Imitation Tactics Review

Many game projects in the genre of first-person shooters like to repeat the runaway success, for example, the famous young and old Call of Duty. Often such projects all comes down to copying successful solutions and moves a little disguise them "under his" with the addition of a gag for decency and an advertising campaign about the undeniable uniqueness of his creations.

Imitation Tactics Review

However, with the release of the game in the light, the true state of things becomes clear from the start. But sales of the mechanism for the first couple, and even then by inertia time to bring the necessary income to its developers, and there is no longer much use, it has become a hit game or turned into another "prohodnyak". Perhaps a similar way could be to respond and on the Homefront, which is not particularly hide imitation giants in the genre, but still managed to get a game with his, though not entirely unique, but character.

Very Bad WRC

Game Homefront tells the story of the occupation of the Republic of Korea of ​​the Great Western United States, whose economy after the second wave of the crisis finally shaken that resulted in a nuclear attack on the weakened state of SRS. Regular US Army does not actually exist, and its few remnants in need of support. Among the occupied population formed resistance groups, sbiralsya not tolerate the status quo.

Protagonist Robert Jacobs, a former Air Force pilot, seated in the bus broke into his house Korean military. As you move through the streets of the town of Montrose, we are introduced to the brutal and inhuman treatment invaders with the local population seems to motivate the passage, awakening a desire to take revenge. The trip was interrupted by members of the Resistance, Connor and Rihanna, who rescues Robert, pushing him through the indwelling of the enemy troops to "Oasis" - the headquarters of the rebels. Head resistance Boone Jacobs is committed to their plans, hoping for mutual assistance. He is going to support the survivors of military groups and to start going to send them an enemy convoy with fuel, which is still required to capture. This and other operations will deal with Robert and his new comrades. The story, though, and linear, and standards, in principle, for millitari history, but still may at some point begin to sound a note of tragic and demonstrate large-scale battles. Therefore, the passage of the game does not cause tension and self-constraint.

Standard Set

Of course, all the while playing Homefront if I shot back in a familiar all shooter. Shooting is very simple, much oriented to a mass audience. Intelligence enemy malleable and only occasionally takes on the mind and decides to shoot you. And he does it extremely painful to note is worth. Variety of gameplay is not a fountain, but reprogrammed robot Koreans "Goliath" under our control spectacularly burst into the thick of the enemy and restore order brute force. Interactive insertion of a bombing of white phosphorus is also available, and the cut scenes are quite good in its formulation. Immerse yourself in an event should happen, and if it does, then grab a piece of pleasure is quite succeed. Yet again, not a fountain. Lots of battered bottoms and standard indicators, which are now not only not surprising, as some are beginning to annoy.

But it was a single party Homefront. Talking about the multiplayer mode is possible with biggest enthusiasm. Multiplayer turned out something like a mixture of Battlefield and Call of Duty. There are the typical fighter custom calculations, you can choose a weapon, a module to it, the type of bonus gadgets and a set of perks. Leveling online rather long, long time since I myself have occasionally look in the game, but still was not able to pump up to a maximum of 75 levels, open all camouflage and body kits. One time, when Homefront disappeared from the network Steam, was a sad issue with them (body kit) when the game is not remembered progress pumping of a weapon, and when re-entering all had to open again. Now, such is corrected with the return games on the counter trading platform.

During the battle for certain actions, depending on the mode, points are added, which can earn and redeem either the activation of one of the two aforementioned gadgets (such as a radio-controlled helicopter with missiles) or spawn in one of several types of military vehicles. The possibility pobeschinstvovat sitting in the tank or at the controls of the helicopter, provides the most resemblance to the "Battle." Yet physics technology noticeably less quality, and the technique itself is likely to have been added to the network game does not cut the eye template schemes of most multiplayer FPS. And yet, still play Homefront online Interestingly, some matches Prestressing force and apply malomalski strategy, especially on large maps. Although the interaction with the environment is not observed, the dynamic part is present fully, continuously shoot somewhere, someone starts firing a drone, captured strategic points, etc. I even regret that the number of online players today can hardly be called "the number of players online." The most that I've seen recently, this two servers, one of which is half full. Plus, a tall Ping in existing sessions also does not bring happiness.

Not Without a Reason to Forget

Homefront - nothing outstanding game, well done, well tailored, with good graphics and multiplayer honest, but still, forgotten. And this lack of attention is due to exactly those with which I began this paragraph. Developers should have understood, and understood for sure that the cream in the genre ate other major "players", and in the planned setting of Homefront is unlikely to remain something tasty. But they still tried, for what they are a lot of respect.
