Just read 21 pages of complaints about the FPS being between 20 & 50 on multiplayer and you can finnish the SP in 4 hours lots of unhappy people,glad i'm not buying.
 
To be honest from what ive seen on Youtube it just looks like another COD game and the graphics dont look all that good.

Im betting there will be no demo for us to try....probably wont be buying it until i read other peoples reviews.

Heres a user review:


User Review On IGN said:
this game is pure garbage. the second it loaded up i knew i was in trouble. i expected more of a battlefield/cod split type game on graphics and gameplay. what i got was a fps form of Company of Heroes. looks like they used the same flat skins from the rts game and design. horrible gun skins and sounds, glitches everywhere with enemy just appearing out of thin air in the middle of an open area. thanks i played this game for maybe 30 minutes and i got irritated. the vehicles are crap that u get in or control. what a disappointment oh well im glad it wasnt 60 buckso nly good part about it,

What a bummer. I was looking forward to this game. There was a lot in the multilayer that seemed like it would have been a good change.
 
Got this from another site.
Hey folks! While a lot of players have been enjoying the game online, we realize there's a few of you on the forums stuck with some issues. I've been trying to reply to threads where I can, but those responses often get buried... so I've decided to make a central thread! Below is a list of issues I've seen come up on the forums and suggestions that have helped others. Hopefully the suggestions below will fix your issue while we work on the patches.

I should also mention anytime I talk about GCEngine.ini, that's located in "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\HOMEFRONT\GCGame\Config". If a step requires editing it and you're not familiar with editing .ini files, please skip that step and wait for a patch.


Issue: The game won't load (at all)

Likely Cause: Your video card has poor compatability with Dx11.

Probable Solution: In Steam: Right-click on HomeFront. Click Properties. Click "Set Launch Options". Enter "-d3d9" (no quotes). Try again.


Issue: No Audio

Cause: Speakers set to anything other than Stereo or 5.1 sound

Solution: This has been addressed in the 48MB patch on March 17th. If you still have an issue, try switching to Stereo. If still an issue, PM me.


Issue: Audio Stutters / Out of Sync

Likely Cause: Game is not able to stream and decompress sound quick enough.

Possible Solutions:


1. Load up Windows' "Resource Monitor" and see if there's anything utilizing your hard disks (if so close those apps).

2. Benchmark your Windows hard disk using the "Windows Experience Index" if it seems low, your drivers can setup incorrectly.

3. Try switching your windows sound to Stereo.

4. Edit your GCEngine.ini. Find [XAudio2.XAudio2Device]. Raise or lower MaxChannels. MinCompressedDurationGame should be set to 60. If it's still causing issues, try setting it to 5.


Issue: Poor Framerate

Possible Solutions:


1. Try lowering your graphics settings.

2. Follow the directions for solution #1 to add "-d3d9" to your command-line parameters. This will force DirectX9 mode.

3. Disable Vertical Sync in the graphics settings. Note your driver may be set to override the setting in the game, so double-check that.

4. Disable FPS smoothing.

5. Type the following command into the console: "stat unit". The numbers will tell you if your rendering is slow, or your CPU cannot keep up with the game logic.

6. If your "Frametime" from "stat unit" is more than 5ms higher than the maximum of your Game or Render times, you can try to edit your GCEngine.ini manually.

i. In GCEngine.ini, look for [SystemSettings]. Ensure your UseVSync and UseFPSSmoothing are false.

ii. Change to OneFrameThreadLag=TRUE. This will ensure your GPU always has something to do.


Issue: Cannot Connect to MP Servers

Probable Cause: Incorrectly configured firewall

Possible Solution: Try connection your computer directly to the internet (temporarily) in order to test if it is indeed your firewall settings causing the issue.
 
My First impressions of the game is that its a mix between Halo and COD. I say Halo because the characters are so badly designed that they look like the characters out of Halo. And COD because the way the GUI looks. This has assured me i will not be buying this game.
