You shoot and murder countless Korean soldiers. An enemy other than your standard Chinese/Russian/German/Rico wannabes

As I said, Homefront is innovative

Why does it have to have something no other game has done before?

Its an FPS, a genre that has been super stale so dont expect any reinventing of the wheel. Its been getting good reviews thus far so thats good. I dont think it will do that well so I would wait to see sales to determine if the multiplayer will last or be a flash in the pan of thats what you are into.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Richard has had a number of these threads the past few weeks where he's implying that every shooter has to be completely different from everything that's come before it to deserve to be made. I completely disagree and will add Homefront brings dedicated server support to all platforms to the table.

How about bring enough new to the table to justify me spending $60 to buy it?  I feel tapped out as far as FPS goes, that I would even be hard-pressed to get the next Call of Duty title.  I feel I have enough.  Bioshock Infinite does pique my interest though, more for the game world.

Then don't buy it. If you have to ask this question, I highly doubt anything is this thread would convince you from your preconception. You don't have to buy every game or shooter that comes out.

I sold my copy of Black Ops and got Homefront on preorder. I think the game looks fun and its something different to play. There are differences between homefront and COD.

1. Much larger maps - Think Bad Company size

2. Vehicles

3. Battlepoints - different than killstreaks in that you can use your battle points how you wish to suit your playstyle. Do you save up for vehicles or do you use your BP on drones? Do you help your team out by using UAVs and spotting people or want to use a hellfire missle airstrike?

4. Better focus on teamplay. You actually get battlepoints (more BP than you do with a kill) when completing objectives instead of getting rewarded by sitting around and camping like in COD to get your killstreaks. You also get BP from spotting people with air drones. COD is a lone wolf game.

Sure it has the XP, the ranking up, the attachments, the camos that all modern FPSs will have these days. But it has a lot of unique features and I think it looks fun. I'll let you know my views come Tuesday.

Edit: Forgot to mention dedicated servers. Not P2P bullshit.
