    Базовый клон Call of Duty, но со своими небольшими фишками и отлично проработанной атмосферой. В 2023-м вполне актуальный сеттинг. Учитывая, что в игре будем противостоять бандитам с империалистическими замашками.

    Esse jogo não me prendeu de forma alguma, porém tem muitos desafios que proporciona ao jogador conforme sua época de lançamento.
    Hoje em dia não consigo mais jogar nem para lembrar é um jogo que passa rápido demais história boa mas curta e cansa demais ao jogar ele.

Лор подается, в основном, в виде записок, раскиданных по уровням, что немного сбивает темп игры, но читать их интересно сам же геймплей не отличается от колды и шутеров тех лет, хотя и пытается быть разнообразным и оригинальным, например, в одной миссиии нам дадут поуправлять вертолетом, а в другой будет простенький стелс. Оружия немало, хотя оно не то чтобы сильно отличается между собой по мощности, а вот стреляет каждое по-своему. Самая крутая схватка происходит в конце на мосту, где максимум концентрации экшна на метр, очень впечатляет. Проходится игры быстро, наскучить не надоедает, а за событиями интересно наблюдать.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    [The Level Designs look great, it feets the game perfectly as an occupied future America.
    The combat feels fantastic for an FPS, I would be surprised if it didn't. Developing studio is kinda familiar with the FPS scene.

    The dialogue during the game was kinda lackluster. For me, it kinda feels like fillers between cutscenes, not that memorable, and not that interesting most of the time.
    The cutscenes will make up for the dialogues in between the cutscenes, and the cutscenes is great, but predictable some of the time.
    For me, the voice acting feels fantastic.

    The graphics look great for a 2011 game, but it will feel outdated in 2021, but that is to be expected.
    The Animation looks fantastic and feels smooth.
    The Motion capture looks fantastic most of the time, but it did feel off at some points during my playthrough.
    The Voice-Sync feels off most of the time, in and out of cutscenes.

    I did encounter a bug during the mission “The Wall” in part 2 of my PlayThrough Series of Homefront.
    Basically, Connor got stuck on a large piece of rubble, and I could not progress while this bug was happening. I will classify this as a breaking bug as i could not play the game normally or even progress at all with this bug.
    I also encountered performance issues, at times the game would freeze for a few microseconds, but long enough to be noticed. I noticed this happening while the NPC character was opening/closing doors or doing other interactions while gameplay.

    The plot is textbook, occupied USA, occupants evil, many games have done more or less exactly the same thing before and after when Homefront did it.
    The End was kinda eh.
    The Character Development was great tho, ill give them that.

    The replayability is not that great, there are some servers up for the multiplayer, but you might have a hard time finding matches as most of the time there are 20-30 ppl playing this game. Even less actually playing the multiplayer part of the game.]

    "6/10 – Average.
    These recommendations come with a boatload of “ifs.
    It's only held back by a few issues (or stiff competition).
    Not always the best choice, but it can get the job done.
    There’s a good game in here somewhere, but you’ll have to know where to look, and perhaps turn a blind eye to some big drawbacks.”

    Not a bad gameplay, the game for 2011 was not very relevant, but after 2014 and even more so now it looks very serious and causes dozens of deja-vu with real during the passage. The game still has multiplayer, and there is online for a comfortable game.

    Homefront is one of those games that tried to cash in on the success of games like call of duty and battlefield only to fall flat on its back but it has some small good ideas that i liked that kept this game from being terrible

    Story: concept is good , similar to red dawn (the remake more so ) the north Koreans invade america witch in 2011 was a very real perceived threat. you play as    Homefront is one of those games that tried to cash in on the success of games like call of duty and battlefield only to fall flat on its back but it has some small good ideas that i liked that kept this game from being terrible

    Story: concept is good , similar to red dawn (the remake more so ) the north Koreans invade america witch in 2011 was a very real perceived threat. you play as a former helicopter pilot turned revolutionary recruited for your skills . so far so good , my problem with the story is just how quick it is , the story takes just over 4 hours roughly 5 and there is little to no character development beyond tropes. All the dialog sounds awkward and cheesy but at least its decently acted every plot twist feels forced and feel like a lazy attempt to be emotional . at the very least the story is an excuse for action but i think that this story would be better lent to an open world game ( i say this having never played homefront the revolution yet )
    Story: 5/10

    World building: Alot of this games world building is done in the opening cut scene and that's boring even if it dose have some creative concepts and i think the politics surrounding this event are plausible , mexico closing its border to Americans in the games lore made me laugh a little bit because of how ironic that is now. i think this game's world should have been fleshed out more in game rather than its opening cut scene
    worldbuilding: 7/10

    Graphics; some animations are awkward and stiff. the style is ok its fits the plucky resistance in a dark almost sci fi world , textures are meh at best , the graphics just feel sort of average like the devs wanted to emulated the style of call of duty but couldn't quite match it but the graphics do their job like a middle class working man , dose whats expected of them no more no less
    Graphics 5/10

    Gameplay: the game feels like a watered down call of duty , but it dose some little things to set it self apart like guns have multiple reload animations , a person wont reload the gun the exact same way every time and so far homefront is the only game iv seen that has done this , its a small detail i really appreciated about this game. guns don't pack a good enough umph , recoils like non existant and explosions and physics feel sorta flat and life less and that should be the most important thing in an action game.
    gameplay 4/10

    Sound design: the music is good but ultimately forgettable, guns sound like they are shooing plastic bullets , the voice acting is decent but not amazing . the in between radio broad casts was a cool idea that elevated the world building a little bit and helped make loading screens not so tedious
    sound design: 6/10

    5+7+4+5+6= 27

    It's ok to buy on special if you want a quick fps you can complete in a day or 2, thankfully I got this for free as the game is too short and not worth the full price of $29.95AUD for it.

First, it's awefully short; you can beat it in 4 hours. But the story, wow, there's such a cool background and the characters are totally relatable. And that's what annoyed me the most. It has such a good premise that you wonder why isn't it any longer. And the gameplay. It's like a typical military shooter. The problem is that it holds your hand WAY TOO MUCH. For example, you'll have to take out certain enemies, and there's an icon on it saying "SHOOT". Well, what else would I do? Blow a kiss to it? The problems of the singleplayer outweighed it's benefits.

    Multiplayer fares better. The PC servers are still up, and there's at least one full server on afternoons. It's like a combination of Battlefield and COD. You can use points in-game to purchase things like armor and even vehicles. Maps are quite good too. Ground Control, the main mode, has you capturing certain points, like Domination in Battlefield, only that you can move up to a certain area if one team dominates it, like in the Rush mode in Battlefield.

I've played the campaign around ten times because it's a ton of fun for me, especially feeling like the weapons are super powerful.

    The multi-player is fairly good, but it is limited to only two modes with very little information on how to use the various battle points you acquire, and it also lags a lot even with a good connection. But when it works, it's great fun, with some large maps to boot.    … Expand

I tend to take a lot of time with my games and proceed slowly, so I think altogether it took about 7 hours to finish. The graphics are pretty good for the time of release and I think the developers did a really wonderful job crafting the world. From the Golden Gate Bridge to the Survivalist camp to the home base, there is clearly a great attention to detail that makes the world feel alive, despite being mostly non-interactive. The characters are pretty throwaway, with partial exception to the girl in the squad, who occasionally notes some overlooked truisms about war that give her a little depth that is never fully explored. The story is farfetched, but fun for what it is, feeling like the script of a b-action movie, but with blockbuster effects. It's fleshed out through the use of newspapers, which are essentially the collectibles for the game, which are little 1-3 paragraph snippets about the development of the conflict. These are never terribly deep or moving, but they get the job done if you are interested in understanding the convoluted world the game takes place in.

    Unfortunately the mechanics of the game don't match the atmospheric quality. The weapons are generic and few, and tend to lack a feeling of power behind them. The controls are a little convoluted; this probably reflects more on me, but it took me a few minutes to figure out how to pull out my targeting control for the drone vehicle. There is no lean feature, which is forgivable, but the hitboxes are off enough that bullets don't hit targets that are partially behind cover, which is particularly annoying when sniping. The game is almost a completely on-the-rails shooter, with a truly linear plan of attack. As has been noted, options are generally limited to which side of the street to take cover behind, although even that choice is sometimes taken away from you. Artificial and even some invisible barriers are all over the place, so the sooner you learn not to bother being creative, the sooner you will appreciate the simplicity of this shooting gallery. The only part of the game that provides a little autonomy is when you briefly pilot a helicopter, but the fun is limited due to horrible controls and physics of the helicopter, as well as a limit as to how far from your attack group you may venture. Still, setpieces like the helicopter segment really break up the action and provide highly memorable experiences in gaming, like the excellent helicopter segment in Far Cry 3. In fairness, some of the atmospheric storytelling did create powerful moments along the way, but ultimately Homefront excels in creating a beautiful and interesting world that is sort of boring to play in.

They could nevertheless need to put some more work into it. There are not enough different things to play. The courses are either long and complex or small and impossible to navigate in.

    If you buy a game for a good campaign, I recommend definitely Homefront! It's cheap and worth the money!

    This game is playable, and in a vacuum would be fine, its is really just another modern shooter that tries to set itself apart with shock value. If you have played all of the other shooters and still want more it is fine and would still be enjoyable, but any medal of honor, battlefield or Call of duty would be better.

Whilst the campaign was fun I found it was extremely similar to other modern military shooters such as a COD, MOH and BF. The campaign is very limited as you must follow one direction with no choices, it is extremely scripted and the invisible walls can be a pain. Multiplayer on the other hand is a complete change from the single player. The multiplayer is very fun and the Battle points system is great as it allows you to focus on helping team mates and completing objectives in order to gain enough points to spend them on your chosen rewards without the need to promote camping unlike killstreaks. Whilst the guns seemed balanced, the vehicles did sometimes get on my nerves. Overall the game is OK and the multiplayer had much potential however the PC version is close to dead with only around 4 full servers at a time. 6/10… Expand

    Enjoyable and atmospheric; felt like slipping on a comfortable pair of slippers. Story is entertaining and has excellent set-pieces, very memorable and engaging throughout, reminds of both Crysis 2 and Half Life 2, campaign is ridiculously short though, I finished in 3 hours - I've played longer DLC than this. Not a bad buy if you can find it cheap.

    Homefront tries to set it self apart from the other military shooters by its setting and darker tone. And despite its sometimes over nationalistic-moments is works quite alright. It does not work well enough however to truly set it apart from all the other military shooters and what you get is a pretty standard military shooter with a not particularly long campaign.

    I have a hard time recommending the PC version of Homefront. It's a decent game with a unique take on world events, and its fresh and fun new ideas for two-mode, bot-less, online only multiplayer kept me coming back long after I'd waved adieu to the single-player portion, but the performance and playability on this platform is far eclipsed by the stability found on consoles.

    Very short but intense firefight shows not a very cheerful vision of the near future for North America. Game story is excellent but playability loses because of over-scripting. [Issue#203]

    It's dreadfully average and far too quickly finished, providing nothing more than the most basic type of fun on the first run-through and little incentive to revisit. Not because it's broken; just because it's boring.
