Some say WWIII has long ended. Yet others say there is still hope.
The first attack came on a Sunday. On March 20th, 2008, a day we now know as “Impact”, China unleashed Nuclear Hell on Canada. Hundreds of Nuclear missiles were launched into the sky. Alarms went off all over the world. Europe exposed all of it's Nuclear missiles, ready to fire at a moments notice. The U.S. Raised a nationwide alarm. The message - “Take cover”. Within the next hour, contact with Canada was lost. The Canada we knew was gone.
Then the sides were picked. China teamed up with the most powerful countries in the world, and the U.S. Allied with the British. But there was no hope. China quickly went to bisness unleashing hordes of Nuclear missiles upon North America. It turns out China had launched several satellites in the past decades. All aimed at the U.S.'s crucial week points. First, D.C. Went. The pentagon was blasted off the face of the earth, and the white house was completely obliterated. Next came New York, Seattle, and L.A. Then several missiles were fired and took down America's communication system. The nation was crippled. But it didn't go out without a fight. The land mass once known as Chine was 3/4 gone by March 21st. The U.S. Had managed to launch all of it's missiles even before the first strike from China made contact. Of course, Europe imploded. Several countries went into small civil wars, and most ignorantly killed their neighbors and died from the fallout.
Yet all this time, Russia was just watching. No one even touched Russia. No one cared. On the 23rd, once all of the world was completely obliterated, Russia killed the stragglers and assumed control of the Planet we knew as Earth.
Russia had been training an army of Super Advanced Super Soldiers. Called EBMWC, “Enhanced Bio-Mechanical War Cyborg”, they were the most powerful troops in the history of Earth. Russia's army of over 1 million EBMWC units quickly transported themselves all over the world and eliminated the enemy.
But of course, the American Government wasn't stupid either. It has also been planning to make a “Super Army”, but it had only succeeded in manufacturing 4 of it's own Cyborgs, called “RAAU” for “Reconnaissance and Attack Armed Unit”. You are one of these four RAAU units.
You've been in Cryogenic freezing for the past 27 years, and a lot has changed since you were first put into Suspended Animation. First off, the world you know is gone. Because of the Nuclear war, the entire planet, except for Russia, Greenland, and Antarctica is bathed in deadly nuclear fallout. Greenland is still alive only because Russia didn't see it as a threat, but reports are coming in that the Russian president knows of our presence here, and is planning an attack. But enough of that, on to other matters.
We are the only surviving U.S. Citizens. We have one goal. Our only goal is to TAKE RUSSIA DOWN! You and your RAAU unit are humanity's last hope, failure is not an option.. Good Luck.
The year is 2035 and Russia rules the world.
The above is the storyline (obviously). I wrote this a couple months ago with a friend and ever since then with the help of this forum I've actually gotten really far, and I think Aftermath is ready for a WIP.
Aftermath (when done) will be a Futuristic FPS in which you have to actually use strategy to finish the game. In other words, unlike Halo, you won't be able to run into a room full of enemies and live. Instead, I want to game to be something like Counterstrike, where you have to use your wits to stay alive and eliminate your oponents.
There will be a level editor so you can make your own levels and save them. And, I've actually gotten really far on the level editor. Right now it supports everything except saving.
I was gonna post some screenies, but right now, I havn't modeled a single thing for the game, all I have is the core engine running some maps I found on the net, and 1 map that I made for testing.
