I've just pre-ordered this. Found a site where it's £32.85.
Was debating this or Crysis 2 and I went for this as I think crysis 2 MP will get boring very quickly.

Best price is £29.99 that I have found

What multiplayer game modes does it have?

Is it DLC? I thought it was something similar to the 'VIP Code' feature Battlefield BC2 had cause it says on the description that every game already comes with the code, looks like it's just a way for THQ to make some extra money if people buy the game 2nd hand.

It could be that then, only had a quick glimpse last night before hitting BfBc2.

Apparently the game comes with a code that you put in to play multiplayer. If you don't enter the code, you can only go up to level 5. That's scuppered my rental somewhat.

That sucks, was planning to do the same!
Hope not all start this as has been rumoured.

Chandler_90 · 15 Mar 2011 at 08:22

I'm tempted to pick this up this weekend as I have a few games to trade

Any reviews around yet?

IGN: 7/10

+ Good story
+ Has guns
- Looks like crap
- Short campaign

CVG: 8/10

At times, too creatively conservative - but an engrossing, cleverly realised shooter with CoD-beating multiplayer.
Uppers
Refreshingly domestic environments
Stunning last mission
Some very cool set pieces
Intelligent enemy
Well defined NPCs
Outstanding multiplayer
Little campaign 'filler'
Downers
Team-mates are plebs
Too much hand-holding
Short campaign

Luckily, Homefront's multiplayer goes a long way to making up for this brevity - and comes highly recommended. If you liked Bad Company 2 or Kaos's own Frontlines: Fuel Of War, you're going to love this. Dedicated servers have kept every trial we've tested steady as a rock, whilst the addition of drones and the ability to spawn into someone else's vehicle keep things fresh and varied.

Throw in large scale Ground Control missions, a fierce Skirmish mode and an impromptu priority-based mission generator in the form of the Battle Creator, and Homefront's multiplayer really packs a punch. We'd go so far to say that this is the classiest, best value multiplayer shooter on the market, comfortably bettering both recent CoD monsters and edging ahead of Bad Company 2. It deserves a wide, fully engaged audience.

Glad to hear MP is good as that's what i'm getting it for.

Think I'll wait till It comes down in price if the campaign is short :-/

Chandler_90 · 15 Mar 2011 at 11:42

I'm probs still gonna pick this up... 7 and 8 out of 10 is ok I suppose.. If it got a 5 then I'd probably give it a miss..

TriedandTested · 15 Mar 2011 at 11:42

Think I'll pick this up for the MP. Looks like it's worth a shot and could be fun.

OriginalJonty · 15 Mar 2011 at 11:49

Edge Magazine gave it a 5/10.

Averaging around 86 on Metacritic.

Drunzer · 15 Mar 2011 at 11:58

Just ordered this, after the reviews I couldn't take it anymore it had to be bought!

Same, SP mode is not as important now im online again, MoH wasnt that long either tbh.

elrasho · 15 Mar 2011 at 13:04

I'm on the fence about this one, MP looks manic and frantic ala COD where as I prefer more of BC2s gameplay.

Soulja · 15 Mar 2011 at 13:16

It's definatly more like BC. Big open maps. If you try to run and gun you'll just die over and over again.
