THQ's Homefront 2/Wow Moments

**Document Status: Yellow [Needs updating with agreed per-level ideas]**

## What are they?

* “Wow” moments can be anything from a stunning view suddenly opening up to an amazing canned animation or an incredibly exciting piece of gameplay.
* Not all levels need a “Wow” moment. It’s better to have a smaller number of memorable sequences than a greater number of lesser ones

## Intro 1

* At the end of the chase the player’s car is blown off the road by an explosion
* The player sees (in first person) himself rolling down a steep slope as their car crumples and comes apart around them before being thrown clear of the wreckage as it tumbles off a sheer drop

## Intro 2

* As civilians start to loot a food truck halted by the KPA while they capture Walker, Goliath is called in to restore order
* Tear gas is deployed and people are knocked flying
* Bricks are thrown at the huge drone causing it to open fire indiscriminately
* The player runs for it as rockets explode around them and whizz right past them
* The player runs right into a KPA soldier and is forced to kill for the first time

## Shipyard

* The initial vista of the double aircraft carriers

* Operating the giant dockyard crane to create a bridge into the side of the Carrier

* Escaping the might of the KPA using Goliath whilst being driven in a fast car, and bringing down a giant crane in the process

## Samaritan

* The player sees bombs going off and apartment blocks collapsing right in front of them as a wall of dust rushes up to engulf them

## Independence Hall

* As the player reaches the Courtroom where Walker’s trial is being held they find the room contains only mannequins dressed as KPA and a hooded figure tied to a chair. On removing the hood they find it’s not Walker at all – suddenly gas is released from hidden canisters and the KPA attack – it’s a trap!

* The player and his resistance allies commandeer a tank to escape from the Green Zone, battling through the KPA forces and smashing through barriers

## University

* The player discovers the scale of the underworld with brothels, drug labs, gladiatorial style fights and gambling dens with KPA soldiers making up the clientele

## City Hall

* The player must zipline between buildings above a dizzying drop with the impressive skyline as a backdrop

* The player must fight a helicopter from the rooftops of the skyscrapers

## Wetlands

* The traitor is revealed as he cold bloodedly kills the other resistance members and summons the KPA to the Ranger’s camp

* The player brings down the towering KPA communications masts

## Comms Dish

* The player sees the Comms dish for the first time

* The player uses the dish to transmit a powerful signal sending the KPA drone army berserk as they all charge around firing their weapons in all directions and causing mayhem

* The player destroys the Comms dish which crashes down shaking the ground and collapsing buildings

## Fairmount

* The player makes a stealthy landing at the Water Works right beside the KPA headquarters

* The player exits the Headquarters and sees the city with the KPA army assembled in front

* The player destroys the generators and escapes the Headquarters in pitch darkness using night vision goggles to evade and assassinate the KPA

## Atlantic City 1
