so how's frontlines fuel of war??

I heard the choppers fly just like DC? I hope so I loved those choppers. Anyone got it? how is it?

It's pretty terrible. I was looking forward to the game since last year but after playing it for many hours I am disappointed. Even uninstalled it. The infantry combat is abysmal. The CQ class is gimped because of the shotgun which is probably one of the worst in modern fps history. The gunplay overall is pretty weak, all weapons have scopes and no iron sites. The assault class is the only class most people play, because of the grenade launcher which is more accurate than the gun itself. Drone role is pretty awesome for a while then it sinks in and most people play emp class so they can see you and kill you.

Tons of bugs and visual problems along with poor optimization. With all the clutter it's not surprising the game lags. Launch was ugly. Even with the new patch which does really nothing. Browser is a console one. It's just not worth it. Go play something else.

And yes there is no joystick support for those who care. Also no anti cheat.

I think I played the 360 demo for about 47 seconds and then turned it off, it was horrific.V4LENT1NE

I hated it for the first hour I played it, mainly due the fact I was in a 64 person server that was quite laggy. After moving onto a smaller sized server with around 32-40 players the game flow is much better. The map design in this game is fantastic. The levels feel alive, and the touch of destructable objects and set pieces makes the explosives feel more powerful. I honestly can say I really like this game now.

I hope those of you who are very weary of the game give it a shot. I think if you like battlefield you will really like this. The great thing about this game is that it is very hard to not be in a constant firefight. Being that everyone is at the "frontline" it gets pretty intense. The sound scope is phenominal, with gun fire, bullets zipping past your head, explosions, vehicle engines rumbling, AA fire blasting away, and the screams of falling troops all accompining each other to make the battlezone feel alive. I'm sure my Sennhieser 555s help quite a bit, but none the less the sound is very impressive.

I have a few gripes about the game though. The sniper needs to be toned down, as it is such an easy weapon to use. They need to add sway, more recoil after a shot, slower firing rate, make the clip size to 4, or something to make the gun a little less over-powering. Also, the grenade launcher on the assault rifle needs to be toned down. Right now the assault rifle itself is great weapon for medium-long ranges. With the grenade launcher it is also a great weapon for close range. People use the grenade launcher like a shotgun. I feel as though the grenade launcher should be used as a device for finishing off someone you have wounded with bullets, making it effective for when people try and duck or run behind cover. I haven't seen anyone use the shotgun, or at least I haven't been killed by it yet, because the grenade launcher is just so damn powerful there isn't any need for the shotgun. I haven't used the shotgun myself so my opinion might be skewed.

With some gameplay tweaks I can see this game being a huge hit as soon as the positive words, like mine, are spread throughout forums. I hope I have shed some more light about this game and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

The maps are generic and not very memorable. Destruction doesn't really add any immersion for me to an already lacking map design. I agree that the sound is good. Now only if they put that much effort into the rest of the game it would of turned out better. The whole frontline combat is iffy. Most games I played no one really worked together due to the way squads are poorly handled. Also the lack of communication options such as voip and a readable chat really hurts the game.

If it was a budget game I wouldn't complain but this is $50 we're talking about. Not worth it. Maybe down the road when they fix the game but not now. Save your precious monies.

it still feels unstable like it did in the beta, it doesnt feel like a solid game.

it feels like a console game with stripped down options and customization except for graphics.

no context menu à la BF2/2142 = LOSE.

no buddy list = LOSE.

no server history = LOSE.

no joystick support in vehicle based tactical FPS = LOSE.

no clan support whatsoever = LOSE.

im dissapointed and I guess ill have to reinstall BF2 while waiting for bf3.

If you run VISTA do NOT get this game. There is a good chance it will not even work right. I have the game and I cant get it to run past the first missions loading screen....

decent SP compaign; the heli control is frustratingly difficult, but no need for it to finish the game. tank driving and blasting is fun.

played through it without any bug or unstability issue on vista x64.
