In short, the Planet Earth has become a giant fracking battlefield, or at least a significantly widespread number of sections of it have. The causes of war can range from countries engaging in a wide conflict to an Alien Invasion. When Earth is subject to this trope, it's hard to find anywhere on the planet where there isn't violent fighting going on. Anywhere you do find that's peaceful now could easily become thick with fighting at a moment's notice, if it wasn't thick with fighting previously. Nobody on Earth is untouched by loss of loved ones. Name is a pun on both the Pat Benatar song "Love Is a Battlefield" and Battlefield Earth, neither of which have anything to do with this trope. Often involves Humans Are Warriors. |

Invoked in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, where the first sector of the Schwartzweld, Antlia, is modeled after a burning warzone. The reason? Its Tyrant, Morax, is the embodiment of humanity's warlike nature. | |

"Tarkin's Fist": The Empire-Earth war begins with an orbital bombardment of Earth's major cities and military installations. The war develops into a three front conflict. Front one consists of an invasion of the Western Coast of the United States, targeting Los Angeles before pushing inland towards Las Vegas. Front two consists of an invasion of China focusing on Shanghai and pushes as far as Wuhu by the Yangtze river. Both fronts serve to tie down the North American Union and the People's Republic of China and prevent them from intervening in the third theater of the war; an island hopping campaign across the Pacific islands designed to abduct as many people as possible for slave labor needed to develop the new Imperial economy on Mars. | |

Probably the Seven Hour War from the Half-Life 2 backstory, though it was more of a Curb-Stomp Battle. A more straightforward example is the uprising in the more recent games. It's humanity vs the Combine, and it's unlikely that the fighting is restricted to Eastern Europe only. | |

Coreline: When Dimensions Collide, the result is every bad guy in almost known work of fiction of humanity fighting against every good guy in almost every known work of fiction of humanity, with an awful lot of people stuck in the middle (and either self-enforcing "Took a Level in Badass" or die). This is a conflict that has gone through hot and cold cycles, with the "CHIMERA War" arc starting on Coreline Operation Snake Charmer and ending on Coreline Operation Endgame being the latest "hot" period. | |

The SCP Foundation features SCP-5000, a mechanical suit the Foundation found which includes logs and files from an alternate reality where the Foundation declares a war of extermination on the rest of humanity for an unknown reason. In this alternate reality, using the anomalous items they collected, the Foundation started doing everything it could to kill as many people as possible all over the world, such as spreading memetic hazards on the internet, releasing infectious anomalies in large cities, triggering the eruption of Yellowstone, and even releasing/resurrecting hostile deities. | |

This trope is played straight in Super Dimension Fortress Macross/Robotech, in which all of Earth bombarded and devastated in a planet wide assault. Furthermore, this experience was the driving reason in the aborted sequel Robotech: The Sentinels for the heroes to lead a major armed expedition to the Robotech Masters' world. Ostensibly, the major goal is to come to an accord with that power, but if it comes to fighting, then at least their world will be the battlefield this time. The Macross continuity has humanity specifically anticipating this to happen again in the future and taking precautions. | |

In seven years, the world becomes a wasteland in the war between the angelic forces of Jesus and the demonic armies of the Antichrist. One battle is mentioned, the "Battle of Boca Raton". | |

The appropriately named Worldwar series has alien landings in sites across the world in the middle of 1942. It's debatable whether this trope applies after the first three months of war: during that time the alien Race conquer and subdue most nations apart from the great powers who were mobilized to fight World War II. However, partisan resistance continues everywhere, the area Turtledove mostly writing about being China. | |

Halo: In the beginning of Halo 2, the Covenant launch a small preliminary assault on Earth which turns out to have been by accident, as the invasion fleet wasn't actually expecting to find any humans. By the beginning of Halo 3, this has become a full-blown invasion, with cities all over the world overrun by the Covenant. | |

Mass Effect 3 itself starts with the Reapers invading Earth. Over the course of the game, you hear from Anderson, who is leading a global resistance movement that's fighting back against the Reapers as best as they can, even when indoctrinated authority figures attempt to criminalize doing so. Then the final battle takes place in London, which looks rather like it's been hit with many, many hammers for a period of several weeks. | |

Most Gundam series involve a world war that engulfs the Earth and the space colonies in the "Earth Sphere"—often using one "battlefield" as a weapon against the other. In particular, the rules for the Gundam Fight of G Gundam state that "Earth is the ring"... shown by the existence of laser boxing-ring ropes circling the planet, which a Gundam actually bounces off. Most of the well-off people live in space colonies. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury has all of Earth engulfed in a Forever War engineered by the space colonists for their own profit. | |

In BattleTech, Terra, while normally a very stable location, has been site to some of the largest and most horrific battles in the Inner Sphere courtesy of the Sol system being the most developed system in known space. The Amaris Civil War resulted in the largest space battle ever recorded and a two year campaign on the surface to take out Amaris the Usurper, in a war that would kill millions. The Word of Blake Jihad caused two separate wars, and the last of which had the Word of Blake use nuclear, biological, chemical, and orbital weaponry. | |

The Command & Conquer series. The Tiberium series and Generals were global from the beginning. The Red Alert series was confined to Europe in the first game but quickly went global in its latter two installments. Most of the fighting in the Generals series happens in China, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The Zero Hour expansion pack takes this further: the United States has a mission in Somalia, the GLA visits the continental US to steal their newest weapon and then attacks Greece & Germany, while four-fifths of the Chinese campaign happens in Germany (the other one-fifth occurs in western China, probably the Xinjiang region). | |

Warhammer 40,000 has a whole galaxy in constant war. Earth itself, on the other hand is relatively safe by Warhammer 40K standards, though back in the Age of Strife, around ten thousand years ago, it was divided into warring techno-barbarian empires that only stopped when the Emperor arrived to conquer it all and stop the fighting. | |

Legacy of the Aldenata does this, with Posleen landings all over the place generally making life rather suck for most humans. | |

In the Grand Finale of Justice League Unlimited, "Destroyer", the entire League as well as the surviving remnants of the Legion of Doom team up and spread out across the entire world to battle the Forces of Apokolips, led by Darkseid. | |

Critters: Alien bounders wreck the countryside hunting the aliens, with humans caught in the crossfire. | |

The X-COM series is a prime example of this trope, where Earth is in the midst of a full-scale invasion of numerous alien species, so in essence, it seems that Earth has become China during the Mongol conquest. | |

Battlefield Earth, albeit in the past tense (humanity was curb-stomped long before the plot gets going). | |

In the final episode of Jormungand, nearly every continent has descended into this. A "New USSR" and the United States are locked in a second Cold War, the Indo-Pakistan conflict has started anew, a sixth Arab–Israeli Conflict has erupted in the Middle East, China has suffered an economic crash, race riots are breaking out in Indonesia, drug cartels and left-wing terrorists have turned much of Latin America into a smoking wasteland, the same can be said of Africa as its many civil wars have escalated, and Europe is under siege by a massive new spate of terrorism to the point that Big Ben has been destroyed. The only continents that seem untouched are Antarctica and Oceania. | |

Terminator Salvation makes the trope particularly clear, with a radio message being received by sparse resistance fighters across the entire planet. | |

In most Transformers incarnations, the Autobots and Decepticons take their fights to Earth, usually to grab whatever MacGuffin happens to be there. | |
