Frontlines: Fuel of War for PC

[Drinkyoghurt]

I played the beta


to put it like this

the graphichs are ok
the gameplay is ok/poor(because you can just camp and use heli's etc, or just rush and kill 10 people before you get killed)
some maps are big --> a big plus, but it's nothing like the maps of Crysis

all in all it's an ok game, but not something i'd spend $50 on

Meh, I checked out the gameplay trailers, I'm not impressed.

I disagree. The single player in frontlines is terrible. There is no character development and you are just thrown into missions. The blast radius on most of the exploding weapons sucks pretty bad. You can shoot a tank round near the ground of an enemy and he isnt even phased. You can never run out of ammo because there are ten million crates everywhere and you have a giant arsenal of weapons and air strikes to destroy the enemy. . you cant lose!

play the special PC single player map and try not to lose

The next time I'm stuck in the desert with a few gallons of water, I'm going to battle it out with my friend in steam powered vehicles for control over the last few gallons of, oh wait, steam powered durrr. What an incredibly stupid premise.

If you've actually played it instead of complaining about premises, you'd know that they mention that.

i thought the graphics could have been better, but maybe because the environment is so big they didn't care much about like the land being more textured.

I don't like when you zoom up on someone, for some reason somthing looks wrong to me. Compared to COD4, it seems more realistic when you zoom to shoot someone.

But its still a good concept but I probably won't buy it.

From what I've been reading....to sum it up......its "meh"

Just got a copy today. Hope multi is fun...

Random trivia for you related to purchasing on steam and not paying sales tax:

While filing my taxes this year (I'm a resident of California) I noticed a section for something called "Use Tax". The description read that you must pay Use Tax on anything you purchase out of state (thereby avoiding California Sales Tax) and use/consume in California. So I guess technically you can't avoid a sales-like tax

Edit: lol I just looked up the rate for Use Tax in CA: its 7.25% so I guess you save 1%
