The guys over at BurningTruth, had there first round of the Q&A sessions you got to ask Frank Delise, General Manager and “The Vision” at Kaos Studios, any Frontlines related questions that you wanted. The guys at Kaos are taking their time to really go over and answer them and Frank has fired back – check out YOUR interview.
The frontlines game mechanic really helps Frontlines stand above its competition; it ensures a dynamic battlefront and a constant stream of concentrated action.

FD:>> For the frontlines game mode, we went back and fourth on a few ideas. We look at everything from standard conquest style game modes to game modes such as Push, which we had in Desert Combat.
