HomeFront Released
« on: March 15, 2011, 09:04:34 AM »
Homefront 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, or wherever your usual fragging hole may be.

Game on!

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Played it last night at 12:20am. Was a lot of fun. Feels like a mix of CoD4 and BC2. Gonna own some n00bs tonight.

You can still start your own server from within the game's MP menu.  It may not be dedicated, but it's something at least.

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.

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.
