LOL. Check the interwebs. I'm far from the only one with issues. The twitter accounts alne for the developers are riddled with complaints.

I just played about 5-6 games with hardly any issues. There was the occasional lag skip but it only happened about three or four times in those six games.

How much did they give you for it? Let me guess, $25?

$64.95 in store credit...

I told them it was a gift I didnt want, which explained the lack of a recipt...

Paid off the Gears 3 CE and put the rest towards Arkham City

Oh, so you never opened it? Did they change their policy because they would NEVER take back anything without a receipt.

Maybe Buzzman can chime in but what is up with the lack of communication in this game? I don't think it's just this game though. The last few times I've played any Xbox game online it seems no one talks anymore. I find it hard to believe everyone is in party chat.

I guess so, bc they took the unopened game with no problem, scanned it in and put it on the display with the other copies....

it was pretty sweet that it worked...

Homefront feels like the community is all over 21. As of yet, I've never heard a little teenager talk. As for not a lot of people talking, I'm guessing it is because the games last longer then average and people are off doing their own thing. An example of this is I've seen myself jump on for a quick game or two and don't even bother throwing on a mic. It seems like the game is made up of older guys. I do see that a lot of people have mics, they just don't talk on them.

I'm looking to review this game Tuesday, since I'll be swamped tomorrow. I definitely feel like I've had enough experience with the game to give it a proper score.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm really enjoying the online. I just played for another few hours. It seemed like it was mostly British guys the last few games and they were chatty.

I'm definitely feeling less disappointed about my purchase. I think I've gotten about $60 worth already and I plan on playing online a ton more.

i noticed there was no one talking when i was playing online. a lot of people had headsets too. at one point i was going "hello hello". dead silence. this was on the ps3. i thought it was rather odd.

Hey Twigg....The dude at my Gamestop told me if I PREOREDED any game, and picked it up and didnt like it. I could return the game and get full price 2-3 days after I picked it up. Dont know if that had anything to Medellin get 60 bucks. But thats what dude told me.

FWIW They do this at Gamestop's in Canada.

That's something that I've noticed on both MAG and BC2. The majority of randoms either don't have a mic or don't use it.

Ahh....i was unaware of the whole concept when the kid told me. I thought it was a joke. Nice tho...

Yeah, after posting about the silence I took note. It seemed like most people had headset icons but no one was talking. I'm sure some were in Party Chat but no way all of them.

Buzzman, have you confirmed the extra 360 map? I thought it was called Suburban or something but I haven't seen it yet. Is it in certain modes?

I'm sure its linked to certain game mode, but I have played it a few times. So far my favorite map is the one with White Castles and the one with the giant hilltop overlooking the mini town.

I know you have said it's bullshit to charge for DLC but if this wiki is right ti might be badass if they include multiplayer maps as well.

Kaos Studios announced that upcoming DLC will take place after the events of Homefront. The DLC will point out directions to a decided sequel taking place in London around the events of Homefront. Recently, a leak confirmed that there will be two DLC with three single player missions for each one. It was confirmed that you will assume the role of Robert Jacobs once again pushing the Korean army out of California. The second DLC will assume the role of an unknown SAS soldier with his squad taking back Hawaii from the North Koreans. This campaign will open doors to the Homefront sequel, which takes place in London.

 

[Twigg4075]

Fuck them in the mouth if they release paid campaign DLC. I prefer single player DLC but they have some serious balls if they think they can charge for an add-on to a four hour campaign.

 

[Buzzman]

I highly doubt anyone who buys the DLC is buying it for single player, I as well as 80% of its community want the maps.

I <3 white phosphorous.

short ass game. Glad I rented. Online any good? Might give it another rent if so. Rented Dragon Age 2 and got caught up in that so didn't really play this to much
