The Frontlines Mechanic
By Martin Raymond
Senior Game Designer, Kaos Studios
When we set out to design Frontlines, we knew we wanted to create a first-person shooter that could do it all, from close-quarters infantry combat to intense land and air vehicle battles. After merging our gameplay ideas together, we were left with the question: "How do you combine intense, fast-paced tactical action with large, open-ended gameplay and a huge arsenal of vehicles and weaponry?" Tanks versus helicopters is just one of the many things that can occur in Frontlines.
This was our big design challenge, and our ultimate answer is something we call the frontline game mechanic, which is the driving force behind Frontlines. We wanted to offer a wide selection of gameplay experiences, from tight urban infantry battles to massive, open-ended armored battles (let's not forget about the jets and choppers--however, that's probably for another post).
Xbox Live Games with Gold users can snag these two games for free. They weren't announced by Microsoft but appear to show as free with Xbox Live Gold.
If you're getting something through or because of a paid subscription service -
ITS. NOT. FREE.
Stop using that word...
If you know that you're paying for playing online + 4 games each month, those 4 games are NOT FREE.
But if they give you 6 games one month, 2 of them are free. Agreed?

Its what they are.
And yes, the same if not double for for PS+.
Stop being such a snob. It's an informational article. And it's free for those who have GwG, as is clearly mentioned. Going by your logic, Buy 1 get 1 free shouldn't be a thing either, since you paid for 1.
First, stop being so triggered. Being so angry about something so mundane is worrying, maybe you need to look into why that is.
Secondly, why don't you go round all the UK shops offering "free" iphones and android phones when you sign up to £60 a month tariffs and scream at the staff that it's not free?
Do you get angry with Amazon, that advertise that Prime comes with FREE express delivery?
360 and original xbox games are free. You can download them and play them free on 360 and xbox one offline.
Mx unleashed has been free to gold for ages for some reason, front lines is a good freebie it's not advertised.
Both games are free to keep in xbox digi library. No subsxription required to play these games once there added. There yours to keep

LOL what a random revisit. I remember liking the demo for this game, but never bothered buying it.
I bought it at launch, the game has been sitting here for years and it became backwards compatible so I was like meh why not
Completely forgot about this game. Remember being hyped about it... probably not that hyped about it seeing as how i never bought it amd forgot about it haha
Wasn't a bad game. Clunky, but enjoyable. I still remember one of the loading screen captions; real poignant and deep...

Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs. ATV, Titan Quest, Supreme Commander, Frontlines, Stuntman, Juiced, Full Spectrum Warrior, Destroy All Humans and much more will enrich the Nordic Games portfolio
Wants Gamers Input on How to Move Forward
They really need to bring red faction back to life, that game is loved by many... and those other games too but I love red faction more than any of those other games. Bring back the destruction!
Nice to see they are looking for input from the people that will either buy the games or not.
Darksiders 3 needs to be more like 1. Darksiders 2 was a very deluded experience in order to be longer.
And please hire Madureira as the creative director of the game please! His art made the game alive. If the art style changes the whole game will be a piece of generic crap.
I have to admit, the loot system in Darksiders 2 felt like an obstacle instead. I think the first game nailed Darksiders better. They probably had good intentions with making it more RPG, but the animations, amongst other things suffered for it.
Agreed, most of DS2 felt like a chore to me with more platforming than action.
I am not saying I didn't liked the platforming, its just it was too much and was bit of a chore to me.
DS1 had little low amount of platforming, lack of verticality but it did good.
i want you to take Geo-Mod and turn that up 11 i wanna see 50 story building fall and big beautiful towers come crashing down. i want a next gen destruction physics engine.
I think this game is going to be 10/10 in all mags.online forms,it just sounds like a kick-a** game. Can't wait to play It.
Hold that line men!!
with so many other FPS shooters trying to do so much, its going to be tuff. so many other devs have promised so much with it always falling just short...
we will see.
It is developed by the guys behind the original Battlefield. I hope it aleast plays better on Live than Battlefield 2.
10/10 game for me
