Description

The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources.

A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic.

Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners… or collaborators… or revolutionaries.

Join the Resistance, stand united and fight for freedom against an overwhelming military force in Homefront’s gripping single player campaign penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn). Stand alongside a cast of memorable characters as an emotional plot unfolds in this terrifyingly plausible near-future world. Experience visceral, cinematic first-person shooter action as you fight your way across Occupied USA using guerrilla tactics, and commandeer military vehicles and advanced drone technology to defeat the enemy.

Multiplayer brings epic warfare to the online arena as infantry, tanks, attack helicopters and combat drones battle across huge, open battlefields. A rich feature set offering layers of tactical depth combined with a game-changing innovation in the multiplayer space will set a new benchmark in online warfare.

Features:
  • Discover a terrifyingly plausible near-future world - the familiar has become alien in this nightmare vision of Occupied USA
  • Fight for a cause - join a cast of memorable characters as your resistance cell wages a guerrilla war against overwhelming military odds in the name of Freedom
  • Witness the human cost of war - a gripping story from the pen of John Milius is told through immersive, interactive 1st person cut scenes
  • Experience explosive FPS gameplay - battle through a dynamic mix of infantry and vehicle combat in a gripping single player campaign boasting intense, memorable set pieces
  • Take the battle online - experience large scale multiplayer action like never before in epic infantry and vehicle warfare

Preview by Ben on 19th October, 2010
4 stars "Shaping Up"

Homefront deals in the fictional future where Kim Jong Il passes away and his son unites North and South Korea. They then invade Japan and become a massive superpower.

Long story short, the unified Korea attacks America and succeeds.

Homefront is not a game about defending America from an invasion. America has already been invaded. It is now time to fight back!

From the several videos and articles so far Homefront is shaping up to be a solid shooter with an immersive single player.

Review by gavin on 24th March, 2011
4 stars "Very Addictive Multiplayer!"

Very impressed with this game! The single player campain seemed to be quite short and ends pretty abruptly but was enjoyable and visually very good.
As for the multiplayer this game has been great and the more I play the better it gets. The game is more similar to Battlefield Bad Company 2 than Call of Duty games. If your a fan of vehicles there are a good selection. Large maps with up to 32 players rate high with me but there are only a few different types of game play so far but more than enough to keep you occupied.
If you enjoy first person shooter multiplayer games then I would recommend this game!

5 stars "Hell Yeah"

Seen the trailer and its amazing. Can't wait to see what has become of the United states. Eagerly awaiting time to kick some Korean butt. An awesome array of weapons which adds to the first person experience. Finally a game which you can feel really apart of the battle.

5 stars "Pre-ordering for sure!"

Large scale warfare like on MAG but minus the flaws with that.

The videos that are more recent show this being better than Black Ops and Battlefield but only time will tell.

Review by David on 28th March, 2011
1 stars "Result of hiring a graphics team on the cheap..."

I rent before I buy – like try before u buy. Rented this in the weekend and felt I wasted $8 (cheap a** I know). Graphics were poor and checkpoints frustrating – this is comparing it to recently played CallofDuty MW2. All they have done is added kids crying in the background to pull the heart strings. I would be disappointed if I paid $100 for this.
