    hi. i just downloaded the frontlines fow beta.

    i was really surprised to see on a few servers up and maybe 30 people max on all the servers combined. is there a reason why people aren't playing this game?

    downloaded from fileplanet.

    by the way, i get very bad fps in the game, even at medium settings. the game does look pretty though.

    might be because there is a multitude of other betas going on right now; crysis, hellgate: london, UT3, Sup Com, UaW, CoD4, etc. Not to mention there are way better games about to hit the market.

    Because there are a billion other better betas and demos and games out.


    It's sad, but the game really just isn't that good, it's still a pretty early beta, but it runs pretty bad, and plays just the game if you ask me. I know it got a patch recently so I might try again, but it was barely working when I was trying before. All kinds of work arounds just so I could get in a game.
