Frontlines: Fuel of war MP demo

Downloaded this yesterday and played for an hour , urgh has the right idea but really does not live up to the standards they have set and i myself had thought the game may reach. Graphics were really not to good at all and the general gameplay i found really slow and boring. Seems very much like the Battlefield franchise with it's classes , Vechiles etc.etc. In which I think it has failed to achieve as I personally think with the time they have had to make the game , it does not come close to the Battlefield games in any sense. Just wondering what anyone else who downloaded thought.

I downloaded the single player demon and didn't like it at all. Still decided to download the MP demo, and still don't like it much. Controls are too stiff and the gunfire feels way to generic. The idea of the front lines is a pretty good one though, even if they didn't do the best to implement it. Games seemed way too slow if you had any less than at least 20 people, and once you got over 24 it seemed to put serious strain on the servers inflicting some major lag issues. I'll just keep playing COD while waiting for the next battlefield.

^^^^ I agree completely with everything you said then. The new Battlefiled I am really hopeful for , I like the franchise alot.

Yea, I'm really looking forward to seeing how they implement the destruction. Loved Modern Combat, it was prolly my most played last gen game.

Just read today the game is getting boosted to be able to support 50 players online. That could make it more interesting but they still need to work on the controls.

Think of the lag , GoW had bad lag with only 8 players let alone 50! I still think if they can properly smooth the game over get the graphics up a notch improve the controls and just get it running overall alot smoother , it has the scope to be a very interesting game.

Yea, lag will be a problem but there are supposed to be dedicated servers just for the large games. We'll see how it turns out, but I'm not holding my breath.
