THQ announced today as part of their financial call that Homefront has shipped 2.6 millions to date, most of which went out during the fourth quarter. They attributed Homefront's success to being a "quality game", a highly successful marketing campaign, and its competitive multiplayer.
According to THQ, Homefront was also rated the number one game on Xbox 360 and the number three game on the PlayStation 3 in March. They acknowledged the criticism of the game's short single player, but combatted the comments saying that tens of thousands of players are still playing multiplayer daily.
THQ also mentioned that they plan to release a 32-player multiplayer demo for Homefront as well as DLC over the next six months. What's interesting about the news is how THQ's ideals have switched when it comes to Homefront.
At first, they put heavy marketing in to the single player campaign and now, to draw more people in, they're releasing a multiplayer demo. This type of marketing strategy hasn't really been seen before, so it will be neat to see how THQ's efforts pay off.

I thought Homefront was a great concept. The graphics werent as good as they could of been but the storyline, IMO, made up for that. I am one of those players that have more fun playing single player rather than multiplayer. I like to be in charge of my own gameing experience.
These FPS games like Homefront, COD, Medal of Honor so on and so on, have gotten away from making the single player happy. I dont care if it becomes monotonous. As long as the storyline is good. I thought with the graphics and the use of CAGS in Medal of Honor, made it a great game. You had one Special Forces Unit, CAGS, looking out for their Nave SEALs counterpart. It was great, but once again, too short.
So developers, if you read this, please extend the single player games to last, or at least put out some DLC to make the game longer.

Wow you guys are haters do u even have the game? It is a good game it's not perfect no the single player was a little short yes. But it wasw a good game regardless the multiplayer is alot of fun, and i have had no problems with lag or being kicked like some of you say. The graphics were not dated all i can ask is if you played it in HD. Because the graphics are pretty average for a game now a days not super but adequate. The maps are designed really well there was a great attention to detail to make it look like a destroyed U.S. It is a good game and if you go into it with no preconceptions you will enjoy it.

This game was garbage. The SP was 3 hours long? WTH? Games now-a-days are just garbage CoD knock-offs. What happened to originality? Its gone.... no where to be found.
Games that once had a great concept(Socom.... etc.) have chosen to go into the realm of CoD and it completely ruined the game for people that loved the series.
Activision and CoD have indirectly ruined games and gamers. Modern gaming should have evolved with the invention of better hardware but instead has de-evolved games into pure stupidity.
I'm getting to the point where I refuse to buy games anymore. Guess it sucks to be me!

the hype for this was so over rated! i've been playing fps games ever since i can remember and everytime a new fps game comes out it tends to be better than the older games.. but this is like THQ thought they were the first to make an fps... my god the clunky controls, clumsy environment and the graphics was really dated.. i mean come on guys.. was i the only one who noticed these flaws? after finishing the game (complaining from chapter 1 to the last) i ejected the disc and literally took a hammer and pounded this crap.. i couldn't bare to return it or sell it.. i was thinking of the poor soul who would be duped of buying it again

Good for them, I hope they make another. But with much longer SP and an even better MP.

They may have sold 2.6 Million units, but 2.5 Million were returned. God this game was so well hyped and was a Major let down.. GARBAGE.. I wont ever buy part 2

I'd love to get it. But I already have Battlefield 3, Resistance 2, Infamous 2, Uncharted 3, and Arkham City on my plate.

This wouldn't be funny if Homefront was even a little enjoyable.

I can't believe I got suckered in, I followed that game for a while and was so disapointed. There needs to be a class action lawsuit against THQ in which I want $40.00 back, cause that was a $20.00 game.

Quality game I had to laugh at that one. Since launch Homefront had nothing but problems from the start. Lagging, being kicked off, stats being reset to zero, and freezing. Over a month and Xbox 360 still hasn't received an update to fix the bugs already in the game. Don't get me wrong I love playing this game when the game plays right but this game offered a lot of hype and delivered short. I see this as a learning experience for THQ on not what to do.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about Homefront. I'll wait 'til their multiplayer demo comes out and most likely a price drop until I end up purchasing this game. I don't know why THQ is going to release a demo so long after the game's release, but whatever. I guess MAG had the same idea, I don't know how well that actually works in getting new gamers to buy the game though.

I wish i had the Money to Buy it. :(

Kind of wish they'd had put out a demo *before* the game came out. Then I would have known to cancel my pre-order. This game is garbage.

"They attributed Homefront's success to being a "quality game"
Either this is word-for-word or these are massive sarcasm quotes

I had second thoughts about getting this game, but now it looks more appealing! :D
