RussianNeighbor

Thanks)


-flow-_

thanks for figuring this out. i only play like 1 video game and i was super curious


TiredAmerican1917

[This should give you an idea what Iā€™m talking about](https://youtu.be/_tdAnpKVWmw?si=fRbaddDO5Y9ivr5k)


-flow-_

thank you


TiredAmerican1917

You wonā€™t be thanking me when you cringe watching that. Jeez I canā€™t believe I was so obsessed with this game


-flow-_

from the trailer it looks like they saw half life 2 and were like: :O


TiredAmerican1917

The graphics arenā€™t even that much better than Half Life 2


-flow-_

hard to beat half life 2. that game is gorgeous

If you wanna bring the war home itā€™d be far more realistic to depict a Second American Civil War than have any country invade the continental US. Showcasing America waging total war against its own people would definitely help them understand what Korea and Vietnam went through


NerdyDank

Ahh Homefront....gonna have to play it again just to laugh about how fucking terrible it is.


TiredAmerican1917

The mission where the KPA destroys an entire town in retaliation for your actions just feels like a recreation of Israelā€™s genocide in Gaza even though the game is over a decade old


NerdyDank

Generally speaking the game feels like a whitewashed version of pretty much every US occupation...ever.


TiredAmerican1917

I mean the brutality is pretty on point for a Western occupation. Though the wall surrounding the town was basically coping the West Bank wall


TheGreatMightyLeffe

I do remember the game being pretty decent as a braindead action romp, but I was 15 and about a sixpack in last time I played it.


-flow-_

cut the rope 2?


TiredAmerican1917

XD good one


Old_Atmosphere224

Ah, homefront. Shitty multiplayer, and the story was only interesting because of the shock factor of it being the US being occupied. I'm 90% certain it was made to scare patriots more than comment on Palestine or US imperialism, though. Then again, I've never looked into it... Might have to reinstall, if only for a temporary feeling that the US has got what it deserved


TiredAmerican1917

The elements from Palestine are definitely just placed for shock value and nothing more And the damn game ends by implying that the European Union is about to save the US. So basically Western imperialism is still alive and well even without the US as a superpower. Ugh


Old_Atmosphere224

This made me remember that the damned game was supposed to have a sequel/reboot. Hilariously, the developers must have decided that the DPRK wouldn't invade if it was communist, so they went and made it capitalist. I'm actually crying from laughter having just read that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homefront:_The_Revolution


TiredAmerican1917

Yea that one somehow made even less sense than the first one


RomanRook55

Tom clancy's: Ghost Recon 2?


TiredAmerican1917

Good guess but no


pizzahut_su

Could also be said that it's just Americans oppressing Koreans rebranded as Koreans oppressing Americans.


TiredAmerican1917

On a whole yea the Korean occupation of America definitely has elements of American atrocities like the nuclear bombing of Salt Lake City. The irradiated Mississippi River definitely reeks of American biological warfare against the DPRK. In game though itā€™s just way too similar to the West Bank and Gaza by Israel


OkNefariousness324

Jesus fucking Christ this game was so stupid, like how could anyone remotely take seriously North Korea invading and occupying the US? More Red Dawn propaganda bullshit. So glad I never played Homefront. Side note, I watched an interesting documentary about how the US army is involved with certain Hollywood studios and game studios to make pro US military propaganda. Itā€™s why movies and games almost always portray the US military in the best light and the enemy are always whoever the US says is the current boogeyman


holiestMaria

Whats the source on Homefront's inspiration being Israel?


TiredAmerican1917

Not really a source just how the occupation in game looks a lot like the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. With a wall surrounding the town and forced evacuations of residents


sandy-gc

Least it was different from the typical Arab or Russian enemy at the time lol


Hoshin0va_

Homefront: The Revolution is such a cool game conceptually (first person guerilla urban warfare resistance shooter) but it's so laughably braindead


Citizenwoof

Freedom Fighters?


TiredAmerican1917

Nah thatā€™s about the Soviets taking NYC


Urrfang

The soundtrack was so hard

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TiredAmerican1917

They were convinced at the time that the US and China were too interconnected with each other to ever go to war so instead they decided that the DPRK would be the country to invade the US

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TiredAmerican1917

CoD just did that with MW2 so they wanted to be ā€œdifferentā€


TenWholeBees

Good thing I didn't like Homefront as a kid then It reminded me of that movie where the Chinese invade America Both of which are so very obviously just anti-"Asian countries the US hates" propaganda. I had a family member in Vietnam, learned a lot from him, so when I saw Battlefield Vietnam, I felt very weird about it. As is, most any US based military game has us fighting Russians and Chinese already.


IrickTheGoodSoldier

Holy fuck really?
