Largest online multiplayer game to date for the 360. 32 and 50 player servers that are usually full all the time. :D

If your a fan of vehicle on vehicle action (sounds hot does not it?), then this is your game as the most populated servers are the 2 biggest maps with the most vehicles. If you don't care for vehicles that much and you would rather run n gun and snipe, then you may want to pass. It's very hard to populate a map with few or no vehicles in it. The game has a loyal cult following (for a lack of better term), but it's made up of people who are just satisfied with playing the same 2 maps over and over which has always annoyed me. I'm not a single player type of guy, but I was very impressed with it. It's short, but sweet. If you can get it at a bargain bin price, then it's worth it. To answer your question if there are alot of people playing it; there is enough to be able to still find a game, but only if you like playing Solar Farm and Oil Field, any other map then I would have to say no.

 Lately the games have been really good and a nice variety of maps.

 Seems like the people who are still playing this game are finally all here because they like the game. 'cept for a few @ssh@ts who have to cheat. But now people are actually playing Wide Awake and Infiltration...people who would normally quit those maps to go play in a bomber for hours on end. It is nice to have full rooms on ALL the maps with good solid players.......'cept for the invisible @ssh@ts

Good stuff lately

Holy crap, people are actually playing Wide Awake? Whee! I can finally pilot a transport chopper around there.

Unranked only because there was never a reason to play ranked. Unranked keeps the same stats as ranked. Kind of pointless really.

Multiplayer is a blast online, and there are still a fair amount of people all. You'll always be able to find full servers.

Re: multiplayer


scottdjoker 06-24-2009, 10:54 PM
Are there online multi achievements in unranked matches?
 

Re: multiplayer


VastShadowz41 06-24-2009, 11:06 PM
Nope. As a matter of fact the only reason anyone would play the ranked matches would be for the online achievements. Luckily I got mine in the early days of Frontlines when people actually did play Ranked. But now it's all exclusively Unranked.

I wouldn't worry about it though. You can always get the noob cheevo easily enough. :P

Because it was overshadowed by Bad Company, but it was still a pretty good success for Kaos's first game. They're done supporting it except for server issues and the like but still a fun game to play.

No frontlines Part 2 then ?

Re: multiplayer


VastShadowz41 06-25-2009, 4:18 AM
Not for now. Kaos Studios' next game is Homefront, involving American Resistance forces fighting North Korean occupation in the good ol U S of A. You can browse around the forums here for trailers and such, but we don't have very much information yet.

DaiBoOk 06-25-2009, 2:28 PM
their are cheevo for unranked.. the ones that specify ranked matches can only be gotten there the rest in unranked.
we need to just state a time/day in prime each week to play ranked. I've played a few lately just by jumping in and messing around till it filled up..mainly just to play *cough*HINDSIGHT*cough* cause their is no dedicated servers for that map <---cheap plug here Wink [;)]

And this, sadly, is the reason MIND BULL3TS shall never grace the skies in his.... $hit I cant even remember the name of the plane I used practically be a part of... Ahh yes the Beastly Kobra....

So did they ever fix those rotation servers (DLC) where you could only play 2, 15 minute rounds when you finally flipped the server to HINDSIGHT?

This is what drove me to trade it in... We would spend 30 minutes flipping the server to get to hindsight, only to discover it was only 15 minute rounds... and only 2 of them... And of course one of those rounds would be ended by some idiot taking the last point...

I still shed a tear every day for my long lost Frontlines... You can even still see it in my played games blocks... Oh Frontlines...  So far away,  but only a few games in between us! COME BACK!

If I happened to buy it back (I really thought I would never trade it in, I bought it DAY ONE) would I ever be able to return to my baby (KOBRA) for more than 15 minutes?

Come back Bull3ts!  The Kobra's are warmed up and waiting for you, as is your beloved nemesis the AA rocket.

Whadda you on about garrett,  I can easily go 50 + kills sniping on the vehicle maps !

Frontlines is still an awsome game,  hard to get bored with all the things and play styles you can get upto !

My best round as a sniper I was 63-12. Now I can't hit anything with that gun. Too much lag even in green pings nowadays. Assault all the way.

I heard this game is a lot like the Battlefield series, so I wanna try it.. is it good if I just wanna run and gun and sometimes use vehicle?
IDK what to put here.

Re: multiplayer


TardWrangler 07-10-2009, 6:20 PM
It's a lot faster and smoother than the Battlefield games.

There is always an abundance of vehicles. Running and gunning will get you killed a lot though pretty often you get forced into a run-n-gun situation by all the insanity going on around you.

I've played MC, BC and 1943 and Frontlines destroys them all. It's an absolute travesty this game hasnt become at least as popular as the BF garbage is.

Plus it's cheaper than 1943.
