Here is some extra info about the Homefront

How many players in Multiplayer on PC?
Homefront will support 32 player servers on PC when the game ships. Our large maps actually play best with that number.

Will there be a PC Beta/Demo?
Right now the teams at Kaos Studios & Digital Extremes are working hard on finishing the game at the highest level of quality possible. Of course we'd love to release a public Demo, but this would detract efforts from the main game.

Is there environmental destruction?
Only low-level, mostly superficial destruction

What are the server requirements?
Server requirements are actually pretty low, such that more processing power simply yields the ability to run more servers concurrently.

but the the engine that the game is based on Unreal engine is what i'm not sure of

What made you change your mind??

When i first saw it Swanny i was not over impressed and i have been following the game for sometime,reading interviews,watching developers diary,and many different videos of the game in question.

Some vids i watch look really good then other times the game dont look so cool depending on what video you watch.

Its not a game that has me totally excited like others so review scores and previews of the game will make me decide if to Stick Or Twist.

I have it on pre/order but that may well change in the next week or so if i see rubbish reviews or mediocre game scores.

More excited about Crysis 2 and Brink..................and Killzone 3 is really good and Bulletstorm is a awesome blast.

Same logic can be applied to Crysis 2 when i played the Multiplayer demo on xbox live,again not really a mind blowing experience and again not really that impressed,but then you watch the single player videos of the game on either console it looks stunning.

I am quite happy to have a very long single player game that looks this good but hope that the single player multiplayer demo on a map called skyline is not the full representation of the finished build.

Still excited about this game Swanny then check out the new Multiplayer Trailer just released HERE.

After watching this even myself is getting a little pumped up about this game because as you know on previous posting i was not that bothered to much for the game.

Its a game that has my attention but up until a few weeks back i was not that convinced but this trailer makes me want to stand up and take notice.

Just out of interest the Official Playstation Magazine [Italy] Scores it a nice 9/10 saying that its one of the most intense shooters they have ever played.

Don't mean much i know as we all are aware of the Hype trail and games getting above or below review scores before.

Anyway its out 2 weeks today so all will be revealed for sure,had originally ordered it for the Playstation but have now gone for the xbox 360 version after ign.com slammed the Playstation 3 version of Crysis 2............Thought better be safe than sorry and change this also just in case.

And the best news it has dedicated servers for all versions and not this P2P rubbish.

Ordered mine already

And the best news it has dedicated servers for all versions and not this P2P rubbish.

Hi guys

Always been a console gamer and envied pc guys on dedicated servers.

But question. Will dedicated servers make it difficult to play with a friend if his connection isn't as quick as the sever you join?

Cheers

Makes no difference and you can easily join your friends in game with invites and even game invites to the game you are playing.

Providing there is enough allocated slots left on the server,biggest difference is they run a lot smoother and faster without the Lag associated with P2P gaming and that particular persons connection needs to be pretty stable.

Another thing is that we don't have the problem of the game resetting when the local host quits the game which happens quite often in COD games.

Playing on dedicated Killzone 3 servers at the moment and apart from some delay in joining games that needs to be put right its great when in game.

Don't know why Guerrilla have not sorted out the server side problems with this game by now after all the closed beta testing.

Killzone 2 never experienced problems like this so 3 years later we should not get these flaws with the dedicated server issues.

Sorry mrnelster i just read your post again and the only difference that i can see regarding your friends connection not been as good as you say is the fact that his lag will be greater than others with better connections.

What console are you intending on getting Homefront for anyway ?

What console are you intending on getting Homefront for anyway ?

PS3!

Hopefully any problems will get sorted though.

So with dedicated servers it will come down simply to latency? I had been told by pc gamers in the past that you chose servers with similar latency to your own connection, but I guess there won't be a choice of server on the PS3?

I loved the look of killzone2 but couldn't play it online. Almost impossible to kill anyone with my connection. That's why I haven't bothered with kz3 . Hoping to get FTTC in the next few weeks and that could then be a different story! That's why I wondered about playing on a server with my mates who will still be on [censored] lines probably.

I've also looked at BF3 today and that looks like it kill off COD permanently! Probably go for homefront in the meantime though, as black ops lag is driving me mental.

The P3 version of Black ops is pants mate and i changed mine to a 360 version that runs ultra smooth,my mate has a cable 20 meg connection and he has had major problems playing that game with terrible lag and a host of other things.

I have heard in the past that you dont need to have download speeds that great to have decent online gaming,on many occasions when i have lived in rural houses i was lucky to get 1 meg but my gaming nights were brilliant even though my connection was only 1 meg at a push.

Besides all that a dont play Black ops anymore and my time is spent now with Killzone 3 which i love,Battlefield 3 looks awesome but its such a long way of and it will be winter before we get our hands on that.

With dedicated servers its whats your ping to a static server not to another player, the only issue you will have to worry about when playing with a friend is if the server fills up.

Consoles will probably have a matchmaking lobby which will get rid of that though.
