Ugghhh... I'm not willing to pay $60 for another 6 hour long FPS, so I'll pass despite the lack of steroids.
Now if this game were an open world........

THQ Promises No "Steroided-Out" Flag-Wavers in Homefront
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
It's almost like they looked at their own trailer, noticed the American flag in the letters and the clichéd 'America's real life Communist enemies are the evil bad guys' plot, then realised how Jingoistic it is and released a press statement to the contrary.
It sounds like they're trying to convince themselves with that press statement or getting in there first by refuting criticism before it's made.

OT: Looks interesting. Hope it's good enough to get to sequal stage.
The American flag in the title could've fooled me, I shall be honest.
But, I might just give this a look, now...

I thought Frontlines was a fine game. Especially for a new IP from a new company. Loved the RC gadgets lol.Korten12 said:Well I am loving Frontlines, so I hope this is good also.Andy Chalk said:
This game sounds quite similar to Turning Point in terms of story. Just not Nazi's invading.
I wouldn't be too sure this'll be the one to break that cycle though - it game tries to potray America as in danger from N. Korea and how the "Big Bad Koreans" are threating America...so, its the superpower victim syndrome again.Furburt said:
Btw, I don't support N. Korea, its just that their not "Big Bad", their out teched and lead by frankly insane folk.
Not nessecarilly, while i can think of no reason to invade the U.S. they (the greater korean republic) would certainly have the man power for it.megs1120 said:
Now that's a setting we haven't seen very often. Guns of Navarone in gameform? A guerilla-style WW2 shooter set in the Mediterranean? Dibs!Vhite said:
I'd rather have a game where the Americans are the enemies.
I'm sure there are some of them out there, but I'd like more of them.
Maybe a story where America assassinates Kim Jong-Il for "The greater good", but then riots break out in North Korea and everything turns into chaos. A new dictator tries to use the chaos to make an attempt at uniting South and North Korea under his rule, but ultimately fails, and the complete opposite happens, with North and South uniting under South rule.
Several years later, Korea has become much better off, but the public still hold a grudge against America for essentially causing the war between North and South, as well as the chaos and riots previous to that, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands Koreans. America has become much weaker since then, and Korea sees its chance at attacking.
Then you play as a Korean soldier who lost his family because of the riots after Kim Jong-Il's death, and he is eager for payback.
