Homefront will require THQ Online pass
Upcoming shooter will require a unique code to fully unlock multiplayer
THQ's upcoming "war at home" shooter Homefront will use the company's newly developed Online Pass for multiplayer, on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
THQ's Online Pass is a single-use code that is included for free in all new copies of games. Users who do not have access to a free code - whether it be from rental or purchasing the game second-hand - can purchase an online pass for $10. EA has already executed this program with relative success for all of its recent titles.
What's new though, is that according to THQ users who do not have an online pass will still be able to play Homefront's online component. However, the experience is limited. Users will have access to all multiplayer maps but can only progress to a maximum level of 5 out of the full experience's 75 levels. In contrast, EA titles' multiplayer is completely locked without the pass.
Users can continue to play the game online without an online pass for as long as they choose but will not be able to progress past the capped level.
Homefront is coming to PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 in March.
