Homefront Review
Well, where to begin? As a person who plays with their friends on Xbox 360, I love squad or team based games. When a new one like Homefront is due out, I can't wait to get my hands on it and play with my friends. If you feel the same and don't own this one yet, wait to get it or you will be playing alone, a lot...
Server Issues:
It would appear that the game servers simply can not handle the load being put on them by the people that want to play this game. Now wether that means the server can't handle all the connection requests or just aren't fast or big enough I don't know. What I do know is this, THQ is saying they are experience more people trying to get on the servers then they expected, please be patient while they bring more servers online. OK, I get it I really do. Some times you just get more people buying and playing the game online then you expected and the servers can't handle the load. But wait, what's that? They announced months ago that this was the #1 largest pre-sale in the companies history. I would think that might have clued them into the fact that , your servers need to be upgraded before the release date. But noooooooooo,,, I get the game, call up a friend that I know got it too. "Hey dude, lets get on and play this thing", I say to him. After an hour or so of trying to get in a match, he finally ops out and tells me he will go watch a movie instead. A frickin hour and still could not connect to a match. Get in one and there is a chance you may get kicked out right in the middle of it. Although this has only happened to me a couple times, it has happened. for the most part, once you get in a match there is no lag and the game runs pleasantly smooth.
Graphics:
Maybe it is just me, but... In this day and age when new games come out I guess I over expect. I am always thinking the new games will have graphics to knock your socks off. If this is you, you will be disappointed once again. The graphics are not hideous but sup standard compared to other games recently released. Everything looks pretty nice when you spawn in and have a view of the entire map but move around and get close to something, raged edges and sub standard art work are easy to spot.
I can't comment on the story mode much because I have not played through to the end. I will add to this once I do. So far I have heard a couple people say they they won't be playing Black Ops anymore since this game has come out and I have heard the same for people that have complaints about this game. My advice at this point, If you don't already own it, rent it before shelling out $60 and see if you think it is worth your time. I spent the money so I will play it but I could have spent it elsewhere and been happier...
