Terrific game, but ...

We are talking about Homefront! Probably one of the few shooters, which is quite extreme in terms of ostentation and even Uncut have been published in Germany. Do not get me wrong, I like the well;)
What I personally can not understand and want is that the game is so poorly rated. Surely there are better games, but too bad I would not make Homefront. I enjoyed it a lot of fun and it still does. But why I find it so grandiose? That you can read here.

The Story: 2027. There is war in America! Over the years 2010-2027, the facts changed dramatically. The Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il died and appointed his 3rd son Jong Un King as his successor. After individual attacks on American and other vehicles, the dictator Koreas united a country. The magnitude of this association seemed only irrelevant, but evolved quickly to problems, immigrated when one day Korea in America. The army had no chance and was caught off guard. Now ruled Kim Jong-Un both Korea and America, where the law of humanity was also broken. This is most apparent very early in the game when you want to put in a bus and there falls down the stairs. Man is pulled straight back and carried there. During the trip you can observe the execution of an American citizen and the shooting of two parents in front of their child. Terrible, but wanted the game so earn his image?
After some driving time, suddenly a blast! The bus turns and lands on its roof. He collided with a truck. You will be helped up by a man. He says you shall take you from one of the guards a gun and he and his partner stand in front of you. Shortly after you shoot a Korean and are then enemy throughout Korea. So much for history.

The story is told lovingly to detail, contains a lot of action and is really fun. Solely the length of the campaign from an estimated four hours did not bother me. The setting of the story I really liked, so it's a shame to have such a short noticed anything about it.
Something that is often addressed is the so-called "Lousy graphics". Me personally it is reminiscent of a mix of Call of Duty, and Borderlands. Ever think that maybe they should be so? Just a thought! I really like it but what I need is Involving is that the game was very poorly optimized. The graphics are really no bomb and can in my opinion with competitor like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 does not record, but the performance is really bad. While running on my system Battlefield with a resolution of 1024x768 and all details on medium with 30-40 FPS, I get only at HomeFront the same speed, if I put everything down as far as it goes, and then adjust the resolution to 800x600. However, differences between high and very low I do not (except for shade).
The heart of the game I think is next to the excellent single player mode, the multiplayer. In the I want to refer me now.

Multiplayer: I go to the Server Search. I quickly Countless found, of which, however, only about 10 servers players are (but many). From 12-32 people that are on a server that I select and Joine one. First, a cut scene that explains the mode and then the loading screen. The charging time is very short and fast as I am in the game. Here I would first expect 6 classes and 6 vehicles but Grayed.
A click on "Arise" (a very funny translation of the word "Spawn") and you're on the battlefield.
Equipped with an M4 and a M9 now I'm running through the streets of a small town. In the distance I see an opponent. By holo-visor of the weapon I aim for it and prefer it. And indeed, he dies. First, a surprise that the weapons have a low recoil. Approximately 10 seconds later I meet in front of me an opponent. We both shoot like crazy, although I win at the end but stand just before death. Then I'll gesnipert. Sniper Camper than exist as a party size in the game and especially on large maps is they are as good as ever encounter.
In general you should not have much longevity. Every life is short and it is also proved. With about 5 balls can kill an opponent. However, apart from the very fun gameplay, but we take a look at the weapons and settings that you can select the menu called "armory".:

Main weapons: The heart of a soldier. Here assault rifles, submachine guns and machine guns, and sniper rifles are selectable. Among them also Unlockable visors and disguises. Also, both the character per se, as well as the weapons unlockable ranks. When it comes to 50 characters including ranks as recruit or sergeant, while weapons ranks denominated in M4 as: M4 Recruit, M4 Certified, M4 beginners, etc.
I find that they have well brought this feature into play.
There are also prescribed things that in each class Must be such as the M9 pistol or Frag Grenade. As for the M9, you can exchange them for Opposing Force.

Secondary grenade: Here you can choose to either stun grenades or grenade enemy vehicles off temporarily.

Equipment 1 & 2: An interesting feature in Homefront: When killing enemies you get BP (Battle Points). If you have collected enough, you can either Unlocked vehicles spawning or these so-called. Buy equipment. There are everything from navigable drones or controllable mini helicopters and rocket launchers to reconnaissance drones and body armor. This points system sounds not only good, it works well!

Perks: Again, there are perks. From Fast recharging and longer battery of drones and more. However, it has a limitation. Depending on the level is a number given (I am currently level 12 - Number 4). Some Perks have a number of 1, 2 or 3. You may only use so many perks that you can not exceed the 4. So we can max 4 1 Series, 3 Series and 1 or 2 2er 1 of 4. With what you play every self is ultimately left.

Sound: The sound I was very surprised: The German language edition has convinced me that screams sound realistic, the text is well emphasized only "off Tango" that sounds very inhuman. It is simply an English term and should remain so. The weapon sounds are of course not to be calculated for the year 2027, they sound realistic all.

Conclusion: In addition to the performance problems and the short story of the Pops in 2011! It's definitely worth a look, and for the price a My personal recommendation. Steam that is the way needed to play, does not bother me in the least, because I've gotten used to it when playing it.
