@TheTemplar117 Um, is it sort of blurry, as if it was scaled or something? If so, you should try to make your TV play in native resolution. Cheers! =DDD
I just started playing last month, it has been my most played multiplayer shooter ever since, still diggin it in 2013! Would love a sequel bring on Homefront 2!!
So i justn got this game for xmas and i still havent opened it deciding wheter to return it and get somethin else like MW3 or battlefield 3 or jus keep it, wat shud i do?
@okitroid Thats why I am really excited for RAGE and hopefully Crysis 2's campaign will be as long as the first which was around 10 hours. Couldn't agree with you more about developers sinking all their time in multiplayer and basically throw a single player campaign out the window.
I have to admit that the Singleplayer wasn't as good as I thought (that doesn't mean it's not good at all) but the multiplayer is pretty amazing. Btw: the developer (KAOS Studios) also created Battlefield 2 and 2142. I play on PC so I can't talk for the console versions but I recommend everyone who doesn't want to play CoD or BF3 with those kiddies and hackers anymore, buy this game and let the multiplayer get strong again. It's worth the (little) money!
@xmrassasin If you buy the game used then you don't get that little pass code. That pass code lets you go to the max. If you dont have it your capped at 5.
Finally a theme that actually depicts the horrors of war. I genuinely felt sad when the little kid's parents were killed and the last words of the mother that preceded it.
I did I got it with the THQ bundle and before buying it have never heard of Homefront but now its currently one of my top 10 favorite games on my account and I have over a 100 steam games. I will definately preorder Homefront 2 when it comes out this year....if they don't push the release date back like with most games these days.
even though it was short i enjoyed the story of homefront better than any fps in recent memory, it was actually emotionally engaging rather than just a bunch of overly butch dudes blowing shit up, i hope whoever picks the sequel up keeps an engaging story
the plot of this game is actually believable (unlike some other fps campaigns out there) seeing as fuel sources are becomming more scarce (you can tell by price rises)
What I don't understand is why the developers didn't include support for multiplayer with bots. The multiplayer mode looks so fun, to bad the servers are gone..
The Game Collector i remember playing the beta and regret everytime i think that i didnt buy this game when it came out. i had a blast playing the multiplayer, more so than any bf or cod at that time...
I bought this game a few days ago. I'm a COD guy and I love this game. But single player is too short so if you're thinking about buying this game just for SP, be prepared to waste 40 something dollars for just about 5 hrs of gameplay. I tried the MP and it is fun to play but there are a lot of glitches. I can only see a few servers available though and last night, there was only 1 server available and I couldn't even spawn. What's the deal? Am I doing something wrong?
@PeterEhik You can't compare pain, everyone has a different experience and threshold. It depends on who you are and your situation. You can't judge others for being "weak".
I swear that when I watched that scene at 2:20, I could hear the emperor's voice in my head, saying; "Give in to your anger." And not only that, but I could feel my hand tensing up on the controller. Speaking of that scene, why are there people leaving heartless comments about it?! That scene is supposed to trigger an emotional response!
i havent bought this game yet, but the campaign looks extremely believable. honestly if i played the game then i'd actually pay attention to cutscenes and scenery, unlike games like call of duty with predictable cliffhangers and twists that make no sense. this game's campaign id actually consider as a well crafted narrative.
@fol900 It's supposed to make you feel that way. I thought that was an excellent addition to help immerse the player emotionally. I started feeling sad when I saw that part too.
Gamespot always does better reviews then IGN, nice job. Homefront is decent for a first release / new IP, it does well. The movement is like Call of duty, the gameplay is different enough to keep you attached for awhile. It only gets better from here.
I played this infront of my parents ((my dad wanted to see how good the story is)), hit them hard at the beginning, especially with the child scene. My mom stopped watching after having enough of the depressing scene, and my dad and I took turns playing through. He loved the game, I love the game, and if I don't feel like playing Black Ops with my friends, I just hop on this game's multiplayer.
I never said mw3 is a revolutionary game, but it does what the series is known for and it does it well. Both homefront and mw3 are average shooters but id rather play a cod game than a cod clone anyday.
@Btroopz they are 1 continues on and you still play as the main character and one takes place in hawaii were you play a SAS officer and there is a sequel thats suppose to be in london or it maybe DLC but you wont be sad anymore :D
And also, I notice tons of similarities between Homefront and Call of Duty. First of all, in multiplayer your feats are shown in green text above the crosshairs, the radar is in the same place and has the same look, and the sprint animations look suspiciously similar. This almost looks like a mod.
@preethamable it's about 5-8 hours.............it worth renting.........the experience in this game was never seen in another game.....this was the first game that made me feel bad when i see someone dies.......it portrays war in a new and original way !!! if u can't rent it......Then BUY IT !!!
@wolf35553 No, it has the best backstory. I absolutely fell in love with the story. I thought that it would be awesome to play in this world that the developers had created. I followed the story when they posted the timeline on the website and was really looking forward to it. But the thing was was that the game just lacked the same realistic humanizing aspect that the original story did. You needed to know the story to like the game, and even then it was hard.
i like the look of this game but ill prob only play it for the beta, and do any of u guys know is bulletstorm any good. i hear the campaign is good but that is all u can really do.
@deluke3 crysis 2..what the reviewer doesnt say is the crazy amount of server issues this game has.. check the homefront forums to further show my point
to be a amazing game this needs a longer story, better graphics, slightly better gameplay. The idea for the story makes me really want to get this game, but all the negative aspects are making it really hard to justify parting with 50 bucks. I'll probably wait till it drops in price.
Now THIS was a well done review. I am a little disappointed they only gave it a 7 out of 10, but unlike the drudge that is IGN's review, it makes a 7 sound good, since it is, instead of like shit.
@patrickkez NO NO NO. the game is totally worth it guys. single player is short, but epic. multiplayer is awesome, but needs patches and server work. im also getting BF3, but cant stand playing COD anymore after Black Ops.
picked this up yesterday for 8 bucks[used] @ Gamestop,along with "Bulletstorm"[also 8 bucks] and have to say it is a VERY strong title all the way around,while it may not be a "COD" or "BF" killer,it most definitely is much more emotional & will tug @ your heart strings,and really makes you want to kick ass and get revenge,also it is awesome to finally see a title that does not glorify War,but shows you just how utterly disgusting & inhuman War truly is,very solid game @ a gr8 price~
@UH60Austin that depends what you like, Crysis 2 is something like Halo and maybe Killzone, Homefront is like the reproduction of Battlefield and CoD on steroids, but there are things on homefront that Crysis doesn't have, same thing reversed. In my opinion I recommend getting Homefront first and later getting Crysis 2, you will be entertained until the Crysis release date with Homefront, you will be getting your money's worth with Homefront and don't worry, Crysis 2 will be worth the wait :)
2:20 both parents get killed.
Thus that kid grew up and became BATMAN!
Spider-Man
That moment where both the parents were shot sent chills down my spine.
Man, that scene had me jaw dropped feeling bad for the kid
This was supposed to be Red Dawn.
This was so worth the 3 dollars I spent. Too bad multiplayer is shut down. I want to try it.
WE STILL HAVE GUYS THAT PLAY GAMER TAG IS NYBADBOY ON XBOX
Does this game still have active multiplayer on PS3
?
@TheTemplar117 Um, is it sort of blurry, as if it was scaled or something? If so, you should try to make your TV play in native resolution. Cheers! =DDD
@BacteriumsBud I checked my tv and it says HDTV and it says HDMI, my tv is a Sylvania dolby digital tv. Is there a setting I'm supposed to change?
@Guernicaman I barely notice screen tearing from having v sync off and no it doesn't save a few frames. It saves a lot of frames. Get used to it.
picked it up for little over $4 used today on Xbox 360. kind old but the guy at game-stop said way better then the new one and plays great
so how decent is this game for only singleplayer, any modes other than campaign? replay value?
when you're aiming down the sight. is the bullet-spread tight like in CoD or do you actually need to burst-fire like in BC2?
what should i get brink or homefront
@TheTemplar117 Did you have a HD TV or HDMI cable?
should i get this or fear 3 ? and how many maps in homefront
Help me.Please!!Should i buy this game,black ops or killzone 3?i only have enough money for 1,maybe 2....
Can someone please tell me what the song is at the very start? Thanks
I just started playing last month, it has been my most played multiplayer shooter ever since, still diggin it in 2013! Would love a sequel bring on Homefront 2!!
If I bought this game for pc. will I find Many servers "MORE THAN 200server " on the multiplayer?
Thank you, please reply!
@Estillz96 well what would you reccomend?
So i justn got this game for xmas and i still havent opened it deciding wheter to return it and get somethin else like MW3 or battlefield 3 or jus keep it, wat shud i do?
which would u advice,
Homefront or Crysis 2
@okitroid Thats why I am really excited for RAGE and hopefully Crysis 2's campaign will be as long as the first which was around 10 hours. Couldn't agree with you more about developers sinking all their time in multiplayer and basically throw a single player campaign out the window.
did you get it? i'm about to buy it, but if the MP is dead then it's not worth paying 20 for 5 hours of gameplay
does anyone play this on ps3 multiplayer anymore,i was thinkin bout buyin it
The servers are closed since 2012
Is this game worth buying for 10£? The ultimate edition?
Or should I go with Killzone 3 instead?
What game should I buy?
@96komodo wat r u gettin HF 4
I have to admit that the Singleplayer wasn't as good as I thought (that doesn't mean it's not good at all) but the multiplayer is pretty amazing.
Btw: the developer (KAOS Studios) also created Battlefield 2 and 2142.

It's worth the (little) money!
guys how long is the singleplayer in this game? is it longer than medal of honor and black ops?is it worth buying?
should i get this game?
i wonder if theres one for mac
Is this game worth buying?
@MrWatchmen759 i think you mean "number of sales" and as far as I know the studio was not shut down
The question that has been hauntinge is should i buy homrfront or crysis 2? Please help im buying it on friday need to decide

Should I get this or Crysis 2? Please respond!
@nfdids
what realy they didnt get shut down can you please explane to me how you know that am realy hopeing for a new homefront
This was a great game - too short though.
what was the name of the song playin at the start of the review.
Darude Sandstorm
@xmrassasin If you buy the game used then you don't get that little pass code. That pass code lets you go to the max. If you dont have it your capped at 5.
do ppl still play this on xbox in 2012?
Finally a theme that actually depicts the horrors of war. I genuinely felt sad when the little kid's parents were killed and the last words of the mother that preceded it.
@SkullxKing brink is looking really innovative but being so different is risky, which is why homefront decided to be safe.
Why? Please explain.
I did
I got it with the THQ bundle and before buying it have never heard of Homefront but now its currently one of my top 10 favorite games on my account and I have over a 100 steam games.
I will definately preorder Homefront 2 when it comes out this year....if they don't push the release date back like with most games these days.
even though it was short i enjoyed the story of homefront better than any fps in recent memory, it was actually emotionally engaging rather than just a bunch of overly butch dudes blowing shit up, i hope whoever picks the sequel up keeps an engaging story
@jhak1341 Who's toby?
This, killzone or crysis?
the plot of this game is actually believable (unlike some other fps campaigns out there)
seeing as fuel sources are becomming more scarce (you can tell by price rises)
anyone else not able to find a match in multiplayer?
What I don't understand is why the developers didn't include support for multiplayer with bots. The multiplayer mode looks so fun, to bad the servers are gone..
The Game Collector i remember playing the beta and regret everytime i think that i didnt buy this game when it came out. i had a blast playing the multiplayer, more so than any bf or cod at that time...
no offline multiplayer?
I bought this game a few days ago. I'm a COD guy and I love this game. But single player is too short so if you're thinking about buying this game just for SP, be prepared to waste 40 something dollars for just about 5 hrs of gameplay.

Drones, like Frontlines Fuel of War. The greatest FPS ever conceived. This game is almost like a sequel.

@ShadoShokk I'm pretty sure there was much discussion on putting it there... it was to show the curroption of what was going on.
how many games have you played where 'hide in the mass grave' is an objective
i almost freaking teared up when i heard that boy cry when his parents got shot
@scar432 Reason please?stil noth sure;)
i havent bought this game yet, but the campaign looks extremely believable. honestly if i played the game then i'd actually pay attention to cutscenes and scenery, unlike games like call of duty with predictable cliffhangers and twists that make no sense. this game's campaign id actually consider as a well crafted narrative.
@fol900 It's supposed to make you feel that way. I thought that was an excellent addition to help immerse the player emotionally. I started feeling sad when I saw that part too.
Homefront is one of the best Multiplayers on OnLive... even though I do wish for BF3 or Halo 4 to come to OnLive :/
You do know I meant OnLive and that's why I called it "OnLive" not Xbox Live.
Gamespot always does better reviews then IGN, nice job. Homefront is decent for a first release / new IP, it does well. The movement is like Call of duty, the gameplay is different enough to keep you attached for awhile. It only gets better from here.
I think so, the campaign is good (short though) and the multiplayer is well worth it in my eyes.
Good review. I beat the game in slightly under 4 hours, and couldn't even connect to an Xbox Live game. Glad I rented it.
I played this infront of my parents ((my dad wanted to see how good the story is)), hit them hard at the beginning, especially with the child scene. My mom stopped watching after having enough of the depressing scene, and my dad and I took turns playing through. He loved the game, I love the game, and if I don't feel like playing Black Ops with my friends, I just hop on this game's multiplayer.
I never said mw3 is a revolutionary game, but it does what the series is known for and it does it well.
Both homefront and mw3 are average shooters but id rather play a cod game than a cod clone anyday.
@Btroopz they are 1 continues on and you still play as the main character and one takes place in hawaii were you play a SAS officer and there is a sequel thats suppose to be in london or it maybe DLC but you wont be sad anymore :D
And also, I notice tons of similarities between Homefront and Call of Duty. First of all, in multiplayer your feats are shown in green text above the crosshairs, the radar is in the same place and has the same look, and the sprint animations look suspiciously similar. This almost looks like a mod.
@colafass
It was very, very sick. I had no idea they could show that.
@ShadoShokk what's the problem with that movies showcase these type of things all the time...batman, many disaster movies etc.
@ShadoShokk Rated M for Mature.... how old are you?
@mu5ic1 not at all its just grainy
Looks like a brilliant game. As much as I love graphically beautiful games, I'll still be picking this up for it's story.
@preethamable it's about 5-8 hours.............it worth renting.........the experience in this game was never seen in another game.....this was the first game that made me feel bad when i see someone dies.......it portrays war in a new and original way !!! if u can't rent it......Then BUY IT !!!

i like the look of this game but ill prob only play it for the beta, and do any of u guys know is bulletstorm any good. i hear the campaign is good but that is all u can really do.
Home-Front look like awesome video-game and also sad to hear the campaign is only 5 hours long
@WallyWadeMovies
buy second hand for 30$ - play - sell for 30$.
Money cost: zero dollars.
5 hours.. Not short??? OMG
@deluke3 crysis 2..what the reviewer doesnt say is the crazy amount of server issues this game has.. check the homefront forums to further show my point
to be a amazing game this needs a longer story, better graphics, slightly better gameplay. The idea for the story makes me really want to get this game, but all the negative aspects are making it really hard to justify parting with 50 bucks. I'll probably wait till it drops in price.
tons i played the demo and almost all the servers had 32 players each
"In the spirit of Half Life..." I already like these reviewers.
@warringah08 oh he does i didnt know i put please by exident
Now THIS was a well done review. I am a little disappointed they only gave it a 7 out of 10, but unlike the drudge that is IGN's review, it makes a 7 sound good, since it is, instead of like shit.
@96komodo why would u reply really
This game is great, contrary to many people's beliefs and opinions about this game. I love the game and I will continue to defend and support it.
That kid at 2:25 has a good chance of becoming Batman.
@96komodo ....No, it's a video game.
I found the campaign short (yet fun), and the multilayer did not offer much more the COD4. The concept is amazing if your into politics and stuff
@patrickkez NO NO NO. the game is totally worth it guys. single player is short, but epic. multiplayer is awesome, but needs patches and server work. im also getting BF3, but cant stand playing COD anymore after Black Ops.

The graphics were not that bad, couple problems but that's all. This game is a great game.

@st82nd well no my voice isnt squeky any more i was able to grow my balls back and now i sound normal again
