Title: So are we getting Homefront?
Post by: Czar on March 09, 2011, 09:38:17 AM
Yes.. I really only game with FITES. I only really play multiplayer games. As a result, if a majority of you mouth-breathers are getting Homefront, I will too. </lemming>

Thoughts?

I already preordered mine.  I think a lot of the others are waiting till it's released to see how it rates.  LAN Support is a go!

Pre-Ordered.  I'll support them even if the game sucks... They are supporting the LAN community!! ;)

BTW I dont think this game is going to suck...

I guess if you like Call of Duty you will like this game.

And I suppose from a FITES standpoint a CoD game with a dedicated server (for which I STILL cant find the files for) would be a good thing for a LAN.

The game was not worth $50 thats for sure.

Damn, it sounds like the only level of realism that would make you happy is to join the Army.  In all seriousness though, I did find that MP around 10:30 last night was rather empty.  This was still a bit surprising although dedicated servers are not out yet.  I was checking out the website link and have to agree it is bunk you can't shoot through fences.  About the camping though, isn't this like real combat?  I know that if my ass was in war, I wouldn't just run across the field and get lit up.  Just my thoughts....to each their own.

No my only enjoyment for realism is not joining the army.  Lets be serious here.

Maybe prone/camping is a personal pet peeve of mine.  I dont expect everyone to share the same idea as me.

Aside from some personal preferences, they're all legit gripes.

Im sure you'll be happy to see the prone position back in BF3...  :hehemean:

  The game is different , I wouldn't say it is a bad game, but it isn't perfect.  With some time to get used to it I think it will be fun.

And with probably a few patches...just like ANY other game that has been released within the last 5 years.

Is this coming from the person who allegedly said something to the effect of, "It's like COD and BF had a baby...a retarded baby" ?
Title: Re: So are we getting Homefront?

Yup, I want to say its more like MW2 but with a different perk/killstreak system.
Title: Re: So are we getting Homefront?
Post by: The Shoctor on March 17, 2011, 08:25:27 AM
I can say I HATE this game...
I spent 3 hours doing all kinds of crap.
I was holding off and a bunch of you said it was good enough and I like supporting the LAN play cause... But 3 hours of my time is worth WAY more than $50.

So, I have a ticket in with Steam support since it's their overlay that says it's causing the segfault.
Though it seems the BEST solution found in the steam forums is to pirate the game...

Faulting application name: HOMEFRONT.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x4d7e1a73

I saw you going in and out of the game last night. Did you have issues with the game locking when trying to connect to MP?  Mine kept locking when attempting to reach a server so I just played SP.

After completing the first mission, I can tell the game is going to be short. I was entertained for the hour played last night. BFBC2 single player seems to edge out the Homefront SP.

Even though this game isn't perfect, the LAN support should keep it relevant and hopefully encourage more dedicated server based games.

How about crash to desktop on EVERY launch?
I couldn't get into the game.

in short "First day sales exceeded 375,000 units"
and
"Homefront servers are apparently at capacity, which is causing some matchmaking issues for those trying to join online matches, according to Kaos Studios. In the support forum for Homefront, Kaos admits, “The demand for servers has outstripped our expectations, and we are doing all we can to bring more servers online to meet this demand as soon as possible.”"
