PatMan Looks like Homefront players, those that actually continued to play the game throughout all the lag, disconnections, unavailable network issues and lack of stable party play that is, have a nice 3 dollar “Fire Sale” Map pack coming their way. Thats a very good thing for gamers looking for a bargain in the DLC department. There are still some loyal followers of the game I am sure, even if they don’t make up a significant percentage of XBL players playing online every week, according to the stats Major Nelson gives out. For me 3 dollar DLC in a game that was equally as frustrating online as it was fun is irrelevant . Its too little too late. Even for 3 dollars, I wont be picking the map pack up. I refuse to support a company that has had so many issues with its online game. Maybe if I preferred to play online multiplayer completely alone, like back in my Halo 2 days, some of the frustration with this title would have been taken away. But for me, personally, Homefront will always be remembered as the most broken online game, with the most total online issues happening together, lasting the longest amount of time that I have ever played. And, because of that, I wont be downloading and supporting THQ with even 3 insignificant dollars of my money.

Vader always gets in the last word.
It was the length of the online problems that killed them. All the issues were ones we have faced in every game outside of reach. That said I won't be laying down 3 dollars for the map pack, although just for fun I should of went back and tried the online after the second patch. Decent game with some potential, wrecked by idiots not understanding server loads.
Its true that those issues appeared in other online games I played on the Xbox 360, aside from 2 games. Those 2 titles are Halo 3 and Halo Reach. But, I never played a game with lag that effected me so dramatically as in HomeFront. When I had one red bar, I would have records of 1-22. When I even had 2 yellow bars, it would be much better and I would be ,at the least, 50/50. The very rare time I had full green bars, I did pretty well. So the online issues were worse in HomeFront than in all the others games that also had similar issues, at least for me. Maybe the servers didn't like people from Calgary. Im sure as fuck not going to bother with the 3 dollar map pack.
