THQ's future leaning action game Homefront will utilize "online Pass" for online play via a code packed in the game. Much like it did with UFC Undisputed 2010, used game buyers will have to purchase a new code online in order to play the multiplayer part of the game in its entirety.
THQ did say that it will offer a limited multiplayer option for used game buyers that gives them access to multiplayer up to level 5. The game features a full 75 levels.
The extra code will cost right around $10. Naturally, single player will not be affected by Online Pass. The game ships in March for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Re: THQ Puts Online Pass in Homefront
When people said try to entice to buy new, this isn't what was meant by that.

So, what did they mean?

Well, not sure what EVERYONE meant but most agreed better would be a bonus such as a one time use DLC code.
Re: THQ Puts Online Pass in Homefront
I hope online pass will be drop in the near future, all it does is devalue the game in the long run.

Re: THQ Puts Online Pass in Homefront
I was considering, at the most, renting this game. Now I won't touch it. Probably not even as a gift either.
