Homefront: The Revolution is a Continuity Reboot to the 2011 videogame Homefront. It is 2029, four years into the Korean invasion of the United States, Philadelphia is under occupation by the KPA. The new Philadelphia is a heavily policed and oppressed environment, with civilians living in fear as the KPA patrol multiple districts in the city. In the city, a second rebellion is brewing and the resistance grows stronger. The story follows Ethan Brady, a young resistance members as he and the new resistance attempt to retake Philadelphia.The Revolution is a retcon of the original Homefront in regarding to the universe's backstory, but follows the same premise. Originally developed by Crytek, the production was affected by financial issues until the game was eventually sold to Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver. | |

SilentProtagonist | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_106381c4 | comment |
Silent Protagonist: Ethan Brady, the protagonist of the main campaign, never speaks, even when doing so would seem to be rather important (such as when a Resistance leader is threatening to slice off his penis because she thinks he's a Korean spy). Averted with Ben Walker in The Voice of Freedom DLC; the first few minutes make it seem that he's going to be a silent protagonist for no clear reason, but he starts speaking after the first combat encounter and continues to talk like a normal person for the duration of the DLC. Suddenly Voiced: Averted in the Aftermath DLC as Brady is now fully voiced. Parrish even lampshade this: "I preferred it when you kept your mouth shut." | |

Empire with a Dark Secret | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_11dd3268 | comment |
Empire with a Dark Secret: While it isn't a secret that the KPA won't take kindly to Americans who resisted their rule, they have a contingency plan to release nerve gas on American cities that the KPA felt they couldn't control; in which they have secretly done this to Boston and Pittsburgh. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: It seems that almost 1/3rd of the game's side missions are climbing puzzles. Imagine having to do Far Cry radio tower puzzles while dealing with infinite respawning enemies at the same time. | |

This Loser Is You | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_15184afb | comment |
This Loser Is You: The Korean occupation is a reflection on post-9/11 U.S. foreign policy and the habit of embedding soldiers overseas, and the game explores what it would be like if the situation were reversed. | |

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_15264ac9 | comment |
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: In gameplay, the enemies will adapt based on whatever strategy you use. For example, if you use a sniper rifle, they will call in a counter-sniper team and artillery to flush you out. If you go up-close, they'll call in armored soldiers. That way, the player has to keep changing strategies. In the Beyond the Walls DLC, the Resistance, despite liberating Philadelphia, is still outclassed by the more technologically and numerically superior KPA; in which the Resistance were almost cease to exist after the KPA apparently learned from their lesson in Philadelphia and have been brutally crushing every Resistance-controlled city. The Resistance could only survive when NATO finally goes to war against the KPA. | |

Heavily Armored Mook | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_1d364dbd | comment |
Heavily Armored Mook: Heavy Troopers armed with light machineguns are one of the enemy types you'll be facing. They resist headshots and can soak close to a full mag of assault rifle fire before falling. They can be killed with a few bullets to the power pack on their backs, or by destroying their armored faceplate and shooting them in the face. | |

Regenerating Health | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_1f92e4c6 | comment |
Regenerating Health: The last 20% of your health regenerates, but this is only enough to survive about 1 or 2 shots before you die. You're reliant on using health kits to restore the majority of your health, and health kits are harder to obtain and you can carry less of them compared to, say, Far Cry 3 and 4. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: More or less than in Homefront. The 2003 invasion of Iraq exacerbated with almost the entire Middle East against the United States. Riyadh was nuked by a smuggled Iranian nuclear bomb, which lead to absolute unrest in the U.S. combined with the subprime mortgage crisis, and forcing the nation to enacting a state of emergency and suspending the 2016 Presidential Elections. North Korea is under the rule of a Mega-Corp that produces the world's highest demanding technology, which are chipped and secretly monitored from North Korea, and successfully conquered America by simply turning off the U.S. military's APEX hardware. The United Nations remains helpless as the world is controlled by APEX technology, Russian-owned oil, and Chinese manufacturing. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: The giant airships that patrol certain maps. Sometimes you get a warning on the radio that one is approaching, but other times you're mostly just minding your own business or you're in the middle of a firefight, and the airship's lights happen to catch you, and blasts a loud alarm to alert an endless spawn of KPA troops to your location. You can outrun the searchlight on a bike, but on foot, your best bet is to hide in a covered building until the airship gives up its pursuit and continues its patrol. Unfortunately you can't shoot them down either with anything short of a surface-to-air missile. | |

Hidden Depths: Parrish repeatedly states that he's no good with words and that's why they need Walker. After Dana kills Simpson he is forced to give an impromptu speech and, while it is a bit awkward in delivery, it ends up being not half bad and is quite inspirational to the people of the city. | |

The Hero Dies: Brady is killed in the Beyond the Wall DLC in which he becomes trapped in a launch shaft of a missile silo that is instrumental in allowing NATO forces to battle the KPA and a final chance to liberating America. Because of how utterly important this is, Brady willingly urged for the missile to launch while knowing that he will die from the incineration. | |

Grey-and-Grey Morality: The American Resistance often resort to guerilla warfare and terrorist acts to reach they goal to liberate America (which, according to the backstory, wasn't exactly a saint either), while the KPA/APEX are justified for their invasion of America given that the US is under crushing debt that had yet to be paid. That being said the KPA/APEX will resort to genocide in attempt to repel dissidents and rebels. | |

| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: North Korea lost the Korean War and abandoned its communist ideology which allowed the nation to become a progressive and free marketing society similar to Japan. However, this allowed the country to be dominated by a Mega-Corp. Apollo 10 ended in disaster because of shoddy engineering in attempting to play catch up with the Soviets. The results had the U.S. discontinuing its space program and the Soviets landing on the moon first. APEX, the Mega-Corp mentioned in the game, hired programmers, including in what would be in Real Life key Microsoft and Apple figures, thus essentially dominating the computer industry. North Korea through APEX also created the Internet rather than the US. John McCain won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections. Under his administration, he kept the U.S. military committed in the Middle East despite the massive costs combined with the mortgage crisis, and was responsible for U.S. spending on APEX technologies. The resulting economic meltdown causes McCain to cancel the 2016 Presidential Elections and declare a state of emergency before resigning in disgrace. | |

Eagleland | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_7a17d1ca | comment |
Eagle Land: Deconstructed. The America in the backstory is a warmongering boorish country to the point that the War on Terror became a full-scale war that strained the US economy even further, and the US in the universe isn't even the technological spearhead, but became indebted to KPA/APEX on the technology side a lot to the point that when America failed to pay the debt, the KPA/APEX launched a full-scale invasion unhindered as the tech is controlled by the KPA/APEX who easily turned off America's military hardware. There the KPA/APEX gives the impoverished people aid while massively gassing out dissidents and those who refuse to serve KPA/APEX. The deconstruction shows how the US' boorish acts invite brutal retaliations once the US is on the weak side. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Parish succeed in convincing the citizens of Philadelphia to rebel, but never intended to have Mayor Simpson publicly killed on television because of Dana's very troubled past with Simpson. Either way, the KPA are not happy and they respond by gassing the entire city; in which this was forewarned by Simpson, who used his authority to ensure Philadelphia wouldn't be gassed. | |

| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_80580ffe | comment |
Optional Stealth: In some maps, you can rush in guns blazing and complete missions this way. But on other maps, you're encouraged to blend in and take a more stealthy approach. You can still go in guns blazing if you'd really like, but on those maps the KPA will spawn endlessly and you may suffer a Death by a Thousand Cuts due to being attacked constantly. Fortunately for those missions you can often find a hiding spot to duck in/under until the heat dies down. | |

Villain with Good Publicity: One of the reasons that the KPA/APEX were able to take control of America is due to gaining the trust of the American people with promise of providing food, medical aid, and jobs. Beyond the Wall DLC averts this with the rest of the NATO without America knowing that the KPA/APEX is up to no good and its trying to contact the American resistance. | |

Homemade Flamethrower: A homebrew flamethrower is one of the available weapons on hand, but the player must first purchase the crossbow. Naturally and fittingly, it inherits the gas pump handle/grip used as the base for the crossbow and other related weaponry. It's gas is carried in a medium-sized horizontal green jerry can with the nozzle/barrel being a whole emptied fire extinguisher. | |

Hide Your Children: It's mentioned that all children have been relocated away from the cities by the KPA to re-education camps in the countryside, ostensibly because the cities are too unstable due to terrorist activity, but it's strongly suggested they're actually being kept as hostages to ensure compliance from the citizenry, if they haven't actually been Released to Elsewhere. | |

Alternate History | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: More so than in Homefront. North Korea survived the Korean War but embraced a progressive/neo-liberal free market economy and underwent a period of economic and technological growth in the 1970's that is not unlike the Japanese economic miracle. Kim Il-sung lost credibility after failing to respond to a series of major floods damaging the country and got replaced by a progressive government. However, North Korea is currently ruled by a corporatocracy. South Korea itself wasn't integrated or annexed unlike Homefront, but became a peaceful ally with North Korea in 1997. The Soviet Union is still alive and kicking in the 21st century after they became the first nation to land on the moon and controlling much of the Middle East's oil reserves. The existence of APEX Corporation, a Mega-Corp that became the aforementioned corporatocracy that ruled North Korea, basically negates America's leading computer and network technology, including the existence of Silicon Valley in San Francisco, with Ryesong River's "Silicon River" taking the place instead. Corporations like Google, Apple, and Microsoft also don't exist as well as in this continuity the APEX Corporation took its place instead. The War on Terror went out of hand as the 2003 invasion of Iraq (which the country was militarily supported by the Soviets) brought the U.S. into further interventions in almost the entire Middle East including Iran, Syria, and Egypt. John McCain won the 2008 Presidential Elections and refused to back down America's military commitment in the Middle East. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_a89efe3c | comment |
Unusable Enemy Equipment: APEX technology is specifically designed this way. This is the very reason why the United States lose is because of its entire military that is heavily dependent on APEX technology in which they are secretly installed with a chip that could be remotely turn off by its creators. When the U.S. refused to follow North Korea's demands, the APEX Corporation began to shut down the entire U.S. military. This leave America totally defenseless as North Korean troops began to land on American soil unimpeded. This is also the reason why America's allies can not help prevent the invasion is because they are also dependent on APEX technology, or else they will suffer the same fate as America. | |

But under the reign of Joe Tae-se's son John, APEX established an arms industry that produces high-tech weapons that are highly demand in the world (and are secretly monitored and capable of being remotely turn off by its creators), and Tae-se became Premier of North Korea. | |

Retcon: As aforementioned in the game's alternate history. North Korea is ruled by the APEX Corporation and follows a technocratic ideology rather than Juche ideology. The United States, more or less, suffered the same fate in the original game, but it was the country's unwavering commitment in the War on Terror combined with the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis that caused the U.S. to be economically impoverished and greatly indebted to North Korea for investing trillions of dollars worth of APEX technology. Which in turn gave North Korea's casus belli to invade the U.S. for not paying its dues. | |

Embedded Precursor | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_c264d50a | comment |
Embedded Precursor: A hidden arcade machine in the game's last free-roaming area will let you play a fully functional emulation of TimeSplitters 2, although only the prologue and first couple of levels are playable. Dambuster Studios used to be Free Radical Designs, until they crashed financially, were bought out by Crytek, then split off again due to Crytek's own financial issues. May also be a case of Ascended Fanfic, as the groundwork for porting the content from the original TimeSplitters PS2 games to the Cryengine was already being laid by the Timesplitters: Rewind fan project team. The game files actually include the entirety of Timesplitters 2, as the entire story campaign and arcade mode can be unlocked with cheat codes. However, the game is not stable (levels crash when Reaper Timesplitters teleport in) which is probably why only the first two levels were made normally available. A fan made patch makes all unlocks available without having to use the cheat codes and also fixes most of the crashes (except for the Neo Tokyo level), but requires some degree of computer savvy to install it. A later, more extensive mod, Timesplitters 2: Redux, fixes the remaining major bugs and allows the story mode to be played from beginning to end. | |

Cutscene Incompetence: In the opening scene, Ben Walker, the heroic leader of the Resistance, gets into a one-on-one fight with just one random Korean mook and is quickly overpowered and nearly killed, only surviving because Brady intervenes. This serves to emphasize the fact your enemies are professional soldiers, while you and your allies are not. Though soon afterwards you'll be mowing them down by the dozens just like any other FPS player character. In the game's ending, the exact same thing happens to Brady, who gets overpowered and choked unconscious by a nameless mook. Fortunately, Parrish shows up and saves Brady, in a reversal of the opening scene. | |

Pretext for War | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_e22dae0a | comment |
Pretext for War: North Korea invaded the United States was because the latter was unable to repay its trillions of dollars in war debt to the former. Furthermore, the North Koreans insisted that the occupation was to help the U.S. recover from its financial ruin to be able to repay its debt. Initially this was true on North Korea's part, but over time the Koreans start to abuse their power and placing America under their control. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Joe Tae-se sounds odd for a Korean name, and implied that the surname was Tae-se, when Koreans usually have single syllable names and the surname should come first. The practice of combining Western first name with local surname are something that practiced by Hong Kong and Taiwan, particularly movie localizers and publishers, rather than Korean. | |

Expy: The APEX Corporation is basically a Korean Mega-Corp version of Apple Inc. Its founder Joe Tae-se is the North Korean analogue of Steve Jobs. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: At the end of the game Jack Parrish is riddled with assault rifle bullets, and seemingly dies after some dramatic last words. Minutes later, he's recovered enough to walk a few hundred feet through an active warzone, climb a couple stories of stairs, and save Brady from being choked out by a KPA soldier. He's clearly weakened, but otherwise seems in reasonable health. Except not, in the DLC Parrish is alive, but he is on a wheelchair and his arm is broken. | |

0% Approval Rating: Mayor Simpson is not liked at all by the citizens of Philadelphia aside from some collaborators. Ironically he's also the reason the KPA hasn't just outright gassed all of Philadelphia, as he's trying to hold the peace and crack down on terrorist attacks by Americans. | |

Random Event | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_f9a49c92 | comment |
Random Event: On some maps, a "Flashpoint" may occur. It typically consists of killing some KPA troops that have cornered some resistance members in a weapon stash location, or the KPA attempting to launch some chemical weapons on civilians via rockets. Those events are completely optional, though the game will try to make you feel bad if you ignore them or take too long to finish it by telling you the resistance members were overrun, or that they're going to need a lot of gas masks for the chemicals the KPA launched. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Homefront: The Revolution (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: KPA invaded the United States and placing it under occupation is to help the country recover from its crumbling infrastructure and will leave the country after America has sufficiently repay its debt. That's the official explanation, at least. The fact that the KPA have secretly murdered millions of American civilians with nerve gas indicates that, whatever their original motives may or may not have been, at this point it's all about power. A KPA collaborator even compares what the KPA are going to do to Americans to what the Americans did to the Native Americans, though he was making a point about the futility of the Resistance rather than making an official policy statement. Mayor Simpson claims that whatever cruelty and oppression he's committed to snuff out the Resistance, it was all necessary to protect everyone, because the KPA secretly use nerve gas to wipe out any cities they feel they are losing control of. | |
