Tour of Duty

 

 

Combat Studios, Tour of Duty™ in association with THQ© and KAOS Studios© Presents Homefront Combat The official tournament for HOMEFRONT™

Subscriptions are now available. CLICK HERE to purchase one now – http://www.bf2combat.net

Combat Studios Tour of Duties are unlike any clan ladder or other online tournaments, our members participate in a simulated war, with commanding officers, divisions, and a score system to show the progress of the war from week to week. The Tour revolves around regular practices, large-scale company practices and huge, up to ten hour battles fought twice a week across a variety of servers. Members may attend as much or as little of battles as they like.
Players will have the option to join any of our tournaments and be assigned to one of the armies in that theatre of war. Each army will have the required structure and will battle twice a week against the opposing army on maps representing the territory being fought for. The progress of the war is displayed on a unique scoreboard where territories change hands based on which army wins them. Each Tour lasts approximately 12 weeks. At the end of each Tour, the outcome of the prior conflict is taken into consideration and the battle will enter new areas, featuring new content and action.
While we are a very serious gaming community we understand that our members have lives; you will be able to attend as much or as little of battles as you would like. Welcome to Combat Studios Tour of Duty, and we’d love to give you the opportunity to play many of your favourite games the way they are meant to be played. Signup and start your online military career today.

Homefront PC Patch 1.0.3 Now Available!

The latest patch is now available on Steam and will be downloaded the next time you start Homefront.

FEATURES Version 1.0.384501

2011-04-05_00001

Ban list rework

·         We now store two separate ban lists on servers; a local ban list, and a global ban list. The local ban list is for bans that originate on the server (via kickbans, etc). The global ban list is for bans that are initiated by a trusted ban list authority. The ban lists store the date of ban, the name of the admin who initiated the ban, the reason for the ban, and a URL field for any relevant ban evidence (demos etc).

New Feature – DEMO URL

·         A DemoURL can now be specified in the server playlist, this is used to indicate the location of stored demo files to user’s in-game (see the multiplayer options screen). A good practice for server admins would be to share the demo folder via FTP, this would allow users to grab demos of games they starred in, and also (very importantly!) allow users and anti-cheat authorities to download evidence for cheat reporting. Incidentally, it is now possible to dump all users unique steamID’s from both in-game, and in-demos to the console or text file (this will make reporting abusive players and enforcing bans incredibly easy).

GAME BALANCE

·         RPG’s now deal additional damage to HMMWV’s.
·         Lowered m200 and m110 sniper rifle damages. The only 1 shot possible is now headshots.
·         Flak jacket now has a lower BP cost, and a slight effectiveness buff.
·         Diablo damage adjusted.
·         Weapon is taken out of ADS and accuracy decreases when jumping.

OPTIMIZATIONS & FIXES

·         The Rhino drones weapon attachment was not being properly moved with the Rhino drone on dedicated servers, causing the rockets to fire incorrectly. This is now fixed.
·         We have added some animation optimizations for large player games.
·         Several UI related improvements were added for large player games.
·         Fixed scaling text zooming on Battle Commander when opening up the battle chat or squad UI.
·         Switched the buttons around on the load out rename confirmation dialog to better abide by conventions.
·         Improved SLI/CrossFireX support.
·         A few reported issues with WinXP 64 bit edition have been addressed.
·         Improved menu navigation with analogue controls.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

·         User feedback for kicks and bans has been improved.
·         The intermission lobby now displays clan tags.
·         Text chat is now possible in the kill cam, spawn selection, and intermission lobby screens.

NEW SETTINGS & CONTROL OPTIONS

·         EnableD3D10/11 is now accessible via the system settings menu.
·         Mouse acceleration is now accessible via the controls menu.
·         Mouse smoothing is now accessible via the controls menu.

Update Homefront Patch ?!

As you’ve probably heard, the Xbox 360 Title Update just went live this morning which we expect to address all ‘Profile Freeze’ issues. In the background, we’ve been hard at work on further improvements which should be following hot on the heels of this update. Details to follow tomorrow.

We have a full-time team here at Kaos Studios dedicated to ongoing support on the technical side, as well as development of a wide range of exciting DLC that we’re not quite ready to talk about just yet, but hope to unveil to you in the very near future.

We’d like to thank you for your continued patience, and assure you that we will continue to support our multiplayer community for many months to come.

Sincerely,
The Homefront Team
