According Rock Paper Shotgun, the reviews for this game on the net is very promising.

Anyone play this game yet???

You bought?

Going to take awhile to finish downloading this.

some review showed that the SP is rather short. the highlight is the MP, is a BFBC:COD style with ai General.

No, tats y wanna hear user review
Dint bought it while it has Metro2033 FOC, so not going to buy it at full price.

Added on March 15, 2011, 3:18 pmyup, the sp sounds interesting, but short.

"Campaign is thrilling from start to finish; story is emotionally impactful; tight shooting is oh-so satisfying; AI is incredible; sound design is phenomenal."

mp...

"multiplayer is a Call of Duty copycat."

Steam says Available NAO!!!

ya i know, i heard that around afternoon and check my Steam is there already to start download/install :C so saddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd T_T

Hopefully will have plenty of people to play with

Preloaded homefront. And can't even play due to streamyx down at my place.. Same goes to shogun 2

How long will your streamyx be down for?

Better than me, I am currently heavily bogged down with work till end of March.

Unifi downloading homefront. left 4 hours

Playing it now. Look out for a couple mentions of Malaysia in the news clippings scattered around the early levels. First one can be found near the outside perimeter of the school.

mind i ask where can dl?

dunno, i bought from steam. :C

hmm i mean demo version...isit available?

Nope, there's no demo for Homefront.

alrite

Read the PCPP review, they said if you want the MP, get it. The SP is forgettable, but the MP is quite well made.

ok this one or crysis 2? hehe...since all COD copy cat.

Buy both.

lol...homefront has servers in our region?

oh heck..if i know ur dilemma...i could team up with u to buy the pack.

u take the homefront,i just wanna the metro2033 (even though i finished the game a while ago...)

too late liao... wake for THQ sales

hmmm any local server?? or the ping isnt tat bad?

Looks like it's gonna take a while to dl this game from steam

who will host the game server?

they said just 5 hours gameplay in SP mode..... i gonna ignore this~

I thought just about most of the current batch of SP for FPS is around 5 hours as well?

look naise .. but 5 hour for sp...

i bought it lol

Sooooo many negative review bout this game, both SP and MP.

Graphic is old, the camera angles, weapons in this game are quite bland, similar accuracy, similar firepower, no bullet penetration, your companion run on exploding grenade and dun even fell down.. the list goes on.

No sure how many of them is true, but 4 hours SP and MP equal to COD clone... I get it when it is priced below USD10

Same will wait for sales. Probably buy it from Gamer's Gate as my Steam HDD is almost full.

gun firing sound effect nice or not? pc run on cod mw1 can run smooth on this game or not?

Left it to download through the night. Only reached 57%...

what is the size of the game?

i m curious. steam shows $50? but retail copy charging $45.
can someone comfirm this.

Where do you find retail selling at USD45? Amazon doesn't count. Retail here is RM159

PS: The game is 50 bucks US. variations are due to discounts or other factors(like Amazon)


EDIT: Wait I posted in the wrong thread about the wrong game. Anyway, Homefront might have issues. The publishers has had issues with stock lately and the distributer hasn't said anything much. Patience, or buy digitally.

This post has been edited by frags: Mar 16 2011, 03:33 PM

About 9gb plus, if I remember correctly.

PA, its $45 for homefront on stock. oddly digital supposed to be cheaper.

That is not always the case. If there is stock specific for this region we can get below US pricing. Like EA games.

something i like about EA, they tend to keep their pricing at $43 for Asia regions even with digital downloads. Activision on the other hand... grrr.

might be getting this for x360 since pc version is attached to steam

what software u used? me only 0.3% lol after 2days

short SP is acceptable to me. because i never play SP in most of my FPS games which have MP. hehe...i havent even start the first level of BFBC2 campaign after bout a year of playing it.

This game or Crysis 2 or Gaming maus?

Don't buy this game for full price. Its not worth it. Even MP also is cheap rip off of COD. At least Crysis 2 rip off plays much better. Buy this only at sales time.

bought the game, its sort of okay. didnt touch sp, but mp its like bf2 with gun shoting like lasors and you get killed only in 2 bullets.

owh you can kill a camping sniper at the end of the map using smg lol.

Snipers are unbelievably annoying in MP, since it's like COD, on a bigger map. MP really feels like BFBC2. But animation is stiffer. Also, no bullet penetration, I think.

In SP, kinda ok. I thought the beginning of the game felt like Freedom Fighter and HalfLife2, except Freedom Fighter does it better, I think. Oh ya. AI for your squadmates can be unbelievably stupid. Won't even yell if there's a nade, no suppressive fire, won't cover your butt if an enemy's shooting up your back. And relies on the player to do most of the killing. Enemy AI is kinda disappointing also. It felt a lot like shooting zombies instead of going up against the military. No squad tactics.

sounds like no buy.

Sounds like a game to forget.. too bad it doesn't has a demo...

Maybe there's a reason for not releasing a demo

But yeah, I feel underwhelmed when playing this game. Don't get why some reviews say that the SP is intense and gripping though. There are some minor neat moments, but it's nothing close to what you get from MW2 or even Black Ops. Plus one of the major character just keeps spewing foul language that it just makes him annoying and juvenile.

Tip of the day for SP: Whenever your teammates tells you to do X and they'll cover you, they're lying.

this is just another quick cash game,

guns feels no kick, graphics out, soundtrack sux,

only positive thing is the in-game profanity

lousy

just fount out my pc couldnt run this game well, i shall get crysis 2 then..

then the option is made easy! hehehe....crysis 2 here i come!

just purchase this game thru Steam, so far only play MP. MP experience quite good, but you can die really fast. JUst 3-4 bullet hits and bam! you die!

Better get TS to update 1st post in order to list down players.

The netcode seems to be better than most games I played though. Server ping could be 250, but once I joined the game it goes around 60. Don't feel much lag.

SP finished in Hard Mode liao in my 2nd sitting. Still feel it's very standard fare. Only memorable chapters are the 3rd and the end of the 7th. But the story can't match the promising premise.

I'm really surprised the animation is so amateurish, especially when tossing the nade and knife kills. The sounds for the guns are above average, but don't have the feel of recoil/kick. So sometimes feel like it's a water gun. Could benefit with more gun selection. And no other option for pistols??? Bleh. No bullet penetration means aiming have to be precise. Very precise against camping snipers.

I'm hearing really good things about the multiplayer, but most definitely the userbase will drop after 2 months. I heard it's more fast-paced and action-packed than Bad Company 2.


Too bad the Tank vehicle can go over a fence or broken cars lol.

if theres alot of players here, then ill update the player list

any malaysian mp server?? or LYN specific server??

to my surprise, MP have no lag at all! when join server with 350 ping, then in the game it becomes like 60-90ms!!

haven't touch SP at all lol

Level 30 in MP liao

SP just 5 mission....4 hour can finish <.<

You know, I can almost compare Homefront to Duty Calls...

I AM AN ENEMY *BORING BORING* BLOODY SCREEN! SO REAL!

And the slow-mo feels exactly the same as Duty Calls too.

Just curious, how big is the game btw? In the form of data.

9.8gb

sp is short/buggy finish it hardest mode within 3.7hour

Looks like not worth it

Unless the MP holds up for long term

I havent tried the MP but i might. Heard its good.

LMGs and SMGs are pretty useless in MP, imho.

There are some invisible hitbox issues when it comes to environment. So, sometimes it seems like you have a clear shot at that enemy, but actually he's behind cover. And since there's no bullet penetration here, snipers can literally sniper in between the wooden fence from the other end of the map and there's no way you can shoot back beyond the draw distance. Which reminds me. I need to set the draw distance higher

i like the mp alot. its like moh on drugs lol

beware guys!! just played MP and apparently some hackers totally ruin the game. You name it...aimbot! speed hack!! haih, <back to playing Black Ops>

I think Homefront's MP is kinda pretty decent. I'm very happy with it, especially with the ping management.

Basically I got the game for the story but I stayed for the MP.

Meh. What does it mean by "Downloadable gun"? If you play shooters with me, you'll know I love shotties.

- deleted -

no more free download soundtrack available.

This post has been edited by Angel of Deth: Mar 25 2011, 08:53 PM

no one plays this game? is there SEA server? any lag?

So far so good for me. love the mp.

Are there any local LYN servers or SEA servers up yet?

this game is totally crap, short SP with retarded key binding and you must follow someone everywhere you go. Guns are stupid and the sound effect sounds like poop falling down into the water lol

agreed...

i stop playing the SP after 5 minutes into it..
and uninstall straight away

kuman

that bad?

Not as far as I can tell.

If a me and a couple of friends brought up a server, probably 16 or 32 players.

How many players willing to be active and possibly donate?

Haha.

I got a question bout the SP.
Why the enemies don't drop weapons when I kill them? I'm running out of ammo because there's no ammo packs or weapon drops from enemies for some magical reason.

wow homefront inherit the inventory system from fuels of war alright.

Um that could be the MP side of the game. But I'm playing SP and I can't find ammo!

theres no point in having that sig if your gonna make your steam profile private

enermy do drop weapon, unless ur playing the version

The graphics are totally crap and the gameplay is incredibly linear.

He's probably playing version.

Just go read the amount of complaints about that issue in warez websites.

yay good news!!! new patch that will deter hackers or cheaters away!!

http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/30/homefron...s-for-cheaters/

it already out

The latest patch is now available on Steam and will be downloaded the next time you start Homefront.

FEATURES
Ban list rework
· We now store two separate ban lists on servers; a local ban list, and a global ban list. The local ban list is for bans that originate on the server (via kickbans, etc). The global ban list is for bans that are initiated by a trusted ban list authority. The ban lists store the date of ban, the name of the admin who initiated the ban, the reason for the ban, and a URL field for any relevant ban evidence (demos etc).

New Feature – DEMO URL
· A DemoURL can now be specified in the server playlist, this is used to indicate the location of stored demo files to user’s in-game (see the multiplayer options screen). A good practice for server admins would be to share the demo folder via FTP, this would allow users to grab demos of games they starred in, and also (very importantly!) allow users and anti-cheat authorities to download evidence for cheat reporting. Incidentally, it is now possible to dump all users unique steamID's from both in-game, and in-demos to the console or text file (this will make reporting abusive players and enforcing bans incredibly easy).

GAME BALANCE
· RPG's now deal additional damage to HMMWV's.
· Lowered m200 and m110 sniper rifle damages. The only 1 shot possible is now headshots.
· Flak jacket now has a lower BP cost, and a slight effectiveness buff.
· Diablo damage adjusted.
· Weapon is taken out of ADS and accuracy decreases when jumping.

OPTIMIZATIONS & FIXES
· The Rhino drones weapon attachment was not being properly moved with the Rhino drone on dedicated servers, causing the rockets to fire incorrectly. This is now fixed.
· We have added some animation optimizations for large player games.
· Several UI related improvements were added for large player games.
· Fixed scaling text zooming on Battle Commander when opening up the battle chat or squad UI.
· Switched the buttons around on the load out rename confirmation dialog to better abide by conventions.
· Improved SLI/CrossFireX support.
· A few reported issues with WinXP 64 bit edition have been addressed.
· Improved menu navigation with analogue controls.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
· User feedback for kicks and bans has been improved.
· The intermission lobby now displays clan tags.
· Text chat is now possible in the kill cam, spawn selection, and intermission lobby screens.

NEW SETTINGS & CONTROL OPTIONS
· EnableD3D10/11 is now accessible via the system settings menu.
· Mouse acceleration is now accessible via the controls menu.
· Mouse smoothing is now accessible via the controls menu.

Interesting change to the Sniper rifles.
