Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

Hopefully we'll see some modified and re-named versions of the old DC maps

The developers have already hinted at this on the forums. Well, they said they would, but it was in a kind of sarcastic manner, so I'm not really sure if they were serious.

And the best part is EA won't be there to rush the release making it end up as buggy as BF2.

EA really shot themselves in the foot, shin and thigh by ****ing about with the trauma guys

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

frank does excellent work - he did the opening fighter scene in Lost in Space and also the X-wing for X-men.

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

I am pretty sure they will be using Unreal 3 as the base engine. THQ has announced that all their studios will be using it.

Unreal 3 will stomp all over BF2...

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

This is great news for the community simply because it pressures EA to release a better product.

The more competition, the better. Why only 60 weapons/vehicles? Why not 90+ like Soldner was doing..too bad it was riddled with glitches, the game was a definite overall winner.

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

Looks interesting, the fact that memebers of Orginal DC are there so I'd like to see where it goes.

Now if only former Westwood employees would make a C&C game right......I can only wish

This is good, will be looking into it.

Ooh yea.. soldier was a winner. Too bad it was so bug infested. One of my favorite features in the game was the hand gestures you could make. Like how you could flip somebody off lol.

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

well we need to w8 4 some videos then we can look how is the game's physics.I dont want to play this like Joint Operations physics.
If this game proves himself good then the EA's BF2142 project will be screwed!
EDIT:dang i read all the Overview now and i see that if BF2142 will be released in this summer then the frontlines fuel of war will be released fall 2007 well the BF2142 will over played by then and all forgets the BF2142 existence to the fall 2007!
I will be 18 to the time when this is released and i think that i will forget that title to that time!

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War Announced

Frank Delise is a genius, did miracles with the bf42 engine, back then there was no good looking editor and the tools that BF2 has. It was really hard to get things done. He worked really hard on DC with updates fixes and it was 100X better than EA support. This is EA fault, they didn’t take care of the business and I was hopping that an other company manage to get in to the market of this kind of games.

I trust on Frank, hell, I played 2700 hours of his mod and it was for free. I can’t even imagine what he can do with a budget. We all noticed the difference on DC when he left the team. DC.7 > CD Final.
