SCENARIO 3: CAPTURED!

In this stage, terrorists have managed to kidnap twelve civilians and are now demanding a ransom as well as the release of criminals who have been imprisoned for terrorist activities in exchange for the victims.

The superior leading the unit has been killed in previous terrorist attack on the MRT station, and the player’s mission is to lead a unit and to successfully infiltrate the terrorists’ hideout, rescuing the twelve victims.

The landscape featured is the Central Business District of Singapore and the aim of this stage is to acquire skills like battlefield strategizing, as well as to lead the unit of soldiers. Being ranked as junior officer-level, the player commands platoons or companies of men, and has to oversee the execution of orders while ensuring the welfare of the men under their command. In addition, junior officer-level soldiers are most important in small-unit combat, and earn the respect of their men by leading by example. As such, the player cannot merely use his men as pawns despite being a superior; he has to work in tandem with them, while leading them, in order to accomplish the mission. In addition, points will be taken off for every soldier under his command killed.

There will also be an incident to further the plot when the mission has been successfully carried out: under interrogation, the terrorists refuse to yield any information about the motives behind their attacks. However, one of the kidnapped civilians had managed to eavesdrop and obtain the password for the SIM card. Accessing the information on the SIM card, the player discovers a voice message on the phone, revealing their hideout situated on an isolated island off the shore of Singapore.
