The Unpopular Opinion: Homefront was one of the Best Shooters of 2011

Gaming Unwrapped Writer Ryan "Rdawg" T Says - "2011 was a big year for shooters. With releases like Battlefield 3, Resistance 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Modern Warfare 3, it would be a shame to say that it wasn’t one of the biggest years for the genre that we have seen in a while. With this many shooters being released, every gamer really has to choose which ones were hits and which ones were misses. I mean hell, who has the money to buy every single one? This being said, I would have to rate Homefront pretty high on that list, and I would give it a top 3 spot as far as 2011 shooters go."

It had a good set-up, but the basic shooting mechanics, poor hit-detection, underwhelming set pieces, and terrible AI made sure it was a failure. It's like the writer knew what he was doing, but the actual developers were drunk.

Ha, this made me laugh, but is pretty accurate. As I said, the thing I really liked was the story. That's why I am so excited for Homefront 2 being developed by Crytek!

My review would say heck no to that idea. At the same time, it's not like the other 2011 shooters I've played are as good as critics lead us to believe (BF3, MW3, R3, Brink).

The game was good, not great. The multiplayer was damn good..

Devs Share Personal Touches They've Hidden in Games

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.

I liked the State of Decay graphic artist whom put penises in the textures.
