The battle's frontline really is the name of the game in Frontlines: Fuel of War, the upcoming tactical first-person shooter from Desert Combat developer Kaos Studios. Frontlines: Fuel of War uses the advanced Unreal 3 engine for futuristic, intense fights in an open-world battlefield. In this all-too-bleak future of constant wars over natural resources, two sides compete for global supremacy: the Western Coalition (the United States and the European Union) and the Red Star Alliance (Russian/People's Republic of China). The game's nonlinear single-player campaign has players advancing their side's frontline into enemy territory.
Multiplayer mode shares many similarities with the campaign mode and will be instantly familiar to players who've cut their teeth on recent Battlefield games. Again, the two sides--the Western Coalition and the Red Star Alliance--will be fighting over control of the frontline, which will push back and forth in a sort of reverse tug-of-war as each faction captures control points along that line. Vehicles, such as tanks and jeeps, will be available for each side to use as well.
The most interesting aspect of Frontlines' multiplayer was the distinction between player classes and roles. You'll select your class as you'd expect; classes are available for assault and heavy assault, snipers, antiarmor, close combat, and so on. Your class choice determines your weapons loadout, which will determine to an extent what you can do in combat. But each class can also choose from one of four roles, which lets you further customize your battlefield capabilities to suit your tastes. For instance, the drone role gives you control over an assortment of remote-controlled robots that can perform demolition and other functions from a distance. The air-support role lets you call in a variety of air strikes. Countermeasure and ground-support roles will also be available. Each role will have three increasingly powerful abilities that you can gain control over as you progress through a multiplayer game, and the two faction's four roles will contain different (but purportedly balanced) abilities.
