Homefront Multiplayer Preview ft. Brian Holinka - Feature - Platform32

[ills1ck01]

lets put COD on the left, the BF series on the right.. this game is gonna win the hearts of the gamers that float in the middle, its COD style arcade with BF style tanks and other big guns.. without the seriousness :) and so freakin easy..

[MrBmonster101]

good interview....he shouldnt be chewing gum though...

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@MrBmonster101 Haha, I totally grabbed him unaware for this interview so i think he just forgot to spit it out!

[dark808ninja]

finally a shooter which looks like is gonna be a sucess, man i have high hopes for this game alot of ppl are probally also going to quit cod and battlefield for this new game coming soon, looks alot promising and i like how he said your gonna be comfortable with how the game plays cause its like most shooters controls but theres also alot of difrrent too that will keep you intrested and seperate it from other fps games

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@dark808ninja If you like COD or Battlefield chances are you will love this one, the online I have played is awesome.

[GeezerGameGuideZ]

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@GeezerGameGuideZ Lol! Thanks buddy!

[GeezerGameGuideZ]

@PlatformThirtyTwo Your my fav pal. When do you upload? Weekly, or random.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@GeezerGameGuideZ I try to upload at least once a week, if there is enough content available I can do more! Got another feature, 2x reviews and a half hour show incoming!

[GeezerGameGuideZ]

@PlatformThirtyTwo nice, ill look forward to it. Will we be seeing more homefront?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@GeezerGameGuideZ I should be doing a short review of it, hopefully will be online after the weekend :)

[GeezerGameGuideZ]

@PlatformThirtyTwo Have you got XBL? If so, PM me and ill add you and play with you this weekend pal. :)

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@GeezerGameGuideZ Sure have, the gamertag is SnrHiggers . Not sure if I will be online much though, I have managed to do the half hour show but still need to do the reviews and other feature over the weekend. Sods law that when I start a show about games I actually play games less!

[GeezerGameGuideZ]

@PlatformThirtyTwo Your freind list is full m8, thats why you pm me. Lol, coz randomers add you. :) Add my GT When ur ready, x 3GZ FuSi0NZz

[delvato70]

A guy throws a gernade and runs into it, well 5 ft from it and lives, Save up points for a tank, just to be hit by an emp nade, dissabled and c4'ed seems like a waste. And if one team is dominating theres no chance for a come back in the end because they will have all the armor? Set to release in a few weeks this is all based on the single mulitiplayer video they have out, gonna have to pass until I get some real player feed back. (has hopes but not high hopes) moh/codbo crushed those

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@delvato70 I'll be heading to another Homefront press event soon to try out more multiplayer, and the single player plus I'll be grabbing some interviews, so stay tuned and hopefully I will be able to answer some of your questions in the near future :)

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@delvato70 I asked the Creative Director on Homefront your question at a preview event today - answers coming soon!

[Keyzone3]

One thing thats really bugging me about this game, all the developers are always going on about ground control, is that the only multi player game type or are there more?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@Keyzone3 There will definitely be different game modes, but I think Ground Control is the one which is most 'unique' so they are pushing that to make the game seem more exciting.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@Keyzone3 I asked the Creative Director on Home front your question at a preview event today - answers coming soon!

[moneyman1736]

whats Q1

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@moneyman1736 First quarter of the year.

[SuperTrEnT1995]

weres the america shirts at?

[briansoccerplayer182]

@PlatformThirtyTwo yeah! It would be awesome if homefront allowed u to!

[briansoccerplayer182]

@PlatformThirtyTwo lol thank you I hope u can be able to change them to cod controls like u can in killzone 3

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@briansoccerplayer182 Yeah me too, i think all games should let you customise your controls!

[vercifx]

@PlatformThirtyTwo opefully they do because that would be so much better to be alreadyfamiliar with the controls before starting the new game (which is what i hope that guy was leading towards in the interview) Though that is probably only possible for the CPU games because that would probably be too hard on the engine trying to memorise everyone's ersonal codes which would result in glitches in controls

[Biogem369]

fuke off stupid zombies!

[briansoccerplayer182]

@PlatformThirtyTwo will the controls be similar to COD?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@briansoccerplayer182 They were very similar, only real difference when I played was that you used the d-pad to purchase stuff with your battle points. I was told at the preview event that the controls could change by the time it makes final release stage so dont take my word for it ;)

[Nolting1995]

@briansoccerplayer182 the controls are exactly the same as cods

[briansoccerplayer182]

@PlatformThirtyTwo I can't wait for this game it's really different then other fps with the battle points this game will need skill and I'm gonna order this for sure!!

[freedomsstain]

I can just picture dirty spawn camping pricks sitting in the enemy spawn racking up kills to buy the cool gear instead of fully participating in the game.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@freedomsstain I asked the Creative Director on Homefront about this at a preview event today - answers coming soon!

[ga24ward]

at 00:48, Dedicated Servers. FTW!!!

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@ga24ward Hell yes!

[evilmob]

they stole taht from wolfenstien!! RAGE

[Modiesel1286]

Please anything particular about cod that wasn't a rip off of battlefield series? Besides rediculous perks and strange weapons? Fuk cod. Shit is cheap. Cheaply made and cheaply played PERIOD

[OMGaBALLOON]

I hope it wont be too vehicle heavy. Basically meaning, i hope there isnt like 3 vehicles around every corner.

[WangstaWhiteboy]

What happens if all 32 people buy tanks?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@WangstaWhiteboy Ultimate Tank Warfare!!!

[holtyhero]

@WangstaWhiteboy well if anybody doesnt have a tank, they are fucked in a tank battle

[WangstaWhiteboy]

@holtyhero Haha hell yes they are. I'm pretty sure it will balance out though, because not everyone is going to be raping and getting the points to buy tanks. The shitty people will die in this game!!! lol

[SuperTrEnT1995]

@WangstaWhiteboy all hell will break loss. lol

[vincent860906]

@WangstaWhiteboy what happen if all 32 people buy heli?

[vercifx]

@WangstaWhiteboy actually that probably wouldnt work because not everyone can do ownage in one game. If one guy has 50 kills+4 deaths, the other people cant have scores like that cuz that guy is stealig all the kills.The other team cant be like that too because evry1 on the other team is dying to that guy with 50 kills and 4deaths.I used to think about that but i know that cant happen.Also there will probably be a limit just like helicopters in CoDwhre u cnt have 2 chpper gnners at the same time

[vaperfrog]

@WangstaWhiteboy Shit goes down bitch!!!

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@WangstaWhiteboy I asked the Creative Director on Homefront your question at a preview event today - answers coming soon!

[i1extinct1i]

This has potential but I'm worried it won't be slick enough.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@i1extinct1i The version I played was very early dev code so it was still a bit scruffy but it played very well and I can only see it improving dramatically for the final release.

[cahunter10]

@PlatformThirtyTwo youve played it??

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@cahunter10 Yes, but only the multiplayer portion, during the press preview event where I filmed this interview with Brian :)

[couchminer]

so are there custom classes like in call of duty or like battlefield

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@couchminer The customisation doesn't go as deep as COD, but you can choose between classes, then most of the customisation is done on the fly during the match once you earn battle points.

[kisharsenal]

Who thinks this game focuses too much on America. I mean its on every sign, every uniform and every vehicle. Being British I hope that doesn't put me off the game.

[TheBotZero]

@kisharsenal well the game is about north korean occupation of america so...yeah

[kisharsenal]

Rather than saying they copied modern warfare 2 he says "We made the game comfortable for the players" lol

[kisharsenal]

The battle points system is going to knock team play into the thickest heads. This is an actual game that might be better than Battlefield BC2!

[TheObamaYoMama]

Will there be Hardcore mode?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@TheObamaYoMama That was not revealed to us during the demo so i'm afraid your guess is as good as mine!

[iGh0stAssasin]

How are you digging multiplayer so far can you give me your rating on a scale from 1-10?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@iGh0stAssasin The multiplayer I played was Alpha coding so it was a little scruffy, but all in all it played pretty cool. From my experience on the day i would give it a 7/10 but i expect it to be much better for the final product!

[shasjas]

damn, they put a damage modifying ability. im hoping its different to stopping power in COD, but i cant see a way which it can be.

[microoo101]

@shasjas I see what ur saying man, I also hope its not dominating like stopping power was in CoD, but if they balance their "abilities"(perks) like BFBC2, I guess it will be fine. In BFBC2 u have Magnum ammo which is basically like stopping power, but w/ out it u still do very well.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@DazeMaker83 Me too! :)

[xBExSeRiOuSx]

anyone know if this has destructible environments.? I mean just in part at least. But anyway looks very good.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@xBExSeRiOuSx The multiplayer levels I played did not seem to have any destructible objects in them. I have not had the pleasure of trying the single player campaign yet though, so I don't know if there are destructible environments included there.

[jtagnigga]

ugly sights for the red dot ugly 

[iGh0stAssasin]

@jtagnigga Its callled Acog and it looks like its supposed to be. -_-

[TheInTeRcEpToR123]

this is gonna be a hit

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@TheInTeRcEpToR123 I agree!

[xSTATEoFTheARTx]

This game is not like CoD apart from the fact that it's a FPS. Stop saying it is, the developers have said they want to be on top of the large scale warfare games, not shitty small map shooting then pulling out a knife and sprinting around like a tool before you pull a laptop out of your ass and call in a nuke just cause you killed around 20 guys. This is realistic, and it's gonna be good. As good as BFBC2

[Rider757Ghost]

I think they are coming out with the beta in febuary

[Rider757Ghost]

FUCK Infinity Ward and Treyark.

[microoo101]

@Rider757Ghost FUCK Treyarch, IW is good, they suffer from balance issues, but their games are always full of innovation. Anyways I have really high hopes for this game, I'm really sick of CoD, and Battlefield is starting to get boring too.

[LilATL94]

Na I disagree with all of you that think that this is COD and BFBC. It's more like Frontlines Fuel Of war the way I see it.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@LilATL94 Brian Holinka worked on Frontlines so you are pretty spot on with the similarity there.

[narutostranger]

32 ? players online

[Fyrwe]

what does Q1 stand for?? quarter 1 ?

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@Fyrwe Yes it does, so expect the game sometime early next year :)

[TheInTeRcEpToR123]

@PlatformThirtyTwo yh they said in march

[YaBaDji]

I'm buying this game !

And wont buy Moh, Cod black ops and Bf3 .

Fock EA and Dice , Fock Activision and IW

[MrJokertime1]

@YaBaDji treyarch made black ops not iw

[TheJohn0363]

so this is basically CoD with the option to buy stuff in the game with your points diminishing next game from MGO 4 Online, looks decent though, but for the reason that I have already played this game, in the previous stated games, I am out.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@TheJohn0363 Yeah, you pretty much nailed it although it does play and feel slightly different to COD, the version I played was like a pre-alpha code though so it needed a lot of work but still played really well. I think it will be worth a purchase if you are totally into these types of games though (like me!) hopefully there will be a demo in the future!

[XMarkusMaximusX]

@TheJohn0363 COD? how do you know it even plays like COD? and it looks like it plays like bad company 2 except with a better, smoother shooting system. So your saying you should keep battle points so then everyone can start the next game they play in a Tank or say a Chopper? wouldnt that be retarded? and take away from the game especially since he is talking about one of the key aspects being the rising intensity? you should really play before you make up your mind.

[thehegarty87]

zombie kid likes turtles

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@thehegarty87 Damn straight he does!

[LarryBundyJr]

Interesting, so it's Modern Warfare does Counter-Strike? :D

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@LarryBundyJr Yes definitely, with a bit of Bad Company 2's vehicle based antics thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed it, looking forward to trying the final build :)

[LarryBundyJr]

@PlatformThirtyTwo Sweet! Any news on a release?

THQ don't invite me to events :(

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@LarryBundyJr Not till Q1 2011 allegedly. Should be a pretty good one though!
