Set in a near-future United States under foreign occupation, Homefront casts you as a former U.S. pilot drawn into a resistance cell. The campaign follows the group through occupied communities as it fights against a stronger military force.
On foot, you move through linear missions, use weapons and cover in firefights, and take part in guerrilla-style attacks. Some sequences put you in control of military vehicles or combat drones, shifting the action beyond standard infantry combat.
Online multiplayer features large battles with infantry, tanks, attack helicopters, and combat drones. The modes center on team warfare across open battlefields.
Players who enjoy Homefront often point to its occupied-America setting and gritty atmosphere, along with cinematic battles and vehicle sequences that break up the infantry combat. Some appreciate its short, brisk campaign, while others find it too brief and its story or characters underdeveloped. Reviews also frequently describe the linear, scripted design and controls as dated or rough; opinions on the gunplay vary. Some remember the multiplayer fondly, but many recent reviewers say it is largely inactive.
