But it's some of the new ideas Kaos have brought to the table which could make Homefront a contender.īattle Points, the games reward system, offers a refreshing alternative to killstreaks or levelling-up based kit unlocks. Squint slightly and you could be playing any old Xbox 360 army shooter. In terms of the basic gameplay, it's pretty unremarkable stuff. It's a bold, and some would say foolish move to enter a market already saturated by triple-A heavyweights, but building on the relative success of their previous title, Frontlines, Homefront looks to offer something a bit different from the Halos and CODs of this world by focusing more on multiplayer action of a larger scale – something I got to try out during a look at some early code of the game last month. Sadly, developer Kaos overlooked such rich source material to instead offer a generic, yet potentially promising FPS set in a near-future world where the US has been invaded by a North Korea-led Asian alliance. In a better world, Homefront would be a Dad's Army themed shooter, putting you in control of Captain Mainwaring and Jonesy as they take on Nazi marauders armed only with a British stiff upper lip and a sidecar-mounted railgun.
