Burt's correct, drop box this.
I'm not trying to start an argument here, and I'm not saying we will/will not get Home Front. I'm just giving you guys an idea of what these drop box comments need to address. Do NOT use this as a template. I'm just shooting some questions that first come to mind when looking at new games. Provide the information that you feel is most necessary.
Some of the concerns with Home Front:
1. It's a brand-new title. There is no existing community, everyone is new. This leaves us with little assurance that it won't flop. I see that it is on the top-sellers list of steam; however, who is buying games this quarter unless the games are just released? Also, we've all seen games sell units and then the community dies out a month or two later. Tell me about the community, is it a solid, long-lasting one?
2. To sort-of piggy-back the first point, the game doesn't seem to offer anything new to the fps world. It looks like another COD/BC2/MoH/etc. game. I don't think that formula will be successful for much longer, this raises concerns for the community dying off quickly in Home Front. What game features are new and gripping?
3. How do communications work in-game? Consider the ease-of-use so that we can get recruits off of the servers. If I buy the game elsewhere (not on steam) can I still use steam? I heard that MW2 did not allow this. Steam/ventrilo are the easiest ways to walk potential recruits through the application process. If not, is there an in-game friends system?
4. Through which companies can we rent dedicated servers? This is important because we are long-term costumers with certain companies and would like to continue doing business with them.
