Homefront Multiplayer Carnage Trailer

****Press Kit No copyright---Fair Use****
Homefront is set in a near future America in 2027 when a nuclear-armed Korean People's Army invades the USA.

Homefront is speculative fiction, set in a near-future, post peak oil world that features a significantly declined United States, and a united Korea that has built a massive alliance in East Asia. The Gate Corporation (a major private military company) also plays a minor role. The game focuses on the collapse of the United States, subsequent occupation by the Greater Korean Republic - a united Korea under the rule of North Korea - and the American Resistance that fights said occupation. The player is invited to join the American resistance, "using guerrilla tactics, commandeering military vehicles, and utilizing advanced drone technology", but the player may join the North Korean Forces as well but only in multiplayer matches. The game will also feature vehicle based 32 player online warfare using dedicated servers. The game is planned to ship on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

North Korea invading the US? It would be more likely to have an army of unicorns!

I don't get why game developers are so unimaginative. Russian, China etc. Maybe reality is too scary, so we have to keep the cold war fairy tale.
