Gold - Homefront [Mar 04, 2011, 11:12 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
THQ announces that Homefront is gold, and Kaos Studios' now-complete first-person shooter is on track to meet its promised release dates of March 15 in North America and Europe, March 17 in Australia, and March 18 in the U.K. Word is: "In advance of release, THQ is preparing hundreds of dedicated servers in multiple locations across the globe to support Homefront's epic multiplayer mode." Here's a bit on the game:
2027. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic.
Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners... or collaborators... or revolutionaries.

New video up today shows a lot of MP gameplay (I think?)
You're being duped by a jumble of quick edit "eye-candy" shots. I can assure you that is not how the multiplayer plays or looks, when the game comes out you're going to be wondering where these intense vehicle battles are that they've been showing in all these trailers.

This game was supposed to mimic the movie "Red Dawn" where the Russia was the invaders. So, it being North Koreans doesn't bother me... it's all fictional anyway.
However, this game is squad based. I don't play squad based FPSs... so I have no interest.
It's team based, but not really squad based - there are no support rolls - no medic, no engineer, no ammo support etc. It's no more squad based than any of the Call of Duty games.
It's roving mob against roving mob, you can lone wolf in this game all you want. Yes there is a squad system but it's completely optional and you'll actually need to seek it out in the UI to make any sense out of it.
