Yeah, Homefront does actually seem pretty interesting - compared to most other shooters out there. Dedicated servers for all platforms is definitely good. The thing is, they could still have added more players by increasing map size - I personally liked the idea in Battlefield 2, scaling maps according to the number of players on the server. Still, 32 players is the most common player count on PC and I'm pretty happy with that.

Now the only question remains whether it'll be possible to browse servers manually - I can see why people may want a matchmaking service but I also think it should be possible to search for servers manually. Also, player-administrated servers would be a good thing on consoles as well. You know, player-rented servers with player-set rules and admins.

I might actually consider getting this on PC. The only major drawback is Steam.

I thought MOH was worth it. Certainly has better multiplayer than BLOPS.

Drawback? Steam integration was a great decision.

Is it Steam exclusive?

I thought that MOH tried too hard to copy both battlefield and Blops, the gameplay was jarring and horrid, there was no fluid gameplay at all that they've demonstrated in the trailers. The classes were pants, I don't think there were any physics, copying COD, the maps were like hamster cages, copying cod. The gameplay was slow, copying bad company 2, there were no classes like medic etc that made the slow gameplay fun, again copying cod. The sniper was overpowered without any physics, copying cod. Overall I think they've tried to mix COD and BF2, and failed, miserably.

Yeah right. To me, Steam is DRM, quite possibly one of the worst because it ties a physical copy of the game I purchased to a single account. Also, it's practically online activation at the same time. Maybe it does actually offer something beneficial - but not to me. Aside from in-game chat, I don't care about Steam's features, and in the end, I use Xfire for in-game chat. So no benefit for me, only negative things. Practically they're not giving me any choice, and that's what's bugging me. That is also why I'm pretty reluctant to use Steam for digitally getting games, because I don't want to support it due to its policy with physical copies.

The only reason I didn't pre-order Civ V despite my high expectations and interest was Steam, and in the end, that turned out pretty well. The game was below expectations. Also, while I'm fairly confident Shogun 2 is going to be great and I definitely want to get it, I'm not going to do so until it's MUCH cheaper - all thanks to Steam. Also, with Steam's support for rip-off DRM like in the previous games of the Total War series, there's one more negative thing about it.

They say it supports Steam and usually when they say it, it means it requires Steam.
