=FFC= Launches Four Servers

In a joint venture with MidWestLAN we are proud to announce that Frontline Formation is launching four gaming servers starting immediately!

Battlefield 2 - Infantry Only City Maps: 69.12.91.39:16567

The Left 4 Dead and Killing Floor servers will populate, no problem. We'll need the help of the remaining BF2 players to get the Battlefield servers rocking.

Battlefield 1943, Bad Company 2 Announced

DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced Battlefield: Bad Company 2™, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster title. In this installment, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943™, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and on the PC.

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ‘B’ company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite™ engine can. Either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.

Using the same Frostbite™ engine, Battlefield 1943 takes players back to WWII. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Delivering the award-winning through-the-gun and vehicle warfare online experience DICE is best recognized for, Battlefield 1943 will have players battling in ruthless aerial dog fights and intense trench combat. Players can see the game in action at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6^th-8^th.

"Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. "Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands.”

New TeamSpeak Server

Frontline Formation has a new TeamSpeak server.

IP: 75.126.94.187:8852

Make sure you use the port number. Since we couldn't transfer all of our old user accounts, I've set a global password to help keep griefers out. Pass: ffcts

If anyone needs any channels created, just let me know.

Frontline IP Change

As I posted in the Community Forum, Frontline's IP address will be changing. The new IP will be: 69.65.98.8

Once the IP has changed it will take a while for it to propagate out to other name servers. If you can't get to frontlineformation.com try typing in the IP directly. I'll probably make the changes tonight after 9PM PST.

FFC CoD4 Server Now Online

Frontline Formation has picked up it's own Call Of Duty 4 game server.

The server is 32 slots and is located in Texas.

IP: 72.232.0.147 or just look for FrontlineFormation.com in the server browser.

If you haven't tried out the game yet I highly recommend picking up the demo. The demo was fun but I did find it to be a bit tame compared to how intense multiplayer games can get.
