What is Homefront some of you may ask. Homefront is a new IP published byTHQand developed byKaos Studios. You start off by watching a short video showing you what happened all the way up to the year 2027. You play as Robert Jacbos, a pilot with "fight expereince". You wake up in a run down shack, with New Korean Federation of Occupied America broadcasting on the raido. You have a few seconds to look around, then Korean police bust down your door and take you to a trasnport bus. The plot is about pushing Korea out of America, with plenty of "Holy Fu..." moments along the way.
That basically sums up the five-ish hour long campaig, though they are adding DLC to increase the length of it. Where the real fun comes is the multiplayer. The control system is exactly Call of Duty, which isn't a bad thing. It plays fast, vechiles feel good, and each gun is balacned. Speaking of guns, there are Six Assault Rifles, two LMGS, twp SMGS, and two Sniper Rifles, along with a downloadable pump-action shotgun if you pre-order. With that being said every gun feels "right" except the last sniper rilfe you unlock, it feel as if the accuracy is off on it, by a lot. Enough about the guns, you want to know about the killing.
There are two game modes, and both have three game types in them. You could play normal Ground Control(GC) with 32 players. Basically this is domination on Call of Duty. The second type is, obviously, Team Deathmatch(TDM). You play with 24 players on this type. The last one is Skirmish, you play with a tiny 16 players, but it swaps between TDM and GC. The only problem with Skirmish is that it does not suport dedicated severs like the other two.
The second mode is Battle Commander(BC) GC, TDM, and Skirmish. BC spots "threats" or players that going on a massive killing spree. The more kills they get, the more perks they get on them. While if you bring down a threat, you get extra BP.
BP, or Battle Points, lets you buy your "Purchase Slot". These range fomr Personal UAV Sweeps that last until you die, to mortar strikes and rocket launcher. You get BP by killing people, getting an assist, or knifing them, along with capturing GC points. Also, if you die, you do not lose any points you had before you died, but the only last for that single game.
All in all, I am surprisngly impressed by Kaos and this game. I didn't think I would be having this much fun on this game, but in my opinion it rocks. Will it draw you away from CoD or Halo? Probably not, but it sure is a not change up.
I give this game a 7.5-10
