BF2S Forums [Frontlines: FoW] The Battlefield comparison

Well, many people are quick to compare Frontlines to the Battlefield series, and even go so far as to say it's a "ripoff". Of course these accusations are justified as much of the gameplay is similar to the Battlefield series. So, which is the better game? For the purpose of this review we'll be looking at Frontlines, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield 2142.

Unlockable Weapons	Yes	Yes	No
Weapon Kits	Yes	Yes	Yes
Customizable Kits	No	Yes	No
Optional Roles	No	No	Yes
Drivable Vehicles	Yes	Yes	Yes
Jets	Yes	No	Yes
Different Game Modes	No	Yes	No
Voip Support	Yes	Yes	No

Commander Role	Yes	Yes	No
Buddy List	No	Yes	No
Bookmark Servers	Yes	Yes	No
Destructible Environments	No	No	Yes

Persistent Stat System	Yes	Yes	No

Now, despite its flaws, there are many things about the Frontlines I do like, but there are still a lot of bugs to get past. Most people still can't even get the game to run. With some work though, I think this could be better than Battlefield... maybe Frontlines 2 Until then though, I still think 2142 is the best in the series as it has the most stable and balanced gameplay as well as customizable kits, different game modes, and an in game buddy list. If you have the game and feel something should be added to the list, just let me know!

_{Now, everyone flame how Frontlines sucks, and how 2142 is just a mod}
