Nice one, was looking at this on gametrailers the other week, sounds pretty cool, hope it plays well

sunlitsix · 12 Dec 2007 at 13:02

yeah ive just looked on there, they give it a 9.1

Kainz · 12 Dec 2007 at 13:07

Is this another pesky FPS? Sounds like an RTS from the name.

weringo · 12 Dec 2007 at 13:19

thats what im thinking, ive never heard of the game before

Not a bad demo, feels a bit clunky in places, love the drones you can get, and always love commanding a tank and blowing things up, 32 players on Live too

sunlitsix · 12 Dec 2007 at 14:39

three difficulties available
easy, casual, hardcore

graphics arnt bad, fair bit of aliasing visible though. framerate is stable for most of the demo, with a few dips here and there
lots of team mate NPCs on screen
destructable environments are good, objects such as walls, small buildings, support work and statues can be blow to bits

good sound effects throughout

its worth a download for sure

edit : found one bug, whilst flying a attack drone if you fly back over your character the body will disppearing leaving just clothes

Just played through the demo. Thought it was ok, nothing special. Lots of friendly NPCs about but they seem pretty useless. I think its similar to COD4/3/2/1 in that there will be constant re-spawns until a certain area is reached/taken.

Will be interesting to see what the final version turns out like!

Cool, been looking forward to this. Frontlines is made by the guys who did the DC mod for BF142 on PC, and that was ace. This is their take on that style of game, looks good from the stuff i've seen of it.

insane200 · 12 Dec 2007 at 20:07

downloading now, hope its good as ivr been looking foward to this.

Wiggis · 13 Dec 2007 at 11:55

If the MP is anywhere near as good as the original Battlefied games or COD4 then this will be a definate purchase.

Aspect · 13 Dec 2007 at 22:15

I really enjoyed the demo, well worth a download!

Gerard · 13 Dec 2007 at 23:36

Gold members only..for a sp demo. :rolleyes:

Zheka · 14 Dec 2007 at 00:48

Great demo, looking forward to the game.

Yas786 · 14 Dec 2007 at 01:26

Not that impressed with the demo...aiming is all over the place but the concept of r/c controlled cars that explode is quite neat. Dont think ill be getting this though.
