For those of you who didn't purchase Homefront, you will get a chance to try it out as a demo Tuesday 06-28-11.  From THQ......

Fly helicopters, drive tanks and call in airstrikes as you experience large-scale warfare, intense infantry and epic multi-vehicular combat in an all new Homefront®Multiplayer Demo! 
 
THQ is proud to announce that a Homefront® Multiplayer Demo is scheduled to be available in Sony Computer Entertainment America regions on Tuesday, June 28th and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe areas on Wednesday, June 29th. All PlayStation 3 users are free to download the Demo from the PlayStation Network and enjoy this unique online experience for a limited time.
 
·         Battle with up to 32-players in Occupied USA on dedicated servers, offering one of the best online experiences. 
·         Experience the escalating intensity of the Ground Control game type while earning Battle Points for your actions; spend them strategically during battle on an increasingly deadly arsenal. 
·         Kill or be killed as the new Battle Commander mode dynamically assigns missions to hunt enemy players, or become a hunted threat yourself.
 
The Homefront® Multiplayer demo, which was released first on Xbox 360, has already been a huge success with record downloads for a post-release demo and includes major fixes that have also been introduced into the full game.
 
Prepare to jump into battle and get a taste of large-scale warfare in an all new way!
 
The demo is also already out for the PC and is 50% off.  Check that out by going HERE.

On a personal note, although Homefront got a rough start, it's an awesome game.  I play that before I play any other game and often find myself playing just that all night.  For more info on the PS3 Demo release, go HERE.

Homefront Submits PS3 Patch to Sony and Awaits Approval

From Homefront's News Page:
Playstation 3 Game Update Progress
 
The Homefront team submitted a Playstation 3 update to Sony earlier today. While we do not have an exact date for this update to be approved, we will be working very closely with Sony to fully test and deliver this update as quickly as possible.
 
This PS3 update should address many of the issues our community has identified with the game over the past few weeks. Once Sony approves it, we will reveal more specific information about what this update contains.
 
The entire team at both KAOS and THQ would like to thank you for playing Homefront and being a member of our community. We appreciate your dedication and patience as we continue to improve and enhance the game with each update.
 
Sincerely,

Homefront's PC Patch Leaves Console Players Guessing


Homefront is testing a patch for the PC game but leaves console players wondering what will be in their patch and why this was THQ's first priority. From the Homefront News page:

Digital Extremes and KAOS are happy to announce our first major update for the PC version of the game. This patch will update the client to version 1.0.3 and is currently undergoing internal testing and is scheduled for release early next week! The complete list of changes can be found below in the story.

FEATURES

NEW FEATURE – DEMO URL
- A DemoURL can now be specified in the server playlist, this is used to indicate the location of stored demo files to user’s in-game (see the multiplayer options screen). A good practice for server admins would be to share the demo folder via FTP, this would allow users to grab demos of games they starred in, and also (very importantly!) allow users and anti-cheat authorities to download evidence for cheat reporting. Incidentally, it is now possible to dump all users unique steamID's from both in-game, and in-demos to the console or text file (this will make reporting abusive players and enforcing bans incredibly easy).

Improved Squad Based Gameplay
- Players will now re-spawn at a point nearest to the closest member of their squad.
- Squad mates will now be colored blue on the mini-map and full-screen maps.

GAME BALANCE
- RPG's now deal additional damage to HMMWV's
- Lowered m200 and m110 sniper rifle damages. The only 1 shot possible is now headshots.
- Flak jacket now has a lower BP cost, and a slight effectiveness buff.
- Diablo damage adjusted
- Weapon is taken out of ADS and accuracy decreases when jumping.


OPTIMIZATIONS & FIXES
- The Rhino drones weapon attachment was not being properly moved with the Rhino drone on dedicated servers, causing the rockets to fire incorrectly. This is now fixed.
- We have added some animation optimizations for large player games.
- Several UI related improvements were added for large player games .
- Fixed scaling text zooming on Battle Commander when opening up the battle chat or squad UI.
- Switched the buttons around on the load out rename confirmation dialog to better abide by conventions.
- Improved SLI/CrossFireX support.
- A few reported issues with WinXP 64 bit edition have been addressed.
- Improved menu navigation with analogue controls.

General Improvements
- User feedback for kicks and bans has been improved.
- The intermission lobby now displays clan tags.
- Text chat is now possible in the kill cam, spawn selection, and intermission lobby screens.

New Settings & Control Options
- EnableD3D10/11 is now accessible via the system settings menu.
- Mouse acceleration is now accessible via the controls menu.
- Mouse smoothing is now accessible via the controls menu.

Homefront Is Back On It's Feet - Servers Added, Patch Added. THQ Stock UP and Prices Up

It's rumoured that THQ was angry at Wal-Mart and Amazon for dropping the price of Homefront so drastically because they felt it reflected poorly on the game. (I would be angry too too.)  Allegedly, Wal-Mart intended to continue the sale until they were contacted by THQ.   In fact, it wasn't even being called a sale.  They just dropped the online price and Amazon matched it.   Maybe it was a publicity stunt, if so, it worked as you can tell by THQ's stock HERE it began to rise almost as soon as the priced dropped.  THQ had already double their servers and had almost finished with a patch that fixed many problems.

The fact is, in addition to pre-orders, Homefront got 350,000  sales in the first day thus overwhelming servers plus the was no beta to test the servers and any other issues.  This generated negative reviews, Wall Street panicked and Wal-Mart dropped the on-line price by 1/3 and Amazon matched them.  There are a lot of people who sold it back to stores and now realize they should have just waited for THQ to iron out the issues.  You can still get it for pretty cheap though Amazon, their price is 57.99 but beneath that it says 15 new from $45.99.  Wal-Mart is $55.96 quite a jump from $41.96.  I'm just glad I got in on the deal.  I ordered it on Thursday and it is to arrive Monday.  arrived today!!!!!

Homefront Servers Overload and THQ's Stock Crumbles - Game Price Drops 1/3


Homefront's Rough Start Is To Your Advantage As Price is Cut by 1/3

If you go to the Homefront Forums you will find a lot of unhappy campers.  The biggest complaint is the servers are overloaded and nobody can get into a game and if they do, they're rubber-banding.....lag city.  There are also complaints that the campaign is only 4 hours long (estimates vary.)   THQ has doubled their servers but still can't keep up with the demand.  This of course will all get fixed so what are they unhappy about?  24 hours into it's release the price was reduced by 1/3...........



If you are going to get it, I would go with Amazon as they offer free shipping.  The servers should be plentiful by the time it arrives.  With the release of Crysis 2 , the recent release of Killzone 3 and the latest Socom, this mess couldn't have happened at a worse time.  I plan on getting in on this Amazon bargain. ~edit~  I ordered mine last night through Amazon and it should get here on 03-22-11 at the latest.  Price after tax with free shipping - $41.96 USD.  That's $5 less than a 1.75 litter bottle of bourbon which is a little less than 48 hours of fun.  I expect to get much more out of this one.  Some trolls claim the graphics are like COD 3.  I beg to differ.  The multiplay vids upped on youtube had me sold..............
