| Cheap ass developper.....like they didn't know. It feels like playing a beta version of the game. I've had this game for a week and I haven't played a single decent game. |

Didn't start with multiplayer until day 2 as I was knocking out every single singleplayer achievement. Only real troubles I (had) was being unable to connect to Ground Control and being dropped once I got into a game. But since then I haven't seen many issues aside from some terrible lag in games, which I'm sure is due to server flooding.
....Still hate them for putting team achievements in....that are bugged like the 16 player party one. |

| If I can actually connect to a game I'll usually get dropped soon after, it's impossible to play with a party and all stay together people always get kicked. Also it completely freezes the system sometimes after a match and a hard reset is required.... that's some BS. |

dancrozier said:Wish developers would test more before releasing, it's why I rarely buy a game on release as so many come out with problems that need fixingYou should read a little bit more. It's clearly stated that they anticipated a lower number of purchases than what really took place. With that in mind, they didn't expect to need as many servers as they now do.
As for the glitches and bugs, name me one multiplayer game that hasn't had some sort of issue on it's release? Go ahead, you won't find any. Every game has had some sort of bug with it. Our programs are so advanced and people play them in so many different ways, it's impossible to create something 'perfect'. At least they're rectifying the issues as fast as they can. Far faster than some other big name releases. |

Far faster than some other big name releases.You should read what dancrozier said a little bit more. He just wishes more developers would take the time to test. Anymore, there's a patch within the first month of a game's release to address "issues" anymore. Fallout New Vegas comes to mind right off the bat. I personally agree with dan. I never buy a game on the first day and this is just one reason why.
And I wouldn't want to buy a game anyways, if the developers themselves say "anticipated a lower number of purchases". This is just a cop out. They've been plugging this game for quite some time with all their developer diaries.
Bottom line, good game developers anticipate high numbers. |

I've been playing almost nothing but the multiplayer since I got it and I've quite thoroughly enjoyed it ( I liked Frontlines, too. So no surprise there ). The only problems I've encountered so far were the issues connecting to matches and a little bit of lag. And by "little bit of lag," I mean an impressively small amount, considering it was in the 32-person matches. I think they've done a great job with this game, and I've found it far more enjoyable and non-rage-inducing than Call of Duty. I'd say it's more enjoyable than Halo, but that's just because I suck at Halo  |

xOBKx said:After the problems with Frontlines, I'm really not surprised.!Frontlines pushed the MP line way to far with how many players could be in a game, they attempted to set up servers that could house games that only a PC based shooter would be able to handle (for the time)
Homefront is not the same case, while yes it can house a lot of players on one map it is no where near as bad as Frontline's server lag. Even though I myself didn't have a huge issue with Frontline lag either. I don't believe the lag is coming from shitty server hosting, I simply believe it comes down to server flooding. Once more servers go up, the flood will go down thus resulting in better connections.
Honestly the biggest issue with Homefront is simply party play, and they know this because everyone is whining about it within 4 days of release...just like players did with every CoD that came out, even Halo Reach had some minor party connection issues on launch.
Gamers expect perfection these days, and if you expect a perfect launch on a new MP game everytime one comes out, you will be upset everytime one comes out.

This sort of glitch i find un acceptable. All the other problems i dont mind as like you said it is to be expected but for some of us not even able to play the single player is not on.
It's a shame really because i was actually really enjoying this game as the story is exellent.
Here's hoping this is sorted very soon. |

| So with all the money from all of these extra, unanticipated sales, why don't they purchase more/better servers? |

| I don't mean to be a dick to anyone who bought this game, but BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! This is why games need to have an open beta. There is absolutely no excuse for not having enough servers to handle multiplayer gaming. Unless they planned for their game to bomb, they should have over estimated how many gamers there would be. |
