Any beta that fails to allow the remapping of keys immediately pisses me off ...

... add to that a broken 16x10 resolution, and you've got yourself a winner. It looks like fun, but it needs a patch or two before I'll play.

Outside of ampping and res issues, how is it?

I luuuuuuurved the Desert Combat mod for BF1942 (same devs btw) and after they got the royal screw job by EA, they deserve some success and recognition.

I was only able to play for a few minutes, 'cause I have a hard time with the default key settings. But it's a fun take on the Battlefield formula. The frontline "moving" really focuses the action, so everyone tends to fight along a front consisting of two points, as opposed to wandering the entire map, grabbing control points seemingly at random.

I think he means 1600x1000.

QT misses his zeros. =(

Yeah, that's just the widescreen aspect ratio.

If you insist I bust out the full length version: 1680x1050.

Sounds good other than that then? Awesome, I really want it... Been looking forward to it a while, and I only recently found out DC devs were making it also. Made me want it even more. I like the Frontline concept also, WiC has the same thing, very intense.

It's an extremely early beta, almost alpha. Regardless, for such an early build, it's fun, and sure to get better. I knew nothing about Frontlines going in, but it definitely has promise. I'll be keeping my eye on it.

New build released yesterday. Will let you know if things have improved.

Well, after a few rounds, I can say without hesitation that this build is 1000x better. Smoother, netcode is much, much better. Graphics are improved. They fixed the 16x10 aspect ratio, awesome. Still can't rebind keys, but I'm adapting (even though I hate WASD). It's fun, and has a ton of potential. The vehicles need improving (the driving physics suck, no handbrake!), but everything else is quite well done. Looking forward to an expanded beta.
