So the day has finally come. After three years of development and a ton of press coverage, the typical new FPS IP hype machine has run its course and we finally have the opportunity to see for ourselves what all the hullabaloo surrounding Homefront is about. After following the development pretty much since the initial announcement back in 2009 and already having some playtime with the multiplayer component, my desire to see what the rest of the package had in store had been growing at a steady clip over the last few weeks. In fact, it was with a bit of trepidation that I tore the plastic off of the final retail copy when it arrived in the mail. Will Homefront deliver? Will it be THAT game? You know, the game that walks in as a new IP with an unproven legacy, yet is still able to go toe-to-toe with today’s current heavy hitters like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Halo?

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.
Deep Silver and Humble Bundle are currently offering the first Homefront game for free. This offer will last for the next 48 hours, so be sure to visit its Humble Bundle page in order to acquire your free copy.
get it! the single player is excellent and intense and the MP is pretty fun, too.
Ehh, PS4 needs these deals too, or consoles in general we always get discounts rarely free stuff that's REALLY free (games with gold / psplus isn't free)
Yeah its nice, Just sign up and add them to your steam. even f you dont own a gaming PC, you might one day.
So i was kinda right then. they may have really done this hoping to make this game last for the online play. lets hope so.
