Frontlines: Fuel of War gets Update for 50-player Onlineby Eric Bush
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. - June 23, 2008 - THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced Frontlines™: Fuel of War™ has released a title update enabling all multiplayer maps to support up to 50-player online battles on Xbox Live®, the highest player count to date for online console game-play. The epic 50-player warfare features an extensive variety of map sizes, intense ground combat, land vehicles and high powered helicopters and jets, revolutionizing what’s possible for large-scale online console game-play. Along with the increased player count for all available maps, the title update includes several new features based on fan requests that Kaos studios fulfilled. These include a new spawn protection system, as well as expanded voice-over-IP communications, which includes squad to squad chat, proximity, and inter-vehicle communication, for all 50 players.
In addition to the 50-player title update, THQ unveiled plans to release a new multiplayer Conquer Mode, as well as several all-new maps throughout 2008, providing compelling content for the growing online community. The first of these maps, Boneyard, is set to be released on Xbox Live Marketplace early summer 2008. Additional content will focus on new near future weapons, vehicles, and advancing the game’s near-future story premise; pitting the Red Star Alliance and Western Coalition against each other over the world’s dwindling oil supply.

It has a lot of potential, but the weapons don't feel right, the servers were messed up for the first several weeks after release, the online play is really jittery, the lag is sometimes unbearable, and it didn't ship with that many maps. I still like it, but many of the initial players bailed after only a couple weeks, so I sold the game back. To compare, Battlefield feels a lot more poished (odd since EA is not known for polish), although Battlefield has only half of the max player count that Frontlines has and just as few of initial release maps. |

Playing its demo when it was out was really good and enjoyable, but i always just forgot to buy the game. Now with 50-players, sounds like much more reason to get it. |
