* [[spoiler:TheHeroDies: 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.]]

* MegaCorp: The APEX Corporation. Initially, it was just like Apple Inc. (creating next gen smart phones, computers, and web services) in which it was mainly responsible for North Korea's technological prosperity to the point that it became culturally entwined with the nation. But under the reign of its CEO John Tae-se, 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.

* AlternateHistory: More so than in ''Homefront''. North Korea lost the Korean War but embraced a progressive 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 corpocracy. 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 WarOnTerror 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.

* FallenStatesOfAmerica: Although not as bad in the previous game, America was rendered into poverty due to bad timing between the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and then President John [=McCain's=] unwavering commitment to the troop surge in the Middle East.

* LesCollaborateurs: Mayor Simpson is the most prominent example of Americans that sided with the Koreans. This can be attributed to how the Koreans were offering a tempting opportunity to impoverished and disillusioned Americans.
** [[spoiler:James Crawford, the Resistance mole posing as a collaborator, turns out to be one the entire time.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Ben Walker is never heard again after the Resistance discovered that he was taken somewhere else and is forced to become serve as the KPA's propagandist. Later subverted in the Aftermath DLC, which focus on Brady trying to rescue Walker.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: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 gas.]]

* AbortedArc: [[spoiler:Brady and the Resistance spent half of the main story trying to rescue Ben Walker until they found out that Walker was taken to somewhere else after they fell into a trap and leading to the Resistance almost being crush by the KPA thanks to a traitor.]]

** In the Beyond the Walls DLC, the Resistance are given another chance to liberate America with the help of NATO, who have decided to launch an invasion force against the KPA in America. [[spoiler:But Brady dies for allowing this to happen.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Half-way through the main story is Brady and the Resistance trying to rescuing Ben Walker. But their mission became nil after falling into a trap and learning that Walker was taken to somewhere else and is forced to serve as the KPA's propagandist. Later subverted in the Aftermath DLC, as Brady refocus on rescuing Walker.]]

* EliteMooks: Black-armored [=KPA=] Captains can survive nearly twice as much damage as regular enemies, even being able to survive one sniper rifle shot to the torso.

** In the Beyond the Walls DLC, the Resistance are given another chance to strike back at the KPA with the help of NATO, who have decided to launch an invasion force against the KPA in America. [[spoiler:But Brady dies for allowing this to happen.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Sam Burnett finally cut his ties with the Resistance after their murder of Mayor Simpson caused the KPA to gas Philadelphia.]]

** In the Beyond the Walls DLC, the Resistance, despite liberating Philadelphia, couldn't hold the city long enough against the more technologically superior KPA; in which the Resistance is almost cease to exist after the KPA apparently learned from their lesson in Philadelphia and have been brutally crushing every Resistance-control city.

* WesternTerrorists: In contrast to the original Homefront, in ''The Revolution'' almost all of the main villains seem to be white American collaborators, with the [=KPA=] serving largely as faceless masked goons.

** Averted in the ''Aftermath'' DLC as Brady is now capable of speaking. Parrish even lampshade this: "I preferred it when you kept your mouth shut."

* ReverseMole: Robert Crawford acting out as a collaborator. [[spoiler:Ultimately revealed to be a DoubleAgent working for Mayor Simpson]].
