If they work for the publusher, they are part of the publisher. If DICE makes a buggy game, it the fault of all the other deveolpers under EA just as much as it is EA itself. So don't come with that crap of the difference between the pub and dev, I'm not listening.

On the flip side:

1: THQ releace polished games.

2: THQ fund polished games.

3: THQ makes polished games.

KAOS's good development is the prase of KAOS, all the other developers under THQ and THQ itself.

Plus the publisher tests the games, (my buddy use to work for sega as a tester), they also define what sort of quality the game must be for them to release it.
 
I for one am damn eager to check this out. The things I have heard from beta testers and the trailers seen on Youtube, just shout "Take me, take me" So, I have it sitting in my Steam list, now waiting to get it from the WAGE Steam server before Friday. It looks truly epic, but then again it's a trailer.

I have heard something which is a little concerning, it seems that many people have performance related issues when playing it. People with 5870's etc have said that they get around 40FPS on maxed settings. So I doubt my little PC is going to be able to handle this...

Here is the link if anyone wants to check it.

Combat, though, doesn’t match the intensity of the story. The action is a mix of sniping, assault, and defense, but it boils down to ho-hum whack-a-mole gameplay that never made me feel like an outgunned, underdog guerrilla. Ammo is plentiful and AI compatriots are invincible. The remote-controlled Goliath tank is fun to use, but only in that it’s overpowered and quick to deliver explosions.

Oh noes :(
 
Xero, apparently if you pre-ordered off Steam and installed already, all you need do is make copy of homefront.exe and rename it to whatever.exe and voila! You can play!

Other than the duration of the SP campaign, games seems to be liked, especially the MP. Not really hearing any major negatives re MP other than the normal COD fanbois spouting crap about how it tries to be COD but fails.

I found myself really enjoying Homefront’s multiplayer for its polished mechanics and chaos on the battlefield.

From the same article you quoted.

That reviewers final verdict:
Homefront never quite captures the feel of guerilla warfare, but its multiplayer mode is a warzone worth fighting in.

He gave it a 79.

Xero, as for the FPS issue, that is very odd, as the game is based on the very old unreal 3 engine I think it is. So 30FPS makes no sense. Buddy has a Nvidia 560 and he is getting 160 odd FPS and his laatie with a nvidia 9500gt is getting 60 odd.
 
Though the multiplayer maps vary in size, I found that the smaller maps provided Homefront’s fiercest firefights, especially once drones come into play. My favorite map is set in a suburban cul-de-sac, where I found refuge from the rain of rocket drone fire and assault choppers by sprinting into garages and ducking behind cars. Those nooks are also great places to deploy my own drones while remaining hidden.
I found myself really enjoying Homefront’s multiplayer for its polished mechanics and chaos on the battlefield. It’s too bad that same ferocity don’t manifest in the single-player campaign.

It does sound fun though. I think I'll get it for the MP. :D
 
Was hopeing the mygshop would have got it. But the thing about being mark as a good player makes it sound so fun since they sending the noobs to the elite to get slaughtered. mwahahah

Like lambs to the slaughter mwuahahahhaah :p

/rubs hands together
 
Haha, you know, even if I do change the .exe as you said Densweep, I still couldn't play it:p I am only 14% done in terms of the download. Still waiting for the WebAfrica okes to get it pushed our side. Unfortunately I don't see that happening before the release in fourteen hours. So, I will prolly just download it using my normal cap.

The FPS story is a bit dodgy, why would such high end cards like the 5870 not be able to handle this thing? But if you say someone with a 9500GT can play it, then I'm sure my little 5770 can. Maybe they optimized their code or something.

The score isn't bad, but not what I exactly figured. But I guess time will tell...

Download it off international servers? way quicker I find. Unless you are doing the freezone thing?

As for the FPS thing, I dunno. I reckon it's a matter of playing with your settings. It's a old engine. Today's cards really shouldn't struggle.
