[ PC ] Frontlines: Fuel of War ( BETA , Multiplayer ) 2008

My personal review:

One of the best games to be played online right now! It makes you remind of Counter Strike sometimes as you play trough the whole game. Still, a very fresh game with some revolutionary concepts in its gameplay! Just play it and enjoy all what it has to offer...I bet that you will do! Remember this, this game will only be released on February and it is already here on a BETA Version =D


Gamespot review:

We've had a chance on a couple of occasions in the past to play Frontlines: Fuel of War, and we've been suitably impressed by what we've seen each time. This week, we sat down with an exclusive Xbox 360 build of the game to play through the first four levels of the single-player campaign and to check out the latest multiplayer build from Kaos Studios.

The Frontlines universe and backstory are centered on the struggle and war over fuel in a world depleted of natural resources. While the game is set in 2024, the opening cinematic includes current world political figures such as President George W. Bush. Information on the war, and its causes and consequences, is conveyed through an embedded reporter who tags along explaining updates as new intel comes to light. You take on the role of a Western Coalition soldier charged with fighting the enemy. In this case, the enemy is the Red Star Alliance, a future grouping of Russia and China. The two join forces in the hopes of securing the last available oil deposits in the Caspian, and naturally the United States and the European Union get together on the counteroffensive to make sure that if anyone gets the oil deposits, it will be them (and yes, this does smack of Cold War Part II).

With the scene set and the lines drawn in the sand, the campaign opens with you and your team--the "Stray Dogs"--relieving Alpha Team at an oil refinery in Turkmenistan. Hostiles shoot your chopper down, and you're forced to defend its charred remains and what's left of your squad. Once that's completed, you're given the choice of one of two new missions: locate and destroy a SAM (surface-to-air missile) site on a rooftop, or capture an enemy armory. You will need to finish both to progress through the level, but you are given the choice of the order you'd like to do them in. In some cases you may also find that completing one objective over another gives you an advantage by supplying you with a vehicle or weapon that makes the next part easier. Choice plays a big role in Frontlines, and while the first level is quite linear and your objective options are limited, past here you're often given up to six or seven tasks to complete in expansive environments at your discretion.

Level two--titled Captains of Industry--sees you infiltrate a town before needing to capture and hold multiple points. Here your skills will diversify slightly. You'll need to not only secure ammo supply points, but also hack a computer to gain access to Red Star Alliance tank blueprints. After destroying another SAM site, you'll be airlifted some armoured tank support, which can be used to destroy enemy vehicles blocking your way. Once they're eliminated, you'll move on to secure and disable a tank manufacturing factory, stemming the flow of war machines. You're free to make the trip on foot should you choose to ditch your tank for something a little speedier and portable (such as a shoulder rocket), although obviously you'll be slightly more vulnerable.

As in other modern shooters, you'll get the opportunity to choose a specific "class" before heading out into the field, although Frontlines takes a somewhat different approach since it lets you mix up your weaponry with class-specific abilities (or as they're called in the game, roles). While you can choose classes such as assault, heavy assault, sniper, antivehicle, special ops, and close combat, at the end of the day they're really just different loadout options. From there, you'll have to choose a role, which grants you specific abilities that can be upgraded as you progress through a match. The ground support role, for example, gives you perks such as the ability to repair vehicles or deploy turrets. The air support role lets you call in surgical air strikes initially and eventually levels up to large-scale cluster bombing. The EMP tech role can hide you from radar and will allow you to disable enemy vehicles, while the drone tech role lets you use Frontlines' many mini remote-controlled vehicles to scout, attack, or disable enemies.
