I read somewhere that they are making a sequel to this game and I can only hope they will make it better, because there is a good game hidden somewhere in here. And there are not many maps either, so after playing a few hours you might get a bit bored of it, at least I was. There are only players active in the Frontline game mode, every other game mode has empty servers. The map is also scattered with barbed wires, which is very easy to get stuck in and again you die in seconds, which is very annoying! The NCO can call in a mortar strike, so don't be surprised when you get blown up without any warning! The map is rather small and you get a suicide kill in seconds after going a bit outside of the area, for instance if you try to go around the enemy. I don't mind a learning curve and being killed by good players (for instance in Chivalry), but this is just frustrating as hell! Especially the campers who don't leave their spot and keep sniping other players, who try to play the game as it should be played, namely following the directions of the leader and moving from trench to trench. The game has a very steep learning curve and at first you will get shot time and time again by players who have been playing the game a longer time than you. At times I even got confused by my own footsteps on the wooden floor in the trenches, thinking there is someone walking behind me but it was just my own foorsteps sounding way too loud. It can be confusing though because you think there are enemies yelling or bombs exploding in places where there is nobody at all. The sound is also very basic, but it's good enough to create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a battlefield. It might look funny but it's just not right. The graphics are very basic to bad: often times I have seen dead soldiers shaking and twisting with an arm or a leg in an impossible position. It's bugs like that which screw up this game big time! It could be that the game makes it harder to kill a high rank player, but that would make no sense also. One shot mostly kills you, which is very realistic but also very frustrating because shooting the enemy sometimes doesn't seem to connect, which is especially annoying if you shoot an enemy 4 times in the chest and then get smacked by him in the face with his gun and die.
