Backstory
The game is set in the year 2063 after a Nuclear War in 2035-2048. Due to the fallout, developments in all fields had slowed down considerably. With UK, USA, Japan, China and the United Middle Eastern Nations (UMEN) being the new superpowers in the world. With the UMEN being the most powerful superpower overall, they had gained control of most of Asia and Africa, with the rest of Asia being under Japanese and Chinese control.

Prologue: Project Karma
The player character is Cpt. Haysaf Abul, of the UMEN Prophet's Word (Special Unit) Division 13. The player is waiting for a train carrying a Russian super weapon. The character must infiltrate the Russian Station at Pzochiski, Southern Russia from the Eastern Face. The area is a simple 3 floor complex with a basic central room with 4 rooms at each corner per floor, with a external ladder being there on the outside of the Southern Face of the building. The player must find a way to unlock the Southern Room by either stealthily taking out enemies and getting the keys, or triggering alarms to get it opened, which leads to reinforcements coming in to assist the forces inside. After this, if alarms were triggered, the train leaves, forcing you to airdrop into it via helicopter. Not triggering the alarms skips this section. After boarding the train (12th Car in a 20 Car Train), you must reach the 7th car within 3 minutes (+2 minutes if alarms weren't triggered at the station, -1 minute if you break stealth while onboard the train). After this, you must switch trains to reach the 5th car of a 10 car train. On entering this train, you must get to the engine to take the train to Pokhrev, a UMEN controlled city in the region of Pzochiski. After doing this, the prologue ends, with the players having gained the super weapon for them selves.

If they enter, you must deal with them from the Access Tunnel. This mission lasts for 15 minutes, with surviving for that long and keeping the tower uncompromised allowing allies returning from capturing a UMEN base to lock the enemies between their mass and your tower.
