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.

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.
Not really sure of the difference. I don't play the COD games either. For a shooter... especially in first person... I want it to be "all about me"
I don't want to wait for "dumb AI NPCs" to catch up to me, nor do I want "dumb AI NPCs" wanting me to catch up to them by constantly yelling stupid shit like" "over here!" while I'm trying to explore between waves of combat. More often than not, I just end up wanting to shoot my "poor NPC teammates"
Squad or team play for multi-player... fine... co-op or team vs. team.
But for single player... forget it. (for me, at least)
