Talk:Call of Duty: The Homeland

Note: The campaign should be based from the events in Kyiv Mapping's Alternate Future of YOUR World in Countryballs Chapter 25 The Homeland.

Lore of the making of this game
Activision decided to rebel against the CCP by releasing an anti-CCP COD game on October 1, 2024, the 75th anniversary of the founding of the PRC. The game's plot and the setting were not known until Activision released a trailer with references to the storyline of the campaign of this game. When the campaign was known to the public, the pro-CCP camp, the PRC, reacted in anger against the creation of Call of Duty: The Homeland by Activision, and Chinese state media especially Global Times has called the game "racist", "anti-China", etc. All Activision games have been banned and made illegal in China. Tencent, who owned 5% of Activision, decided to use its 5% ownership in desperation to change the campaign and release date of this game, but Activision has publicly refused. In response, Tencent sold its 5% ownership of Activision, with its CEO Pony Ma calling Activision "evil" and "enemy of 1.4 billion Chinese people". Its subsidiary TiMi Studios, which developed COD Mobile, has also announced to sever ties with Activision and ceded CODM publishing rights to Activision.

On the other side, on the not CCP side, the game has been very popular especially in Asia-Pacific (except Mainland China) where the game's campaign takes place. The game has been praised by many gamers from the West and Asia-Pacific for its campaign and its prominent representation of Asian-Pacific countries and its military, signaling Activision's transition from just using the US as the main protagonist in its previous games.

Kyiv Mapping, the creator of the Alternate Future of YOUR World in Countryballs series, on which Activision has based its game's storyline, especially Chapter 25: The Homeland in which China has declared war on Taiwan and caused the PTO (Pacific Treaty Organization) to intervene, has been given a free copy of the game and its DLCs by Activision.
