THQ Promises No "Steroided-Out" Flag-Wavers in Homefront
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Well, I suppose North Korea would have the manpower for it if they got the Chinese Peoples Army to join up like they did when the McArthur stupidly crossed the Yalu River and singlehandedly lost the Korean War.Evil mr dave said:
The big issues are that...
#1 The Chinese and North Koreans have no high seas fleet to speak of, rendering them unable to adequately project power, much less move millions of troops halfway around the world for an invasion.
#2 The USA is a terrible target. It simply covers too much landmass and is too well defended, from the military to the national guard all the way down to local militias.
It's just so silly.
another game where America is invaded by communists?
Off the top of my head...
Red Alert 2
World in Conflict
That Xbox game, with communists in New York...
Isn't there a wikipedia page listing these?
Also, I just watched that trailer. what. the. fuck.
That game better go the RA2 comedy route, because there's no way anyone could take that seriously.
Woo, homefront london? closer, but I'd still rather see london burn to the ground.

Yeah, because the rest of the world really wants to play another game about saving some foreign nation from commies. You can say whatever the hell you like, but over here it still looks like jingoism. Unless it's "Apache helicopter civillian killing with joking, the game", it's going to look like jingoism.Andy Chalk said:

One good thing about living in the UK is that we are so unimportant and overlooked, we'll never be bothered.
I like that description of steroided-out flag-wavers.
Sounds quite interesting, but again, I doubt Korea's ability in this regard, even reunited. I suppose you need to choose out of the "Big Three Enemy Countries of Modern Settings" though (no Nazis or PMCs here), which means Russia, the generic Middle Eastern country or North Korea. I play far too many games with the former two, and only one with the latter (Mercenaries), since my computer would commit bloody seppuku if I put Crysis in.
The one to do with London would be pretty good, but only if they draft in people from other regions of the country, because I'm not going to last through cockneys with the odd posh person (and if Americans are voice-acting posh soldiers, that will be terrible to hear) for a whole game.

I prefer my pitch for the Bioshock 3 story where the Big Daddy's daughter from Bioshock 2 has to destroy the fascistic empire of the main character from the first game (Because the evil ending in that one would be canon). He would have conquered the world through several years of hijacking nuclear submarines with his army of splicers, and have built a massive evil tower of doom stretching from the bottom of the sea to the high clouds of the sky.Furburt said:
It would tie in with Anarchy being in the first game and communism being in the first, as well as provide a new setting.
To be honest that doesn't really mean anything, nathan drake (from uncharted) isn't really buff but he kills people just as easily as the super soldiers from gears of war.
"steroided-out, super-soldier, waving the American flag"
That makes me think Gears of War more than Call of Duty. Anyway, this game will probably end up just like Call of Duty, Metal of Honor, and Battlefield in terms of game play and style.

Wait..I thought the point of COD was not to be like a American super soldier in MOH. THQ should have done their homework.
I am, to be frank, insulted by how many people here speak favorably of North Korea. So okay, the United States have totally screwed up their reputation in the latest ten years - but North Korea is a brutal, opressive dictatorship that puts absolutely no value on a human life. You guys are just... ugh. I can't even pick the right words. Go educate yourself - watch some documentaries on the subject, or something.
Good to know. Seeing as being patriotic in most games equals being a complete moron, the less there is the better. It's hard to relate or sympathize with people who run straight over open ground at machinegun nests (see killzone 2, world at war and resistance 2).
Or Team America.Kollega said:
I'm still not sure whether or not I believe Kim Jong-Il to be a cockroach or not.
You realize that Japan has a much much much smaller military force than North Korea right? And the Japanese are prohibited by international law to spend more than a pittance on their JSDF forces?this isnt my name said:
