Act of War: High Treason (abbreviated as AOW:HT) is an expansion
pack for Act of War: Direct Action. It was developed by Eugen Systems
and published by Atari. It was released in Europe on March 24, 2006 and
in North America on May 30, 2006.
Act of War: High Treason takes place over the course of three days, three years after the events of Act of War: Direct Action.
On the eve of the U.S. Presidential election, President Baldwin is
assassinated with an explosive device while his motorcade is leaving the
White House. In the meantime, the two presidential candidates, Senator
Watts and Vice President Cardiff are attacked. Major Jason Richter of
Task Force Talon intervenes, sending Sergeant Major Ray Jefferson and
Sergeant Oz Jackson respectively to rescue Senator Watts and Vice
President Cardiff. Although both succeed in their missions, Senator
Watts disappears shortly thereafter and is announced dead by officials.
Vice President Cardiff survives and becomes the new President of the
United States.
Several important government officials including General Kelley of
the U.S. Army are arrested on conspiracy and assassination charges.
However, Red Cell, the military unit responsible for escorting Watts is
not questioned. Richter sends Oz Jackson to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin to
meet Colonel Whitemore, leader of the Red Cell. However, once there, he
is attacked by U.S. Army forces, and is arrested for trespassing.
Richter sends a small unit of Task Force Talon to rescue Oz Jackson and
escape. Jefferson stays behind to find out what is really going on.
With the help of Jefferson, Richter and Task Force Talon track
Whitemore's C-17 Globemaster transport carrying a shipment of USAMRIID
biological barrels to Cancún, Mexico. In Mexico, they encounter the
shipment's recipient: the Consortium, a highly advanced and well-funded
shadowy military organization which was assumed to have been eradicated
in the events of the previous game. Task Force Talon also discovers that
the biological cargo contains X-357, a virus which is deadly against
animals, but harmless against humans. Task Force Talon commandeers a
Consortium Visby-class corvette and escapes Cancún, pursuing a trio of
Consortium Typhoon class submarines carrying the biological samples.
Major Richter and Task Force Talon, who are now officially branded
as traitors, meet up with Admiral Burns and the USS Tarawa aircraft
carrier. Having come under fire by the Consortium, Burns helps them to
destroy two of three submarines and subsequently land their forces in
Cuba. In Cuba, they discover that President Cardiff is working with the
Consortium and is behind former President Baldwin's assassination. Task
Force Talon raids a Consortium hacienda in Cuba in search of the last
submarine and a Consortium biological weapons expert, Dr. Morello.
Although Task Force Talon fails to locate Dr. Morello or retrieve
the biological sample, they manage to discover and rescue Senator Watts,
who is still alive. Transferring him to a friendly U.S. naval base in
the Bahamas, Watts gives a speech to the American people on live
television testifying against Cardiff and the Consortium. An enraged
Cardiff orders Whitemore to destroy Richter at any cost. Dr. Morello
agrees but declares that Cardiff has outlived his usefulness. Major
Richter and the U.S. forces defend the naval base against Consortium
forces until Watts finishes his speech and is evacuated to Washington
D.C. so that he may personally testify against Cardiff in the U.S.
Congress. Task Force Talon also learns that the Consortium plans to
mutate the X-357 virus so that it is capable of killing humans, but this
can only be done in an environment such as outer space.
Task Force Talon travels to Cape Canaveral where the X-357 virus is
scheduled for launch into space via the Space Shuttle Liberty. Jefferson
attempts to stop the shuttle launch but fails. The 52nd, 104th and 81st
Airborne divisions guarding the launch site assault the Task Force
Talon team, who are still marked as traitors. Not long later however,
the Congress impeaches President Cardiff. Subsequently, General Kelley
is reinstated and the 52nd and 81st cease firing on Task Force Talon;
the 104th under the command of Colonel Whitemore and the Consortium
continues to fight, only to be destroyed.
Space Shuttle Liberty is tracked to its landing zone in the
Taklamakan Desert in central Asia, where the Consortium's main base of
operations is located. Subsequently, the U.S. Army attacks the landing
site and eradicates the virus with an experimental bomb. The rest of the
Consortium forces are eradicated. The epilogue reveals that Cardiff's
body is found in a river, while Senator Watts's presidential campaign is
virtually unopposed. Major Richter and the other personnel of Task
Force Talon, believed to be missing in action, are on vacation in the
Bahamas.
[edit]Factions
U.S. Army
In Act of War: High Treason, the U.S. Army is a general term for the
conventional fighting forces of the United States, including the Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marines. Armed with solid conventional weaponry, the
U.S. Army boasts unparalleled strength. However, they are not as
flexible as Task Force Talon or the Consortium. The U.S. Army uses a
different type specialized unit for each type of task.
Task Force Talon
Task Force Talon is a secretive joint task force and a direct action
force. Utilizing futuristic weapons and technology, they can be
deployed anywhere in the world quickly. Task Force Talon uses multi-role
units, so that each unit of the task force is versatile and capable of
handling more than one type of mission.
Consortium
A very large underground military organization with ever more
immense funding, the Consortium pursues its own agenda through a
combination of terrorist attacks and conventional military action. Their
force is a blend of powerful Soviet bloc equipment and extremely
advanced technology on par with Task Force Talon, including secret
projects from both Russia and the United States.
Mercenaries
Mercenaries are hired at a building called Mercenary Outpost.
Mercenaries require an initial insurance fee, and charge a smaller
rolling fee at five-second intervals. The insurance fee is completely or
partially refunded when the mercenary team is released, depending on
how many mercenaries are alive. Only one mercenary team any kind can be
hired by any one player in a game.
[edit]Mini-games
Marine One Down: The objective of this game is to capture the
President. Any player who gets a unit within a certain distance gains
control of the President. The objective is to move the POTUS unit to a
pre-defined evacuation base at the edge of the map, with each player
needing to bring the President to a different location. There is no base
building in this mode; instead, players capture bunkers scattered
around the map to gain reinforcements.
Scud launcher: This mode is basically the same as a regular game,
but with a twist: All players are unable to build Tactical Weapons and
Anti-Tactical weapons, but in the middle of the map, there is a neutral
Scud launcher with a circle around it. Anyone who gets within the circle
gains control of the Scud, this allows that player to fire the Scud
every 2 minutes. Should the launcher be destroyed, it will explode
violently, causing tremendous damage to everything within a very large
radius, which prevents players from keeping the launcher safe in their
base.
