Title: HomeFront Released
Post by: sully! on March 15, 2011, 09:04:34 AM: Homefront (http://http://www.homefront-game.com/) is released today and features our beloved local LAN support! Show your support for local LAN play by picking up what looks to be a fantastic game from Steam ([steamstore]55100[/steamstore]), GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/homefront/78028?loc=homefrontba), or wherever your usual fragging hole may be.

Game on!

Title: Re: HomeFront Released
Post by: Broken on March 21, 2011, 07:55:18 PM: Pretty damn good summary of singleplayer...
Title: Re: HomeFront Released
Post by: zx2slow on March 22, 2011, 08:18:45 PM: Homefront is so horrible bad that I have given up preordering anything.

I played through again, and the rails are so bad, you cant walk anywhere they don't want you to. Areas that are clearly not locked by anything are impossible to walk to. If you aren't even close to a scripted event it still happens.

The story is pathetic, these blackout events are complete bullCrap. This game is complete bullCrap.

Post by: vincegun on March 22, 2011, 08:35:51 PM: I recall a video where some guy is interviewed and he said they had a small team of people working on the pc version so it would actually be really good and not just another port.

Guess he was wrong, judging by the responses here.
Title: Re: HomeFront Released
Post by: Dwg115 on March 22, 2011, 09:08:46 PM: yea i saw that interview too and he was way off. maybe it was interviews like that that gave us the wrong expectations.

Post by: vincegun on March 23, 2011, 07:03:32 AM: Much like trailers for movies and games, the end result is rarely as good as the trailer makes it out to be.
Title: Re: HomeFront Released
Post by: decepticon on March 23, 2011, 07:10:24 AM: Multiplayer isn't horrible.
Title: Re: HomeFront Released
Post by: Czar on March 23, 2011, 08:02:23 AM: I rarely play the single player mode of games. Really I'm just in it for the MP. Never played the SP for CoD4, Battlefield anything. Doom 3 was the last SP I played and i agree with Decepticon, Homefront MP isn't horrible.

Sources confirm to us that the employees have been officially informed."
