For the driver of the tank, there is a HUD display that corresponds with the level of damage the vehicle has taken in any given area – green for full armor, yellow for damaged armor and flashing red for a completely exposed weak spot. For the attacker, the damage is displayed artistically with explosions, smoke, fire and visual mesh changes so that the attacker always knows where the weakest part of the vehicle is exposed. The medium armored and heavy armored vehicles use the over armor system as a ‘shield’ of sorts as the side panels on these vehicles absorb all the initial damage from an attacker leaving the armor destroyed but the vehicle with full health. Don’t worry, the entire vehicle is not armored and it is up to the driver to use this to his advantage as best he/she can. It’s also up to the attacker to exploit the vehicle’s weaknesses to the best of their ability. This really creates dynamic vehicle versus vehicle battles and vehicle versus infantry battles as it becomes tactically important to jockey for position for both attacking and protecting the vehicles.

In conclusion one might think, ZOMG!? THE VEHICLES ARE SO OP! … well, don’t fret! Vehicles are meant, by design, to be powerful in Homefront. They are expensive, hard to get and difficult to keep alive and as such SHOULD be powerful and have extra features to help them not go down like they are made of paper. Our vehicles are strong, feel strong and have a ‘weightiness’ to them that makes them a treat to control and a prize to strive for in game.

Speaking of evolving, that brings me to the next point – since the line on the map moves, the game stays new & fresh while the match develops. So, if you’re in a wide open area good for tanks & snipers (grrr!), when the Round is over the map shifts to a new area with completely different site lines and cover points. So, that campy sniper will now have to deal with close quarters run ‘n gunners & drones galore, serves him right dammit!

There’s no “I” in Team, only “me” & fortunately in Homefront, if you complete “me” behaviors to earn Battle Points, chances are you’re helping the team win. Capping objectives, saving teammates, blowing up vehicles, & defending objectives, they all promote teamplay and lead to checkmarks in the all-important Win column. No more “I guy” hiding in a corner, waiting for a killstreak to surface while giving the big middle finger to the fellas going after objectives. Kiss that notion goodbye

You don;t have to use your early unlock till you actually unlock it.... With BFBC2 I got 2 codes. 1 for the early unlock AK74U and 1 for the early access to squad rush..... Might be the same and you could use the shotty code and not the early unlock code.

Launch AK-74su was a friggin Laser beam that would saw somebody in half at 200 yards.

That code changed the game for a time.
