Recommended Specs for the game (A few websites this week released what they claimed to be the official specs, most weren’t)
We can confirm that you’ll be able to enjoy Homefront in 3D on PC with full NVidia 3D Vision support.
The guys at Bash & Slash recorded a podcast with Digital Extremes & KAOS Studios that covers a load more detail here.
Homefront is available to pre-order on Steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/55100/
PC SPECIFIC FEATURES
From a gameplay standpoint, they’ve done some additional work on the vehicles. On PC, you’ll be able to control all vehicles from the 1st person cockpit viewpoint as well as 3rd person. Also added are additional control options for helicopters, to give those players looking for more sim-like controls something to get their teeth round.
There are three settings:
Ace: Allows for the best maneuverability, but takes the most practice to master.
Veteran: Balanced difficulty and maneuverability.
Rookie: Pick-up-and-play level of difficulty, least maneuverable.
Also included is a Practice Mode so you can get to grips with vehicle controls outside the pressures of a live match. No need in wasting your hard earned Battle Points!
Lastly, some extra vehicle abilities for co-pilots, such as a Recon function to the Scout heli, and support joystick control for all vehicles has been added.
In terms of other gameplay changes:
- Added a Squad Management system for PC, with Squad based VOIP
- Added Clan Support on PC, and they’ll be tracking more post-match statistics
- Use Valve Anti-Cheat to counter cheating.
Also featuring Multiplayer Match Recording (check out the podcast)
A Dedicated Server Browser Executable to allow you set your own private Homefront servers within 2 weeks of launch.
LAN support in there as well!
Finally, a few tweaks you’d expect as standard - optimised UI to make it more PC and Mouse friendly.
Support SLI / Crossfire configurations for extra performance, and we support 3D through NVidia’s 3D Vision if you have the appropriate hardware.
