After releasing not one, but two separate game demos to the XBLM, Frontlines: Fuel of War hasn't really garnered a major following or any sort of hype. But the dev team at Kaos Studios have been keeping their multiplayer cards held close and with their latest feature reveal, hope to get some attention.Confirmed via Kaos Studios' official forums, Frontlines developer deslief made it known that the game will in fact feature 50 player online multiplayer over Xbox Live. 50 players! Kaos says that they initially planned for a 32 player versus and even got up to as many as 73 players, but are settling a rather comfortable 50. Maybe that'll be the bullet point to make some pickup Frontlines, maybe not. Let's just hope multiplayer doesn't end up being a ride through lag-city.

I'm thinking that I might have to rent the full version, but as it is, neither demo got me hard.

I have no interest in this game but wish them some success so that maybe more future 360 games will use dedicated servers to enhance the multiplayer experience.

Why aren't more games supporting larger games, image call of duty 4 with about 30 people, would be awesome. Obviously larger maps would be needed.

Well it could be lagtastic but if they are using their own servers then kudos! Let's hope more companies follow suit!

For games with caps at 32 (or 50) players they use dedicated servers. Prevents "standby whores" and cuts down on lag substantially.

I don't understand why everyone against the game has simply said "it sucks".
I was playing this for hours yesterday with no lag what-so-ever. This is a really really fun game, and the 50 player mp just sealed the deal for me. Tank-driver, air support, heavy assault thats me. Kudos!

People bash it with infantile comments because it makes themselves feel better to see that their rants are posted on a web-site. It's like YouTube. Don't bother reading the comments; you'll feel dumber for doing it. =) It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly doesn't suck. Look forward to seeing mature team-gamers on that one, for sure. (Especially since team-killing is disabled on Kaos servers)

Brucie, you're a moron. Simply put. I could care less about this game, my point (which if you could read into it) is that you're an infantile low-brow internet commando wannabe. You think that typing a few words on an old comment page makes you a man. Then to try an add to your "brilliance" you type words in all caps, to emphasize that you're being a cunt. If anyone cared about your opinion, they'd subscribe to your "I'm mad at the world because I've got a tiny dick" podcast. Get over yourself, get over your need to have the last word. Or don't, frankly it'd be funnier to have you spend the rest of your days fighting pointless flame-wars on internet message boards. Here's the point: Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, even if you win you're still a retard.
Also, wiki a new term, CHUMP was so yesterday.

After playing the MP demo, I haven't had as much fun in multiplayer since H3. Some of the stuff that happens is just crazy and hillarious, like have 3 seperate rockets circling a helicopter and then all of them hitting it at the same time blowing it up. It has those crazy moments that H3 has. Its a blast with just 16, but 50 would be incredible.
