World in Conflict envisions a world where Soviet troops have left mother Russia to bring the war to a different battlefield. Troops have infiltrated American soil on the West Coast in disguised cargo ships. The Soviets are quickly invading, and America has precious little resources to defend itself with. The majority of our troops are stationed in Europe, fighting bigger battles across the pond. You play the role of Lieutenant Parker, an army officer stationed in Seattle as the Soviets invade. Your job is to lead whatever forces you can find to stop the Soviets from overtaking the country.
