Vehicle section updated - Plenty of aircraft!  [ Comment BERJAYA ]
23:55 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Site Features
We've updated our vehicles section with plenty of details about a wide range of aircraft, ranging from attack helicopters to fighter jets. Here is a snippet from one of the entries:
K-55 Hyper Attack Helicopter:
Designed as a well-rounded gunship, the K-55 sports dual 23mm auto-cannons and 75mm rocket pods and anti-tank missiles. This increased payload makes it more deadly than its WC counterpart, the Mohawk attack copter, but it lacks the advance stealth network found in the Mohawk.
Check back tomorrow as we begin to showcase the roles!

FilePlanet interviews Kaos  [ Comment BERJAYA ]
15:56 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Community News
The folks over at FilePlanet are celebrating the release of the Frontlines: Fuel of War closed beta with an interview with the folks from Kaos Studios. The interview covers a wide range of topics from Desert Combat, to their history with EA, and the Frontlines development process. Here is a brief snippet from the article:
We felt confident in our multiplayer experience but we really wanted to reach out to the single player game because as gamers we are really getting tired of the die \ redo \ die \ redo \ watch-the-movie style gameplay. I wanted to play a game where my choices meant something and my experience wouldn't be exactly the same to the player next to me
The interview covers plenty of material, so I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Planet Starcraft launches!  [ Comment BERJAYA ]
15:24 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Community News
In a bit of GameSpy network news, I'd like to welcome Planet Starcraft to the GameSpy Planet network. The site covers the Starcraft series (surprise!), which I am sure needs no introduction. I'm sure most everyone has played Starcraft at one point or another during their gaming career, so stop by to check up on the game, or perhaps to see how Starcraft II is coming along.

Vehicle section updated - Su-48  [ Comment BERJAYA ]
23:55 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Site Features
We continue our daily vehicle updates with a look into the Red Star Alliance's fighter jet, the SU-48. Here is a brief snippet from the description:
Armed with both air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, the Su-48 is capable of taking on a wide variety of targets. Because of the unique chassis design, the Su-48 is also capable of firing off missiles faster than it's Western Coalition counterpart. It is also armed with a 20mm gatling gun designed for strafing, and a Domovoi missile decoy launcher.
Check back tomorrow for an update on the Western Coalition anti-air vehicle!

Burning Truth showcases the Air Support Specialty  [ Comment BERJAYA ]
15:36 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Community News
The folks over at Burning Truth have another interesting Frontlines update, this time taking a detailed look at air support. Here's a snippet from the level 1 Red Star Alliance ability, which calls in a precision airstrike.
The ZMBI precision airstrike is a single laser-guided bomb. It is well-suited to take out a point target such as a lone vehicle or emplaced weapon. When an RSA air support specialist calls in this airstrike, his PSO 28 laser-optical target marker will broadcast (digitally-encrypted) to the nearby friendly command-control units his location and that of the target.
I'm having a hard time deciding what is cooler, calling in a gunship, or dropping a massive fuel bomb on the area....
