This One Has Potential
The multiplayer demo for Frontlines is up on the Marketplace. It's very similar to Battlefield (yes, you can parachute out of the helicopters), only with more class options, weapons and vehicles, and more focused battles due to the frontline dynamic.
Wonky voice chat is one of the things that sucked on Battlefied. Apparently voice chat is handled in squads for Frontlines. For example, if you're playing on a 16-player team (dedicated servers will host up to 32-player battles) the first thing you would do is form up into a 4-player squad. Then you have open mic chat within that squad. Unfortunately, there's no way to talk with the rest of your team outside of your squad, but they're looking to fix that post-launch with an update.
Let's try the multiplayer demo one of these nights.

Thank you Rossco, and thank goodness for demos. I enjoyed the game but I don't think it's worth a purchase. Even though the dev is now claiming 50-player battles over LIVE.
I did like the squad feature. That helped the communication problems Battlefield had.
