<div class="IPBDescription">sooo..who has it? reviews?</div>So yeah, this game came out of beta and out to the world public just the other day.

Was wondering if anybody has it and/or beta tested it.

It looks fun, but I'm hearing a lot of issues about having to lead a meter in front of the person who is in cqc with you.

Is it better off just to stick with BF2/2142/other series?

Depending on reviews, I might pick it up (and maybe Dynasty Warriors 6 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />).

ET:QW was a bust and too bad I can't sell that or trade it in due to it being a pc game haha and I just dont want to throw it away. Just don't want another repeat of that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

I'd let to get another shooter for the PC. I have CoD4 for my PS3, but I might pick it up for the PC for the better online community.

    I enjoyed the ET:QW beta so I might not be a good judge as far as you're concerned, but Frontlines doesn't really interest me. It looks like a generic, XBOX-ized shooter that rips off the least interesting parts of the Battlefield games. Those drones look neat but I can't see how piloting a minirobot is better than just running in and shooting people yourself, since I'm sure it must leave you pretty vulnerable.

    Well I got this for the PC and a patch came out two days later making the game able to run smoother.

    Besides the fact that I run it on the lowest settings (time to upgrade my PC) the game is actually pretty fun when you get used to it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Drones are awesome and I have developed a love for playing chicken with humvees as a special ops. C4 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    I may post up a better review later, but yeah. i'm lazy. stewfu. haha

    No voicechat in the game though, maybe it's a good thing. Vent or TS or ROGER WILCO! (lol) is better.

    Do you have the 360 or PC version?
    I'dl ike to find a partner or two in crime. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Wow, I found another love in this game.

    Following a group of my own squadmates with a recon chopper drone and let them know where the enemies are. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    It's fun.

    Especially when you grab the Spec Ops kit, a wounded teammate and an enemy tank. SUICIDE BOMBERS, PEOPLE. SUICIDE BOMBERS.


    Also, the interface sucks, they had better patch it.

    It works with drones, too.

    Friend and I took his recon drone, put about 5 of the bricks on it, then parked it over an APC.

    Big boom.
