PC gaming information. Anyone who is considering the game for PC should probably read it.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

More pc gaming information. Very nice detail on the cockpits.

Funny... about 2 or 3 weeks ago, gas dropped down to 1.08L, and driving home, every gas station I passed was completely congested with cars. There were several accidents at some pumps where people tried to cut one another off, and I guess you could say it was complete 'Kaos' (quick! someone post a rimshot pic )
Just made me remember the scene with $20.00/L gas and all the cars backed up around the block in the trailer, and I was like "OHSHI- NORTH KOREA IS INVADING BRITISH COLUMBIA!"

Ha! if one line of the story mentions what happens to Canada I'll be very impressed. America get fake-invaded all the time but no one mentions what Canada's doing at the time. Can't even say we're "engrossed in the Stanley Cup playoffs while America destroyed" because there's gotta be some American teams involved in that.

Maybe the moose and caribou are more effective as defensive weapons than we realize.

Actually if you read deeper than surface level, there's good reason for that. Canada completely closed it's borders to Americans 7 years earlier, and Mexico followed soon after. The reason you never hear about either of the two is because we've completely isolated the US. The story talks about Canada moving thousands of troops to FOBs along the 49th parallel to enforce the closure. It's assumed that they're still there in the events of the game, and NK leaves them be because it can't afford to be fighting across the entire continent all at once.
It has to do with some sort of plague - a fatal whooping cough that causes internal bleeding or something. Read the story.
And FoB stands for 'Forward Operating Base'. It's basically a temporary/semi permanent military base or outpost that's put up with the intent of being functional for an indefinate amount of time.

Speaking of that stereotype I find that Wisconsiners act more like stereotypical canadians than actual canadians which is funny as hell because my mexican uncle says 'eh' all the time.

If that means the Vikings are no longer in the NFL I will support that endeavor. Metallifan you have my word that if I ever become president of the United States I will sell the state of Minnesota to Canada. Except for the Mall of America which will become its own micronation.
We got our copies of homefront in along with the game guide. Sadly the game guides are shrink wrapped... anywho the game guides are also free with purchase of Homefront, and you get a $15 dollar gift card to boot. Take that gamestop and your lame offerings!
I find it funny that they put "Groundbreaking 32 player Multiplayer" on the back of both console versions. I don't know about XBox, but 32 players isn't ground breaking for the PS3.
It's more that it is groundbreaking and 32 player. The 32 player thing has been done quite regularly on the PC too.
From what I can tell, it's the following:
Ground Control (a modified capture point system similar to F:FoW): 32 players
Team Deathmatch: 24 players
Both Battle Commander modes (GCBC and TDMBC, using the system as described in this thread): 24 players
Skirmish (I'm not sure what this is): 18 players
I'm hoping on the PC they'll let server owners change GCBC mode into thirty two players though.

That would be awesome, but I haven't heard anything of it on the community forums.
If it is, I hope to play it with my steam friends a lot.

I'm tempted to get this... but don't know if I shall or not. Suppose I could trade in some games I don't really play any more (I hate doing that though).

If you do, you and I shall have gaming shenanigans

Anywho, is there a demo out yet?

I agree. They sure like they're hockey down there eh?
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, don't expect this game's single palyer to be easy. The game hates you, and the enemy AI cheats constantly. Cover's basically worthless.
