EDIT: FFOW = Frontlines Fuel of War
For those of you saving 50 bucks for this game.....keep saving.
I read reviews saying how the single player story mode felt like a console and that was an understatement. Even on max graphics everythinged seems kind've cartoony. I haven't finished the single player because despite the neat gadgetry, it's all just unimagitive
go here to this which will unlock this to funnel you to this point where you're sure to get this gadget to unlock this gate to lead you to here where you get a tank too and so on and so scripted gameplay.
The multi player aspect is what I bought this for and I must say is fun.....when I've been able to play. Blowing up people with remote control cars, raining down artillery and owning infantry, jeeps, tanks and choppers from half a map away with a rail gun emplacement is fun. But I haven't been able to play due to spazzing multiplayer lists and not being able to connect to the main server and join rooms. I've only played in three rooms and I did like it but I'm rather irritated that I spent 50 clams and am not able to play now. Something has changed and now I can only do a single refresh of the server lists and not join a single room, not even using the direct "Join IP" button that had been working before.
My opion:
Single player: I guess since I didn't play it for more than half an hour, I can't really say it totally sucks, just from what I've experienced it doesn't seem like it's going to get any more interesting and most reviews I've read say as much also. Y2K graphics.
Multi-player: Fun, I like killing people dozens of different ways. Toys, toys, and more toys to use in the aforementioned ways of killing. However I'm still fuming a little because I can't play it now even after patching, hotfixing, opening my router up like a whore (ALL HOLES FILLED!) and following tech advice after tech advice. I'm not a total noob, I'm used to a moderated level of patching when games first come out but this is starting to feel Relic-ish. I know I shouldn't expect everything to work perfectly out of the box and blah blah and so on. But for right now my advice to anyone would be to wait another month before buying. On a side note I purchased the Retail version and didn't download it off of Steam. For all I know the Steam version might work fine. Oh sure, the one time I don't buy from Steam and they get it right for once.............
