The Terrorist orginization will also be backing a coup in Iran that will lead to the fall of a peaceful goverment and the rise of a leader intent on destroying the US, Israel and Western Europe. In the game, your objective is to find out Malenkov's goal."

- David Byrnes giving a rough summary of the plot's events.

Not alot is none about the game's plot except that it takes place during a series of terrorist attacks conducted by terrorist mastermind, Oleg Malenkov. Another aspect of the plot that was revealed was the fact that Malenkov and his force of Anti-Western fighters backed a coup d'etat in Iran that lead to the fall of a peaceful goverment and the rise of a yet-to-be revealed Iranian intent on destroying both the US, Israel and the EU. In an interview with the plot writer, it was teased that China became a fully communist country under the influence of Malenkov which sparked tensions between that country and the US. A week after the interview, David, the plot writer of the game, announced that the PLA (Chinese Army) would not be featured as a main faction and that the country will not be seen as a freindly or enemy faction in any missions.
