Shadow Ops: Red Mercury
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury is an action-oriented first-person shooter based on modern military weapons, equipment and tactics, but presented as a "blockbuster action movie" rather than a realistic military simulation. Players move through linear levels while fighting terrorists and enemy soldiers in locations around the globe such as Syria and France, using a selection of modern firearms.
Story
The player takes on the role of Captain Frank Hayden, an elite Delta Force agent and the former leader of Black Saber, the President's personal black bag unit. Hayden and his team are attempting to recover a briefcase nuclear bomb codenamed "Red Mercury" from terrorist mercenary Vladimir Styanovich, known by his nom de guerre "Vlady the Vicious," operating out of a Syrian coastal town. The team's Black Hawk is shot down immediately after the mission, and they fight their way through the streets in pursuit of Vlady. Hayden arrives too late to stop Vlady from escaping in the helicopter, but manages to damage the helicopter's rotors with small arms fire. Vlady, fleeing across the ocean, declares that he is not a martyr and attempts to defuse and "reassess" the bomb. To his horror, the bomb pulls itself back up seconds later. Vlady leaves the bomb in the helicopter and jumps into the sea in a vain attempt to escape the explosion. The blast wave from the nuclear bomb kills Vlady and capsizes the US aircraft carrier that was Hayden's base of operations. The helicopter that was supposed to pick up Hayden's team is also destroyed, leaving them both unconscious.
