No . there was simply no demand for the game . There was demand . But the game had a branding problem , and it was released months before it was ready , and it also . yea , had a major branding problem . The game is Far Cry 3 CrysisHalfLife 2 . Surely there ' s a demand for singleplayer open world FPS titles from Crytek . I mean , people spent years complaining that Crysis games were becoming too linear . So they mistakenly thought that they should give the fans what they want I assume . No more ceph , lots more Koreans . It has almost nothing to do with Homefront they didn ' t even like the first game and they scrapped the first game ' s entire storyline and general lore , used the name Homefront because the old Homefront sold over three million copies . TimeSplitters 3 sold very badly , which is why TimeSplitters 4 was cancelled . The problem was that Homefront was a 2 . 5 hour long Call of Duty clone that has a rather obnoxious multiplayer fanbase . The game keeps being referred to as a sequel when it ' s actually a pseudoreboot made by a completely different team on another continent who didn ' t like the first game . It ' s about as much of a sequel as Far Cry 2 was a sequel to Far Cry .
