Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

Story

The single-player campaign game revolves around a fictional war between NATO and China that takes place in Kazakhstan. The media on both sides spread propaganda accusing the other side of war crimes, while the player fights back and forth for each nation. When the player finally chooses which side to lead to victory, it turns out that a terrorist organization called Burning Flag is responsible for both NATO and China starting the war. Various war crimes that each side believes the other committed during the fighting were actually arranged by Burning Flag, which also sabotaged the only known attempt at negotiations. The winning side must stop Burning Flag's leader, Commander 31, from launching three nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles at the U.S., Europe and China; failure to do so would mean that neither side would have anything left to fight or live for. In the course of an intense battle, the ICBM launches are stopped and Commander 31 is killed. The player is then hailed as a hero who made China's or NATO's victory possible.
