Game modes

Homefront for PC, PS3 and X360 not only offers singleplayer campaign, but an expanded multiplayer mode with dedicated servers support as well.

Mechanics

Animated scenes in which the player observes the events occurring on the screen from first-person perspective often cut-in the gameplay. During the game one can use various weapons – from regular M16 rifles to futuristic shotguns and sniper rifles. One will also have an opportunity to fly a helicopter and assume the role of a gunner in a Humvee vehicle. From time to time one can control an RC vehicle named Goliath which is very effective against infantry and enemy vehicles. Interesting depiction of occupied America is worth mentioning – the game doesn’t lack brutal and controversial scenes such as bloody executions or showings of mass graves.
