gameplay and introduction of the new game mode Extinction, but criticizing it
for its single-player campaign, rehashing of familiar concepts, general lack of
innovation, and storyline ending.
Story :
In the year
2017, U.S. Army Captain Elias Walker (Stephen Lang) tells his sons, Logan and
David "Hesh" Walker (Brandon Routh), the legend of how the Ghosts, an
elite coalition of all US Special Operations units, first appeared. Meanwhile,
in space, the 'Federation of the Americas' hijack the controlling space station
of the Orbital Defense Initiative (ODIN), an orbital superweapon that utilizes kinetic
bombardment, and use it to destroy several cities in the southwestern United
States. The surviving American astronauts, Baker and Mosley, sacrifice
themselves to self-destruct the space station and prevent other ODIN satellites
from launching their payloads further inland; Elias and the teenage Logan and
David narrowly escape the destruction of San Diego.
Ten years
later, the war between the United States and the Federation has been a bloody
stalemate along a front that comprises the destroyed cities, known as "NoMan's Land", which has become a war of attrition as more Federation forces
attempt to break the frontlines. However, the Americans stand their ground,
fighting near the former US-Mexico border. Logan and Hesh are part of a U.S special unit under the command of Elias and are accompanied by their loyal
military-trained German Shepherd, Riley. During a patrol, they spot an American
working with the Federation, named Gabriel Rorke (Kevin Gage), interrogating a
Ghost member, named Ajax. When the brothers are later ambushed by wolves, they
are rescued by Ghost members Thomas Merrick and Keegan Russ, who are aiming to
rescue Ajax; Logan and Hesh join the mission to rescue Ajax, but he is killed.
The
brothers return to Santa Monica, California, where U.S forces holdout against
an assault from Federation forces, and reunite with their father, who reveals
himself as the leader of Ghosts. Elias recruits them into the Ghosts, and they
learn from him that Rorke was once their leader and Elias' best friend.
However, during a successful mission to assassinate General Diego Almagro, then
president of the Federation, in the capital city Caracas, Elias was forced to
abandon Rorke, who was captured and brainwashed by the Federation and began
hunting down members of the Ghosts.
The Ghosts
capture Rorke, but Rorke's men attack their plane and rescue him. The team
lands in the Amazon Jungle, where they witness a missile being launched for an
unknown purpose. The Ghosts raid a Federation laboratory in the Andes and
obtain data regarding classified information in a factory at Rio de Janeiro.
The Ghosts destroy the Federation's Atlas oil platform located in Antarctica to
lure the Federation's fleet away from their objective and sink a destroyer
guarding the Brazilian coast. The team discovers that the Federation reverseengineered ODIN's technology and developed their own orbital bombardment system
code named "LOKI". After destroying the factory, the Ghosts regroup
at a safehouse in Las Vegas, but are captured by Rorke. After Rorke kills Eliats, the brothers escape along with Merrick, Keegan and Riley.
The UnitedStates then set out to stop LOKI before it becomes operational, pooling all
remaining forces, including the last aircraft carrier, the USS Liberator, in a
synchronized all-out assault to take down an enemy space center in the Andes
Mountains between Argentina and Chile, while a team of soldiers board a shuttle
to take over Federation satellites in space. Hesh and Logan then pursue Rorke
to avenge their father and are seemingly successful, only to find out during
the aftermath that Rorke survived. Logan attempts to defend his wounded
brother, but has his arm broken and is captured by Rorke, who announces his
plans to brainwash Logan into killing the rest of the Ghosts.
