Fronlines Multiplayer Low Down

Well the Frontlines: Fuel of War MP Demo was just realeased on the xbox live market place this week and man all I can say is this is my dream game. It supports 32 players online. It mixes the basic weapon set changes like Call of Duty seiries with 4 roles you can choose. With all the options team play works out amazingly well. I'll give you an example. There is a friendly sniper by you looking for enemys. You can hide behind cover a realease a Recon Drone (a remote controled heli) to mark enemys for the sniper. The sniper can kill these target giving him the abbility to call in a cluster bomb attack and he uses it on the enemys caping the objective. So then a tank roles up. Someone with emp tech can disable it while somone with a rocket launcher blows it up. Now the enemy is making a push. A feild commander can lay down a greanade machine gut turret and lay waste to the approaching enemy. Team play is the KEY to victory. The way the game works is there is a frontline and your team will have two objectives they need to do. If they complete them the frotline moves up. Your goal is to push the fronline to a certain point and you will win the game. This game has the most amazing sniping on 360 yet. It is very much like battlefeild 2 for pc. There is a fog about 215m away from your character. And there are leads in affect. You can also piolt planes and helicopter and sky dive out to get you to high places to give you an edge sniping. This ended up being great for me seeing that I snipe for my clan. The way the communication work is through forming squads. Puch the d-pad up form a squad and you can invite 4 people from your team to communicate. I can see why they did this but they should have upped squad size to 5 or 6. The only problems I have ran into was with the parachute and ladders. Twise I have gotten stuck from langing funny on a pipe or ladder. I had to wait out the rest of the game both times because it would not let me redeploy. Luckly there where only 2 mins or so left in each game when this happened. The second problem is geting up ladders. You make it all the way to the top of an oil tower only to do the upey downey and fall to your death. What i mean is you kind of lag up and down the ladder when you get to the top because they are ones you exit off the side so it takes time to master getting off the ladder. Othere than that it is a great game and I can't wait untill Feb. 25th when this game is set to realease. You can find this demo on the marketplace right now!
