Homefront is set in a dystopic United States in 2027. Multiplayer is still playable (as of 2017) on PC.
The online multiplayer function of the game is now defunct due to the sale and closure of THQ in late 2013. Although the online pass is not required to play multiplayer, those who play without an online pass will be unable to progress further than level 5 of the total 75 levels. Each copy of Homefront contains an online pass, granting users access to the full multiplayer experience. The multiplayer gameplay takes place in the period before the United States Armed Forces were completely scattered. Players can earn points by completing objectives and increasing their amount of kills, and can choose to spend their points between many small purchases such as weapons, missiles, and drones, or larger, higher cost items like helicopters and tanks. The defining innovation of Homefront 's multiplayer is its battle points system, which is an in-game currency that allows a player to purchase weapons, gear, and vehicles. The multiplayer component of Homefront is focused on large-scale, vehicle-based combat reminiscent of Kaos Studios' first title, Frontlines: Fuel of War. The single-player campaign takes 4 to 10 hours to finish the game, all depending on the player's experience.
