Plot
It's May 5th, 2005. The game begins with a bird's-eye view of New York City, with thick black smoke coming out of the Empire State Building and numerous rescue helicopters flying to and around the building, while a lot of sirens can be heard wailing in the distance. The game then switches to the persepective of an unnamed NYPD officer rushing to the scene, almost getting involved in a car accident in the process. The dispatcher notifies him that a plane has crashed into the Empire State Building. He arrives and gets out of the car and then looks at the building, which is burning violently. There is burning debris lying around everywhere and a lot of people can be seen running away, screaming and crying. Multiple police cars, ambulances and fire engines are present. Then the game switches to the perspective of a fire fighter who rappels from a helicopter into the building. Once he's in the building, he notices a group of people who are trapped in a cubicle. He pulls aside some debris and frees them. At this moment, the floor above them starts to collapse, but they manage to run to the door before it crashes down on them. They continue to go down each floor as the building is slowly starting to collapse. After a while they arrive on the 85th floor, which is engulfed in a raging fire. They also see people that jump down the building in order to not perish in the fire. The fire fighter tries to look for a way out, but every possible exit is blocked by fire and debris. Then, as they look outside, they see another plane heading towards the building. They all watch in horror as the second plane crashes into the building. The building collapses and kills everyone in the building and in the immediate radius of the building. The game then shows the Empire State Building from above, which is now leveled to the ground and all the streets nearby are covered in debris. A week later, a news report states that two planes were captured by terrorists. The first plane was captured on Stewart International Airport at 8:08 a.m. and was flown into the Empire State Building at 8:55 a.m. The second place was captured on Philadelphia International Airport at 9:15 a.m. and was flown into the building at 10:02 a.m. Two men tried to capture a third plane, but were stopped by security and got arrested. The attack killed a total of 3,101 people: 3,097 victims, which included 152 on the two planes, 2,945 in the building itself and in the surrounding area and 4 hijackers. More than 65,000 people were injured and some died later in the hospital. The two men who tried to capture the third plane told police that they were from the Iraqi terrorist group Al Muqatil and they claim responsibility for the attack.

Fast forward a couple years, in 2008, Sergeant David Wilson and his squad, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, also known as Geronimo, are being flown to Iraq for Operation Wipeout. The squad consists of Sergeant David Wilson himself, Captain Rick "Scarface" Harris, Lance Corporal Tyron Jackson, Corporal Jeffrey Cody and Sergeant Daniel Morgan.

Weapons
Frontline: War on Terror features a wide variety of weapons, ranging from assault rifles to melee weapons. There are over 50 weapons in the game. There is also a huge variety of attachments, which affect your gun in various ways. The guns in this game use projectiles instead of hitscan, meaning that if you want to take out enemies at longer ranges you'll have to lead your shots. Factors that influence bullets are bullet velocity and bullet drop and other factors from outside such as wind, temperature etc. A unique thing about the weapons in this game is that they're faction specific. This means that Russians can only use Russian-made weapons etc. However, you can still pick up weapons from soldiers from a different faction when they're dead.
