This game looks like it might be pretty dam awesome. I am going to be keeping an eye on it.

I can't wait for it to be released. The premise so far is captivating. Now we just need to see some game vids and more pics. Any one else wonder if the Homefront scenario is possible IRL?

I don't think it's probable, but it is possible...albeit remote for the most part. The early part of the trailer seemed to have a hole in the plot, which is when the two Koreas were reunited, was it a military takeover or a peaceful reconciliation? Whatever happens in the story at that juncture probably plays into the rest of the overall story.

Still, that scenario they displayed was downright scary. :shock:

I would think peaceful. Like Kim Jong-un would try to go against his fathers way of ruling as a ruse. Uniting North and South Korea as the stepping stone for the Homefront story. Or I could be over-thinking a video game. :)


Still, that scenario they displayed was downright scary. :shock:

Very much so. I just hope the game doesn't give Kim Jong-un any ideas. :lol:

[Timmy_2_Tones]

I would have to say it is a peaceful operation. Otherwise we would be at war with Korea long before this story takes place.

I just want to say that I just watched the Homefront preview and I am working a chub.......

this normal for a submariner, in sight of men and Hillary Clinton?

[MaximusR3]

unless it were a hostile takeover of the north by the south? in which case we back the south so we don't stop it but don't physically step in to avoid a full scale war and loss of American soldiers either. Then the evil leader of the south slowly starts to show his true form?

lol i don't know, going out on a limb but people do like story twists so that could be a possibility.

You sir are made of win.

But I have to admit that the trailer and game premise is very exciting. All I want though is to see some game footage or more info on the game.

Also, $20.00 a gallon?!?! Soon we'll see this.

HAHAHAHA! this is most Epic I might say

[MrTrendkill]

I like everyone's idea's on the possibilities of this happening, and it would definetly be a scary idea, but who knows... the game though looks very very awesome, just hope it isn't gonna be a flop!

[WrenchSlinger]

Homefronts release date got pushed by from February to April or May, which is a good thing for me. They were set to release on the same day as Killzone 3 and Bulletstorm. They were saying it is because of a technical delay, but I think it was a wise move to get away from those other games!

[WrenchSlinger]

New Homefront multiplayer video, looking pretty good to me!

The more I read about Homefront the more I like it. Here is a nice quote from the article about the " Battle Points " system they're using kind of like killstreak reward, but you have to purchase them. The link to the full review is at the bottom.

THQ's Core Games VP Danny Bilson, who opened with an acknowledgment of their rival shooters: "There are very unique ways to play Homefront that separate us from our most-excellent competition, who we are consistently competing with every day." he explained. "As they keep raising the bar, we keep raising ours and I keep torturing the studio with quality standards". The primary "unique way" they would be revealing to us here is what they call the "Battle Points" system.

The rounds we played were your basic capture and defend the point scenarios (think Battlefield's "Conquest" and Modern Warfare's "Domination" modes), but this Battle Points mechanic makes for a pretty different experience. BP is the in-game currency and is certain to become Homefront's most significant multiplayer element. In Battle Points rounds, you're awarded points for performing various objectives during the match, like say 30 points for fragging an enemy infantry with 10 additional points for a headshot; 100 points for destroying an enemy tank etc. Points are also awarded by accomplishing team objectives -- the example we were shown was capturing (or assisting with the capture of) a command point.

As soon as you bank enough of these points, you can spend them straight away on basic deploys by mashing a hotkey. As we were demoing the Xbox 360 version, these were mapped to the D-Pad buttons, left, right and down and the choices available are things like a rocket-launcher, instant ammo re-supply, airstrikes and remote controlled drones. The three deploys available to us varied with the selected class: Assault, Sniper, Recon etc which also dictates your weapon load-out and appearance. These classes were all preset for the purposes of the demo, but we were informed that custom-classes would be creatable in the final game.

For example, the assault class might have an assault rifle, sidearm, grenades and the deploys RPG, ammo re-supply and heli-drone while a recon class might have a shotgun, machine-pistol, flash grenades with ammo re-supply, air-strikes and a ground-drone and so on. Selecting a starting config isn't a difficult choice as you can switch between classes every time you respawn and pick a load-out appropriate to what you want to be doing at any given point in the match.

The insta-deploys are at the cheaper end of the scale, so if you see an enemy chopper you can purchase an RPG or Stinger and bam, instant surface-to-air capability, or you can purchase a more expensive recon-drone and remotely drive the little armoured-bot around painting enemy targets for your teammates (who can then see those targets through solid walls as they move around -- remember we're talking a bit of 2025 future-tech here). But it's not always that easy a choice, because if you want the real heavy machinery, you can't be spending paycheck-to-paycheck -- you have to save up for that shit.

I'm talking of course, about vehicles, which start at a few hundred for a basic hummer and run well into the thousands for an attack helicopter. Unlike the instant deploys, these can only be purchased from the deployment screen in-between respawns, but the best part is, you spawn right into it. No more of that walking for miles to your base's vehicle depot and waiting for a chopper to respawn, you materialise on the map right in the hot-seat and there's also the option there to spawn directly into your teammates' purchased vehicles if they have a spare passenger/gunner seat.

Interview with Lead Multiplayer Designer
[gametrailers:37txfror]705583[/gametrailers:37txfror]

Below is part of an article from 1UP.com Describing a new spin on a point/money system, perks, and ways to acquire vehicles in game: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3181765
This is one game to keep an eye on.


On the surface, Homefront feels a lot like a streamlined and polished Frontlines: Fuel of War. The mode I play, Ground Control, has control points that shift around the map depending on which team is performing better -- similarly to how Frontlines moved its, well, frontlines during a match. Whatever map you're playing on, there are defined control points that you capture by standing near them; whichever team holds onto these points long enough ends up pushing the battle forward into their opponent's territory and opening a new set of control points. These shifts in control point location aren't fixed or permanent -- so a multiplayer match can have a real tug-of-war style flow (this effect is most pronounced on large 32-player matches, where the map spans from a whole farm on the east to an entire steel mill to the west).

And like Frontlines (among other modern combat FPS titles), Homefront features a mix of firearms, character classes, vehicles, and combat drones. While you can eventually customize your own class with a set of gear and what seems to be a perk system, the basics I play include setups like Assault fellows sporting assault rifles and air assault drones, Ghosts carrying suppressed submachine guns and recon drones, Heavies brandishing light-machine guns and ground assault drones, and the like. The first map I play, Cul-De-Sac, is an intimate 16-player affair that focuses on infantry and drones. It's a little slice of America -- one where I can call in a recon drone to spot and mark enemies scurrying around the parked cars and idle fences for my allies, or settle on someone's roof for a sniping run, or hide in a garage and guide a ground assault drone to tread around and hit fools with its miniguns.

The earlier-mentioned 32-player map, Farm, is where I get to mess with the vehicles (such as, in layman's terms, an APC, a tank, and a helicopter) more. Unlike other combined-forces FPS games (ahem, Battlefield), vehicles don't just spawn in at predetermined map points. You have to actively spawn into a vehicle -- so whether you're driving or being a sidegunner, you spawn into an existing vehicle that either you or someone else called in. No more waiting in line for a vehicle -- vehicles become present as players call for them.

As commented earlier, the most predominant thought I have during multiplayer stems directly from Homefront's main addition: money. Rather than experience or support points, you earn "battle points" during gameplay; what differs them from similar systems is the fact that you can either bank, or spend, these points for items during battle. Pretty much every significant action in the game rewards you: marking a foe with the recon drone earns something like 30 points; capturing an objective nets 250; shooting someone earns 50 points; doing so with a headshot earns an additional 20 points. One time, I manage to headshot some fool who was in the middle of attacking a teammate -- in addition to the points for his death, I also gain bonuses for the headshot, for saving a teammate, and for avenging myself and another teammate (since he had just killed both me and a buddy moments before).

Now, you can use your banked battle points to grab minor items like additional ammunition magazines or rocket launchers (dumb-fire or lock-on, depending on your loadout) for a paltry 50 battle points. Or you can spend 400 to snag a drone. Or you can keep banking to save up for a 1400 battle point tank, or an even more expensive helicopter. Since your battle points only deplete when spent, it's possible for even an unskilled player to snag a vehicle. While something like Call of Duty requires an uninterrupted kill streak to snag an equivalent reward, Frontline's developers are aiming for a system where being a good team player -- even when you're not the best shooter -- can still get you access to the cool gear. Before I get into my sniping groove, I bank a lot of points by just calling in a recon drone, having it circle the map, and marking targets for my team. The battle points also add a subtle effect to the overall flow of the match, as matches tend to begin with default weapons, but as time progresses, players purchase more exotic gear, drones, and vehicles. This in turn gives the match a concrete "escalation" feel, where a skirmish starts with just pistols and rifles and ends with multiple tanks and helicopters weaving and shooting about.

So it's this battle points system that adds that third thought to my head while playing multiplayer. I'm constantly trying to figure out ways to earn money a little faster. Just so I can spawn into a helicopter and have it rain rockets down on the opposing team. Or to give myself a tank...or maybe spend a little bit to get the rocket launcher to take out the other team's tank. The version I play is just a multiplayer pre-alpha; but the simple tweak of earning and spending money during a match, on top of the improved control point/frontline foundation of the previous game, is enough to keep me interested. It's also amusing that ultimately, the main thing that distinguishes Homefront's multiplayer is capitalism -- the very thing that you're basically fighting for during the game, single or multiplayer, as a whole.

The money/point system is only during that match so I guess if you start a new match the money/points you gained in previous match is a use or lose thing so it resets but you still keep experience earned since that is a separate system.

Excellent. That's one of the best ideas I've heard of in a long while.

I posted a similar article in the Game Lounge section and agree this shoud make for a different game experience with the small stuff at the beginning of the game to a full out war in the end! Link below is from Homefront's blog about Battle Points.

Sorry for reposting almost the same thing you did but I haven't been on here in a long time and things are just scattered all over the place now. I guess I should have looked around better first before I posted. Nice find you made to their actual blog which gives nice details on the Battle Points.

That's cool! I had to dig a few pages back to find it myself.

Yeah, I've been watching and reading anything I can find on Homefront. Looks like it could be some good competition for CoD if they get it right. I like the story and multiplayer looks to change stuff up. The video I saw kind of reminded me of BFBC2. There's rumors of a beta over at their website, so I try to check in from time to time.

Xbox getting dlc first



360 Gets Homefront First
Date: Jan 14, 2011
Author: Anthony Gallegos

IGN is here at THQ's Gamer's Week where it was just announced that there is already DLC in the works. No one was surprised, but what did give us pause was when Larry Hyrb -- better known as Xbox Live's Major Nelson -- came out to announce that all DLC will come to the Xbox 360 first.

The 360 will have all new content first, as well as an exclusive map called Suburbs. No word was mentioned about what might be included in the DLC or how much it will cost.

Stay tuned to IGN for more information on THQ's upcoming shooter Homefront, including a new multiplayer preview on Friday January 21st.

I've always been a fan of red dawn type of stories.

What really had me scared at one point was my last year at ft. Lewis. As we prepped for our red duty. We got a briefing detailing and plan for drawing ammo from the AHA and assigned positions to defend the Tacoma, olympia, Seattle ft. Lewis area from an sea, land, and air assaults

***ALERT***

DO NOT BUY. I REPEAT DO NOT BUY!!! Horrible game. Very slow. While in campaign you wait forever for the AI to catch up to you. You cannot advance until all team members are with you. It is very SLOW. The MP is ok. Not great. It is very easy to kill and be killed. My 5 year old son can whoop ass in this game. It is a waste of money and I wish id never bought it. The graphics are downright appalling. There are a lot of glitchy graphics. i played a whole level where my AI team members face was a blob. The Whol control of the game and pace is very slow...

[NHHC]

Thats not a good sign, I was going to pick it up this morning before work. Maybe I will wait a few days now. See how others report on it too.

WELL I REM. seeing a post somewhere on here that back in jan. they need stress tester... for XBOX only of course lol. well maybe you should have bought a PS3 and homefront for it. haha but of course PS3 wasnt asking ppl to stress test haha just giving you a hard time silent.

[sickpuppy79]

well i think it is worth its money... i have played MP and also my wife is playing the single player mode while i watch her. lol we got to spend time together some how lol but like any. neew game there is bugs . like joining a party but hey its allways a good sign when there is more players trying to play then they have servers but they are working on dat as we speak thank god

[MARDIGRA21]

The MP is ok. Not great.

I disagree about the mp that is the best part in this game which is what I bought it for as soon as they fix the server issues I'll see u guys online

[XxSilentxFartxX]

Its not even about the server..Im only a lvl 23 in COD. Its safe to say im not the best MP player and I went like 18 and 0 my first MP game..Super easy to kill and super easy to camp...Yes it is fun cuz there so myuch going on, but it isnt the greatest ive ever played..The SP..i like it to be fast paced..this whole gotta wait crap isnt cut for me. All in all the whole vibe i get from the game is Drab gameplay..yes the story line is cool but they coulda sharpened up the controls and graphics a little bit..

[Warhammer0351]

When I was able to play, before the servers went down, I noticed the gameplay was different from Black Ops. I had to change my style of playing. Yes, there was ALOT of campers and snipers! It's ALOT easier to snipe in this game compared to Black Ops. And of course there's ALWAYS going to be campers. My first game I went like 3 kills and like 15 deaths cuz I was running around and the camping/snipers were getting me from litterally (?) across the map! The sniping distamce is INSANE! I usually don't snipe (cuz I can't), but decided to. I was playing the Farm map in a private match (cuz the servers were down) and climbed on to the water tower and was able to snipe the other team across the whole map with ease! And they couldn't hit me cuz I was out of their range! That's crazy unfair! Also, trying to play with my friends was terrible! Even when I had friends in my party, somehow they got put on the other team! If we was able to get in a match! The whole time I was able to play the MP, I had only one or two bars of connection! WTF? I tried the Campaign after I got tired of fighting with the server problem and got pissed off at it. It was kinda slow. Maybe it was because I had drank too much or something. LOL!! I'm going to try it again today. Hopefully things will be better! Just my opinion though. I have no plans on taking it back..........yet!

[saviger]

I had the problems Silent described at first, but once installed to the 360 HDD all the textures load smoothly and the game just runs better over all.

i have to say the story in SP is pretty good. The graphics on my 360 started out good but they did die down a bit not the greatest but its ok. Now for the MP i love this part of the game. 32 players on the map is insane and the point system for the vehicles makes it fair in the beginning. I love the MP and if y'all see me playing feel free to join me. On the 360 of course

[saviger]

The battle commander mode with ground control is freakn sweet!

It will tag your nemesis, and anyone else on the other team that is kill streaking. with different bonuses for either air, infantry or vehicle when you start to get a kill steak yourself.

You start off with 2 people having you marked, then once you get to kill streak of 4 you got 6 people with you marked. But you got a personal UAV sweep and other cool perks activated.

you can get allot of points for taking out the guy thats marked depending on how high his kill streak is.

its allot of fun!

You start off with 2 people having you marked, then once you get to kill streak of 4 you got 6 people with you marked. But you got a personal UAV sweep and other cool perks activated.

you can get allot of points for taking out the guy thats marked depending on how high his kill streak is.

its allot of fun!

That sounds pretty cool...makes a change from running round killing at random. However, I would be marked...and stalked...and killed repeatedly lol. I only played that wargame thing once with UMG and guess what?...yup I was the target! :p

Lol!

Well, the single player is definitely short but not any shorter than the other ones I guess.

The MP is a great with the exception of the current bugs like the play as a party thing and the once in awhile stall.

Sniping is easy but they do provide good ways to get rid of snipers such as choppers, drones, and missile strikes. The guns seem somewhat even and the game play is interesting.....but overall fun. There is a lot of map and being able to go prone is cool. The spotting thing is interesting. There are a lot of campers, but I haven't seen crazy awesome camping spots. The best sniping spots are easy to spot and snipe back at. People can still run and gun if they are smart about it. Vehicles are decent although choppers seem too strong for armor. Shouldn't take multiple rockets to shoot one down. Overall this will be a good buy in light of the variety of the game.

I have a couple of friends of mine on the 360 tell me that they have been reset on Homefront. They tell me that they were a decent high level like 60, then all of a sudden they were back at level one. I haven't been reset....yet. When I went to the Homefront website, there were alot of complaints about it happening to other people also. Is this another fail for Homefront? I even heard that everybody was going to be reset. I guess due to all the hackers? All I can say, is I do get reset, then that's the nail in the coffin and it's going back!

[XxSilentxFartxX]

Same here although ive been unable to achieve a high level due to the epic fail of servers...

[justj12479]

I take it I should save my money instead of going out to get it, with all the stuff I've been hearing about it. Too bad, it looked like a really cool game!:(

I then later got on my system and I was back to where I belonged. Homefront has ALOT of potential to be a great game but, they really need to fix all their server issues.

[indyred99]

Played this morning and its all good. I really do like the multiplayer. Need more 360 gamers on it to play with though.

Every time I tried to get on MP the other night (first time I tried) my system would freeze...over and over, I had to switch off PS3 each time as I couldn't even get back to xmb. Eventually I managed to get on the one with just 16 players ....but not yet managed to connect to other games with more players.


I really liked the campaign though, it was pretty easy I thought ...even for me. :rolleyes:

It was quite short and I was disappointed when it finished as I was really enjoying it.

Then I messed around on the online mode for 10 minutes and the map was good but was getting shot all over from...where? I couldn't even see where the shots/snipes were coming from lol. So I got bored and switched off without finishing the match.

[XxSilentxFartxX]

On the 360 i also have issues with it freezing my system..

[indyred99]

I don't have the freezing issues thankfully.

Well that was it! I have had it with Homefront! So sad though! It could have been a great game! Took it back with Bulletstorm last night and got Crysis 2! The little I played of it was awesome! Haven't tried the MP yet. Will do when I get home from work today!

[GriffinSentinel]

Just got finished playing a few matches of TDM in Homefront and was curious what you use for your favorite loadout and what your tactics are with it. For me, I came upon an Armory Loadout that works rather well for my namesake.

Eye of the Eagle Loadout

Primary Weapon:
Super V SMG w/ Mk 3 Holo Scope (for moving fast and shooting on the go if needed)

Special Explosive:
Flashbang

Purchase slots:
AQ-11 Buzzard (spooks the enemy when explosions are around them)
RQ-10 Parrot (my main tool and claim to fame. keeping an eye on the enemy at all times so you have situational awareness)

Infantry Abilities:
Drone Be Gone! (faster drones mean they are harder to hit and cover more ground to tag the enemy)
My Buddy (longer running time for more tagging action)
Crater-to-Order (large explosion just in case i'm close to the ground and can take an enemy out in the blast)
Penny Pincher (cheaper drones? yes please)

Basically at the start of the match find a spot to go prone and hopefully be safe. From there send out your first Parrot ans start tagging in the enemy spawn zone. Keep the drone moving to avoid getting shot down and tag the same enemies if needed till more are in range. If done right you can cover the enemy side of the map at all times and earn a lot of tag and assist BP. Keep this up till around the time when you can get the Scout or Attack Heli and help clean up in the last moments of the match. out of five matches with this loadout my team won four with a sizable lead (the best was by over 60 kills). You wont get many kills your self but the assists are something to be proud of (ranging from 28 -42). My best K-A-D with this was 10-42-2.

What do you guys think?

[XxSilentxFartxX]

I think you need to play with me and Indy

[Ironhide400]

I think I need to open my copy and play it sometime! ;)

[Warhammer0351]

I got "reset" and took my copy back. I had had enough!

[GriffinSentinel]

Sounds good. We'll set a match up. Also it looks like the ratio went down a bit 3-25-1. still not bad.

[indyred99]

This morning THQ released a patch for Homefront for the 360. Says its supposed to fix the freezing issue. I never had the issue. All in all the game is fun.

I noticed that too. Only had it happen once so it wasn't a big deal for me. Still glad to see they fixed one problem. Now they just need to fix the amount of ground and air vehicles allowed in a match at one time. 3 tanks/helis at once!? Really?

JK. That just seems to be how it works. Besides, it seems that the 360 finds the bugs to be fixed for the PS3. You're welcome for the better game of the year version.

Look it's ok...it's common knowledge that PS3 gamers are better people than 360 gamers. 360 players are terrible people! There is a great divide and we all hate each other for very good reason. You choose your side and off you go. You made your choice. There I said it :cool:

Bahahahahaha!

Joking! ...but you'd think sometimes wouldn't you lol!

Got the SCEA patch and the game is actually working. Plus everyone has full bars.

[jack]

might trade crysis 2 for this then lol.

[A-25TH-ID-VET]

Yeah, I was actually playing earlier and had no problems getting into a match. I was lagging at times but, I think that's on my end.

[Pakman3000]

Homefront is one of the worst games I've ever played. The MP had promised but overall the whole package is flawed. Alot of hype and it never delivered IMHO.

[indyred99]

I've never really had to many issues. I like the MP.

Must have been a Europe issue then cos I think I only manged to connect to a couple of games without it freezing on me. Maybe I'll take another look

I took my copy back. After playing for about ten minutes at level 28 or something, game froze. I then got kicked back to the main menu. When signing back in to play MP again, I had been reset to level 1. And that was the last straw! That's why I took mine back!

[David_3033]

Sounds like a good thing I didn't waste my money on this.

I sitll haven't decided if this game is worth buying... i'd only play the campaign... any thoughts?

[xashecrimsonx]

I suggest Gamefly or Ebay for starters don't pay full price if your only doing the campaign. If you played Frontlines: Fuel of War that company created it as well. If your a graphics person then I don't recommend the game. The overall story I thought progressed way too fast, but still a litte intertaining.

There is a Homefront 2 and DLC in the works. The best part about the game is the MP. It plays more like a battlefield game than BOs.

[ladym123]

I loved the campaign as it was pretty easy ...even on the hardest mode. If you like a massive challenge then I doubt you will find it in this game, but if you like to enjoy a game for the story and ease of play then definitely a good buy. The maps were fun imo. I have never played online as it kept freezing on me but what I did see of it was quite fun. Saviger is the best person to ask as far as online play goes as he played a lot and seemed to enjoy it.

[Warhammer0351]

Oh don't get me wrong! The Campaign (IMO) was AWESOME but WAY too short! Graphics were kinda questionable though. It took less than 6 hours or so to finish it. To me, the MP was horrible! I would say rent it and go from there! Most rental places give you a couple of days to rent. Which is MORE than enough time to finish it! Just my opinion though! Semper Fi!!

[indyred99]

Ill put my .02 in on the MP. The multiplayer is good. Once you have a person with a chopper they can tear you to pieces quickly. Get the anti tank drone to take it out fast. The MP is fun a lot of sniping but you can get around that if you know where to go.

that's ok, from the looks of things the demo players are separated from the standard servers because everyone in the few matches i played seemed very new to the game. the highest leveled person i saw was 7 and i ranked up to 4 in two matches so theres no way there was anyone with the actual game in there

Haven't heard this game mentioned in a while now. Anybody still play it? I had it, but took it back because of connection issues. Have they improved it any? Was thinking about renting it and checking it out again.
