Frontlines setting new online records

February 17, 2008 in News comments 12

Kaos and THQ seems to want the online crown with their new shooter. They've set the cap to 50 players on some servers, even hitting 73 during testing. 50 beats the current console record held by Resistance, though Resistance 2 is planning 60-player matches.

Thanks to using their own dedicated servers, the Xbox 360 version of Kaos Studios’ upcoming Frontlines: Fuel of War was initially advertised as having 32-player online matches - already a record on Xbox LIVE. But now they devs have apparently raised the cap to 50 players, and are aiming for more.

    There's just one problem, the game isn't that fun...

      I thought the same initially, but after playing for a while, it gets pretty fun. I just hope it's not a $60 game.

      25 vs 25 would be pretty cool though.

        Really? The only thing I found fun were the RC helicopters. Also, what the hells up with the default sensitivity? It takes you an hour to turn around.

    It was only the demo we played though, i was watching gamertv early on and they gave it 9/10. In the final game it has vehicles, more weapons and maps stretching over 4 mile .

      Lol I saw that too. I thought it looked quite solid, plus the big multiplayer modes seem quite appealing to me. Might give it a rent when it comes out.

    I played the MP demo,and this game PWNs! I love the copter drone the best

    The real copters are the best(and most overused) veichles, next to tanks and convoys. Online is ADDICTINGLY PWNGE.

    (anyone who says this game suxerz, download the MP demo, and RENT the game)

        It means you will play and play and play and never ever stop because it is fun. It's like a WoW addiction

          Its really really fun online.

          The copter pwns all.

          THeres just so much you can do on the big maps.

          e.g
          Fight on the ground and take points.
          Go around in tannks blowing crap up
          Picking people up and dropping them off at bases
          going in the copter and sooting crap up.

          YOU EVEN GET A PARACHUTE!!!!

    It reminds me of a re-vamped Battlefield 2: Modern Combat with the different weapon classes and weapons.

    And the whole "boring as hell single-player, fun as hell multiplayer" thing.

    The match I was in was pretty laggy, and it was extremely boring having only 6 people playing on such a gigantic open map.
