The fact that it uses assets from a previous title isn't a major deal. Plenty of game companies do that and make great games. The problem with this game is that the trailers pretty much lied and the 40000 players in a game was a complete lie. The game barely functions. The amount of players in the servers, which is well below 40000, are completely breaking the game. You have to either find a private server or buy your own which is completely unacceptable. Do not buy this game right now it is genuinely unplayable.

After completing every main and side quest and doing most of the dailies and events I can safely say that I have wasted my time. The entire experience was littered with bugs ranging from minor visual glitches the whole way to bugs that stop you from dealing damage, cause your own gun to kill you, make the game drop to 5 fps, and just rampant crashing and server disconnects. This is the most despicable and pitiful AAA release I have ever played in my entire life. The only way this would be impressive is if it was a mod because that's what it feels like. It feels like something that a few modders spent a year doing and felt it was in a good enough state to release. If it was just a mod everyone would love it! But this is a AAA release by Bethesda themselves and it is essentially a big middle finger to the players. Reasons not to buy this game: 1: Gameplay loop that gets incredibly dull long before finishing the game. 2: PvP is the worst I've ever seen in any big multiplayer release that has PvP. It's clear that no one knew how to make a multiplayer game at Bethesda. 3. Rampant bugs. I firmly believe that it is one hundred percent impossible to play for just thirty minutes without running into a bug minor or major. If you are on the fence about buying this game, think in your head how it would feel to hang yourself whilst vomiting and spewing diarrhea everywhere, that is the experience of playing this game.

Homefront: The Refund is the latest disappointment published by Deep Silver. Featuring things such as AI that is seemingly random and has no clue what's going on, as well as no competitive multiplayer. Now a fps can obviously be good without competitive multiplayer. For example the Metro games also published by Deep Silver is an example of excellent gameplay and story in the FPS genre. The game starts off horribly, for around the first forty minutes you do nothing but walk around the street and are stared at by bland characters you could care less about. Nothing is established well at all. It's a mediocre attempt at an FPS game, and right now the original Homefront is looking so much better. It's really bad when you keep repeating in your brain how you wish there was a competitive multiplayer, in fact if there was my review for this game would be so much better. Reasons being the gun system and how they play and feel is great, combat is exciting, until you realize your ai partners and enemy have the mental capacity of a potato. I would only recommend buying this game if you can ever find it on sale for around twenty dollars.
