Homefront MP Opinion

Hey all.

This is my personal second opinion of Homefront's multiplayer. This opinion is completely detached from the singleplayer.
My initial impression of Homefront multiplayer was that it was underrated. Now I think I might be playing it for a very long while. It's true that there are very few unique elements in the game, and that the graphics specifically aren't anything new-gen(On a side-note I think that the developers did an excellent job of using the unreal engine 3), but overall I'd rate it as a game that most of us gamers would like to add to their collection.

To bring it down to a nutshell; the gameplay is a very much a satisfying and near-perfect blend of Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2. The new battle points system makes the game a lot more fun and rewarding, as players can then only buy special equipment that they can afford. Vehicular combat is included, but altered slightly more than in other such games, for balance. On the infantry combat side, a host of unlockables such as weapon camo patterns and attachments make for a very satisfying experience, apart from giving you the in-game edge.

So overall, I would reccommend this game to anyone, from the enthusiastic online player to someone starting out new. In both cases, the online experience can only improve.
 
I'm also enjoying the MP. It's just such a shame that the SP didn't live up to expectations. It's almost as if they spent more time working out bugs in the MP. I had quite a few SP bugs while playing but no MP bugs that I could see.

I miss being able to shoot through walls but that's not a gamebreaker. Managed to get to lvl 24 in one sitting and finished with a last round TDM score of 41 kills 10 deaths. All I need to do now is become a 5 star theat and I'll be happy. :)
 
The MP was more fun than I thought it would be. It's quite unique, but it still feels like a mix of BF and COD sometimes. That's not a bad thing though. The game's hit detection is good, and there aren't a lot of bugs so I'd say they did a good job with this game. Might be playing it for a while still.

Only issue I'm having is that it sometimes runs a bit slow for some reason, especially once the bigger maps start getting a bit bigger in Ground Control.

Yeah the hit-detection in this one is really good. A lot of people seem to be complaining about the snipers but I haven't had too many problems with them. Loving the ACR at the moment.

I'm also getting some performance issues every now and then, but it doesn't last long. Really enjoying the points system. Save up your points long enough and get a chopper or drop a couple of hellfires. Good fun. :D
 
Thanks for the info there lads, I've been kinda weighing out the possibilities of purchasing the game or not, due to the complaints I heard non stop about it...

I'll probably purchase this as a Bday present to myself :p
 
Loving this game and so far the biggest issue I have is that there appears to be a mouse lag when using the SCAR-L (3 shot burst). So far that's my biggest gripe. Some of my mates have complained about poor performance on some very l33t rigs, not sure what the issues are but hopefully it's just a driver problem or something.

I've had simular problems. Get some FPS lag every now and then it doesn't last long but it can be irritating. Hopefully the first patch will sort it out.
