Homefront is a military like first person shooter. If you've played Call of Duty, you will find this game very familiar. You can rank up to unlock more weapons. You can then unlock attachments for those weapons by earning a set amount of kills. There are even "perk" like special abilities for players and vehicles. Homefront does contain vehicles, but they are used a lot more differently than other popular vehicle warfare games like battlefield. Each section of this guide covers everything you need to know about Homefront's multiplayer. This game does need a special pass to rank up past level 5 in the multiplayer. Either buy the game brand new or you will have to buy an online pass through the store for $10.
Homefront does not have any type of split screen available. There is only online ranked multiplayer matches and private matches. Private matches can be between you and anyone you know online.

Custom Loadouts
Just like many other games, Homefront allows you to create a custom loadout for multiplayer. The loadouts must be made before a match in the armory. Four classes will be available at the start of the game. Two loadouts will be unlocked for customization at later levels, but you can still use those two loadouts in game.
Each custom loadout contains:
1 Primary Weapon
1 Attachment for the primary weapon
Camouflage for the primary weapon
1 Special Explosive
2 Purchase Slots
Infantry Abilities
Choose whatever set up you like to create the perfect class. Some infantry abilities and weapon purchases are geared more towards offensive play. Some are geared more towards defensive play. Mix and match to find the perfect balance. This guide will help you choose the correct weapon, purchase weapon, attachment, and infantry ability.
XP and BP are the two main parts of Homefront's Multiplayer. They are both awarded the same via kills, but they have different functions. Experience Points (XP) carry over and increases your rank. The final amount of XP earned at the end of the match is the amount of BP plus a match bonus. Battle Points (BP) are used to buy certain things during a game, such as RPGs or vehicles. Each match starts you out with 500 BP. BP carries over from life to life, but it does not carry over from match to match.
You are awarded XP/BP bonuses while playing Homefront's multiplayer. Do any one of these things to get the XP/BP Bonus. Some bonuses may have a + next to them. The + means you are given this amount in addition to the normal amount. If you get a kill, you are awarded 130. If you get a kill with a headshot, you are awarded 160 (130 + 30).

Homefront ships with three basic game modes for multiplayer – Team Deathmatch, Ground Control, and Battle Commander. There are 6 available game modes to choose from online. This area explains what each game mode is.
Team Deathmatch
Two teams of 12 face off in a match to the death. The winner must reach the score limit before the time limit ends. If neither team reaches the score limit, the team with the highest score wins at the end of the time limit. The score limit is 12000 Points/120 Kills. The time limit is 13 Minutes.
Ground Control
Three objectives are placed on the map. Two teams of 16 fight to take control over them. Stand in the area to secure the sector and earn 250 BP. The more sectors your team has control over, the faster your team's score bar will fill. The team who has a full bar first wins the round and pushes the other team back. The first team to win two rounds wins the game. If one team wins the first round and the other team wins the second, the third round will be pushed back to the first three set of objectives. Ground control has the biggest maps. The three sectors can move to the left or to the right at the second round.
It takes 20 seconds to secure a sector by yourself. More teammates at the sector will capture it faster. Both teams can see how fast or how close a team is to capture a sector.
Skirmish
Allows you to play Team Deathmatch and Ground Control with two small teams. Two Teams of 8.
Battle Commander
Unlocked at Level 7.
Battle Commander is more like a special set of rules or a custom game for Ground Control or Team Deathmatch. Choose to play either game mode under Battle Commander.
Each team will be assigned a computer controlled Commander that will give you missions. Every mission is to eliminate a priority target. The target may be a player, a drone, or a player inside a vehicle. These priority targets are called instigators. The players who are told to eliminate the instigator are called "hunters." Hunters are given the general location of an instigator, but never the exact location. Eliminate the instigators for XP/BP bonuses. Anyone can eliminate them, but only the hunters are given their general location.
To become a priority threat, you must go on a kill streak. Every instigator starts out with one star. Earn kill streaks with weapons, vehicles or drones to rank up to another star and unlock special abilities. Your drone's battery will refill after each star you earn. With each star you earn, more enemies will be assigned to eliminate you. You can have a max of 5 stars. With each star you earn, you will earn a special award.

There are a variety of weapons to choose from in Homefront's multiplayer. While creating a class, you can only choose one gun and one special explosive from this weapon category. You will always have a M9 pistol as your sidearm.
I had to do rough estimations for the damage values for each weapon. I was not able to find the PC code to know the exact values. Therefore, I do not know how fast (RPM) these weapons shoot. I will list the weapon, the fire mode (full auto/semi auto/burst fire), the ammo capacity, the damage per bullet, and the reload time. According to my calculations, Headshots add 2.1x damage to each bullet, while Flak Jacket reduces bullet damage by 25% (.25x). Damage also drops off at distance. The M9 bullets do 15-30 damage. This means they will kill with 4 bullets up close and up to 7 far range. Headshots will kill an enemy quicker, while flak jacket keeps an enemy alive longer.

Each custom loadout allows you to choose two items to purchase in game. You can only purchase them once you reached the required amount of BP. Once you have the required amount of BP, you can instantly purchase the item anywhere in a multiplayer game.
Drones are small remote-controlled machines. Each one can be used for different situations. If you are killed when controlling one, the drone will be destroyed. Drones can be destroyed by bullets, explosives, or one knife/melee attack. You cannot capture sectors in ground control with them.
All drones have battery power. The batter power is the amount of time you have with a drone before it self destructs. The more your drone does – moving and shooting – the faster the battery power runs out. I will give an average for battery time in the drone stats.
The health I give is a rough estimate based on the damage I learned from the weapon stats. Remember, a player's health is 100 points.

You must be dead in order to spawn inside of a vehicle after the class selection menu. It seems only two vehicles from the same category, and on the same team, can be on the map at a time.
Teammates have the ability to jump inside vehicles, and you can exit any time you like. Players can also spawn directly inside a teammate's Humvee or Tank from the spawn menu. If you exit, a teammate or enemy can take your vehicle. Just like infantry, vehicles have special abilities. You must rank up to a certain level to unlock the ability options for each vehicle.
