Video: HIGH REZ: www.gametrailers.com/player/24050.html?type=LOW REZ: www.gametrailers.com/player/24051.htmlwww.gametrailers.com/player/21858.htmlafter bf1942 was released it was quickly followed by a mod: Desert Combat. Many of us are familiar with it ;D Seeing skill and potential the evil overlord corporation we know as Electronic Arts, or "EA", promptly hired the mod's developers to incorporate them with DICE and produce BF2. The members of the former desert combat mod team quickly wizened to EA's suppressive regime after the release of BF2 and left to create their own development studio, which they christened "KAOS studios. Their Just-Released game, "Frontlines: Fuel of War" is their version of a BF2 sequel. I haven't bought it yet at the time of posting but have been watching it's progress for over a year.

Pretty things are nice and all, but I like a girl with a bit of personality, some brains maybe? Any in-game footage?

plenty of in game footage at www.gametrailers.complaying it first hand... i'm really enjoying it online. the objective mechanics make the combat much more focused than the battlefield series and it's got a singleplayer campaign (abeit a weak one) to get you familiarised with the maps.

the game's still a bit buggy, but i'm sure once the patches are released things will get better, the campaign mode isnt as fun as online gaming, but it sure raises some good points... (story wise i mean)
nice story it has, closer to home than you'd think about the recent oil crisis in the world.

asking for help in the FOW forums is a waste of time, the mods just tell you to fob off or read other posts... Even though i've told em i've tried all the files available, AND attached the log files after installing each patch!!
