Huw Beynon, Head of Global Communications at THQ has recently posted an image to his Foursquare account teasing some new information on Homefront 2. The image he uploaded was a logo from Crytek and with that, a caption.

They need to hurry and get info out on this game, there is going to be a mad rush at the beginning of 2013 to get games out before the announcement of the new consoles. I have a feeling that developers know the announcements are going to happen before E3 2013.
The reason for an announcement before E3 would be to kill some of the steam Nintendo will get from releasing a new console a year before the competition.
Well it needs to be next gen with that release date. I thought if it was coming out in 2013 that it might be something I'd be interested in early on in the year, but 2014 I'll be fully into next gen on all fronts.
we considering the only people who didn't like the first one are call of duty screamers, they no it can't since the first one wasn't bad to begin with.
It wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't a great one either. The multiplayer had some serious problems from Day 1, and the AI in the single player was terrible!
Homefront was a good idea, but poorly executed. The story could've been so much better and had great potential. Its as if the writers only did 5 mins of research on Korea.....
No kidding! Don't get me wrong there were some genuinely powerful moments in there. Like the scene in the beginning where the kid is forced to watch his parents be executed and then starts crying is heart-wrenching!
I had just enough enjoyment out of the first game that I am willing to give #2 a chance. While I was disappointed by the single player of Homefront, I saw just enough to see true promise for the game. MP wise I felt Homefront was quite good and fun but lacked in graphical fidelity.
Homefront 2's biggest challenge is going to be finding a spot between BF3 and MW3. How unique can they become? I mean vehicle play was good in HF but its great in BF3... Shooting is really good in both MW3 and BF3 ( one being more twitch than the other ) so .... can it be better? Or good enough that gamers will buy it and support it? That's a tall order if you ask me.
Dear THQ. To hell with Homefront and any other cod clone you're cooking up. Market the hell out of Metro 2033 and Last Light. Shooter fans are dying for unique experiences and Metro could be just the ticket.

There were some really bad design choices made.
