It's predicted to be one of the best FPS multiplayer games ever - where teamwork is essential. It's a THQ game - same as Company of heroes. Anybody heard of it?  --------------------  Members Of Barbarossa  |

What is the big deal about vehicles? In UO the jeeps are death traps and the tanks aren't much better. If you are into realisim, whatever that means in a video game, then you have to know that the average infantryman in WWII never got near a tank or a jeep. Having half of each team mounted on vehicles way over represents their importance in combat.

If you are talking about WW2 realism, just remember this: that
soldier NEVER respawned after being killed !!! An FPS foot-soldier game always amounts to a run-n-gun for the kiddies to play.... Here is a review on Frontlines from Gamespy: http://ps3.gamespy.com/playstation-3/front...r/840632p1.html JIM -------------------- |

That review makes it seem a logical progression for our 6v6 and 8v8 UO teams. The ability to control drones by flying them by wire from the ground really intrigues me. I also love the concept of battling along a discernible line of battle - something we always try to achieve in our TWL matches.
Any one else have good intel on this game and its potential as a multiplayer we can compete with? I see it is due to ship on February 12 for WinXP. |

QUOTE(Midnight Rambler @ 12/12/07 9:10pm) Anyone know the system requirements? I believe the game is scalable so you can run it on older systems and still pull decent frame rates. The paragraph that peaked my interest from the GameSpy review was this: In an effort to break away from classically scripted FPS design (seen most notably in games like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Halo 3) which keeps players on a fairly linear path, tripping scripted moments as you go, Frontlines uses a new technique: frontlines. The idea is that wars are typically fought where one side comes into violent contact with the other, creating battle lines that stretch across a battlefield. Frontlines puts you right on the ragged edge, and it's up to you to decide which targets of opportunity you want to tackle first. I also like the idea that you can select your choice of weapons and this isn't limited by your class of soldier. There are a series of informative video demos here. KAOS seems to have done an amazing job of configuring a battlefield that can employ and disable armored cavalary as well as airborne vehicles. The idea of deploying EMPs to disable vehicles in the vicinity means an infantryman will be able to force a man from his tank (I can hear some_help's satchels plopping under my heavy as I write this). This has great potential. KAOS has put up a terrific community website.

They say they are only releasing a limited number, so we should all jump on this soon. I'll be anxious to hear what others think of it. |
