On peli joka sijoittuu kolmanteen maailmansotaan.
2011 Russia Left out of the Missile Shield Club
The U.S. and European Union (EU) sign the historic SLAMS (Space-Land-Air Missile Shield) Treaty, agreeing to codevelop technologies for a comprehensive, interlocking anti-ballistic missile system. Left out in the cold, Russia accelerates development of its own system.
2014 The End of Nuclear War
SLAMS goes live. The world watches as the U.S. and EU launch test salvos against each other. The results are extraordinary: Each nation's missile shield destroys 100 percent of the dummy missiles fired against it. The U.S. and EU governments pronounce "the end of strategic nuclear war," and the world celebrates a new age of peace and security.
2015 Energy Crisis
Like toppling dominos, several major oil companies own up to having "overstated" recoverable oil reserves. For weeks, the price of oil spikes to $200 dollars per barrel, shocking stock markets in New York, London, and Tokyo into a massive downturn. With worldwide energy production slumping, "energy security" becomes the explicit priority of governments around the world. Only Russia, already the world's No.1 supplier of oil and natural gas, benefits from the energy crisis, spending its petrodollars on a revitalized, technologically sophisticated military. Tensions between the world's three superpowers mount.
2018 The Militarization of Space
The United States reveals plans to launch the "Freedom Star" space station into high orbit by 2020. While partly designed for civilian research purposes, the station will also house three companies of Marines, who can deploy anywhere on earth within 90 minutes. International reaction is extremely negative, to say the least.
2020 Now
With the final module of the Freedom Star set to launch from Kennedy Space Center amid international outcry, it comes as little surprise when a group of terrorists attack the launch site. In investigating the source of the attack, the U.S., Europe, and Russian Federation find themselves at odds, rolling with unstoppable momentum toward full-scale global war.
In 2014, the world finally realizes peace. The United States and a unified Europe align to launch the first ever global interlocking anti-ballistic missile system of its kind. 8.2 billion watch as the end of strategic nuclear war is affirmed. Missiles silos are emptied, economies are stabilized. The realization of ideal human coexistence seems to have been attained...but it is not to last. A mere 12 months later news breaks of overstated recoverable oil reserves, the result is an increase in the price of natural resources that quadruples their value and cripples the industrialized world. Amid this planetary energy crisis the Russian Federation experiences a revitalization of wealth, reinvesting its global petrol earnings into technological and military advancement. Over the next three years, the United States and Europe secretly develop plans and countermeasures against a resurgent Russia. Planet Earth, once again, finds itself possessing opposing superpowers. The era that would come to be known as the militarization of space begins, when the US reveals plans to launch its first military space station into permanent orbit. Two years later, with international dissension and opposing military tension mounting, the module launch site falls victim to a terrorist attack. This begins a series of reactions from which mankind may never recover. A conflict of final magnitude.
It is highly suggested that the game will serve as a tie-in with the events of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2, Rainbow Six: Vegas and Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
In a GameTrailers Interview with the Lead Designer, it has been said that the Ghost Recon team will be the Special Forces for the US faction, Rainbow Six characters will be promoted and be commanders in the European Union, also there has been something said about a "President Fisher..." followed by a laugh.
