## What is Earth Corps?

They've watched us for years. Now they've decided we've grown too smart — and the invasion has begun.

EARTH CORPS: HOMEFRONT puts you behind the controls of an IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle), fighting off an alien invasion in your own city. Not a made-up city — yours. Type in any supported zip code and the battlefield is built from real streets, real buildings, and real waterways pulled straight from actual map data. Your neighborhood becomes the front line.

TRAIN · DEFEND · DEPLOY
• TRAIN — Practice as you fight. Master your IFV, weapons and tactics before battle.
• DEFEND — The war has come to you. Defend the streets and landmarks around your current location, anywhere in the world.
• DEPLOY — Answer the call. Join a campaign, deploy to new battlegrounds, and help take back Earth, one city at a time.

REAL CITIES, REAL BATTLEFIELDS
• 60 major U.S. cities built right into the app — no download required
• 480+ more real cities available across five Deployment Zone packs, including the 2026 FBS College Pack (138 real college towns) and the Pacific Coast Pack
• Every battlefield uses actual streets, buildings, and rivers — buildings provide real cover, water and terrain shape how you fight

YOUR IFV, FULLY LOADED
Command your IFV into battle armed with a 25mm cannon and guided VIPER missiles. Head to HQ before deploying to requisition airstrikes and shields for your loadout, spending in-game Credits or going premium — your call.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY
The invasion isn't just one kind of alien. Study the enemy roster — from fast-moving Drones to heavy Guardians that hold the line at range — so you know exactly what's coming for your city.

CLIMB THE RANKS
Every victory earns MERIT on a live global leaderboard and in Game Center. Track your rank, cities secured, alien kills, and JTAC certification as you build a real combat record against other commanders.

MAKE IT YOURS
Pick from multiple tactical HUD themes — IR Sensor, Night Vision, Tactical Map, and more — and customize your IFV's colors. Adjust difficulty per mission, or TRAIN to sharpen your skills before deploying to a real city.

The invasion is here. Defend your home.
