The brown, earth tones and yellow-dried grass fields. One of the Soviet Missions has you going through eastern Washington State farmland and having lived near there all my life they nail it. What doesn't get said enough is the detail. Linking your artillery to a hotkey and unleashing the rain. There's nothing like taking a hill, then positioning heavy artillery on it. Because the action portrays the desperation of the characters well. It's even a bit dare I say emotional in parts. The action, though frantic and not realistic, is extremely well done and fun to play. It's like experiencing a Cold War action flick (a well acted one, like Hunt For the Red October, coincidental since Alec Baldwin voices the main character). The story and narrative are creative, voice-acting and cut-scenes are awesome. And extremely well recommended for anyone who likes action based RPS where you get right into it, Cold War thrillers, and wants a game that feels like a movie experience. Your objective is to capture Sandfish Island.It's quite simply the best, most fun single player PC game I've ever played. The islands need to be retaken and the batteries captured intact so that they can be used against the Chinese if they should get as far as the sound. The Russians have fortified several islands in Puget Sound with anti-ship missile batteries. We would do it as the Colonel would: swift and merciless." Everyone was itching to get the main fight over and done with, but first we had an island to take. During this, the Colonel was called away for consultations, and Webb, who was now a major, was put in charge in his place. The Russians had put up anti-ship defences there, that we were to capture for use against the Chinese. But HQ sent us into Puget Sound instead, to retake a bunch of islands. The Colonel argued against them, saying we had to attack quickly or we would run out of time and Seattle would be turned to ashes. They wanted to consolidate our forces and make sure the reinforcements caught up. "We were racing at full speed towards Seattle and could actually see the Space needle when division headquarters ordered us to halt. If we fail to do this in time the President will order a strategic nuclear bomb dropped on the city. We have to break through the Soviet frontline and retake Seattle before they arrive. Later, when we learned about the President's backup plan, we understood why."Ĭhina has decided to enter the war as an ally of the Soviet Union, and they have sent a large invasion fleet toward Seattle. Webb said the men needed to rest for at least a day, but the Colonel pushed us on, saying we had to see this thing to the end before it was too late. So we moved west, toward Seattle and the main Soviet defense perimeter. The USS Missouri had been sunk a week earlier off the coast of British Columbia, and there wasn't much left of our Pacific Fleet to stop the Chinese. A Chinese invasion fleet was steaming toward Seattle, planning to use the Russian beachhead to get ashore. "As we were catching our collective breath and trying to reorganize, word came down that China had finally entered the war, as an ally of the Soviet Union. In this blasted wasteland you must rally your forces and establish contact with the command elements of the battalion. and Soviet units have scattered all over the surrounding countryside. In the aftermath of the nuclear explosion at Cascade Falls both U.S. We thought the worst thing could possibly have happened, just had. The blast had been more powerful than anyone could've imagined. It soon became every man for himself as we tried to get reorganized and fight off Russian stragglers at the same time. We lost contact with the Colonel early on. The EMP from the nuclear blast had effectively silenced the radios, and what was left of our battalion was scattered over the surrounding countryside. We had to destroy the town in order to save it, but back then I think the irony of that was lost upon us. Their sacrifice had been the key to stopping the Russians and now Fort Teller was safe. Bannon and the men in his company were not. "As the mushroom cloud above Cascade Falls slowly dissipated behind us, we fought on in a blasted wasteland with trees singed black the wave of searing heat.
