The folks at Kaos studios have been hard at work patching up a few bugs in Frontlines:Fuel of War and have just released version 1.2 which tweaks the server browser, adds a new server monitoring tool, and adds a handful of new maps to the game.  The new maps will eventually make it over to the 360 version of the game as a free download.  The patch also adds the new Conquer mode which should be familiar to veterans of the Battlefield series.  Nice to see the folks at Kaos continuing to support the game.
As the energy crisis continues to affect lives across the globe, THQ Inc. and Kaos Studios are continuing to release all-new content for Frontlines™: Fuel of War™. The groundbreaking open-world first person shooter, rated 4 out of 5 by G4’s X-Play and PC Gamer, drops players 20 years in the future and lets them experience the potential reality of an energy depleted world amid an East vs. West struggle over the last remaining oil resources.

In addition to new content, upgrades and features, THQ and Kaos Studios will be kicking off a Frontlines tournament on November 2nd with over $10,000 in cash and prizes on the line, as well as additional prizes from HP and NVIDIA.
