It was released February 25, 2008 in North America. It was produced by the now-defunct Kaos Studios. ''Frontlines: Fuel of War'' was also originally in development for the PlayStation 3, although THQ announced it had canceled work on this version on January 24, 2008, seemingly as a result of problems with developing for the PS3,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frontlines for the Playstation 3 cancelled )〕 issues that had been referenced in interviews prior to the PS3 version's cancellation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Q&A: Joe Halper on Frontlines: Fuel of War )〕 ''Frontlines'' includes a multiplayer mode as well as a single-player campaign that uses the Frontlines system found in the multiplayer component. Single-player mode limits the players to the fictional Western Coalition, while online modes let players play as either the Western Coalition (WC) or Red Star Alliance (RSA). It is not bot compatible. A multiplayer demo of the game was released for the Xbox 360 on February 11, 2008. A demo was also released for the PC. At the end of 2012, the PC online multiplayer mode of the game was no longer available, although the LAN mode still operates. == Gameplay == The gameplay focuses on a central mechanic, the frontline. This is designed to keep the action in one place, by focusing objectives closer together on the battlefield. The frontline also has bonuses. By moving it back and forth across the battlefield, the player may gain or lose weapons and equipment. The frontline mechanic is used in all gametypes, which forces players to choose which objectives they will pursue or defend, adding a strategic level to the gameplay. The UCAV Drone plays a crucial role in gathering information in real time on the battlefield. The drone reconnoiters enemy units, which are visible through walls, and then show them on the player's HUD and map. Some drones can also be used as a kamikaze bomb, by running them into enemy infantry and self destructing them.〔 There are four other drones, the Assault Drone, a small treaded vehicle with a mounted Gatling gun, a Mortar Drone, with a mounted four barrelled mortar, an RC drone, which can be packed with C4 and used to destroy armored targets and finally a variant of the UAV drone equipped with anti-infantry rockets.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frontlines: Fuel of War Drones )〕 In an interview, Kaos stated that there would be more than 60 vehicles and weapons in the final game.〔 Airstrikes will also play a large part in gameplay, being an effective way to destroy an opposing force from a distance.〔 In an interview with developer Joe Halper, Kaos has stated that 32 player multiplayer would be supported for the console version.〔 Near release the maximum player count was raised to 50.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Frontlines: Fuel of War Multiplayer Hands-On - Large-Scale Warfare )〕 The PC version of the game supports 64 players online.〔 Near release it was confirmed that the game would not support cross-platform play, but the developers have stated that they are considering eventually moving the franchise towards becoming a Live Anywhere title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mitch Gross Interviewed! )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frontlines: Fuel of War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
