If anyone can confirm this, i'd really like to know. If they don't persist that's a major put off for me because it's then no better than the killstreak system. I really hope that's not the case because no force on this earth could convince me to play another game like that; the weaker players are just cannon fodder for the better players who then drop nukes and napalm onto their opponents. WARNING RCXD IN YOUR AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ARG!!!!!!
They would have to persist through death because vehicle purchases with BPs happen while respawning

As a fervent supporter of stories that at least make a bit of sense even in a cinematic campaign, this praising of a horribly non-sensical story makes me want to vomit. What a disgrace to the FPS genre.
Disgrace to the FPS Genre? Thats going way too far.

Two points:

1) I never play jingoist campaigns.
2) I am bored with the generic FPS.

In my preference, Homefront is a bad game.

It's funny, MW comes out with a horrible story and gameplay and then this clone comes out and does the same thing.

Yet MW gets praise, and this game gets bagged on? Lolwut
Well, on these forums, BOTH get bagged on equally.

I see that it's getting a lot of (possibly deserved) ire for being 'generic'. Like many others have said already, none of us (probably) have played it yet, so we don't know how generic it really is. I'm saying that to be fair, because I personally think it'll be a pretty standard FPS, but we don't know yet.

Also, a good friend's husband works for Kaos, so I'm inclined to be charitable towards the game.

What's that? An overmarketed generic FPS gets a 9/10?

Stop the presses, I wanna get off.

I really love formulaic comments calling a game generic. Pot, kettle.

I'm going to wait to actually play the game before making edgy, jaded comments about it.

Homefront has:

Regenerating health COD didn't invent Regen Health

Soldiers and Vehicles as enemies, mostly soldiers. This is universal for a lot of games

CoD controls. Why fix what isn't broken?

Portrayal of bad guys committing atrocities. In COD that doesn't happen often, quite rerely.

Guns that sound like rapid firing staplers.Uh... What?

Oh, and I forgot to mention you fight alongside invincible NPC allies in both as well.This is because it would be stupid if Key NPCs died...
Response in your quote. Try again.

But thats in the Escapist's nature, judge before actually playing. I mean why would you play a game then judge it...

I'm waiting to see some more, and get an overall idea for the game. Since my B-day is monday, I might pick it up that week. I just wanna know if the multi-is any good since, FPS single players tend to be fun the first time through.

The funniest thing about is that apparently none of the haters takes the effort of actually arguing with the reasons that many professional reviewers gave this game such high scores. All I see is "these scores are high, this is bullshit" instead of actually looking at the reviews and dissecting them. Now if they did that and gave some good arguments against it, that'd be okay, but right now we just see flaming.

Just enjoy it, bathe in the hatred of other people.
TO be honest, I know little to nothing about this game.

Agreed. Half of them see the scores and don't even look at the review itself. If you look at the XboxAddcit review, while myself only read tid bits. Its actually really long compared to most reviews. 19 long paragraphs from what I counted.

Hell the spanish review is 4 pages long. I doubt if the game wasn't really good. They wouldn't have put so much effort into the reviews.

Thanks for the link! Now this game looks even worse! This really reminded me of the current "Critical Miss". I mean, what the hell?

Korean soldier 1: Hey, you know, I don't think the player quite got the idea that we're EVIL from seeing our guys randomly beat up civilians and shooting people attempting to flee yet. How 'bout we shoot those child's parents to make sure he knows we're the antagonists?
Korean soldier 2: Great idea! There's no reason for it, but who cares, we are EVIL after all! I mean, sure, we could also deport them like all the others, but if we shoot them that'll be really good for the atmosphere since they have a child and whatnot!
Korean soldier 1: Yeah, that was the best idea I've ever had! Too bad we can't execute the child 'cause children aren't allowed to die in video games...that would've been even EVILer!


Seriously, why not just give them horns and glowing eyes?

This game suffers from a few things. Its trying to be 3 things at once. Well really only 2 but it seems like 3

It's pulling a Red Dawn from the other side of the United states and making the player character a Gordon Freeman while trying to be a military shooter in the likeness of Call of Duty 4 and beyond while also being a hitscan game like say counterstrike or day of defeat.

It's trying to be all these and can't decide on which one to be and it's foundation is collapsing on each other because it has nothing to say for itself in terms of the single player.

The Multiplayer has to be really really damn good to save this game from being a devastating failure in my opinion.

It is a COD clone. Why does every game want to be like COD(well obvious answer but still)?
