This is a fan-made project which aims to fix and enhance the port of TimeSplitters 2 (TS2) contained in the 2016 game Homefront: The Revolution, which was hidden away as an unlockable easter-egg. Even though only 2 campaign missions in TimeSplitters 2 were playable (Siberia and Chicago), the entirety of TS2's game files were present in Homefront's files. Players would have to play through Homefront's campaign for several hours until they reach an arcade cabinet located in the game. The player walks up to the cabinet and interacts with it, which triggers TS2 to load and take over their screen until they exit and resume playing Homefront's campaign. The unlock codes for the full game were eventually revealed in April 2021. Since only the first two levels were intended to be playable, many major bugs were left in. Work began by the TS2 modding community to fix these game-breaking bugs so that this unique version of the game could be played properly. This project unlocks all of TS2 permanently, fixes several game-breaking bugs, adds quality-of-life enhancements, and adds extra content. This port of TS2 is rendered natively on PC/console in full HD, including up to 4K, with native widescreen and mouse/keyboard/gamepad support. It uses high-quality assets and lossless audio for music and sound-effects. This port of TS2 is the only "HD remaster" of TS2 currently in existence. Homefront Ripper option deletes any of Homefront's game files not needed to play TS2. Reduxes game size from 46GB to 2.5GB. Two Hidden Levels Unlocked - Dam and Western are playable in Arcade Custom mode. These are special multiplayer versions of the maps Siberia and Wild West from story mode. All deathmatch-related modes, like Vampire and Gladiator, can be played in these levels. The developers inadvertently included a half-working version of the TimeSplitters 1 map "Chemical Plant" in the game's files. It is now fixed and playable in Arcade. This classic TS1 map was never available in the console ports of TS2. |
