    Homefront

    Game » consists of 12 releases. Released Mar 15, 2011

    By the year 2027, the North Koreans have managed to unify Korea, annex Japan, and also invade the western half of the United States. As an American rebel fighter, it is the player's duty to help push the NPA out of the United States and end the citizens' suffering.

    I wrote some stuff down while playing Homefront:

    And here it is...

    I got Homefront through gamefly. I'll play it over the weekend.

    Okay... making you hate the enemy... I get it. 

    The guns feel pretty good.

    Haha, firesale at the tiger direct or whatever.

    Really like the feel of the guns, despite the sound design not being totally awesome.

    Pretty good diversity with the missions. Pacing feels good, too. The actual story is alright... but it's still a military first person shooter game.

    Go through the White Castle! (White Castle is disgusting, btw)

    The stealth mission was pretty cool. Enjoyed the sniping portion at the end, too.

    Why would a helicopter fly through a tunnel?

    Oh sweet, this game uses SpeedTree. 

    Pretty weak ending, in my opinion. Oh well, I guess they can always do Homefront 2...

    If PSN was up I would try out the multiplayer, but oh wells to that!

    I like how the game is short enough that you only had to write down 11 notes, haha.

    I was super excited for Homefront to come out but I spent my entire playthrough just thinking about how much better everything would have been had they put more time/polish into it. So disapointing for a game that I think could have been very awesome. IIRC it sold pretty well, so they'll probably make another. Hopefully they give it more attention. It's a similar situation to Medal of Honor. If you're attempting to top Call of Duty, releasing a half-assed unpolished game is probably not the best approach. 


    The multiplayer is pretty fun even with the flaws. It needs to be a bit deeper, but its certainly worth checking out.

    I could write some stuff down too but I'm afraid it would just turn into a hate email sent to the developers.
