As promised KAOS Studios and Digital Extremes has posted a blog post on all the PC exclusive features.
The list is pretty big and has some surprises that far exceeds my expectations that fell after the news of the Xbox exclusive map and timed exclusive DLC, with features as demo recording and a slight hint at mod tools.
KAOS even says that the 32 player limit is not final and can be increased if there is enough demand for it.
Homefront is releasing March 8 on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3
KAOS Studios Has released a Homefront Single Player Dev Diary called "Fight for Freedom" detailing how missions came to life and the player should feel like they were in a post invaded US.
Homefront is also now available for Pre Order on Steam for $49.99 and will come with an Air Assault Drone as the pre-purchase exclusive.
Homefront is slated for release March 11th 2011.

Gametrailers have just posted up the debut trailer for the Homefront Multiplayer. And all I can say is wow.
A few things we have noticed is that there are infact vehicles and not just vehicles that you can summon like kill streaks but vehicles you can fully control. Along with vehicles you can control you can also control RC Drones much like in their previous game Frontlines Fuel of War.
Instead of the North Koreans vs. US Resistance it looks like it will be North Koreans vs. US Army.
Take a look for yourselves below.
After a long wait the Homefront Community Site has officially launched, it was planned to launch about this time last year after the game was announced. At the Community Site you can check out the latest news, media such as videos and screenshots and participate in the forums.
So head on over and introduce yourself on the forums and help the community grow.
Well it looks as if THQ/KAOS is catering to the PC gamer. According to IGN the PC version of Homefront will have PC exclusives.
PC players will be able to set up and host Homefront dedicated servers and enjoy additional community features including clan support. We believe the core PC first-person-shooter fan will really appreciate these features, which are becoming increasingly rare.
Could it be that PC gamers will get some of the things they have been asking for in a game? Will we get Map/MOD tools? Well only time will tell. Stay tuned here for more info as it comes out.
THQ is using an interesting way to advertise Homefront. It is called Pyongyang Express and it serves North Korean BBQ. THQ’s Senior PR Manager Tyrone Miller says the truck “captures the essence of the storyline and pulls our audience into this as if it is really happening.” The truck goes by the slogan “Subsidized good Food for a Better America” and it’s the first part of the history timeline where Kim Jong-il dies, his son takes over North Korea and then North and South Korea unite. Later, unified Korea invades the U.S. Below are some pictures of the truck.
The truck will be on the streets until the game is released next year but Los Angeles-based food trucks can breathe easy. Pyongyang Express will move on to San Francisco and New York City soon.
Kaos Studios sent us an exclusive screenshot from Homefront of the Goliath remotely controlled vehicle. Now unlike Frontlines: Fuel of War, there previous game which had remotely controlled vehicles also, this one is actually the size of a large SUV or Tank!
Thank you Kaos Studios!
