bleeap Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) THQ and Kaos Studios have been completely taken by surprise as to how fast Homefront has sold since release. With such rapid sales of the game, its servers just couldn't handle the huge demand for multiplayer carnage! It was announced last week that besides extra servers being put to work, a patch was also in the works to hopefully resolve some of the other known issues relating to the online mulitplayer side of the game. The incoming title update will address Profile Corruption (a.k.a. the 'Freeze' bug), Leaderboard, Matchmaking and Stats issues. Here are the details: Update 1: Xbox 360 Critical Title Update - Scheduled for Microsoft Submission in the next day or two - Fixing the Xbox Live Profile Corruption ‘Freeze’ Issue - Fix for players being matched in distant server locations HAS BEEN RELEASED!!! Update 2: Additional Game Issues Fixes - Xbox 360 will submit as soon as Update 1 is released live. - Fixes include: - Multiplayer Freezing (affecting X360 & PS3) - Experience and Statistics Resets (affecting X360 & PS3) - Improving Party Matchmaking & Joining with Friends (affecting X360 & PS3) - Fixing the Beacon Error (affecting X360 only) - Correcting inconsistent Leaderboards data (affecting X360 & PS3) The update will be submitted to Microsoft within "the next day or two", so hopefully the patch will be available very shortly. http://www.trueachievements.com/n3349/homefront-patch-details.htm This is the site I got it from...

Romefalls86 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Maybe for update 3 - HARDCORE MODES! I don't know about you guys, but I am sick of pumping a half clip into someone only to have them turn around and pop me once. It's the only type of mode I want that COD has.

There are a few things I'd like to see in the MP that other games have. I just started online(level 14) and I really don't see how I should be competing against level 65s and up. No shit my SCAR isn't tearing them up ha ha but I still like it, not nearly as much camping as in COD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13ip0lar Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) they are going to be completly taken by surprise by the mass exodus from this game if they don't fix it quick. Too true. I'm on my way back to BFBC2 after hearing some friends having an awesome time last night. Rather play something I was good at and has rarely any problems, than something I get raped by level 75's in. Atm I'm lvl 45, I believe? Have a 2.4 ratio, and enjoy sniping, but that isn't enough to keep me going. I don't think I'll even go for the level 50 achievement. Maybe... Plus I realize if I keep playing how long before I get tired of GC & GC BC. That's all I play, TDM in these type of games are somewhat boring. I played it from time to time in BFBC2, but that was more to do weapon challenges/level/ out of boredom than anything else. Anyways, see you all in another life Edited March 23, 2011 by 13ip0lar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripleb2k Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've been getting that beacon error a lot the past 2-3 days. I just want my level 50 and vechile expert achievements already!!!... than it's back to gamestop for this broken game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeuup Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 too late. the damage has been done. i was not going to wait an indefinite amount of time until they fixed a bug that would allow me to get past the loading screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaolinShadow Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 im officially not touching this game till the update comes through, All I get is BEACON,BEACON,BEACON, I am enjoying crysis 2 at the moment, I would of been enjoying homefront more but due to servers and BEACON:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuppernicus Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Maybe for update 3 - HARDCORE MODES! I don't know about you guys, but I am sick of pumping a half clip into someone only to have them turn around and pop me once. It's the only type of mode I want that COD has. I'm not sure a hardcore mode is needed. There's nothing hardcore about pray and spray, no aim, hiding in a corner waitting for some fool to walk by gaming in my opinion. I haven't experienced a hole lot of the "hit detection" lag issues people have been experiencing. Guess I'm lucky. One good thing about "hardcore" modes is they usually attract the types of gamers I don't want to play against nor have on my team. To each their own I guess.

Dr Illmatik Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I like homefront it not a bad game and new modes would be cool, but I wished they fix it so friends can team up, I so sick of the lagging out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you guys, but I am sick of pumping a half clip into someone only to have them turn around and pop me once. It's the only type of mode I want that COD has. I agree with others. Hardcore mode is not needed in this game, mainly due to the size of the maps. I guarantee you will all rage when people start sniping. One shot kill from across the map. At least now, you can take cover, regenerate your health, sprint to the next cover, etc. With hardcore, forget about it. In addition, you will see a ton more campers as everyone tries to rack up battlepoints to call in their slots or vehicles. I played hardcore in CoD4, MW2, and BFBC2, and it was fine in those games (except when there are too many snipers in BFBC2). I despise hardcore in CoD:BO due to stupid hit detection. I think Battle Commander is the equivalent of hardcore mode in this game. You do too good, and the AI calls you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this size lobby you cannot afford to have 20 different playlists, or it will take forever to fill a lobby and find a match. Just something to keep in mind.

With this size lobby you cannot afford to have 20 different playlists, or it will take forever to fill a lobby and find a match. Just something to keep in mind. That's why they should make gametypes that take less than 32 people. Not all maps even ALLOW 32 people. Some only allow 16. There's lots of possibilities, don't shoot them all down yet.

There's lots of possibilities, don't shoot them all down yet. agree and disagree. I love the idea of having smaller playlists (12-16) people, and I do agree some maps are better for a smaller playlist. THe problem is I dont think there are enough of these smaller maps. Essentially you would be playing the same 2-3 small maps over and over again. If there were 2-3 more small maps, then I would absotely agree with you, and I would also love to more 12-16 person playlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
