oweh... ich hatte das Spiel vor Jahren als Super-Sonderangebot gekauft, aber nie angespielt. Da ich gerade dabei bin, meine Steam Library ein wenig aufzuräumen und altes Gerümpel in 'Hidden' einzusortieren, wollte ich in diesem Zuge den Titel wenigstens mal kurz antesten.

Wie bei einem älteren Titel nicht anders zu erwarten, begrüßt einen das Spiel erstmal mit der Installation einiger uralter Softwarekomponenten, von denen man wenigstens den Punkbuster abwählen kann - nur um dann von einer Message-Box begrüßt zu werden, gemäß derer AGEIA PhyX fehlt (was aber nicht der Fall ist).

Wie schon im Vorfeld bekannt, ist Frontlines in erster Linie ein Multiplayer Game, dessen Server jedoch schon lange abgeschaltet sind. Nachdem ich nachgelesen hatte, dass man tatsächlich einen PhysX Legacy Treiber parallel zur aktuellen Version installieren soll (mit unklaren Aussagen zu möglichen Kompatibilitätsproblemen) und die Einzelkampagne ohnehin nur ca. 5h lang ist (und außerdem sehr bescheiden), habe ich mir dann jeden weiteren Aufwand gespart.

Steam täte sich meines Erachtens einen großen Gefallen, wenn solche speziellen Titel gar nicht mehr angeboten würden, oder zumindest mit einem deutlichen Warnhinweis versehen. Für 1.49 war's OK, für 9.99 hätte ich mich maßlos geärgert.

Zugegeben, ein Spiel runterzuputzen, das man nicht angespielt hat, ist ein bisschen fragwürdig (im Versandhandel gehen mir schlechte Rezensionen, die sich nicht auf das Produkt, sondern die Lieferung beziehen, auch immer mordsmäßig auf den Geist), aber in dem Fall...

Story ist egal. Aber es macht mir einfach Spaß in den Drohnen rumzufliegen. Gameplay macht verdammt Spaß, wenn für einen Shooter eher wie BF3-BF4, TF2 sind. Einfach mal eine schöne Abwechslung.

Jedoch macht der Physx-Treiber manchmal Probleme, da dieser noch für die ersten PhysX-Karten ausgelegt ist und nicht den NVIDIA Treiber verwendet. Installation ist deshalb nicht so einfach. Habe einfach einen neueren Treiber heruntergeladen und vorher den vom Setup entfernt.

Das Spiel ist an sich genial und einzigartig der Singleplayer macht jede menge Spaß aber nach mermaligem Spielen der Story wird der Sinelplayer natürlich auch langweiliger dafür gibt es ja den Online Modus oder... NEIN der Online Multiplayer geht nicht. Die einzige möglichkeit zusammen zu spielen ist nur mit LAN möglich :(. Würde das Spiel noch den Online Multiplayer liefern dan wäre es perfekt. Also wer sich nur für die Story interissiert sollte es sich zuleggen Online Spielern rate ich davon ab das Spiel zukaufen.

Ich fand es vor Jahren echt klasse und auch die Weltkrieg story fand ich ganz realistisch teilweise. Man hat ja immer den Eindruck die Welt steuert früher oder später, den gottes-gleichen Menschen sei Dank, in einen weiteren Weltkrieg, in eine unnötige Spaltung der Gesellschaft in total arm und reich. Ab einem gewissen Punkt ist die kritische Masse erreicht.
Hat Spaß gemacht. Die kleinen Drohnen waren auch ne Abwechslung!

It's an older game but an excellent game. It was the first battlefield type game to come out with destructible environments, drones, moving battlefield lines, etc. It was ahead of it's time. And for some reason it just didn't do well. But its an amazing game. After this game came out Battlefield Bad Company came out with all of the features this game had.

A six hour long campaign that is mediocre with no real take away moments that would bring you back for more. It isn't terrible but nothing to write home about. This was an average arcade shooter when it released and time has not been kind to it.

The gameplay itself is non-linear open level, like Kaos' other title Homefront. Visually it could hold it's own with a 2012 title, good for 2008, but a little rough for 2021. This title was on the cusp of ADS being fully implemented in FPS games. So you have it on rifles, but not pistols. The shooting mechanics are lack luster with a moderate amount of recoil which tends to leave you wanting a better system. The game makes good use of several types of drones which was surprising for a 2008 title and made gameplay a little more interesting.

You do need Nvidia Physx Legacy System Software found here to run this https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/9_12_1031/physx-9-12-1031-legacy-driver/ however, you do not need a Nvidia card, just the software.

The ending leaves room for a sequel but unlike Homefront, Frontlines didn't see one which was to bad. Not a waste of time, but not worth full price. If you're bored and into old shooters, pick it up on a deep sale, otherwise you should skip over this one for something more current and offers more for your money and time.

A very generic FPS with an extremely short campaign. The entire campaign is basically a tutorial preparing you for the multiplayer which is now dead. Honestly a fine game for $5 but otherwise stay away.

The reason I recommend this game is for two reasons. 1) I got this on sale, less than $5 dollars. 2) The game isn't as bad as people say, however there is no longer an online mode keep that in mind. The game had the potential to be something special, it borrowed elements of similar FPS shooters at the time. i swear you'll feel like your playing a mash up of COD, Battlefield, Ghost recon (soldiers outfits and eye wear) Hell, even the Sargent looks like a poor man's version of Marcus Fenix. If you are looking for a shooter with an alt history vibe to it and have a few bucks to spare give it a shot.

This isn't the worst game ever, but if it wasn't already unimpressive at the time of release, there is just no reason to play this nowdays.

A poor man's battlefield in a way, it just does everything poorly. The story and worldbuilding is as generic as it can be. Gunplay is pretty bad, AI is awful, map design goes from bad to ok, it's just not a very pretty package. It's playable, and the concept (basically singleplayer Battlefield conquest mode, often with vehicles and friendly AI) is decent, but in execution, everything is poor.

If the base gunplay was at least decent, then I could cut is some slack, but the problem is, the most comfortable I felt was in vehicles, as your infantry weapons are awful - sniper rifle is probably the best, because it's not affected by the awful recoil. The enemy AI is bad, and they cheat - their guns are not affected by any recoil or spread, and you will get hit by SMGs at the range of a sniper rifle. The singleplayer is short, and while somewhat varied, it never really got to a state where I would consider it good.

A below average experience, not worth it unless you completely ran out of other shooters to play. The novelty of the offline conquest mode from Battlefield is not good enough to sell this game, and it barely even works, given the poor state of friendly AI, which mostly servers as obnoxious distraction, they are barely able to fight the enemy, they mostly just run around you and serve as a mood-building of sorts, that it feels like you have a squad, but most of the time, you do the heavy lifting.

I don't know how Kaos Studios went from this absolute gem to the travesty that was Homefront. The game is pretty old and doesn't look great, but the mechanics are surprisingly modern and the multiplayer was, dare I say it, Battlefield Bad Company 2-esque.

5/10

Graphics
☐ Beautiful
☐ Average
☑ Outdated (even for 2008, this game has poor graphics and textures)

Gameplay
☐ Very Fun
☑ Average (run of the mill military action shooter, you know what to expect nothing out of the ordinary)
☐ Repetitive

Audio
☐ High quality
☐ Average
☑ Poor (the audio mixing seems all over the place, sometimes works well, others some things are way too loud)

Difficulty
☐ Very Hard
☑ Average
☐ Too Easy

Story
☐ Amazing
☑ Average (not the worst military action shooter out there, iv'e played worse, but it won't blow your mind either as it's pretty hard to follow)
☐ Low quality

Bugs
☐ None
☑ A Couple (shadow bugs, & some assets seem to render poorly disappearing. cell load bug perhaps?)
☐ Gamebreaking Bugs

Pros
-Deployment system, you have limited attempts at each mission adding some challenge if you do die a lot, (game isn't hard enough for this to be effective though)
-A variety of action sequences, both on the ground, in vehicle and in air, a nice mix here.
-Open ended maps, where you can explore, though don't expect open world.
-Deployable drones, heavy mg turrets, and heavy rc drones (mini tanks) great feature.
-Squadmates will call out enemy locations, makes for more immersive gameplay especially helpful on hard difficulty when on low health.
-Enemy choppers are pose an actual threat to the player, especially if you are infantry

Cons

-Off the bat the game doesn't support current current Nvidia Physx Drivers, you will need to uninstall current, and use the old legacy drivers (check pc gamerwiki)
-60 fps cap, though i would imagine the engine doesn't support above this, i still like to have the option to un-cap (just glad it isn't 30).
-Doesn't support 21:9 or multi monitor setups (it is an old game so i don't expect it to,
-Poor console fov, hard for me to play games this low, makes me ill. this however, can be edited through the config (refer to pcgamerwiki)
-Weapons (assault rifles) have poor accuracy at long to medium range, pistol works best for me.
-Can't pick up enemy weapons
-Redeploy can sometimes put you in front of enemies, getting you insta killed on max difficulty.
-Enemy have rediculous aimbot, though this was common for 2008, a sign of poor Ai programming, (shooting through bushes, all shooting at you & ignroing team etc)
-Explosions are locked at 30fps, very noticeable as the game runs at 60 by default.

Summery

Frontlines Fuel of war, is set in the near future 2024, where oil supplies have run dry and nations are fighting over the last reserves, in this case russia has joined with china to create 'The red star' faction, you play on the side of the coalition.
this is the basic premis, the story is pretty hard to follow, and when people die you dont feel anything as they haven't been built up.
it's for the most part your average 'call of duty' style action military shooter, using similar puns that have been bled dry through countless movies over the years to the point i want to bang my head against a wall.
Nevertheless, i did have a bit of fun for what i payed for it, so for that reason it's not the worst game action shooter ive played.
Fun Fact, some of the sound effect were later reused in homefront 1, (objective update sfx sound VERY similar if not the same) i noticed them right off the bat, checked the developer and to my surprise kaos studios, the same dev from the 1st homefront, not sure what to make of that.
unfortunately, it Doesn't support 21:9 or multi monitor setups (it is an old game so i don't expect it to) so it does stretch hud elements etc, being the niche game it is, i couldn't find a 21:9 fix which i usually can for older titles.
I like that the game doesn't just put you on the ground for the entire game, putting the player in both infantry sections, vehicle, and air sections where as most of these games only give one perspective (infantry) so it shows effort which i like.
mission structure however is quite similar often revolving around CTF (capture the flag) type scenarios. think battlefront 2 classic, a sandbox map style with vehicles you can use for objectives, though some can't be entered.

-Even with the bugs and dislikes it's Worth a purchase on a sale, as some fun can still be had here.

Well its an fps so you shoot people they die just like every fps game ever, this one is brown because it from the 360/ps3 era but it is fun there are some fun weapons the remote control helicopter gunship being a highlight. Story is B movie level but one of those late night cable movies you have no idea why your watching but you keep watching because its that bad that its good. Sound design is pretty good weapons feel like they have weight. Price is a sticking point i picked up back when steam used to do those crazy flash sales think i paid 48 pence for this at under 2 quid its worth it. However its normal asking price of 14.99 nope you could buy better games for that cash. 6/10 mediocre

A product of its time, I wouldn't say this game was underrated because in all honesty the reviews have always been a mixed bag for this game. Gameplay isn't bad, but there's nothing special about it that really warrants it coming back to play a second time. The campaign is fun, but not very difficult, very short, and with little to no replay value. The multiplayer is dead and it's pretty obvious from the way the campaign is structured that multiplayer was the biggest focus here. Pick it up on sale or something and you can revisit the nostalgia, but it was mediocre then and has not aged very well.

I played this when it first came out on the X-Box 360 and I really enjoyed it, I should have left it like that.
12 years on and I didnt enjoy it games have moved on a lot since then and what did'nt help is I found the guns to be inaccurate.
Also having read some of the reviews why are people complaining that the multiplayer servers are shut down its a 12 year old game.
