If you ever played and enjoyed Battlefields, then you should have fun with this exciting and fast pace game.
Frontlines is a kinda a lite version of Battlefields, but with missions and a ton of goals.
Like Battlefield the game is made up of missions, and you need to reach certain points on the map and capture that point, pretty much like capture the flag. Then you are hauled off to the next mission, so though the battles are pure Battlefield, the structure of the game is more like any other FPS like COD or Ghost Recon.
The game play is very fast pace, and exciting, with teams of your men running around pretty much doing their own thing, though there was seem to be few near you to help you with the goals. After you are killed you re-spawn just like in BF, then you rejoin your team and continue to fight.
The graphics are very good but not great; the sounds are pure FPS with bombs and missions blowing up all around you. The game has tons of very, very cool futuristic weapons, like drones, and Future Combat Systems, remote flying vehicles. You have more then enough high tech guns to keep you going for a long time.
I've played on the single player, since I don't have Xbox Live Gold, but I heard that the Multiplayer is very well done, but a bit laggy.
There are a few things about the game that I didn't like, like the weapons, as cool as they are seems to be underpowered. I mean a high powered sniper rifle like the M1000 should be able to take down anything short of a elephant with one shot, but I find myself hitting the target a few times to bring them down. Most of the weapons seem a bit underpowered and not very realistic but there are so many types of weapons you soon forget about that.
Also the enemy AI seems to be pretty bad, the enemy runs around like they don't have a clue, but they do a fine job of hiding behind things. Also the Enemy AI seem to be more then excellent shots, they can hit you from a very long way away. My teammates seem a bit lost at times, getting stuck in the junk laying around on the ground, or behind walls.
The story is pretty sound, using some of the problems we have today, and making them much worst in the very near future.
This game maybe not in the caliber of a COD 4, or maybe even a Ghost Recon, it's not quite seasoned enough to be up to speed with those games, but it is a lot of fun, and has some really cool weapons that I hope to see in COD 5 or Ghost Recon ATF 3.
