WHO ARE YOU?
You are Nathan Frost, a bio-enhanced super soldier. In addition to weapons expertise
with firearms and explosives, you can use specialized bio-augmentations. These
bio-augmentations were surgically hard-wired into your body. You now have lethal
combat skills never before seen on the battlefield.
But there is a tactical downside. You are vulnerable to EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse),
which can disrupt your onboard electronics and render you momentarily
or permanently helpless. Your bio-augmentations begin to fail and you become
snowblind until your systems recover.
MISSIONS
You must complete missions as issued by Coalition Command. In every mission
you must complete all primary objectives (objectives are added as the mission
proceeds), protect yourself and protect your men. You will undertake two different
mission types:
L
Firefight missions that are all-out urban warfare.
L
Stealth missions where you attempt to infiltrate key areas before attacking
the objective. Discovery in this type of mission makes the job much tougher.
