[@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.

[@HafifSyukra]

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.

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... 😑

@@bardocomunista yeah they steal, but you do not seem to understand how unlikely it is for a resistance to not only capture modern day jets (impossible to maintain, have them take off and hide) but that it would be 10 times harder if they are stealth jets. Just admit the game was stupid here lol

[@MrTJPAS]

It's not the resistance flying those jets, it's remnants of the U.S. military who have been in hiding with them since the occupation began. The whole goal of the campaign is getting stolen fuel to the military so they can use their vehicles to attack Sand Francisco. Personally, I'm more curious to how the military couldn't obtain fuel by themselves in 2 years, or that they're confident in flying aircraft that they probably haven't been able to test since everything was hit by an EMP without at least 1 thing failing and causing them to crash

Fun fact: Instead Of North Korea, China is originally supposed to be antagonist.

[@epiczeus945]

The Remake of Red Dawn was originally supposed to have the Chinese as the invading force until China complained. The release of that movie was delayed as they had to edit reshoot scenes to change everything to North Korea.

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.

I suppose if the North Korean annexation of South Korea was like the 1938 German Anschluss, whereby the majority of South Koreans welcomed the unification based on economic and pan-Korean nationalism (since it's stated North Korea has a thriving economy in this timeline, then it could make sense. But then I don't believe a unified Korea of 77 million would be able to conquer Japan, South East Asia, and especially the US.

[@pliskinishmael7190]

Greatest practical joke of all time was "Korean annexation of Asia" LOL From a military, economic and geographic perspective, Korea would've been sunk the first month of their expansion. Military - Japan has the upper hand because crossing the Japanese sea is nearly close to impossible without losing a huge chunk of landing vessels and the best landing zone would be Tokyo and you'd have to go around from either Hokkaido or Osaka to reach that area, they could easily blockade both areas to slow or even stop the invasion. Both Hokkaido and Osaka have different geographical advantages. Osaka is close to the island chains and can easily create a blockade while Hokkaido has weather. Naval warfare is quite difficult in cold weather. Honshu on the other hand is a mountainous region. Economic - sanctions would've been placed to stop Korean expansion by both Japan and China. Japan would've blockaded raw materials from entering the Korean peninsula while China would've felt challenged by its neighbor and cease support for their war effort. Geographic - I don't need to say anything about this other than to tell you to look at a map. The Korean peninsula is literally sandwiched between China and Japan. Any ideas of expansion and you're shotdown as soon as your armies step out of their area of responsibility...

[@patbateman9473]

Ya know this game was originally made keeping china as the enemy and not North Korea... Apparently there was some backlash by the chinese which forced the devs to change it to North Korea... Imagine china in this scenario it'll make much more sense 💀

[@sakeburyojo4218]

Hate to say this but changing North Korea to China makes a lot more sense in lores. IRL China would be a major opposer to Korea reunification, as a divided Korea is safer for it.

[@NewNicator]

I think it was originally China but then they got offended and since they’re a profitable market they decided to change it to North Korea. The same thing happened with the Red Dawn movie remake, where they changed the invading force from China to North Korea. Basically: depicting China in war equals to -130,000,000 social credit points.
