Frontlines: Fuel of War demo is releasd on Xbox Live.

The earlier single player demo of Frontlines was a bit rough around the technical edges, sporting stiff controls and a framerate that struggled to hit thirty.  That's all changed with the new multiplayer demo, equipped with greatly improved controls and a smooth framerate that's near identical to the PC version.  Now you can take to the Street in a sixteen player chaotic firefight or a massive thirty two player brawl on the Oilfield, the latter ruled by heavy firepower of tanks and helicopters.  All of this is run on dedicated servers, so there's no worrying about being spiked with massive lag or suffering host advantage domination, while Kaos promises to bring 50+ player warfare in the final retail release.

I'm not going to lie to you.  Frontlines has a pretty steep learning curve, and your first few times out you'll spend half that time kissing dirt.  Though once you start learning the roles, forming squads, using voice chat to coordinate your efforts, everything begins to fall into place, and you'll be waging war on a scale never seen before on the Xbox 360.
