Personally, I am interested in playing Homefront: The Revolution [Steam] even if it's not the best FPS ever made. The good news is that it looks like the Linux port is still being worked on.
Checking SteamDB it seems the Linux version has seen some more activity, which is the first time for a week.
It's obviously not a lot to go on, but the publisher has stated before it's still planned to come to Linux.
It would be nice to be able to soon write that "Homefront: The Revolution is now on Linux" and not have it turn out like so many others, with it vanishing or being cancelled.
Who knows, maybe it will be a surprise release for us next month? Next month is looking a rather quiet, so it sure would be welcome.
About the game
Homefront: The Revolution is an open-world first person shooter where you must lead the Resistance movement in guerrilla warfare against a superior military force.
A living, breathing, open world responds to your actions - you and your Resistance Cell can inspire a rebellion on the streets and turn Occupation into Revolution, as oppressed civilians take up the fight.
But your enemy has the advantage - superior technology, firepower, heavy armour and air support. You must learn the art of guerrilla warfare – ambush, sabotage, infiltration, deception – and fight a running battle through the war-ravaged suburbs of Philadelphia.
And the single player campaign is just the start – in Co-Op you and your friends can form your own Resistance Cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Im still interested in this coming to Linux, granted I have a backlog to play through first but still would be good to see.

I wonder how big the problem of the "still" will be at release.
Release a year later and make sure you'll get way less sales on Linux than possible...

I am still waiting for this game. It looks nice to play so I will definitely buy it if it lands on Linux. Plus I love open worlds anyway :p

I finished this game on Windows a few weeks ago.
Even if it's not the best FPS ever made, it's still enjoyable and worth to play it.

The betakey was deleted, so I thing two options: Or the game will be released on Linux soon or the Linux version will be cancelled soon.

I played the original Homefront on other OS and liked it a lot (the game, not the OS). I think I've actually played it twice. I did not buy the sequel yet specifically due to the promise of a Linux port. If it happens, they got my money for sure.

I will also find a way to fit it into my budget in the event it releases. It is nice to have more games on Linux that I would like to buy than I have money to buy them.

Another thing I should mention, I'm really happy that, to the best of my knowledge, Dambuster Studios is working on the Linux port themselves, rather than subcontracting a porter. Don't get me wrong, I love Feral and Aspyr and VP and wish them success and hope they get plenty of work (Feral sure are), but it's good to see a game developer tackle the porting themselves because it means they learn how to program and optimize for Linux. This means that the next game they work on, chances are pretty good we'll see a Linux version, possibly even day 1, since they'll already have the tools in place and the experience of working with Linux.
