Wouldn't it be hilarious if GAF does a complete 180 on this and it becomes a GAF favorite?

Can't wait.

I have a feeling this will happen because I just finished playing some more multiplayer and had SO MUCH FUN.

I had to drag myself upstairs to get some sleep, but even now I find myself checking GAF to read some impressions from other players.

I was skeptical but I'm watching the stream and the MP seems fun especially Battle Commander. The game reminds me of MAG (maybe it's the visuals and HUD) with a smaller player count.

I will definitely buy it when the price drops in the UK, which will probably take a couple of weeks after release.

Badass stream.

Any way to stop other teammates from spawning into my vehicles? For example, if I wanted my friend to spawn into my chopper instead of some noob teammate.

I don't know... I don't think so. Perhaps if you're in a party, you will at least be spawned into your friends vehicle first, when possible?

Do you have a link for this? All I'm seeing is DSes for the PC version.

EDIT: Found a few more articles, but the message is very vague, plus I may be wrong, but I'm sure I spotted several instances of lag in that stream above.

Pre ordered mine from bee.com. It's £29.99! :)

There is definitely an instance in lag at the beginning of one the streaming guy's videos. He goes into a match where everyone had red bars except for one guy who had full green. Had to Google for sure if consoles did have dedicated servers. Probably just the result of the server maintenance they're doing prior to release.

Yeah, I saw that, too. It was really bad. I'm sure it'll be fixed, though. It was like that guy with only green was hosting.

According to their Facebook page for the game, it's all platforms.

BTW, who all is getting this for PS3? Would love to make a Clan/Meetup thread

I believe I may get to help somewhat in the patch process so I will check with you all on here for issues you are seeing and report them back to KAOS. Hopefully there aren't any huge issues.

This is not really an issue Deadly, but more of a hope .... Battle Commander is by far the best mode (in my opinion), I really hope they make it available to full 32 player matches. 24 is still good, but a couple of the maps are really big and as a result Battle Commander on those maps hurts from the reduced player count.

Pumped for the MP after watching some videos posted here. A bit worried, however. Got tired of CODBLOPS pretty fast, so hopefully my COD-fatigue doesn't affect me in this one.

It's too bad there isn't a Free for All mode, or something along the lines of an 'escort' mode.

I'm not sure if you can setup a Free for All-match in Private mode though. Haven't tried yet as I have no one playing it online :-(

It's a shame they don't have a Search & Destroy / Team Survival mode - Get killed, stay out until end of the round. I simply cannot stand respawn enabled modes.

Noted. When I get back home I will get a notepad list going with some of the Gaf suggestions. :)

Hey Cyclone, here are two suggestions/requests you can put on your list:
- Seperate volume control for VoIP (Voice Chat) in the options menu.
- The ability to limit Voice Chat to 'party only' (PS3).

Thanks!

Also, why didn't they add a 'press X to climb over or on top of this object'? That's my only big frustration with the game.

PS3 MP Stream.

BTW, I guess you can level up to 75 in this game. There is no prestiging, but levels 50-75 will be fore the hardcore guys/girls.

Prestiging is stupid anyway. What do you have to gain besides a star next to your name and lose all your shit?

This game is steamworks right?

GAME usually delivers a day early, so that means if I get it on Thursday I won't be able to play it until Friday.

My friends didn't truly respect me until I started prestiging in COD. It was like the prestige translated to real life.

Anyone on PC playing this at midnight? I'm considering it...

EDIT: Looooove the gun sounds so far.
Click to expand...

Dunno if it's the video that ruins it, but there seems to be absolutely no weight behind the shots with regards to the sounds...

I like the sound of gunfire off in the distance, but is that just background noise or actually battles during that map?

Totally seems full COD ripoff style now that I see it in proper action like that. They've even got the level up 'rock music'. *Sigh* Developers need to learn that they're never going to over take COD by imitation. DICE are on the right track with BF3 and trying to do more. Love it.

Sorry man but your wrong. The mp doesn't feel anything like cod aside from some similarities with the gunplay. If anything it feels a lot more like battlefield thanks to the huge maps and vehicle combat. For those that played Frontlines it feels EXACTLY like that.

Somebody said above it's like CoD got fused into Battlefield and that's somewhat true. Personally i think the game takes the best of both series and creates it's own animal.

Right. It copies some elements of other great games. And why wouldn't they, right? They just work.

But on top of that, they add some great new ideas. Add in some well-designed maps and lots of customization-options/perks to collect and you have a winner. The game is just so much fun, and eventhough it 'steals' some basics from other games, it still feels very fresh.

Watching the PS3 stream and the game looks fun as hell! I'm renting, but I could see myself enjoying this until SOCOM comes out!!!!

So I heard a lot of people say the MP in Medal of Honor took the bad parts of CoD and the bad parts of Battlefield and combined them. Is Homefront the good of each combined? Cuz that'd be great.

The transition could've been done a little better, but it's a great way to quickly visualize where the battle is taking place and if there are enemies close to where you are spawning.

THIS. I love how you get a quick snapshot of where the action is right when you spawn, especially on such big maps. Of course, spawning on a squad-mate might have worked better.

In most cases you can just spawn into one of your teammates passenger/turret-seats.
And if you're playing TDM, the maps aren't that big anyway.
