Where the game finds its feet is in the multiplayer - technological shortcomings in the rendering tech are not quite so important when we have ideas that are fresh and original backed up by the infrastructure necessary to make the online experience a bigger and busier place to be compared to the competition (though for PS3 owners, MAG remains the most massively multiplayer FPS around). Multiplayer is also where Xbox 360 can claim extra credit: it has an extra map and first dibs on the DLC.
In conclusion, as clichéd as it might sound, Homefront is very much a game of two halves - just as much, if not more so, than Medal of Honor. If you own both HD consoles and you're wondering which SKU to invest in, it's fair to say that online is the deciding factor, and so the make-up of your respective friends lists is probably of far more importance than the technical issues we've highlighted here.

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.
Thank you soo much!! :) I was waiting for this :D
So... foliage looks crap.
So they install the entire game on 360 to try to help its performance and it still stinks.
I think I'll go write an article about how the game needs a full install and still stinks performance wise.
I'll put my full install article up along side all the articles complaining about installs on PS3.
Another thing, maybe it's me, but I got the feeling that the people in charge of this comparison really didn't want to come out and say they preferred the PS3 even though at times what they were saying did.
You get the feeling almost like it would hurt them if they came out and said it.
Very strange.
It's like they want to sway the decision towards the end by saying the most important thing isn't even the performance, it's the multiplayer and because the 360 has a deal in place they sort of win.
But it's a performance comparison, and once you eliminate that what's the point of this article all together?
can i say"both shit"?
but well,MP play is fun
Both version have serious issues. Plus the sub HD graphics dont help one bit.
