THQ and Kaos have a pair of new updates for Homefront, one being rolled out in the near future and another which is already out and about.

PS3 gamers are getting a new patch soon. There's no release date yet, but the patch has been submitted to Sony for final approval. Kaos and Sony are working together "to fully test and deliver this update as quickly as possible".

"This PS3 update should address many of the issues our community has identified with the game over the past few weeks," reads the official announcement. "Once Sony approves it, we will reveal more specific information about what this update contains."

PC gamers, on the other hand, are now able to play around with the recently released dedicated server tool which lets users manage and maintain their own servers. The tool can be downloaded through Steam Tools. Here's what you can do with it:

Set server name
Password
Kick team killers / Max team kills
Set max players (players can specify from 2-32)
Round time
Respawn time (1-10 seconds)
Score limit:
Team Deathmatch (1000-30000)
Ground Control (400-2000 - the higher the number specified, the longer the match will take to complete)
VAC secured (yes/no)
Auto team balancing (yes/no)
Friendly fire (on/off)
Disable vehicles (yes/no)
Record game (yes/no)
Player list
Local and global ban list
Server administrators will also have the option to kick players, enforce spectating, or swap teams.
