THQ week on Steam

I played the SP player on a 360. Not brilliant, but I did enjoy what there was. Am considering it at this price.

Always tempted to buy it again, every time I see it :)
 
ive had frontlines fuel of war since release and it is a pretty good game.

the multi-player is dead now but the single player is still good.

worth the money.
 
Frontlines SP is good IMO, in fact it's probably the best of any of this sort of game I've played (Battlefield/Battlefront series). I wrote a minireview in another thread:

Just completed this, wasn't expecting a great deal (got it in some THQ pack I bought on Steam a while back) but it turns out that it is actually a pretty good game. Graphically it looks decent, excellent framerate and is different enough from standard shooters (drones etc) to keep it interesting. If I'm honest I'd have to say that I enjoyed the SP more than Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the weapons just feel good (in terms of aiming) although maybe a little underpowered.

On the downside the missions are largely repetitive, basically you either have to control an area or plant a demo charge on something and blow it up for 90% of the objectives. The claim of "non-linear gameplay" is nothing short of outrageous; choosing which objective to go for first is about the extent of the freedom. It's also not the longest game, approx 5hrs gameplay time which although fairly short is certainly no less than the likes of Crysis Warhead or the Modern Warfare games - when the action is intense it is more forgivable.

All in all I would definitely recommend this game to FPS junkies in search of their next fix, maybe wait for it to crop up in steam deals again (has been £3.74 on it's own or in the THQ packs).
 
anybody played frontlines on windows 7? There are some people reporting problems.

Windows 7 x64 here, plays fine.

Again, another one who has had this since launch and you can still nearly allways find at least one busy server with a low ping.

For anyone interested, the weapons are great fun.

I really liked the single player campaign, fairly original in parts too.
