Developer Kaos Studios has told Eurogamer that the deal to bring all Homefront DLC to Xbox 360 first only came about because Microsoft showed great support for the game while Sony stood mute.

Leaping into a Homefront multiplayer demo in its first throes is like witnessing several dozen people all failing their driving tests at once. The game's jeeps and tanks are pretty zippy once you get to grips with them, but they're quirky; with forward and reverse on the left stick, and turning tied to the camera, there's a little bit of brain-lag to take into account. So, for the first few moments, fender benders and other slapstick RTAs dominate most of the action on the map.

"He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks." Those are the words of Sun Tzu, a man who would have had a lot of time for Homefront, where everyone is spiritually drawn toward camping behind rocks and using remote-control helicopter drones to spam one another with rockets.
