Another Battlefield-esque game. Even if it's a clone I'd give this one a serious looking-at. So far, from what I've seen, it looks utterly awesome. I'll need to play the demo, though. I'll get back to you guys on that. For now, VIDEOS.

Initial reviews of the multiplayer seem a bit iffy, but I'm confident they won't pull an EA on us.

DISCUSS.

EDIT: This glitch from the Xbox demo shows FFoW's use of a full-body FP model. This makes me a happy panda. However, the existence of this glitch (failing to swap FP and 3P models) worries me.

EDIT 2: Holy crap, this is by the same guys who made the Desert Combat mod for BF1942! They appear to have formed a company...
Also, this explains the similarities to the BF series...

Saw this some time ago, makes load outs very useful, like the little helicopter, you can make that die and scout out the area before actually running in.

I downloaded the demo when it first came out. IMO oilfield sucks bigtime.
If you play on street, either use sniper+emp tech(against drones), assault+drone tech(the most balanced loadout), and special ops or shotgun+air support(for maximum raepage only).

I was in the beta... it was an alright game. It had amazing sound, though. Plays a lot like battlefield. There isn't really a "team" feeling to the game, as there are multiple "objectives" (spawn points) throwout the map, which usually splits up your team.

I thought the Mohawk was really cool, but the Stalker looks like the bastard child of the F-22 Raptor and the CFA-44 Nosferatu from Ace Combat 6.
