Frontlines - Fuel of War PC Game Review

Black Gold



The argument is as individual as little weight as expected, and puts us in the shoes of a soldier involved in the clash of the Red Star and the China-Soviet Union in the umpteenth re-release of the compact-communist alliance against a Western seeking to address them. The reason for the conflict is the gradual depletion of oil fields in the Middle East, and the, game, game review, review,, game review, fierce struggle between two factions for control of the few surveys that continue to make profits fuel.



The operation of the campaign and multiplayer tour takes us to the stage from one point to another of them, fulfilling the various objectives that we are entrusted. In essence Frontlines is virtually identical to a Battlefield, leaving, game review, clearly influences and roots of Kaos Studios. Maps points to capture, game review, whether to place explosive charges, gain resources, or take the property of the enemy bases. The campaign, for example, is about a little over 6 hours and is comprised of a number of levels -8-divided into several specific goals each.



These targets are usually cut very similar, and may end up conveying a certain feeling of monotony, since no other game modes available only to supply the title.



The campaign is not very neat and it would be inconsistent both in terms of argument as playable. The in principle moderately interesting, game review, story is not exploited at all, and some defects in the enemy's artificial intelligence and the passivity of our colleagues may end up resulting in a very, game review, unsatisfactory experience.



And is that a lot of Kaos Studios claim that they had to conduct a competent campaign, the truth is that it seems that very few elected-Call, game review, of Duty 4, for example,, game review, are able to combine a powerful multiplayer mode with, game review, a similar Singleplayer, game review, terms of quality.



The main attraction is its undisputed Frontlines Multiplayer epic, as is well known, allows the simultaneous presence in PC of up, game review, to 50 players simultaneously.



Massive Scale



In the maps for Frontlines to support 50 players must be huge, but the game always looking to maintain his composure in a series of points to focus on fighting locations.

Similarly, game review, the great spectacle of fire, armored vehicles, helicopters and other paraphernalia will test our connections and dedicated servers that THQ has made available to all users with the intention of experiencing the fewest possible problems of lag.

The radial menu will, game review, help us find a comfortable way of the gun you want on the battlefield, up to eight simultaneous, and in terms of control of vehicles it is very intuitive and fast, with the exception of air, something more sophisticated in their management.



Each of the roles we can take on very different battles including heavy weapons,, game review, signaling targets, anti-tank specialist, etc-up to three levels of experience, and as we reached we unlock the various special abilities that make us soldiers more effective on the battlefield.



Future Gray



Graphically Frontlines is a product that does not dazzle, nor much, game review, less, but the manner that complies with its intention to move to a future dark, gloomy and uprooted. Using Unreal Engine 3.0 and without the need for a night or rainy environments Fuel of War conveys the sensation of something to spare to place these futuristic gray buildings that dot the vast deserts.



The modeling of the characters meets the minimum quality that we seek for a next-gen title, but the animations could have, game review, been much more polished.



The textures are poor, and the effects are not particularly noteworthy, but the whole is more than acceptable.



Technological issue in the game is more irregular and performance optimization in terms of Pc leaves much to be desired. The frames per second rate is low and the game is very demanding in terms of hardware for, game review, what it offers, especially considering what you see on screen is no wonder, "and accuses the title, game review, if you have severe slowdowns high options visual representation of the, game review, vegetation.



Bet for the game partially destructible environments that significantly enriches the fighting, however, the criterion which can be damaged and what not is quite debatable, and often surprises us a solid coverage apparently collapses before the shooting and another in top lighter that resists smoothly.



The sound is a notable point that fulfills its functions in a, game review, very good one. The effects of gunfire and explosions sounded fierce timely and powerful in equal parts, the soundtrack fits without shine, and the dubbing is a little lower but not too many lines of dialogue is not revealed as a significant weakness
