Which game do you think will be HoS' biggest competitor?
Personally I see it like this:
Homefront -> I expect this game to die after 2 months, so it shouldn't be any harm to HoS
Brink -> Sure one of the biggest MP games this year, but it's something completely different than HoS so I'd rather expect people to play both games at the same time, at least that's what I'm gonna do
Next Call of Duty -> with the next CoD being developed by IW+Sledgehammer+Raven Software I expect it to be mediocre at best(or for the haters: even more mediocre), starting the downfall of the CoD series. Also I don't see the CoD community as a real target area for new HoS players
Battlefield 3 -> This is where it gets problematic. If we expect HoS to come out Q1/Q2 and BF3 in late 2011 there is a huge chance that BF3 will take away many players from HoS. My main fear is that now with quite a few BF veterans pissed off and moving to HoS, they might go back to BF3 if it's a) modern warfare b) not a total screw-up c) a real BF3 and not BC3.
Maybe it would be good to release Rising Storm/one of the other mods in Late 2011 (if possible) to make sure BF3 doesn't have too much of a hit on the HoS audience.
