The Homefront 2 Prototype is a series of builds that were developed by Crytek UK in 2012 before their bankrupcy in 2014. The game runs on Cryengine 3 and has leftover aspects from Crysis 2. The prototype for this game was made for the Xbox 360, which requires the use of a modded Xbox 360 to run the prototype. From the gameplay, the story and the mechanics differs than that of Homefront: The Revolution, which would be developed by Dambuster Studios from 2015-2016.

- ―Level Description
The level begins with a short description, before moving to a cutscene where the Mailman (Ethan Brady) enters a Resistance base in a tower. Jack Parrish and Shiva (Dana Moore) are discussing a plan to hijack the KPA Propaganda Tower and use it to broadcast messages for the citizens of Philadelphia to rise. Jack shows the Mailman the zip-line launcher, which can go up to a hundred meters. He also explains that an app is needed to detect grapple points before using it. Jack and the Mailman head outside to infiltrate the KPA tower. When Mailman zips to the KPA tower, he proceeds to eliminate the KPA soldiers positioned on the tower. He heads down to the KPA server room and sabotages it. Afterwards, he is alerted by Shiva that KPA forces are converging on his position, and he needs to leave the tower immediately. Mailman walks outside and eliminates the KPA reinforcements on the tower. He then sets his sight on a Watcher drone, a sniper drone that can take down targets. He hacks the drone and uses it to eliminate the KPA on the roof of City Hall. He uses his zip-line launcher and zips down to the City Hall's roof.
Upon landing on the City Hall roof, Mailman moves to the Watcher drone console and disables it, allowing Jack Parrish to meet up with him. They recieve work from Shiva that Colonel Jeong, the top brass of the KPA, is inside the building. Parrish and Mailman team together to take him out. They go inside City Hall through the skylight and do a breach-and-clear of the room. They succeeded in eliminating Colonel Jeong, but this sets off an alarm which alerts the KPA troops to their location. Mailman and Parrish are caught in a gun battle against the KPA. Mailman tries to escape to the roof, but when he gets there, he is surrounded by multiple KPA troops, with no other way to escape.
