| I've been playing the MP demo and it's awesome! I can't wait for the full game, 42 players on Oil Fields is just hectic. |

I was surprised it got 8/10 but I'm only judging by what I saw from the demos, I guess overall it's a fair score as Frontlines really is quite an achievement technically, and although all the gadgets are fun to play with (remote control helicopters, airstrikes, mobile machine gun emplacements etc), it just didn't grab me.
The major plus is that in the 360 multiplayer demo when we got a 16 vs 16 match going the game lasted for hours as the battle swayed too and fro, but on the flipside I found it to just a long drawn out game of domination, there weren't any other multiplayer modes.
It's definitely up there with the Battlefield series, but I think being limited to domination all the time doesn't do it any favours. On the other hand if you're a team player then it could be right up your street.
I thought it was 64 player on PC and 32 player on consoles, the review mentions 50 player which is a little confusing. |

| The demo had pants graphics, and although I know it shouldn't, that really put me off :(
Also, for the ten minutes that I was playing, I only saw like 2 other guys, the map just felt way too big! |

| I hope this is as good on PC as it obviously is on 360.
VG tried this on PC yet? |
