[QUOTE=Raidyr;28651583]I can see the campaign being a subpar experience compared to the multiplayer, but only because most other games are like that now. I will give you Halo, it seems to have a good balance, but CoD? Really? Is the Homefront campaign [b]THAT[/b] different from CoD? You seem to be implying the campaign doesn't show you the controls, weapons, and vehicles. From what I have seen, you spend a lot of time shooting bad guys and navigating the environments. And add depth to a game? Where is the depth in a CoD campaign? I haven't played Homefront yet so I can't say you are wrong or anything but, damn, I would really like to see you extrapolate on how the CoD campaign or the Bad Company 2 campaign, or any recent shooter campaign, is significantly better than Homefronts.[/QUOTE]
His example was CoD 4 which had a pretty good campaign, at least in my mind.
So this does have LAN play or do you have to login to their fracking servers first to even play LAN? (On the PC version)

[QUOTE=Raidyr;28653528]Oh it has LAN. I wonder why everyone is saying it doesn't.
No bots from what I could see, though.[/QUOTE]
DAMN!
Hopefully Theater mode, though. Every good game needs a theater mode.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;28654658]
Also having an opinion that doesn't fit into your view of the game != defending.[/QUOTE]
No, having an opinion is fine.
What you're doing is repeatedly defending the game against people who have actually played it, while you yourself haven't touched it. How can you have an opinion on something if you've never actually experienced it?
It seems like you've done a lot of research, but that simply isn't the same as slogging through it first hand.

It has a game recorder but only works on servers that enable it.

Whats SPUF?[/QUOTE]
I haven't defended it at all. I have made suggestions to you about coping with the damage model and that the sniper rifle looks overpowered. If you are referring to the campaign, I am not defending it or attacking your opinion, I am just trying to gain insight into how much worse it is than every other shooter campaign and I am just not seeing it. Overall it feels like the game is becoming a scapegoat for things that have been wrong in the genre for years. I don't need to play the game to realize this. When Eurogamer gives it a 6/10 citing a short campaign where all you do is follow people through linear set pieces, with the only real exploration being valueless collectibles, I immediately think of CoD (all of them). I immediately think of Bad Company 2. Hell, I even think of Bullestorm.
Basically I am not saying the campaign is good. I am saying all the reasons that it is being cited for being "bad" are in 90% of other shooters with campaigns.

Whats SPUF?[/QUOTE]
SPUF is the Steam Powered User Forums AKA a collection of dimwitted fucktards.
The more I play this game, the less I'm impressed. All I do in multiplayer is spot people with drones, so that could be why.
This game just looks like a battlefield clone with shite graphics.
I was playing it, it is actually a very good game. The online play is great, kind of like a combination of Bad Company's online play, cods leveling system, and red orchestras realism. I would enjoy it more if my internet didn't suck so much.
I just now found out that LMG is the gun for me in this game.
Started a match with it, went 8 kills before dying for the first time.
It's also the first gun that i actually use the stock scope more.
YAY, finally.
Camp with an LMG in the enemies main sniper hill.
KILLS UNLIMITED
Why are some teammates' names blue while others are green?
Game just unlocked in UK if you bought it retail.
[QUOTE=smug.gif;28660116]Why are some teammates' names blue while others are green?[/QUOTE]
I think blue means squad and green are just other teammates
Here is why I think this game is complete ass:
- Almost no recoil on assault rifles
- One shot sniper rifle kills with 100% accuracy from any distance (no gravity in this world)
- HORRIBLE hit registration
- If your target is in between 2 objects and you try to shoot them through an opening from a distance, you are technically shooting a wall.
- It is almost impossible to jump over anything.
- Going prone removes your aim from down the sights
- Game runs like ass. It's either 30FPS or 60FPS weather or not vsync is enabled, and this change in speed seems to happen randomly.
- Is it just me, or is there no difference in graphics options?
- Another game ruined by snipers
I could list more but I would need my own thread. Oh and I finished SP in 3:30 on normal.
I'm starting to love BC, turning the game into a First-Person Tower Defense game when you're on a roll is fun.
Oh and the M200 is awesome, it's scope makes up for the total Under-powered-ness
Anyone think it was funny "in a bad way" that the same guy who went crazy at the sight of the mass graves in the ball parks acts appaled at the way the survivalist are treating the NK prisoners?
I've had a LOT of trouble getting this game to run (PC barely failed minimal specs,CPU not powerful enough,should have looked 1st) but I've made an optimized settings file. Some effects are still there, I don't know how to disable them. The game will look like shit,but it'll play almost constantly at 20-25FPS. [URL]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/266586/GCEngine.ini[/URL] Place in My Documents/My Games/HOMEFRONT/GCGame/Config. Hope it helps some of the freeze issues I've been hearing about.
I got this game running on my shitty computer. WELL below minimum specs. I get about 3 FPS though on absolutely lowest settings. Managed to get 3 kills, 2 randomly running over people in my slideshow Humvee and I beat someone in a gunfight.

Wow, spoilers much.
does this require an online pass?

Hah, was a 4-star threat, but was obviously dead because I had four enemies slowly approaching the car I was behind.
Call in while phosphorous strike on self.

I managed to get the 5-star threat achievement today! Was co-pilot of an Apache. Blowing shit up left and right!
[QUOTE={TT}Jesus;28660740]I think blue means squad and green are just other teammates[/QUOTE]
Ok, but is there anything special about being in a squad (e.g. do you get bonuses for staying near them)?
Do you really need to pre-order the game to get the shotgun? Is there absolutly no other way to get it? 30 day trial? I don't quite understand that, would be very nice if someone can explain that to me.
[editline]18th March 2011[/editline]
Is the game worth it :smile:? I am thinking of getting it on the xbox360
ugh people still comparing it to duty calls because of that "betrayal" mission
idiots

I think it means that for 30 days after release only those who preordered from Gamestop get the shotgun. After that everyone does.
