Suddenly, and quite magically, a backstory has evolved...
London, 2014. With the brain-washed soldiers of the mighty Bernheart Hades having taken control of Britain a few months ago, the capital is now a war-torn wilderness of fallen concrete and rising smoke. When the bombs fell, in just a few short days, 65% of Londons population was wiped out. Now, the survivers cling to existant in the relatively safe, but ever monitored, "Green Zone", a walled section of the city where surveillance takes precident over human rights.
Those lucky enough to evade Bernheart Hades' forces, known as The Scimitars (or 'Scimmers' colloqually), survive in small clans deep in the country. Sometimes they are may take refuge in one of the many 'abandoned towns' but this is dangerous because of the constant sweep searches by the Scimmers.
The British army also tried to repel the invasion. Unfortunately, they were forced back some 60 miles from London and much of the army has been cut off from the main group, assumed to be somewhere North of London.
You play as Pte. Ben Marshaw, a 25 year old soldier in the cut-off group of the British Army. The limited intelligence you are hearing is that the 'Mother Group', the main army North of London, is about to storm the City. With this in mind, a large operation has been organised in which the remaining squads will be air-lifted to London and dropped under the cover of darkness. The main objective is to disbale a massive communications device in the docklands area of the city. With this device destroyed, the Scimmers will have no way of knowing if and where the Mother Group are attacking. A secondary objective is to gather intelligence on the whereabouts of Bernheart Hades.
Some of the locations you will fight in:
- The Docklands
- The Underground (Subway)
- Batersea Power Station
- St. Pancras Station
- The 2012 Olympic Complex
- London City Airport
How's that for a start? If you like it, i'll go about writing the rest of storyline later today.
