GAME SUMMARY

Frontline: Fields of Thunder

Rating: 3.4 (57 votes cast)

As the largest tank battle of all time, Kursk was the ultimate battle of the titans. It caused the global powers to focus vast amounts of resources on improving the design and production of their tanks, representing the last great conventional arms race before the advent of the atomic bomb.

The battle at the Kursk Salient was Germany’s last attempt to avoid defeat in World War II. This conflict was marked by a ferocity that had not been seen by either side and has been remembered as the largest tank engagement in world history.

Features:

  • Highly detailed Battle Map: Many data is included in the different chapter maps, including more geographical data and historical dislocation data of the real troops that will change ac­cording to the real historical timeline.
  • Streamlined and intuitive interface
  • Unit parameters and the battle dynamics based on historically accurate data.
  • Two historically correct campaigns that encompass 20 thrilling missions, most of which will be based on accurate historical episodes.
  • New Units: Three to four new units will be added to the unit pool in an effort to more ac­curately depict the actual, historical events.
  • New Rewards: The game will feature new awards, medals and promotions to suit the historical period of the game.
  • Multiplayer functionality, including 10 multiplayer missions that can be played both on LAN and over the Nival.Net Internet service

Blitzkrieg II Stand-alone expansion.

By Fred_DM posted 9th January

Frontline: Fields of Thunder is based on the popular Blitzkrieg II engine, and thus it looks and plays just like Blitzkrieg II. There is not a lot of new content in this game as it mostly uses assets from Blitzkrieg II. It does feature new missions and campaigns set in the Eastern Front, specifically the Battle of Kursk. Expect the usual historical accuracy and tough difficulty.

Think of this as a mission pack for Blitzkrieg II, pick it up at a price that feels right for you, and you won't be disappointed.

Additional note: This game works fine on W7x64 and can be played in resolutions up to 1920x1080.

It's a good old game, along the lines of Blitzkrieg II and its substantial expansions. What annoys me is the lack of attention to editors, mods, cheats, polish and the like that made the others so good, to this day. How much work could it have took to throw the BKII editor or a cheat or two in there for us?

This is a game with a great deal of replay value, and one that will keep you immersed for hours. An extra edge of realism has been added in the reinforcement system, which forces you to win objectives before you receive reinforcements. There are plenty of missions too. There are twenty missions that must be achieved in two seperate campaigns.

like blitzkrig- sudden strike

Frontline: Fields of Thunder review

The maps are beautiful and the unit graphics are ok. Starting out, the game is fun but once you have the tactics down it becomes boring. The AI is terrible. An enemy unit will just set there and take artillery fire without moving, easy kill. It seems that in order to give the computer AI a chance, the human player does not recieve any of the good artillery units until late in the game and very limited about half way through the German game. If you get the chance steal the computer's guns, set those same guns to protect your heavyiest tank and then creep towards the enemy front. Wash, rinse, repeat..you win. Often your units will behave without much intelligence. For example a self propelled anti-tank gun will keep fireing at enemy infantry while an enemy tank is shooting it. Tanks will also randomlly turn their backs to the enemy and look towards the rear. Shooting entrenched infantry is like playing whack-a-mole because they magically teleport to different sections of the trench line. Takes a long time and a lot of ammo to get rid of them. Repair and resupply of ammo is very limited. Repair I can understand to a certain extent, but when you are given only one resuplly truck and more than half of it's cargo is used to replenish one medium tank something is wrong. The included encylopedia is written in very poor English and the facts are not always correct and somewhat Biased. The game is worth a look if you are interested in WWII battles, but I would not recommend spending more than 10 dollars on it.

This game uses the Blitzkrieg 2 engine. It's exactly what I have been looking for: a 20+ level game containing 2 campaigns (Wehrmacht and WPRA) plus a bevy of 10 beautiful multiplayer maps. There's no editor that comes with the game, so once you're done, that's it. It's quite a good strategy game though (especially if you like Blitzkrieg 2 games and all their expansions). The game has its own loading screens but seems to be running the identical tutorial from Blitzkrieg 2. I don't mind it at all for such an affordable price.

Though this classical game system is similar blitzkrige , some of key binds are different from blitz.

There is a little bug that the game stops and AI sometimes does unnecessary operation.

And then The enemy action pattern is approximately decided.

However, this was made well generally , I have enjoyed enough.

The OST-Front fan should buy at cheap sale.

Battle front waits you.
