Скачать или смотреть Homefront (2011) PC Game | First Play

Homefront is a first-person shooter video game developed by Kaos Studios and published by THQ. The game follows a resistance movement in the near-future fighting against a Korean occupation of the Western United States. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March 2011.

Homefront received mixed reviews. The single-player campaign's short length was criticised, while the atmosphere and story divided critics. The game's multiplayer in contrast was generally well received. Following THQ's bankruptcy, the rights of the game were sold to Crytek and later Koch Media after restructuring their company. A reboot, Homefront: The Revolution, was released by Deep Silver in 2016.
Gameplay
Single-player

The single-player campaign takes 4 to 10 hours to finish the game, all depending on the player's experience.[3]
Multiplayer

The multiplayer component of Homefront is focused on large-scale, vehicle-based combat reminiscent of Kaos Studios' first title, Frontlines: Fuel of War. The defining innovation of Homefront's multiplayer is its battle points system, which is an in-game currency that allows a player to purchase weapons, gear, and vehicles. Players can earn points by completing objectives and increasing their number of kills, which they can spend on weapons, missiles, and drones or larger, higher-cost items like helicopters and tanks.

The multiplayer gameplay takes place in the period before the United States Armed Forces were completely scattered. Each copy of Homefront contains an online pass, granting users access to the full multiplayer experience. Although the online pass is not required to play multiplayer, those who play without an online pass will be unable to progress further than level 5 of the total 75 levels.[4]

The online multiplayer servers were shut down on the console versions following the sale and closure of THQ in late 2013. However, there are some third-party servers still available (as of 2017) on PC.[citation needed]
Plot
Setting and backstory

Homefront is set in a near future dystopic United States in 2027. The game's backstory dates back to the 2010s, where tensions are high between North Korea and the global powers due to the country's military aggression, including its successful nuclear weapons test and the sinking of a South Korean ship.[5]

However, in 2013, one year after the death of North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il, his son and successor, Kim Jong Un, successfully led a peaceful reunification with South Korea leading to the birth of the Greater Korean Republic (GKR), a technological and economic global power that comprises the military strength of the North and the economic power of the South. In 2015, a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia broke out, both becoming nuclear-armed states, devastated the global oil supply, causing gas prices to skyrocket to $19.99 per gallon,[5] leaving many countries in debt and causing mass hysteria. This precipitates extreme economic turmoil and massive social unrest in the United States. Two years later, the U.S. military recalled much of its Pacific fleet. Japan, significantly weakened due to the diminishing of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, was easily conquered by the GKR a year later and annexed shortly thereafter, becoming the first GKR-occupied state.[5]

In 2022, conditions in the United States worsened with the collapse of the financial system and an Asian bird flu epidemic that claimed six million lives; forcing the Mexican government to close their northern border. By 2024, North Korea's annexation has continued throughout Southeast Asia, including its emerging economic powers, giving the GKR an empire reminiscent of Imperial Japan's Co-Prosperity Sphere.[5] Finally, in 2025, the Greater Korean Republic, now a major superpower, launched a supposed advanced satellite that would be a signal of peace, but is actually a secret orbital weapon that detonated a high-altitude nuclear device over the U.S., creating an electromagnetic pulse blast that wipes out much of the nation's electrical infrastructure, including parts of Canada and Mexico. In the ensuing chaos, the Korean People's Army (KPA) launches a massive amphibious invasion, starting the Korean-American War. They seize control of Hawaii and much of the U.S. Pacific Coast. Korean paratroopers are deployed over the Midwestern United States, and with the U.S. military severely crippled and scattered, launch a final offensive to take control of the remaining states. However, the Americans were able to counterattack, leaving the Eastern States free but effectively dividing the nation at the irradiated Mississippi River, with the Western States under GKR occupation, known as the New Korean Federation of Occupied America, a puppet state of the GKR.
