Korean Invasion of America - Battle of San Francisco - Homefront

Somehow the North Koreans have returned and invade America. Or more likely, the devs wanted an Indo-Pacific power invading America without offending said Indo-Pacific power.

[@theemries4766]

Actually, that entire premised sparked a fan theory of my own about Homefront: The Revolution. None of the occupying soldiers in the HF:TR use proper tactics, and while some may say that games don't really use actual squad tactics, my belief is that the Greater Korean Republic is in heavy decline. That is why a very incompetent resistance is able to get things like SAMs and actually beat them. Essentially, the Greater Korean Republic has to institute mass conscription to keep a huge country like the US occupied, but even then they can't properly do it. That is why the Greater Korean Republic, even with the world's best technology, cannot occupy a country who's resistance kills a mayor on live TV, and still somehow garners support.

North Korea is actually modernizing it would seem. Whether those big guns of theirs actually are effective..ehh.

[@GlidingZephyr]

I love how all of the enemy soldiers immediately shout and jump into the open as soon as you come close to them. It's a time honoured tactic that I believe is called: "Yell and then get shot in the face several times."

They really can do anything after invading the South, though. Then Japan, and then all neighboring countries. The logistics won't be the problem, they can sabotage or god knows whatever they do to acquire more resources to start invade US. The problem would be their people's loyalty in those invaded countries.

[@Wafflepudding]

@@HafifSyukra No, the real problem would be (unified) Korea building an army capable of defeating the US army in its own turf, a navy capable of transporting and supplying that army across the pacific and defeating both the largest navy and airforce in the world to do that with a country less than a third the population and less than a 16th the GDP with no experience or capability to do operations or power projection capabilities on that scale. This is like Resident Evil monsters where 1 160 pound guy gets bitten by a critter and becomes an 800 pound monstrosity able to take antitank rockets to the face like a temporary inconvenience. *It's fantasy*. Hell, even China doing it might be a stretch, because invading the CONUS from another continent is like invading Russia during winter. The logistics alone make it damn near impossible, even without a strong opposing army.

People are missing the point, it’s not that North Korea is invading our United States. In this world the US as a country was declining and dealing with massive civil unrest and economic strife. An EMP took out the infrastructure for a brief time and the North Koreans (who have spent like a decade building an empire similar to the Landmass of Imperial WW2 Japan) got lucky with a first strike. The only have like 1/3rd of the country occupied before it reached a stalemate with the US armed forces. It’s still unrealistic and laughable but the game attempted to amend this with some lore that the intro actually explains. A unified totalitarian state with a large army got lucky when the US was crippled.

[@auberginereverie]

the most ironic part in the intro is that a lot (if not most) of these events happened irl after the game was released, like the death of kim jong-il (actually happened at the same year this game was released), north korean nuclear testings, oil and energy crisis (scaled back, 2021-2022), a more partisan politics (2017-), george floyd protests/riots (depending on your call, 2020), covid-19 recession (2020-), covid-19 pandemic (holy shit 6.5 million deaths at the time of writing. not that far from the asian bird flu epidemic, 2020-), among others

This game had such a fun multiplayer, I'm surprised it never got a proper sequel.

[@kota3233]

i liked the ticket system. The multiplayer game started with small arms and ended in all-out armed and air combat.

[@exactbanksy9901]

Oh man. The multiplayer was top tier lol

You know what the most hilarious thing about this whole opening is? They were only off by about two years and which animal it was.

North Korea, because game developers can't use China as the aggressive invader

[@spacekraken666]

The intro is kinda creepy when you realize this game was released in 2011

[@cycclone1227]

You are god damn right. it says the asian flu kills 6 million americans! that's like the corona or an upcoming virus. all of this shit was staged.

[@tcut95]

I was OBSESSED with this game! Got up to I think rank 73 in multiplayer, had hundreds of hours and would have hit max rank had I not taken a break. If only HF2 hadn't been such shit. I wanted a continuation of this story and the multiplayer was basically Conquest/Rush from Battlefield but honestly STILL felt revolutionary! We didn't even get multiplayer in the second game... 😑

[@Alecxace]

fun fact. The devs were a part of Dice for Battlefield 2. A chunk left with half going to make Frontlines fuel of war, the other half made this

Imagine a game where: 1. The gunplay is not just worse than the 2yr old MW2, but more akin to an outdated C-tier FPS 2. The graphics look like they were made by people who couldn't get hired anywhere else 3. The story is the erotic WWIII fanfic of that cringey communist kid from your highschool who wore stanky, sweat-laced, 1960s Soviet surplus winter gear to class everyday...

[@slippercream]

Man, just about forgot that I have this game on my Steam account. Makes me wanna replay it. During a time when these types of "Red Dawn" scenarios could possibly exist, makes you want to rethink your arsenal. And, yet, Congress wants to disarm you. Ironically, with politicians visiting Ukraine and Taiwan - countries who have both realized they need to arm their populace accordingly for battle - makes me nostalgic for games like these - realistic and hits home - as the title "Homefront" suggests. Another one, but in the RTS flavor of things: World in Conflict. Great games, both!

[@DeosPraetorian]

no they only say they want to disarm.

[@VCBird6]

Kinda funny how they accurately predicted Kim Jong Il's death, even down to the year. As well as a major global plague and the sudden and sloppy abandoning of our allies (albeit in the Middle East) The plausibility of this game goes down the tubes with the US heavy investment in fracking tech starting around 2011, allowing us to be more energy independent than portrayed in the game. But if we HADN'T done that, it becomes possible, if only infinitesimal

[@djmars1983]

Sometimes fiction and Truth kind of intermix in The ether of speculative history always give it time there's always going to be some bright spots and dark spots

[@desertdude8274]

To be fair Afghanistan was never an ally and those who fought for the government there gave up easily anyway.

[@MajinLiveTV]

Man this game was terrible but holy crap that intro turned out to be so damn accurate: - Oil crisis and crazy cost of gas at the pump - CHECK - "This is not a retreat nor are we abandoning our Asian allies", US withdrawal from Afghanistan - CHECK - Asian bird flu kills 6 million Americans - CHECK Now we just need to look out for someone to invade the USA....

[@CHURCHISAWESUM]

That has to be one of the funniest premise intros ever made.

[@primeaether]

[@atomicexistentialism8428]

This game once scared me. Right up until you realise just how utterly broken the west has left North Korean. The US utterly bombed the entire country into oblivion. Killing thousands, imposed crippling sanctions despite the outbreak of a major famine, and then got surprised when they developed nuclear weapons to defend themselves. Truly the paradigm of shooting someone in the leg and complaining when they can't walk and pull a gun on you

[@HighAltitudeEnjoyer]

[@marcusalexander7088]

I personally refused to have anything to do with this game although it did look pretty cool because the company bent the knee to China before the expression "bend the knee" had even entered the vernacular. The enemy was SUPPOSED to be CHINA, but the company CAVED. No cash for cowards!

Well if it is actually China you should go to the fallout universe because that is what happens if you go to war with another major power.
