Eventually your undieing soul goes numb and you just accept your fate, mindlessly emptying your mag as the only form of resistance you still have against your hellish experience of life, when eventually, after years, someone else joins the server, another living being, but you've been too far gone to even still know how to croutch to say hello Your senses, fuzed with the map, feel him coming closer, aiming at you, and for a moment you hope its all over, finally.

MAYBE a story even if small and it woulda slaughtered 2042 in sales. (at least id think so) but nope...and i bet u the reason its lacking so much content is so they can sell it back later.. like new maps or guns along with cosmetics... idk if thats 100% but i wouldn't put it passed EA to find some way to sell it back. cause i think they said there's no battle pass thing but that don't mean they cant just do DLC, ya kno?

They were too cowardly to have China as the villain, and so they settled for a freaking ridiculous enemy scenario with a serious tone that does not fit at all. Edit: You have to have worlds with some semblance of logic, for even craziest settings to exist. W40K is a good example of this, the universe is nuts, but there is believable explanations. How does NK expand? Why would ANYBODY in the occupied countries fight for them, and is China so weak they would roll over and accept being taken over? What about NATO? This could have been avoided if the game was more making fun of tropes and having fun, but the game treats it's lore deadly seriously. So we have a game that is a mediocre shooter, and with tone and lore that are at odds.
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor while being similarly shitty to Homefront actually has a very realistic enemy scenario unintentionally, I feel Homefront was just trying to cash in at the height of NK fear during the 2010's
I might be misremembering here but at the time this game came out nobody gave a fuck about China. A few years later around 2013 - 2015 is when a larger part of western companies started sucking up hard to China.
@@RedRocky54 Yes im sure mid to late 2000s fps shooter Homefront was worried about the Chinese market and not cynically using the big nad country of the time.
When energy drinks first came into creation, Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar all had an original flavor. Each one was a little bit different but they were all "energy drink" type flavors. As time went on, and energy drinks became more popular, people started making energy drinks similar to the top 3 companies and thats where "original energy drink" or "Standard energy drink" terms come from. They refer back to original energy drinks. If they do a crappy job at it, some call them generic energy drinks. Now, many years later, there are 1000's of different flavors and some companies don't even do an original flavor, like Bang and NOS. That being said, Full Throttles original flavor is a bit citrus-y, but not as citrus-y as NOS.

This is not a bad game. If you're SOLELY looking at graphics and not gameplay or plot or multiplayer or weapons or bonuses, then it's a 5/10. The graphics and campaign's length are the weakest parts of this game. The actual gameplay is fun and it introduced things like the parrot drone which COD shamelessly copied.

By any means it is a masterpiece, but a pretty underrated title noneless
Homefront: The Revolution is a hidden gem now. Yes, the launch was awful. Is the game perfect? Far from it. But it's one of the few games I know that generates the feeling of a single-player Red Dawn game. I actually really enjoyed the gameplay. Sabotaging KPA equipment, opening up ambushes with RCXDs on checkpoints and convoys, hijacking drones to fight for you; it's all just a good time. One of my guilty pleasure games for sure.
@@liubei3058: I never played at launch, so I don't know everything that was wrong with the game originally. From my personal experience, the worst bug I've ran into is that enemy patrols/encounters sometimes respawn far too rapidly. There was also a time where I was instantly detected no matter where I was on the map. These both fixed themselves after a game reset. They weren't frequent issues. I will warn you, don't buy this game for the story. It isn't great. The gameplay is worth it though. Pick it up on sale. I got it for like $5.
@@liubei3058 I only played after all the dlc were released and all the bugs I've found were really minor, not even immersion breaking, overall an pretty solid and stable experience
At least Homefront: The Revolution made a bit more sense on the "North Korea wins" idea. Granted it's because it was a fictionalized North Korea, which was basically South Korea 2, and made Apple Computer guns that were so good the States went into debt for them.
Homefront makes sense when you remember it was meant to be China, but the devs didn't wanted to make the CCP angry so they changed to the most acceptable "bad guy nation" besides Russia.
@soviet Labrador yeah it's better than the 1st one. It's set in an open world map and you basically have to conquer NK controlled areas until you take them all over. Think of it like a far cry game set during a military occupation in an American city
@@ferdinand12390 imo the sequel is what Homefront should've been in the first place. Instead of an off-brand Call of Duty campaign with a Red Dawn coat of paint, The Revolution actually encourages you to use hit-and-run tactics, evade patrols, hide away, set-up ambushes etc. Because the maps are open, and you're usually given the freedom to tackle objectives on your own without an NPC telling you when to wait and when to shoot, it feels like you have agency and autonomy unlike the first game. It's kind of a unique game in that respect, I can't think of any game I've played that really nailed the vibe of being a freedom fighter like it does. As flawed as it is.
I was only like 12 or 13, but at the peak of COD clone multiplayers, I remember actually really enjoying Homefront’s MP. Something about it just hit those dopamine receptors in my brain
Homefront is one of my favorite FPS games of all time. The Multiplayer was amazing in the day. The campaign is actually really good and the story is captivating.
You are absolutely right! The multiplayer is one of my top three favorite multiplayer shooting games of all time this dude talking about it. It doesn't know what he's talking about
Last year my friend gave me like $75 to finish both this one and revolution. I finished them both after like a month... Then I found it Homefront the Revolution had extra missions... I never told him about em and took the $75
I remember seeing a video where the Homefront team was talking about how this would be a desperate struggle and how player friendly npc's were limited. While playing as a kid in some missions even I saw this was bullshit with infinite spawning allies
I find it weirdly satisfying that someone is covering a bunch of early to mid 2000s 360/ps3 FPS games which were bad to mediocre at best. Sometimes there would be something interesting, but mostly forgettable. The "AA" game is effectively dead though. Kind of a shame really...
7:45 Imagine sitting for 12 years shooting in Homefront, waiting to get the last kill, and then getting sniped by some noob who only came to do a negative review.
This game is what every military surplus militia dudebro likes to imagine themselves doing while at airsoft. The kind that think being special forces is shouting random phrases from call of duty.
When this game first came out I found out the pro gamermove was to use the spotting drone to tag enemies in tdm until you got enough points to use the attack chopper points streak And then absolutely demolish
I loved this game and its multiplayer when it released, but I was also 12. Deep down I knew it was pretty shit but it still had some sort of charm to me. I always loved Frontlines too but I still think that game was underrated. I'd play it now if the multiplayer was actually active. Frontlines didn't have White Castle though. Idk why White Castle is the one thing that stuck in my head from Homefront. The Halo Reach beta was also related to White Castle in my mind just because I was constantly eating frozen White Castle burgers.
Ah homefront, I got tricked into buying this game on launch. I just checked my steam and I made it 37 minutes before uninstalling it and wishing I could have gotten a refund.
Very happy he featured me on his channel!!! It was more of a guest appearance than a collab but Im not complaining! Maybe someday we could do a collab with some questions and answers or something a little more than this. We'll see!
I had a lot of fun back in the day playing this. There arent many games featuring the USA getting taken over (i think its an interesting concept) so I'm happy with what we got so far (and yes i played the hell out of Freedom Fighters too when i was younger)
@@yaoiboi60 If you think that the US and companies here making games and media weren't sucking up to the CCP by then, you weren't paying attention. Go back and look at the movies and games around that time; all of them will not point the finger at China. Movies had to have at least one Chinese state-approved actor in them....it's gotten more obvious since, but it was already well underway at that point.
when this game was populated and multi-player was full 64 player lobbies, it was the best multi-player game I have ever played. only mistake the devs made was there was no defensive counter for the air burst grenade launcher. it was a one hit kill even if you had flak jacket equipped. also, it had dedicated servers.
i actually loved this game when it came it. it was a fresh new fps with a interesting take on America being invaded. plus the multiplayer was a ton of fun.
I honestly Remember the multiplayer of this game being fun. Like a hybrid of CoD and Battlefield. Yuu can tell the game was designed for its mp and then they were like I guess we need a campaign too.
Shoes on power lines were used to mark territory for gangs most of the time, but with gangs comes drug selling so basically the same thing. Was a message for rival gangs of what territory you were crossing into and also druggies to know you were entering possible gang drug sales.
I wish this game was better, I really liked the concept. Funny how they changed China to North Korea as the antagonists. I mean, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat & Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising had China as enemies.
Note that BF 2: MC had a Chinese campaign. Can't think of many games now that let you play as the antagonists. That may have given them a little slack.
"Reading is learning!" Me: I'm reading the number of zeros on my defense spending budget. I'm learning I can export a lot of freedom in any general direction!
When I played this game for the first time I thought it was an interesting idea, a game which you fight a modern war in the US, but the more I played I saw how outlandish the plot was, even tough they tried their very best to write some explanation and some ppl say it should be China, but think a bit, if the US was f* up in that way, why the hell anyone would invade? Is just stupid, be it China, Russia, NK or a South American Federation, the worst they would do would be blockades, maybe arms deals with paramilitary and insurgents inside the US, but invasion and occupation? Would be stupid, mostly because even in the best case scenario, neither of those countries would act like the US itself, mostly because they wouldn't direct most of their budget to their military to sustain a occupation force, even the US itself is becoming incapable of it, the struggles would be internal, or with PMCs, maybe some border and naval skirmishes, but never a full on invasion, too costly for pretty much no gain, they could've do it like FC2 in the US, would make way more sense...
I remember around the release of black ops 1 I was at the midnight launch waiting to pick up the game and a group of women came over in red Homefront hoodies came handing out flyers for this game no one knew about and they kept telling all of us that their game was the next cod killer.
Suck? I would call it average and anything more, really, how bad taste some people have here because some game don't copy at all the same success formula when some studio just want to make an arcade shooter.
This game is literally what every teenager imagines himself doing. Liberating their city from an invading force. And if that’s not you you.. you probably wear knee high socks and use tiktok
I remember when this game came out when I was a kid, seeing the posters in Walmart. It looked amazing, hoped I could play it one day. Now that I'm an adult and have seen the gameplay: nevermind, I'm good.
Weirdly, this was a hella popular game on OnLive back in the day, the multiplayer at least. Kind of wish something like OnLive was still around, the Homefront MP was populaed at all hours so you'd always find a match and the battle points system was actually genuinely goodd. It's just a shame they never put a campaign in Homefront, I wonder how good it'd have been
you're the first person i've ever seen reference onlive i genuinely thought it was a wild fever dream i had but the memories of playing homefront on it are still so vivid and great wether it was sniping with the cheytech m2000 or abusing the ridiculous dlc 870 death cannon. i also remember how fun the scorestreaks were to use.
I remember this your 500+ steam games series, white castle and full throttle is truly the most patriotic food combination on the planet, god bless America.

From my personal experience, the worst bug I've ran into is that enemy patrols/encounters sometimes respawn far too rapidly. There was also a time where I was instantly detected no matter where I was on the map. These both fixed themselves after a game reset. They weren't frequent issues. I will warn you, don't buy this game for the story. It isn't great. The gameplay is worth it though. Pick it up on sale. I got it for like $5.
@@liubei3058 I only played after all the dlc were released and all the bugs I've found were really minor, not even immersion breaking, overall an pretty solid and stable experience
Homefront one was way better than the second one you're talking about
“You’re under arrest for playing Homefront. You have the right to remain violent.”
Got me 😂
At least Homefront: The Revolution made a bit more sense on the "North Korea wins" idea. Granted it's because it was a fictionalized North Korea, which was basically South Korea 2, and made Apple Computer guns that were so good the States went into debt for them.
Homefront makes sense when you remember it was meant to be China, but the devs didn't wanted to make the CCP angry so they changed to the most acceptable "bad guy nation" besides Russia.
@@Noperare
Bad guy nation that makes literally no sense on how they invaded and won.
the best part of this game was that preordering it gave you a tf2 hat
As a fan of the second game this game has a lot of potential if done right I really enjoyed the story but not the characters
is the second one worth buying? genuine question i kinda want to try it
@soviet Labrador yeah it's better than the 1st one. It's set in an open world map and you basically have to conquer NK controlled areas until you take them all over. Think of it like a far cry game set during a military occupation in an American city
@@Gameprojordan i'll check the demo, thanks dude
@@ferdinand12390 it's like far cry but buy the dlcs they are okay the last one is really good
@@ferdinand12390 imo the sequel is what Homefront should've been in the first place. Instead of an off-brand Call of Duty campaign with a Red Dawn coat of paint, The Revolution actually encourages you to use hit-and-run tactics, evade patrols, hide away, set-up ambushes etc. Because the maps are open, and you're usually given the freedom to tackle objectives on your own without an NPC telling you when to wait and when to shoot, it feels like you have agency and autonomy unlike the first game. It's kind of a unique game in that respect, I can't think of any game I've played that really nailed the vibe of being a freedom fighter like it does. As flawed as it is.
I was only like 12 or 13, but at the peak of COD clone multiplayers, I remember actually really enjoying Homefront’s MP. Something about it just hit those dopamine receptors in my brain
people who didn't play the multiplayer back when it was alive don't know what they're talking about. This multiplayer is in my top three all time
Homefront is one of my favorite FPS games of all time. The Multiplayer was amazing in the day. The campaign is actually really good and the story is captivating.
hahahaha
Yes it is
You are absolutely right! The multiplayer is one of my top three favorite multiplayer shooting games of all time this dude talking about it. It doesn't know what he's talking about
I love the suppressor just glued to the front of a standard flash hider. Ah, the 2000s...
Last year my friend gave me like $75 to finish both this one and revolution. I finished them both after like a month... Then I found it Homefront the Revolution had extra missions... I never told him about em and took the $75
*Same*
Gasden Gaming was a stellar joke and its only a minute in lol
I remember seeing a video where the Homefront team was talking about how this would be a desperate struggle and how player friendly npc's were limited. While playing as a kid in some missions even I saw this was bullshit with infinite spawning allies
One of the dudes in the campaign sounds exactly like an adult from South Park, I can't deal with it.
I find it weirdly satisfying that someone is covering a bunch of early to mid 2000s 360/ps3 FPS games which were bad to mediocre at best. Sometimes there would be something interesting, but mostly forgettable. The "AA" game is effectively dead though. Kind of a shame really...
I remember when people thought this was going to be a sequel to Frontlines Fuel of War
This game was in development hell for so long it's astonishing it was ever released.
Archer really does put it best:
"Relax, it's North Korea. The nation-state equivalent of the short bus."
7:45 Imagine sitting for 12 years shooting in Homefront, waiting to get the last kill, and then getting sniped by some noob who only came to do a negative review.
I remember being sick as fuck home from class and begging my dad to pick this up for me then being INCREDIBLY disappointed
Homefront is so #DEEP, DID YOU SEE THAT INTRO! SO MUCH PROPAGANDA TO UNPACK!??!?!?!!!?!?!??!KEFJHAFLJKASHDJKHDASJDSA
Wow oboe is amazing at homefront multiplayer, he should join Seoul Dynasty or something
This game is what every military surplus militia dudebro likes to imagine themselves doing while at airsoft. The kind that think being special forces is shouting random phrases from call of duty.
They went from somehow making an even more American CoD to making an even more American Far Cry.
When this game first came out I found out the pro gamermove was to use the spotting drone to tag enemies in tdm until you got enough points to use the attack chopper points streak
And then absolutely demolish
financial systems collapsed and theres a massive bird flu going around the southwest.. it is 2022
It’s funny how you said “wins somehow”
It’s not a guarantee that America will win every battle they face
NO WAY! The Caffeine Man cameo 😮
Hello hello!!!
Hope you liked the surprise cameo! And a big thank you to Oboeshoes for having me in his video!
"Roach... put on the orange booty shorts" caught me 💀
I remember I got this day one and I tried the multiplayer, and it took 10 mins to find a match
The multiplayer slapped tho
Yeah for people that had their hand held the entire match. When you spawned you could see enemy and friendly gamer tag all across the map.
I loved this game and its multiplayer when it released, but I was also 12. Deep down I knew it was pretty shit but it still had some sort of charm to me. I always loved Frontlines too but I still think that game was underrated. I'd play it now if the multiplayer was actually active.
Frontlines didn't have White Castle though. Idk why White Castle is the one thing that stuck in my head from Homefront. The Halo Reach beta was also related to White Castle in my mind just because I was constantly eating frozen White Castle burgers.
Don't forget the million named energy drink machines and the hooters lol
3:18 "very unhealthy drinks" astute observation from a man with a wall of unhealthy drinks behind him
This game made my brain smooth
This is the greatest white castle, hooters, nos, and full throttle ad ever
Ah homefront, I got tricked into buying this game on launch. I just checked my steam and I made it 37 minutes before uninstalling it and wishing I could have gotten a refund.
Just subbed. Best of yours I’ve seen so far lmao.
We’re not claiming any victories here
Finally the collab we were all waiting for oboe and caffeine man
Very happy he featured me on his channel!!! It was more of a guest appearance than a collab but Im not complaining! Maybe someday we could do a collab with some questions and answers or something a little more than this. We'll see!
@@CaffeineMan1 i hope so!
@@CaffeineMan1 well it earned you a sub!
@@R3AL-AIM Nice!!! Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
idc what people think about homefront i will always love the childhood vibes it gives me
The CaffeineMan cameo was legendary
Very honored Oboeshoes was kind enough to share me with his audience!!!
I had a lot of fun back in the day playing this. There arent many games featuring the USA getting taken over (i think its an interesting concept) so I'm happy with what we got so far (and yes i played the hell out of Freedom Fighters too when i was younger)
It's one of those games where 'oh we can't show the prc as the enemies! Think of the CHINESE MARKET!' like ffs.
It absolutely is not it was made in the mid late 2000s come on man.
@@yaoiboi60 If you think that the US and companies here making games and media weren't sucking up to the CCP by then, you weren't paying attention. Go back and look at the movies and games around that time; all of them will not point the finger at China. Movies had to have at least one Chinese state-approved actor in them....it's gotten more obvious since, but it was already well underway at that point.
when this game was populated and multi-player was full 64 player lobbies, it was the best multi-player game I have ever played. only mistake the devs made was there was no defensive counter for the air burst grenade launcher. it was a one hit kill even if you had flak jacket equipped. also, it had dedicated servers.
I thought that Caffeine Man clip was just from one of his vids. Nice to see that you actually did a little collab
The biggest jump in logic in this game is that North Korea would ever win a war against any militarized country
i actually loved this game when it came it. it was a fresh new fps with a interesting take on America being invaded. plus the multiplayer was a ton of fun.
I honestly Remember the multiplayer of this game being fun. Like a hybrid of CoD and Battlefield. Yuu can tell the game was designed for its mp and then they were like I guess we need a campaign too.
Woah sudden caffeineman
HELLO!!!
Shoes on power lines were used to mark territory for gangs most of the time, but with gangs comes drug selling so basically the same thing. Was a message for rival gangs of what territory you were crossing into and also druggies to know you were entering possible gang drug sales.
I wish this game was better, I really liked the concept. Funny how they changed China to North Korea as the antagonists. I mean, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat & Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising had China as enemies.
DICE and Bohemia are big companies that can survive not selling to China. A small studio about to run out of money can't make that choice
Note that BF 2: MC had a Chinese campaign. Can't think of many games now that let you play as the antagonists. That may have given them a little slack.
"Reading is learning!"
Me: I'm reading the number of zeros on my defense spending budget. I'm learning I can export a lot of freedom in any general direction!
When I played this game for the first time I thought it was an interesting idea, a game which you fight a modern war in the US, but the more I played I saw how outlandish the plot was, even tough they tried their very best to write some explanation and some ppl say it should be China, but think a bit, if the US was f* up in that way, why the hell anyone would invade? Is just stupid, be it China, Russia, NK or a South American Federation, the worst they would do would be blockades, maybe arms deals with paramilitary and insurgents inside the US, but invasion and occupation? Would be stupid, mostly because even in the best case scenario, neither of those countries would act like the US itself, mostly because they wouldn't direct most of their budget to their military to sustain a occupation force, even the US itself is becoming incapable of it, the struggles would be internal, or with PMCs, maybe some border and naval skirmishes, but never a full on invasion, too costly for pretty much no gain, they could've do it like FC2 in the US, would make way more sense...
I remember around the release of black ops 1 I was at the midnight launch waiting to pick up the game and a group of women came over in red Homefront hoodies came handing out flyers for this game no one knew about and they kept telling all of us that their game was the next cod killer.
Man I remember this game, it sucked. Then the sequel came out and I had a new appreciation for it...
“Two guys hanging from the power line? That means they sell drugs here” 😂😂😂
"Do you care enough about the golden gate Bridge to die for it?; I mean its a nice landmark." 😂😂 single handedly the funniest thing you've ever said
I remember playing the Homefront Multiplayer Demo. Multiplayer was actually pretty great and sort of a hybrid between CoD and Battlefield.
You gotta do the sequel next, it's even both better and worse than the original.
I was hoping that someone would mention that this game somehow got a sequel.
I genuinelly like the sequel and also think it is a great game, apart from the story of course. What really sold the 2nd one for me was the atmosphere
Just worse
The second time I played it, I was shocked how linear it is and how much it takes the player by the hand.
Dude you're literally 11 years to late to hate on this game. This is a masterpiece.
That white castle ad placement probably made back the money that was pumped into this game all by itself
I've never had a white castle in my life i heard it's made of rats meat
Suck? I would call it average and anything more, really, how bad taste some people have here because some game don't copy at all the same success formula when some studio just want to make an arcade shooter.
This game multiplayer was so fun
back in the day! and was crazy! has alot of fun moments
This game is literally what every teenager imagines himself doing. Liberating their city from an invading force. And if that’s not you you.. you probably wear knee high socks and use tiktok
I remember when this game came out when I was a kid, seeing the posters in Walmart. It looked amazing, hoped I could play it one day.
Now that I'm an adult and have seen the gameplay: nevermind, I'm good.
I'm just going to say this: if you think MW2 is a good game, you can't say ANYTHING bad about Homefront (which is terrible)
Weirdly, this was a hella popular game on OnLive back in the day, the multiplayer at least.
Kind of wish something like OnLive was still around, the Homefront MP was populaed at all hours so you'd always find a match and the battle points system was actually genuinely goodd.
It's just a shame they never put a campaign in Homefront, I wonder how good it'd have been
you're the first person i've ever seen reference onlive i genuinely thought it was a wild fever dream i had but the memories of playing homefront on it are still so vivid and great wether it was sniping with the cheytech m2000 or abusing the ridiculous dlc 870 death cannon. i also remember how fun the scorestreaks were to use.
America is not untouchable bro lol and comparing it to call of duty is unfair the game is actually pretty good
Came for homefront, stayed for caffeine man.
A true patriot
This video is actually pretty good if you turn the sound off
What the sigma ah voice
I remember this your 500+ steam games series, white castle and full throttle is truly the most patriotic food combination on the planet, god bless America.
I always thought this game was from around 2006 or something. Turns out it was released in 2011.
Dont you do my homefront dirty, de-subbed,
but subbed again.
I played this multiplayer to death in middle school, it was a lot of fun. Basically COD in battlefield sized maps
