Homefront release date announced (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

2 February 2011

Homefront will be released on March 15, 2011 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC announced publisher THQ at a new Investor’s Call. President and CEO Brian Farrell confirmed that the game has been officially delayed to that date, as originally it was scheduled for release on March 8th.

Why the short delay?

Well, Pokemon Black & White and Dragon Age 2 both release on March 8th, so that probably explains it.

“Homefront is a first-person shooter that challenges players to survive and impact a fictional future scenario in which America has been economically devastated and occupied by a foreign power. In the face of overwhelming oppression, you must choose whether to submit to military forces, take the fight to the enemy or even throw your lot in with the invaders. Additional features include: a single player campaign written by Hollywood screenwriter John Milius, online multiplayer support for up to 32 players, ground and vehicular combat, and more.

Home is Where the Heart Is
The year is 2027, and the world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. To make matters worse, crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners… or collaborators… or revolutionaries.”

Here is a trailer for Homefront.

Key features of Homefront include:

Take the battle online, experiencing large scale multiplayer action like never before in epic infantry and vehicle warfare.

Discover a terrifyingly plausible near-future world in which the familiar has become alien in this nightmare vision of Occupied USA.

Fight for a cause joining a cast of memorable characters as your resistance cell wages a guerrilla war against overwhelming military odds in the name of Freedom.

Witness the human cost of war in a gripping story from the pen of John Milius as told through immersive, interactive 1st person cut scenes.

Experience explosive FPS gameplay as you battle through a dynamic mix of infantry and vehicle combat in a gripping single player campaign boasting intense, memorable set pieces.

COD take a back seat here comes HOMEFRONT!!!!!!!

I don’t think this will take over COD. I don’t think any FPS game will for a long time. COD is an awesome series and all other FPS games steal from the COD platform. I don’t understand the hate for COD, it’s really good and the developers try to modify the game from one to the next to get what everyone wants. I bet 99% of everyone who buys this game has at least MW2 & Black Ops while about 20% of people with MW2 and Black Ops have Homefront. That in of itself tells you how great the COD series is.
