise and im happy

Heavenly King4029d ago (Edited 4029d 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.

Roccetarius4029d ago (Edited 4029d 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_Desire4029d 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.

Hazmat134029d 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.
