THQ Reveals Homefront Sales: 375,000
HomefrontWhy are investors jumping ship due to a few lower-than-anticipated review scores? The game seems to be doing just fine.
THQ has revealed the first-day sales for Homefront, the shooter by Kaos Studios that puts the People's Army of North Korea on the American doorstep. In the first day on store shelves, the title sold 375,000 units in North America; as we speak, it's heading to Europe and Asia, so more sales are imminent. Said Danny Bilson, executive vice president of THQ:
"Homefront's excellent multiplayer experience, combined with our commitment to dedicated servers, make this a must-have purchase for gamers. Due to the strong and growing demand for Homefront's multiplayer, we continue to add dedicated server capacity. We are confident that the large-scale multiplayer maps featuring 32 players, vehicles, infantry and drones, will continue to be a major draw for the huge audience of FPS gamers looking for a new experience over the coming months."
THQ president and CEO Brian Farrell said they're "delighted" with the game's sales thus far, so it looks like we can expect a sequel at some point. And remember, the game is getting favorable reviews from gamers everywhere, even if the critics aren't wholly enamored. You'll see our analysis shortly.

Also, as I said before, while the wasp is over powered, it's fairly easy to take out from a safe distance. You just have to find the right places to do it. It's a good way to rack up kills too as many idiots will always go back to it once you kill them like clock work.

You shouldn't be put off by the emphasis on vehicles it's fairly easy to take those guys out if you flank them. Just quickly use battle points to buy a rocket after freezing the vehicle with a emp grenade and let loose. Gotten many kills by doing that.
As for the air support well that's a different story. But I can assure you I've had games where I had thirty something kills using no vehicles. It's all about being tactical and using your battle points efficiently.

But since it's such a short SP mode, I'll wait for a decent price drop. Plus since my 60Gigger just died yesterday, I won't be playing any games on till July when I've got the money to get it repaired, along with buying a slim too just as a back-up.

The recent patches made things even worse. It f-ed up stats and deletes your progress.
The game is broken.
The solo mode is barely 5 hours long and the online mode is riddled with crap that make it not even worth a rent. Much less $40 or even $20 bucks.
They are other better games out there with more polish than this game. Spend your money on those.

The servers could be better. There have been some issues with joining a friend because as soon as you tried to enter a match your friend would be kicked and you would end up riding solo. This is my only issue really with the multiplayer besides a few freezes. Hopefully they send some kind of patch soon. Otherwise, it's awesome!

But for a new IP and a THQ game, 375000 sold in a day is a damn good number.

Get the game is you love MP and won't be getting Crysis 2. The SP is so short it doesn't merit a purchase by itself. The MP is very rich and deep and will satisfy for sometime.
