CrazyCougar,

  One thing that really disturbed me was the lack of communcations from Kaos concerning Vehicles in the MP Demo vs. Online descriptions.  Taken from www.frontlines.com:

 

WC Attack Heli - pilot should have only rockets, no secondary missiles

RSA Attack Heli - pilot has a front mounted autocannon, as well as the gunner - apparently to balance out the helis

WC Light Tank - it states that it can also carry 6 passengers

RSA Light Tank - states that it has a gunner position as well, with missiles - however no countermeasures

 

Do you recall how the title release compared with the descriptions on the game's main web site??

 

Thanks,

Dan

man, i really need an answer on the whole communications issue.  If something hasnt been tweaked about it, then this isnt a must-buy for me anymore Atleast until they fix it.

Dan, I will go online with my son in a few hours when he gets home from school and confirm the vehicles specs you are looking for.

basically the same as everyone else.  Hoping for some kind of squad-to-squad communication or proximity chat.  Its almost impossible to be tactical as a team when all you have is 4v4v4v4v4v4v4v4s going on lol

True. I don't think that there will be a squad-to-squad communication, but hopefully there will be. I'd ask CrazyCougar if he would check on that for you

I will test out the squad to squad communication as well once my son gets home from school. I'll let ya know guys.

Crazy I was wondering how the jets feel in the game. It seemed to me like in the videos the jets looked a little bit on the slow side . I know they could have been going at a slower speed then is possible in the video so just wanted to know. Also how do they handle overall?

thanx man.  They really need to address this if its the same as the demo.  I just dont understand how they could overlook that issue.  It really hinders the tactical/teamwork aspect.

I will embarrassingly admit this...It took me quite a few tries to even get the dang thing off the ground! Then I also took quite a few nose dives into the ground once in the air! LOL!

I personally prefer the attack chopper as it handles much nicer and seems easier to control. To me the jet seemed a bit tougher in the control scheme, but then again I may not be the one to ask after my display of quite horrid piloting. I think some folks will find the jets to their liking, but one thing I noticed is that I seemed to leave the battlefield quite bit when actually able to fly the thing. Again it may all be due to my poor skills as a jet fighter pilot.. Speed wise, they dont seem like they are doing Mach 2 or anything and if compared to Ace Combat they will probably feel slow.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Well, considering the jets are the most powerful pieces on the map, I would assume they take the highest amount of skill to master.  Unfortunately, the lines will be long for the jets, and the skill will be low for most people, for a long while.  Oh well, more targets for the AA!!

I'm really looking forward to finally having some anti-aircraft vehicles to use.

Well the ground did come at me pretty fast when I was doing nose dives...LOL!

Honestly, they do have a sense of speed, especially when compared to the likes of the chopper.Objective points seem to come and pass fairly quickly when flying across the SolarFarm map. You can cut back throttle and increase throttle. Its easier to target things when going slower, so maybe thats what the videos portrayed. But honestly, you probably wont be disappointed in the sense of speed.

1 question for me also. since solarfarm is such a huge map. does each frontline have 3 or 4 objectives or does the action still happen around 2?

---

i have quit playing xbox. c ya!

Some maps include 3 objectives on the initial frontline. SolarFarm and Invasion would be 2 maps right off the bat I can think of. I cant recall of any that have 4 to start the intial frontline movement.

Why would someone lose their job over an error in the process. Pitt happens

Cougar.. That's awesome you have the game already  and I appreciate your answers to the questions that all of us nuts have been asking. 

 

my only dissapointment with the game is the lack of a pre game lobby where you can see what players are on which sides  so it's easier for your friends to find you  and try and get on your side, Set up squads there and then spawn in the game with that part already setup.. instead of spawning an having to spend 15 to 20 important seconds trying to setup your squads and seeing if your buddy is on your side of the game or not.

 

I have one question I am curious about..  Can you check to see on any map with jeeps if the 1st person driver's seat view is enabled on the 360 version or not?  The one where you see the steering wheel, dashboard and windown while driving...

 

You see it on video's but no one has answered it that's just for PC  or enabled on the game or not.

---

You, You & You.. Follow Me.. The rest of you..Stay here and panic!

Hey Cougar 2 questions i need answering have the overall graphics from the multiplayer demo been kind of polished for the full game and is there a first person view in jeeps so i can see the steering wheel.

full game always has better graphics than a downloadable demo. i think.... but he did mention that everything you found in the demo is the same in the full game. i think there is no 1rst person driving.

Cougar!

Thanks for the info!  You're doing what Kaos SHOULD have done.

1. Has Kaos modified the small arms lethality? Specifically, does it still take lots of rounds to kill infantry with SMGs, Assault Rifles, LMG, etc.

2. Does the SMG still out range the Assault Rifle? Does the AR still out range the LMG?

Thanks!!!

Hey War, I am assuming that you are referring to the Hummer? If so, no there is no first person view for the driver. Only a first person view for the gunner. If you are not referring to the Hummer, my apologies, and I will look deeper into the maps for what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to play with anyone in the full retail over the weekend as there was absolutely no one on...LOL. So I cannot confirm whether it remains 4 player or it has increased. In the future, help me to get a copy so I can help you review the game in its entirety. Help me help you.

I assume the single player improved over the demo since it was an older build.  Is it at awful as the reviewers indicate?  I honestly found the single player decent in the demo despite the recoil heavy weapons and the ruddier graphics.

I guess my general impression of the single player if more of a tutorial to prepare you for online play. You get to familiarize yourself with weapons, roles, etc. The single player is not terrible, but one play through will probably be enough for most everyone. I only played on the normal difficulty, and it seemed fairly easy. While I did die several times, most was due to my own fault or impatience when storming an objective. So with that said, the single player could be fairly easy for most folks even on the higher difficulty.

Also when in the jet and you are missle locked do you eject out of the jet or do you just parachute out.
