They can make a second one because it hinted that the war isn't over Imagine just after that a massive nuke is deployed, so now you're in a post apocalyptic world.. People walking in the middle of the streets like zombies.. Fire... Buildings collapsing.. Or already collapsed... Like really capture the moment... Epic graphics It can really show what ww3 would be like
Wau! How damn much i loved that audio :)) Now, if you take a look at here 8:35, it's actually insane how we were playing this awesome game in 2008 with these aircrafts looking so futuristic which we can basically see in the sky these days like if they took the idea of the vehicle concept right from this game :) That's something.
It's scary how accurate this game is, China and Russia as military allies, caspian sea being the start of everything in 2021 (ukrayne war), world war starting in 2024, the invasion of Taiwan by China.......a 2008 game, lol, it can't be a coincidence
Speaking of coincidence….. According to the fandom: the M1B Fuller (the Western Coalition’s MBT) utilized an Electro-thermal Chemical tank gun. Imagine how could the development team would react when the Abrams X-apart of many other features- also has an ETC tank gun.😂
I really want this game because I played the demo when I was 7 years old and I felt in love with it and when I saw the game a the store I wanted to get it but did not have money and then when I got money I went back to that store and it was sold this was today and I am very sad but I got some other games I was getting this game for the pc
Is it me or does Andrews/"Princeton" is this universe's version of Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. The two look very similar & even have a similar build.
@@blackgame_tv Everything in this game is shit that they are discussing in real life. Hell China is looking to invade Taiwan, and looking to make a pact between the communist powers.
Shit Putin was STILL in control of Russia back then in this game. And now with the war in Ukraine. I think this game wasn't very far off from today's reality...
8:50 I remember seeing an "Enhanced version" of that scene but it was removed days later it was released. I prolly should've bought this game, looks interesting.
For the US yes. I know little of why other than either the flooding of the market or maybe some new sources found/exploited. Course, these won't last long. This game came out when oil was increasing so high in price it broke the 4 dollar mark and helped to devastate the economy. While now its cheap, thats due to a number of factors that can change over night. Oil won't last for long, nor will it be so cheap, and the fact were not focusing more than ever on alternate fuels shows this future isn't quite avoided yet.
@@stalin3583 Where am I wrong? Oil isn't long lasting nor is it going to last within the century if not the next few decades. Oil is universally accepted even its most staunch defenders as being limited. While now were looking at a huge price drop, don't forget those prices can go up the moment oil production decreases. Demand has only increased and oil will inevitably run out. There is no denying this fact. Renewable and new sources of energy will become a must. Fossil Fuels will peak and run out, and relying on them as long as we have has been more to do with its easiness of being here for so long and being costly to change over(As well as politicians in the pockets of said corporations) than it being a eternal or long lasting fuel source.
To the people wanting a number 2 like me, it would be impossible unless another company bought the series or if another company got the rights to make a second one, and the reason it would be impossible is the Company went Bankrupt. Sadly.
one thing i dont get is....in this particular scenario,how is there enough oil to power the military might of both factions? Does the military reserve its own portion of fuel ?
insanely late, but yes, military power is typically gauged in how big a given countries budget is. The US doesn't have the biggest military in the world, but they do have the largest budget out of any other country and is therefore regarded as the most powerful. If they have that type of money, then they have the money for oil. Had to find videos of this game's story bc it's reflecting reality a little to closely
True + there never was this kind of extreme oil crisis. But other than that pretty accurate, especially when there is more and more evidence that China is really planning to invade Taiwan. Scary how in 2024 we now are in reality close to WW3
I can’t help but think how could the developers would react to how fundamentally close their game is to reality, especially the potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan? And how would they react to fact the real life Russia is completely incompetent- expect for propaganda and some electronic warfare-?

The first game I've ever played, one of the best.
Who woulda thought we would be living the front lines fuel of war storyline.
I remember how funny it was to see that in the game’s 2024 the president of Russia is still V.V.Putin :D
Man this game was my childhood. It sucks that I was to young to even pay attention to the story. I was just shooting whatever was a bad guy 😭
Like I was so confused to how that press guy got captured and stuff😭
I was really young when I first played it I was like 5 when I first played the game.
ЭХ ТЫ НЕ ОДИН ТАКОЙ
Its crazy how this game is kinda coming closer to being a reality.
cause it is
I wish there can be Frontline: Fuel at War 2
that be impossible since the company went bankrupt
@@fireteamdelta9108 😭😭😭😭
Its happening right now.
@@thebandoffice53 Umm I'm sorry must be all the drones clogging my hearing did you say they are gonna make another one?

Great soundtrack, interesting underated gem of a game back in the 360 days.
"It's been an honour serving with you sir, give the stray dogs my be......................", that hit home when I first played that mission 😔
This was one of the first games I played when I got my first 360 in 2008.
so old but still better than battlefield and cod games
No kidding a love this game. It should have had a sequel and a whole franchise.

@@rainbowsixODST is ur name a mix of halo ODST and rainbow six siege?
@@Polandball-qm3fu Yep😂 little me thought it was “clever” back in the day. Except it’s not Siege but rather Vegas that I drew inspiration from.
Every time I watch this; I feel like I'm watching a movie.
Such a great story FFOW had... I remembered repeating it in my childhood days.
I forgot how good the cutscenes look, considering the time the game came out. Makes me want to replay it again after all these years.
Who else thinks this might take place in the same universe as Mad Max: Fury Road?
I was thinking the same thing
Just in case, there are no mountains around Moscow.
***** if i wanted to inform developers i'd do this the other way, obviously.
+MrSpamaccount they used Red Alert 2 map.
Wait, no, they didn't. Even in Red Alert 2 there was a Kremlin in Moscow.
+OverLorD768 it was square shaped, though looked better than in rainbow six siege.
MrSpamaccount at least it was. Not like in Frontlines, where they just gave you a bunch of buldings and no Red Square or walls.
OverLorD768 sightseeing tour is not neccessary actually.

Intresting move directing the story from the eyes of a reporter. Richard Engal might like that.

I miss the 50 men matches on Street. Love this game so much
Same here! Multiplayer was awesome!! I remeber rolling in on a fuckin tank playing Capture the flag. So much fun!
I wish the campaign was longer and more fleshed out.
I couldn't remember the names of half the guys in the stray dogs :(

They need to make a number 2 it was the best video game I played as a child! And now I'm older I finally understand the story!
This one is in World War 3 games.
Is it me or does Andrews/"Princeton" is this universe's version of Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. The two look very similar & even have a similar build.
Story is pretty solid, I played this game a few years ago and I think with a better budget and dedicated team there might be a good sequel.
If the controls were better this game would have been awesome.
The controls feel Similar to halo tho
This game was so far ahead of it time.
I'm Russian and everything in this game is completely true dude
@@blackgame_tv I didn't play the game. What was there? Union of Russia and China?

@@scottm8292 yeah
Wish granted
In an alternate timeline with its own unique set of conditions in regards to oil. This story is plausible. In our timeline not so much.
You sure?
It is now and its eerily close to 2024!
So sure???
So glad I got this better if it had coop though
Black ops 2 and this is my top favourite games

You can scrap enough by to keep the military oiled, however, the private sector still needs oil to produce war material

Maybe imagine if this actually scalates maybe 2022 things stay in Ukranie, but it extends in 2024 to be officially 2024 the start of WW3.
