Description

The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources.
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.
Join the Resistance, stand united and fight for freedom against an overwhelming military force in Homefront’s gripping single player campaign penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn). Stand alongside a cast of memorable characters as an emotional plot unfolds in this terrifyingly plausible near-future world. Experience visceral, cinematic first-person shooter action as you fight your way across Occupied USA using guerrilla tactics, and commandeer military vehicles and advanced drone technology to defeat the enemy.
Multiplayer brings epic warfare to the online arena as infantry, tanks, attack helicopters and combat drones battle across huge, open battlefields. A rich feature set offering layers of tactical depth combined with a game-changing innovation in the multiplayer space will set a new benchmark in online warfare.
  • Discover a terrifyingly plausible near-future world – the familiar has become alien in this nightmare vision of Occupied USA

First playthrough review time. Homefront has an interesting story and gives that classic military shooter atmosphere from older FPS games. The campaign is short, but the pacing stays good and the later missions become

This is basically a nostalgia piece of the early 2010's. Buy it if you want to experience peak theoretic war. I do remember being younger and enjoying the campaign... I wonder if the multiplayer works.

This was an astrocious experience even for a 2010 game. Story: The premise of the setting is very promising and actually really interesting. Though completely unrealistic and even hilarious that North Korea could unite

Homefront is probably not the worst FPS I have or will ever play but it is definitely somewhere near the bottom of the pack. Aiming down the sights being a state that you enable and disable via a button press rather

Homefront is actually a critique of the United States. It shows, by reversing the roles, exactly what the U.S. has done to other countries. It depicts how the "rebels" in countries occupied by the U.S. (through Israel's
