5:35 this part gets me every time. Hearing that child scream after watching his parents get murdered is blood churning. It's not very often a video game can invoke an instant emotional response from me, but this part is simply too realistic. I appreciate the reality of showing such atrocities, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch just because it's a video game. This will forever be a gaming moment burned into my mind
5:35 my older brother had this game on his xbox 360 I played it when I was probably 8-9 and seeing that scene disturbed me so much I turned off the console lol
I was disturbed by this intro years ago. With all thats going on now military on the streets. I remember and had to see it again. I actually saw a guy with a red face mask today and got ptsd.
This game would be instant classic, if it wasn't another CoD clone at least in the gameplay aspect, but thats exactly what it is. It badly needed more scenes like these and less shooting gallery bullshit!
More games that make pathetic attempts to be "realisitic" need to follow this game's example. Mass Effect 3, Fable III, and Far Cry 6 are good examples; they tried to sell oppression and brutality against innocent civilians, and BLEW IT. This game succeeded.
Probably one of the most forgettable games I’ve ever played but that scene of those parents getting shot in front of their kid is still burned into my head all these years later.
Watching that intro video today gives me chills on real it seems Gas prices in the game is insane a flu kills millions and Korea starts world War 3 While right now we got the Corona virus, gas in many places is above 4$ and Russia/Ukraine war could drag us into it scary indeed
The part where the soldiers execute the kids parents in front of him are absolutely burned into my mind, idr anything from this game but t hat fucked up shit
When the soldiers murdered the kids parents, I was like : "These guys ain't living to see their love ones." Not the same what I say a long time ago, but seems more mature.
It's ok when we do it to other countries though, right? That's not savage at all. That's just American exceptionalism. www.nytimes.com/2012/03/12/world/asia/afghanistan-civilians-killed-american-soldier-held.html
Yeah, 5:35 is on my list of 'Good moments in bad games'. The sound and mocap on the child, the bus moving out of view just as he reaches his dead parents, the guard's just looking away when they're done, even the blood on the window the runner getting shot just a second ago. It, um, it's very affecting. I don't think I had even a second of sympathy for anyone I was fighting in the rest of game because of that.
Honestly if I had to guess though it isn't gonna be the N. Koreans that do this, it'll be the Chinese and the sad thing is we Americans have given them a right to do it. We've borrowed nearly 19 trillion from them how long does anyone think they will let that go?
Except the CCP is wildly unpopular, the Chinese economy is in shambles and Xi faces a real threat of being overthrown, if not by his CCP underlings than by the Chinese people themselves lol. There's not a chance in hell China or the PLA are going to attack America outright, certainly not invade the Continental US any time soon. Maybe they could do some serious damage to the US Military if we try to stop them taking Taiwan, with a battle on China's turf, far from our supply lines. Anyone who thinks America is at risk of being invaded by the PLA or China is living in fantasy land, there's less a chance of that than Ukraine's chance to beat Russia and most sane people should realize by now, that's never happening.
This was a good game but the story was really exaggerated, N. Korea dont have the resources to feed themselves and you tell me that they take the world XD
Originally it was supposed to be China invading and not NK. You can tell by the Type 99 tank, T3AK rifle (A Chinese clone of the AK-47) and the attack helicopter used by NK which is Chinese.
This is literally Israel, the supposed "only democracy in the Middle East" in the present timeline: Innocent civilians being shot when trying to flee? Check. AI-automated turrets? Check. Innocent civilians getting executed for the mere suspicion of being involved with a rebel group, even right in front of a child? Check.
Homefront predijo en 2010 la muerte de Kim Jong Il y la predecesión de Kim Jong Un, según la trama Kim Jong unificaría a las Koreas para declararle la guerra a EU, y al parecer, ganaron.
Forward to 2024 and some of you Americans think that communism is a good thing for you. I as an Balkan country can say that we barely escaped communism in our 1989 Revolution and the communism dictatorship ended in Eastern Europe in the Balkans in 1991 USSR ended but it left scars on us. Thanks to you Americans we have adopted Democracy and freedoom and we can never thank you enough. Thank you for setting us free from slavery. You will never be forgoten. This video game might be a video but it shows exactly how we used to live back in communism times. I hope you never choose the same mistake as we did in Europe. Thank you again America for setting us free
The stuff depicted in the intro scene is literally happening at present in the occupied West Bank, as part of a settler-colonial apartheid project funded by the US.
No, I see what she is saying. This shit is unfolding in life the way the game did. With of course a few differences. It’s not North Korea, though they have been flexing nuclear weaponry as of late… it’s a combination of both Russia and our own government.
@@Crlslzr that is correct if people pay attention in the intro they'll see that China's annexed to the unified Korea along with other nations in Asia! That's why the KPA (Korean People's Army) had such high numbers in the story because of other nations assisting them through annexation 💯👍

JayDee5290 this part its very sad, 😥
bro its pixels
Same. I played this game- what- like 6 years ago, and that is still the one part about the intro that I remembered before watching this today.
Ash Ketchum 😒
really makes me wish there was a mission to track down those 2 soldiers and do horrible things to them
the scariest part of this are the gas prices.
lmao
You should try the UK, with the tax on top of the "real" price you would have a heart attack!
We are gettin right here 😂
heh
About that

Yea me too. Its pretty callous.

It always had to me too, even though I'm not a parent.
Us soldiers don’t do stuff like that right ?…
@@dottormoggiwe do
The child watching his mother die is fucked up
Bob Miah I know that played with my heart
1:46 oh sweet irony....
hope th... you know, its best i dont say anything
Funny because it actually happened in 2020 😂
Shet...
Damn what a way to open a game!
Probably one of the most forgettable games I’ve ever played but that scene of those parents getting shot in front of their kid is still burned into my head all these years later.
This game almost predict future like
War, pandemic, high gas price and others
Meanwhile in Europe: GRAB THE POPCORN GUYS!
darwin poop I guarantee they were not saying that in 1941.
BarbaricMuffin Just like America in Vietnam.
If something like this happened, it ain't gonna be North Korea. But one should still be ready for anything.
very under rated game, this video is hard to watch actually.
Most brilliant game intro of its time. I still think about it
Haven't badguys learned by now? I'm pretty certain this is how you turn a kid into an asskicking vigilante.
So this where I first saw Hillary, thought I recognized that strumpet from somewhere.
Whos watching this in 2021??? Think they were letting us know about whats about to be
2022
almost 2025 and wrong lol none of this ever came close to happening
Watching that intro video today gives me chills on real it seems
Gas prices in the game is insane a flu kills millions and Korea starts world War 3
While right now we got the Corona virus, gas in many places is above 4$ and Russia/Ukraine war could drag us into it scary indeed

Some of this came true especially the gas prices
Did they get hillary Clinton to star in this game or was that just stock footage?
When the soldiers murdered the kids parents, I was like :
"These guys ain't living to see their love ones."
Not the same what I say a long time ago, but seems more mature.
5:40
yes, it is possible to be 'too' fucking savage
yeah that was a little much
And then that kid went on to become Batman
usual day for a German soldier, when they occupied us. when you can do whatever you want with conquered people, such things simply must happen.
It's ok when we do it to other countries though, right? That's not savage at all. That's just American exceptionalism. www.nytimes.com/2012/03/12/world/asia/afghanistan-civilians-killed-american-soldier-held.html
@@logancantdrive I think it was necessary. To combat such incomprehensible evil we must first be able to face it

No wonder why red dawn 2012 was inspired by homefront (2011)
Honestly if I had to guess though it isn't gonna be the N. Koreans that do this, it'll be the Chinese and the sad thing is we Americans have given them a right to do it. We've borrowed nearly 19 trillion from them how long does anyone think they will let that go?
smh
We have not borrowed 19 trillion dollars in debt most of that is owed to companys in the united states
The national debt doesn't work that way.
Keep your Political BS out of my escapism
Except the CCP is wildly unpopular, the Chinese economy is in shambles and Xi faces a real threat of being overthrown, if not by his CCP underlings than by the Chinese people themselves lol.

Well, I was mistaken for how absurdly arrogant North Korea is
I remember this game the mothers death still haunts me. (I played this at 8)
I have to wonder how they recorded that crying child.
This was a good game but the story was really exaggerated, N. Korea dont have the resources to feed themselves and you tell me that they take the world XD
well, look at Germany back in the day. this world so crazy bro all this outlandish shit be happening
Originally it was supposed to be China invading and not NK. You can tell by the Type 99 tank, T3AK rifle (A Chinese clone of the AK-47) and the attack helicopter used by NK which is Chinese.
Did u even watch the opening, bunch of countries joined force with NK. They probably forced to talk korean too.
i violently cried when they had shot his parents...
Project 2025 be like:
wooooow.... y did u stop recordin i was berrrr geting into it lol
So many hate this game, I like. I fucking like.
Whose watching this now after the cyber attack on the east coast pipeline hack
Why is Kim Jong Un so skinny?
As our real life world... falls apart.
What makes it even worse is the fact that we're getting there
Yeah, but not with Korea ^^
@D.M.S. true but i mean it's either China or Russia...
@@Purge_Punk_Hyena_1999
No, this shit is literally happening in Israel to .
I it me seems like this happening......just there is no union
this looks like what I fear America will become if we lose our second amendment and constitution,just replace the KPA with DHS
No, the CCP.
Intro is hard to watch, fuck...
1:15 i bet she has nice feet
Bro what
Man, we really overestimated the North Koreans back in the early 2010s.
Good thing Trump put a stop to that
Had she won... 😨 We are watching "the plan" and how it was supposed to go down.
But China is coming nex5
THIS VIDEO IS THE WORDT THING EVER
Liberals and Conservatives: we want our country to be safe and secure, Communism/Fascism is the only way.
Communism and Fascism: 5:38
I don't get why leftist are called 'liberals'. Hayek, Mises, Friedman, they were liberals, not internet socjal justice warriors.
This is literally Israel, the supposed "only democracy in the Middle East" in the present timeline:
Innocent civilians being shot when trying to flee? Check.
AI-automated turrets? Check.
Innocent civilians getting executed for the mere suspicion of being involved with a rebel group, even right in front of a child? Check.
The gunplay and sound are solid but levels design is too linear like CoD.
Symbolism
This plot of the game is super unrealistic, there is no way N. Korea is a joke.

So unrealistic lmao
If she had won this would be more than realistic. It would have been reality. It was part of the "16 year plan"
@@KilSmiley what 16 year plan ?
@@aligmal5031 the 16 year plan to destroy America
Have you payed attention to the news the last couple of years?
THis is disgusting this is really happening its not a game

Louisa Hassall 6 years later, still think it’s real huh?

Because the real country its China.
