Who bought it?

[prozac26]

So I am thinking about buying this game. I want to know how many people have already pre-purchased this?

[RevolverAce]

I have

[razdor2k]

I would, buy I'm just afraid to push my trigger finger on the purchase button because of all the hate, un-confident towards the game, and all the BF3 and RO2 trolls, I just need a little push, something that can promise me this game won't die in a month after release, and 5/10 from edge magazine doesn't help.

[Heids24]

200,000 have preorded if you add all platforms together. I am one of them.

[FrontlinerDelta]

I've bought it too. It's really the only Battlefield-esque shooter that I know of that's coming out for awhile (no idea when RO2 is coming out, not my type of game).

it's not $60, BF3 and RO2 are months away from release, when I actually see the reasons why edge gave a 5/10 and was it the console version or the PC version they reviewed imho I don't give much credence to the edge review

[macacos]

I bought to me and to my brother.

[i_2_i]

i did

already preloaded

waiting for keys

also have frontlines fuel of war (still play it from time to time)

[Validuz]

i did. i regret doing it a little bit, just a little bit... cuz the more gameplay i see the less i want it, BUT! i really, really do think its a FUN game;) just hope im right

[KiloOscarTango]

Here's a thought: we see all sorts of trolls rallying against Homefront, thus when you play the game it won't be with those trolls and otherwise unsavory characters. Why do people use popularity as a measure of quality when they always hate the popular titles?

Edit: I bought a copy for myself and my brother.

[gmodperson]

I ahve, GAME pre-order. stupid no UK steam ,preorder.

[Daner]

I'm not measuring quality by popularity. I just want to have an idea of the community when it comes to online play.

[Tufelhunden]

I was on the fence until I remembered that if the 360 footage looks okay that the PC would look spectacular. I also have faith that the folks that made the Desert Mod know how too make a sold shooter. Throw in the Battle Commander and I was sold.

[Uncle Ripper]

I loved Frontline, the single player had an awesome story and the gameplay was excellent. If this is anything like Frontline I'll be a happier than a puppy with 2 peters.

there is a preload option if you bought the game from Direct2Drive, no Steam preload so far :(

[blaze211]

pre-ordered.

[MadBlade]

pre-ordered it weeks ago.

[Mr_Keroro]

200,000 have preorded if you add all platforms together. I am one of them.Ahem 200k in the US alone ordered as of a week ago. Also I pre-ordered almost a month ago.

[PhamousVegas]

I preordered it a while ago...
Even if not for the game, I'd say Metro 2033 is worth the $50 alone.
But that's just me.

[andretpb]

lol.... Steam already got USD 10000000
ten millon... ohh ♥♥♥♥

[wazups 2x]

Preordered it from D2D awhile ago. Got it for only $40 with a free copy of Metro 2033.

It's preloaded and ready to go for release.

[Chapa9dj]

Pre-ordered but still no pre-load
I can not believe we don't get a pre-load considering this is a Steamwork game and said game is already available for pre-load in D2D.
It doesn't make any sense.

[Joeji]

I pre-ordered. Two games for the price of one, that's a steal, plus the game looks like a lot of fun and i'm all for one on modern shooters that have huge maps and random placed objectives.

Makes perfect sense.
D2D essentially sells retail copies...

They give you the CD key, and then give you the option to 'preload' which is just downloading the files that are on the disc.

I'm sure Steam will get a preload, probably over the weekend.

[pokedex2536]

I'm downloading a d2d preload right now in case steam doesn't get one.

Here's a saying that almost everyone has heard of. What do haters do? THEY HATE! That's what they aim to do whether they've actually played the game in the first place. And if it's not BFBC2 OR MW2 or even Black Ops, its automatically a bad game. I've played two of the three games (BFBC2 and MW2) But to say this game is not any good without any data to back up your opinion isn't the way you go about making a point. And if you people actually did some looking around and reading you would've noticed that there is PC exclusive content for us only. Here's a whole list of things that the PC version will feature http://www.offdutygamers.com/2011/03/homefront-pc-exclusive-features/

So before you go and say PC games always get shafted do a little research before you make your self look like a fool.

Also I have a sinking feeling that we won't be able to use D2D pre-load for steam versions.

I think once you open the iso it has the gcfs/ncfs and such. Then you will be able to move those to steam if you know where to put them.

At least that is what I hope :D

Oh well, might as well delete the pre-load I was downloading..

Yep, too bad it won't work out :o

[NC37]

Digital Extremes...enough of a reason to give the PC Homefront a serious look. Exclusives on Xbox don't matter, they'll make it to PC later. Plus so far the exclusives I see aren't special. If people are sold on such piddy stuff, then they deserve to get bent over and shell out $60.

[quilledbeast]

Preordered today can't wait to get in and play. Plus Metro 2033? It was a no brainer. Besides there's not much else I'm going to get in the next couple of months. Maybe Space Marine?

[Flyguy2000]

I preordered

[JSkilnyk]

I have pre-order the game through Amazon. I think this game will be good in its own right. However, I do believe this game will do just average among most gamers. Mostly, because most people want better graphics and won't settle for anything less than bleeding edge. I for one want story and a complex gameplay. I've been gaming for as along as I can remember and the only game i'm looking forward to this year is this one.(BF3 2012 I think... ?)

I've watched as many gameplay videos as I can find and the ones that have a lot of comments tend to attract the COD crowd and you just can't compare when you have an more open battlefield than what you find in COD games. If you want to see what I mean about people comparing them to COD check out the youtube link.

[BLAH117]

I want to buy it, but I'm gonna stick with Crysis 2.

[Mr_Keroro]

I want to buy it, but I'm gonna stick with Crysis 2. I would be scared of pre-ordering crysis 2. If the game is anything like the pc demo it is crap.

Sorry to double post, but if you still got a copy, may you kindl gift one to me? I like to see how that is game is like and see if it's my kind of game or not..would really appreciate it.

[wazups 2x]

Crysis 2 is just another bad console port. I was really looking forward to Crysis 2 but after playing the demo I was very disappointed. Sucks because I loved the original.

[richei]

I did, put my 10 bucks down at game stop and paid the balance off last week. so now i just have to pick it up tuesday on my way to work.

I've never cared about the size of the community. i play a game because i like what i see. friends having it also helps alot ;)

[harvesto]

i've been wondering whether to buy or not when Metro 2033 was added into pre-purchase offer and decided to toss a coin. three heads in a roll and now both games are in my library. god's will.

Crysis 2 is just another bad console port. I was really looking forward to Crysis 2 but after playing the demo I was very disappointed. Sucks because I loved the original.

very true. the original Crysis was very tactical including multiplayer and now Crysis 2 is totally arcadiss. sad.

[Rinus4]

I recieved it as gift on Gamersgate....

[Grunt7684]

I got two copies, one for me and one for my girl. She likes to play shooters together. :)

[PhamousVegas]

..crap.

You can use the preload to install the game... not until the game is released though.

You should just be able to replace E: with the directory of the extracted files.

Just pre-ordered mine from D2D. Got $10 discount AND got Metro 2033 free, so was too good a deal to pass up. I love Steam, and prefer to order from Steam, but when I can get it for 10 bucks less and still get Metro free, I gotta go to the better deal.

I don't play Tf2, so the free hat deal don't matter to me.
Also, I'm downloading it right now, just waiting 'til release to get the product key :)

i have and i have the dvd at home now but i can't play it begouse of the f#cking steam activation date!

[Dirtman73]

I jumped the gun and pre-ordered on Steam only to miss the 20% off sale at D2D. Oh well, them's the breaks. The fact that Steam isn't allowing pre-load is a little frustrating too.

Come on Steam, give us the option to install it before the release date!!!

[FLIPTAKU]

Just pre-ordered it myself, I am hoping they will have an option for pre-load but it seems not.

[flickenmaste]

Have had it pre-ordered for a while.

[WiegrafDX]

I have it though it was mostly since I wanted Metro 2033; I tried a demo on Onlive and liked it... then when I got on Steam, I noticed that for 10$ more, I'd get both Homefront and Metro. 25$ per game is a good deal and I had seen some previews of the game and it seemed like it would be fun.

Two birds with one stone.

[gossamer]

Same here. :D

As did I.

I'm looking forward to it, I think it'll be a fun game.

[elmoi69]

I preordered. I was in the fence waiting for some reviews, but time is almost over, i want my free copy of Metro 2033 and the TF2 item, hope i did the right thing.

I got it retail and still ended up with a free copy of metro 2033 :)

thats what I basically did, I got some money and put down for the pre-order, I wanted to get Metro 2033 for PC anyways since I enjoyed the Console version so this was a win-win situation for me.
