FiringSquad (http://www.firingsquad.com/) has posted up their take on Frontlines: Fuel of War today. Take a look:
We got a chance to play the first mission from the single player game during the THQ press event. It starts out with an in-game cinematic showing a Western Coalition helicopter flying through a battlezone and containing members of the "Stray Dogs" team along with a embedded reporter. The fast and tough banter between the helicopter passengers is cut short due to an attack on the chopper by Red Star Alliance enemy forces. After killing off a number of the soldiers on board the game switches to first person mode and puts your character right in the thick of things as you fight off the enemy as they storm the wrecked helicopter remains. You get some help from the the AI controlled survivors of the crash but it’s mostly you and your futuristic assault rifle as you shoot at the hordes of hostiles. After you secure the crash site you are sent to secure other areas of the map (a oil refinery as it turns out) via locations displayed on your HUD. Your final objective in your first single player mission turns out to be rescuing the reporter who was on board in the first place. Of course things are never easy as you have to also kill enemy forces who want to keep you from heading to those points. Forces not only include foot infrantry but armored SUVs and even a massive tank that you can take out with an available anti-vehicle rocket launcher.
