Frontlines: Fuel of War, Conquer Mode Update

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:17:23 +0200

Total FFOW has some news from KAOS on the upcoming Conquer Mode for Fronlines. Here is some of that Q&A:

Q: How many maps will support the new Conquer game mode?

A: Every map that has shipped with the game and will be released as downloadable content will support BOTH the Frontlines and Conquer game modes. If you count the 8 release maps, the recently released Boneyard and the four upcoming maps (Infiltration, Wide-Awake, Sunder and Hindsight), you’ll have a total of 13 maps to experience in both game modes.

Q: Have you reduced the size of any of the maps for Conquer?

A: No! We have not made any modification to the topography or size of our levels, no need to worry about a stripped down version of Solarfarm or Oilfield.
