Trivia

  • A Template:W (鉢巻, lit. "helmet-scarf") is a stylized headband in Japanese culture, usually made of red or white cloth. It was worn as a symbol of perseverance or effort by the wearer. Japanese kamikaze pilots in World War II would often wear hachimakis before flying to their deaths.
  • The design features the red star of Communism from the Template:W, the main antagonist in Homefront.
  • Homefront was unavailable for pre-purchase on Steam in the United Kingdom. Any attempt to pre-purchase it displayed an error.[1] According to an e-mail from Robin Walker, Valve was considering ways to ensure players from the UK could obtain the item.[2] Ultimately, nothing was done and the item remained region specific.
