Synopsis

Set in the fictional near future, Frontlines: Fuel of War places the survival of the global community in your hands. As society succumbs to a worldwide energy crisis, environmental decay and economic depression, two superpower alliances emerge amidst a gritty backdrop of global war. As an elite soldier in the Stray Dogs strike force of the Western Coalition Army, you must join the battle on the front lines where there's no escape from the horrors of the conflict. Destroy the Red Star Alliance and gain control over the world's precious resources to change the fate of the entire planet.

You have your choice of more than 60 next-generation vehicles and weapons inspired by the military designs of tomorrow, including jets, helicopters, tanks, APCs and more. High-tech combat systems help players collect and relay recon, target enemy sites and share threat information between teammates. Customize soldiers by choosing a weapons loadout and a technical specialization to annihilate foes. Take advantage of a magnitude of destructible elements to plot out a specialized path and strategy as you make your way through each mission. Rather than having to replay the same sequence of events once you've failed a mission, players can proceed with multiple approaches.
