I really enjoy this game but unfortunately there is no one playing MP with it. Which is understandable as it is an older game and not a whole lot of people probably even bought it.

My question is...can I go into MP or Lan and set up a game to be played with bots ? I have done this with Arma 2 and I realize it is not as enjoyable as playing with real people, but it would be better than no MP at all.

I have gone back and forth thru the MP section and can't find anything that allows me to do that, but I was hoping maybe someone else had.
It was only thanks to SimHQ that I found out I could do that with Arma 2 !!

Thanks !
Tracy

Not sure. But I still play, and highly enjoy the game. Let me know if you get this to work.

I saw recently on steam that there's a bunch of folks creating a poll or some such to get the MP service going again.

Fortunes: Fuel of War?? Never heard of it. Frontlines: Fuel of War is an older game that sold ok I think, not a top seller but just ok. It had some moments but in the end was just another fragfest, arcadey FPS (vehicle control is absolutely atrocious) I suspect very few gamers are spending much time with Frontlines anymore, as it didn't have a very long life in its "heyday". I don't remember many MP options....but then I spent very little time in MP.....

If the OP does indeed mean Frontlines:Fuel of War,I still have it.Played many a MP match and really enjoyed it.I thought the SP was poor,but I didn't progress too far into it.Maybe it got better further in I don't know.

Like I said, SP had some moments, but it wasn't anything special. It certainly had an issue or two, but it was an ok occasional diversion. I'm not a MP gamer so I stuck with SP.

Did you ever set up a MP game with bots?

Played this on 360. It wasn't polished like BF, but it was a good game and had some large maps. I liked the progressive objectives.
The same group did Homefront, but I don't know anything about it, or the MP it had.

Hey there...
My mistake! I meant Frontlines:Fuel of War. See, when you get to my age group (over 58) you get alot more excited about the context of your message and unfortunately some of the small details kind of get left out, like getting the name of the game right that you are asking about !

I really liked the single player game for some reason, but you can only play as the Western Faction. In multi-player you can choose to be the Red faction which has some different weapons. But like I said there has never been anyone playing MP when I have looked. So was just hoping maybe I could set something up with AI bots instead of human players...just a shot in the dark. But thanks for all the responses.

Now where did I put those damn glasses. Anyone seen my keys ??
