The danger of driving a tank into battle is that if you get out to pee, your enemy might drive off with it. THQ and Kaos Studios (who, as Trauma Studios, were responsible for the popular Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942 and collaborated with DICE on Battlefield 2) know this, because they essentially jumped into EA's Battlefield franchise when no one was looking and renamed it Frontlines: Fuel of War. Although this tactic wasn't particularly creative, in a console generation that hasn't seen many Battlefield-type games, the outcome is a refreshing return to large-scale combat. With some wonky physics and a weak single-player campaign, Frontlines doesn't beat Battlefield at its own game, but at least someone is giving us the chance to run over people with tanks, borrowed or not.
The most important part of Frontlines is its lone online multiplayer mode, also called frontlines. Like in any Battlefield game, this mode has you and the enemy vying for control of specific points on various maps. Unlike in Battlefield, only a few of these points are available for contention at any given time. You see, every map is divided into two sides by a battle line, and only points along this line are open for business. By capturing all of these points, you push the line deeper into enemy territory, to the next group of points. If you push the line all the way back to the enemy's base and capture it, you win the game.
This is an interesting approach to Battlefield gameplay, with some awesome strengths and a few head-scratching weaknesses. The beauty of this scheme is that every battle, at any given time, focuses nicely on either one or just a few spots. So if you're in a game with a bunch of strangers, you can still count on everybody being on the same page, given that there are only a couple that they could possibly be on. Another thing that's nice about this setup is that you generally know where the enemy will be coming from and where they'll be going, so you don't have to constantly watch your back.
