Homefront Online

Homefront Online is an online MMOFPS developed by Dambuster Studios.

Overview
Homefront Online is a typical, online MMOFPS shooter based from CrossFire, Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies, F.E.A.R. Online, and Call of Duty Online. The game's setting takes place within the first Homefront game and it's novel, The Voice of Freedom. The game is made using Unreal Engine 4 and utilizes Epic Games' Chaos destruction engine, allowing maximum detail to be added to the game such as knocking down trees, spreading fire, and damage to surfaces using weapons. It will also use Easy Anti-Cheat for anti-cheating measures, also a version where mods can be used.

Homefront Online 's story takes place shortly before and during the events of the original Homefront game. The player takes control of a Resistance fighter who is none other than the player's own avatar. There are also bonus missions that the player can play. These levels serve to expand the Homefront universe further based on elements found in the in-game newspapers based on the original Homefront game and its novel or might be recycled concepts from the Homefront 2 prototype that did not make it into Homefront: The Revolution, or just non-canon concepts.

Instant action missions make a first appearance in the game, similar to F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. Files on the Xbox 360. These missions test the player's reflexes and reactions in various settings. Based on the player's performance, the game ranks the player and might give them rewards based from that rank.

Homefront Online 's arsenal and vehicles are the same, except that they may recieve a overhaul to their specs and design, with the addition of new arrivals. In the original Homefront game, gunplay is somewhat unbalanced in multiplayer.

Story
The protagonist is a recruit of a Resistance cell near Montrose, Colorado who was captured by the KPA during a scavenging mission. They are thrown in a KPA Labor Camp. Fortunately, the protagonist gets assistance from a few Resistance members who outline the flaws of the KPA's infrastructures in and around the camp.

As they escape the camp, the KPA realized their escape and took swift action to pursue the Resistance members through the suburban sprawl. They sent KPA troops, followed by armor and finally a Goliath in which a shadowy figure managed to compromise using a hacking tool. Exhausted by the battle, the figure and the other Resistance members take the protagonist in to safety.

The protagonist wakes up after being unconscious from the exhaustion of the battle. They wake up and see a Resistance commander whose name is Geoff. Geoff has a hard stance against the KPA after being tortured in one of their camps, and he sees potential in the protagonist that they can be the Resistance's only hope that they can liberate America. Then, another Resistance member enters the room Geoff and the Protagonist are in and Geoff explains to her about the protagonist and their actions. Her name is revealed to by Kathy, a Resistance medic who formerly served the KPA in America and later defected to join the Resistance.

Surprised by the protagonist's survival during the firefight, they give the protagonist an assignment: To gain intel on KPA sites and structures. Geoff briefs the protagonist that the documents are in the GKR Headquarters in Denver. He says that in order to gain access to the headquarters, they must steal a helicopter from a KPA controlled airbase and gain entry into Denver undetected. From there, the protagonist must venture their way through the headquarters and take the documents.

Gameplay
The gameplay in Homefront Online is simlar to other typical FPS's in the gaming world. It re-uses some of the mechanics in the first Homefront game, such as the Goliath or the underbarrel attachement in assault rifles. Gunplay is balanced, and all the weapons are balanced to feel like their real-life counterparts. Vehicles will have body physics as seen in GTA IV and Beam NG Drive, and will appear in some multiplayer maps depending on map size.
