If you get it from steam you better read this.

FrontLines: Fuels of war reminds me of BF2 and from what I've seen it looks like a good buy. Even the bugs remind me of BF2 :wtf::roll:

Wow, you cannot pickup weapons in this game. A guy drops his weapon on the ground, you see it but cannot pick it up or use the ammo from it. Keys don't always function properly. I will apply the latest patch. I also noticed that I cannot enable AA in this game.

* OpenAL32.dll version 6.14.357.22
* wrap_oal.dll version 2.1.8.1
The above needs to be replaced as they are old
Update found here

Same here, new setup just took use of all my funds. I played BF2 like crazy, and this game is supposed to be similar in a unique way. I definitely will be trying the demo, and maybe scrounge up a few bucks to buy the game if I like it. :D

It's not bad once you get use to the fact that some of the enemies will drop some awesome weapons you cannot pickup and use. :(

Scored a few kills within the first 3 minutes of the game online. Lag doesn't appear to be a problem.

I like it.......but MAN it has it's issues.
Doesn't support (yet)
Crossfire/SLI
AA
Joysticks
VOIP
.......wow that's some major stuff, eh?
Here are some other complaints:
Aircraft handle like CRAP. THey're really inconsistent, and have really strange physics.......I'm a really good pilot in all the BF games, but this one is killing me.
Crossfire has a strange flickering texture bug, but I bet it will be fixed by the 8.3 Catalysts that are arriving tomorrow.
There aren't that many servers.
There is a server browser bug that causes the list to jump up/down when you're trying to scroll down, setting you back about a page up worth.

I'm running it at 1680x1050 at 60 FPS. However smooth frame rate is enabled (from UT3) and I cannot find the command to disable it in the FFengine.ini file

Benchmark Scores WORKING IN PROGRESS P10464 in VANTAGE(this is the old score)
so in last weekend I ended the game in single player :)

and a simple bug that I found is a clipping shadows all the time.

I mention that I run on 3870x2 on vista x64

the game is very generous with open spaces, more sniper position and have a partial destructible scene :)

I also believe that the weapon damage are totally out from reality :)
Also the bullets don't hit a bot that stay behind a wall.

but is fun to play, I believe that will be more players that COD4 have.

I don't found in the game any claymore, or anti personal mine, or wire mine
