Story in more detail

The player is living in a world of cruelty and crime, the world is ruled by two super powers in competition over complete control of the public. The "Loyalist-people's-Government" rules with pain and fear in the Americas and the Emergency-European-military-government rules europ and parts of asia with a subtle system of silently abducting their opposers and highly specialized soldiers. In the Americas the government is watching everyone, keeping the public under control through subtle paranoia. There is an under-ground rebel group fighting for people's freedom and rights, this is the group the player belongs to. They call him John Doe, ironically.

Doe is leading a mission of sabotage on the west coast on a network of oil rigs. The rebels are there to stop the network of oil-flow to the the military on the coast with a few strategic strikes. This is the most ambitious rebel mission so far and there is every chance for it to go wrong, but as long as you and your friends have the element of surprise you should have the upper hand.

It's time to act, you're sitting in a rubber boat along with 15 other trained fighters heading towards one of twenty oil rigs. This is your chance to make a difference for the greater good, but you realize something is wrong when you see that all the lights are on at the oil rig and the loud machinery has stopped. Fifty meters away in the foggy water, moving slowly, silently. Gunfire. You've been spotted, the boat speeds up and bullets splash into the water around the boat. Twenty meters now, the scatter of bullets is becoming more accurate. By the time you reach the oil rig one man has died and the rig is on full alert, reports from other team leaders show similar situations. How? It doesn't matter, all that matters is the mission. Your team moves up the stairs of one of the support pillars but there are guards at every turn, guards armed better than you had expected. Is someone leaking information? It's too late to retreat now, already halfway up. You reach the top and can see the cloudy night sky, your target is near, all you have to do is plant the bomb. That's all that matters. you and two rebels reach the target, it takes you only seconds to set it up and hide it, now you have 5 minutes to get out. But how? With this much resistance getting out at all will be near impossible. You had planned to take the life boats but they're not here, the night sky is dotted with helicopters now. One rebel is shot by a guard another by a helicopter. You're trapped at the edge of of the rig, 2 minutes left. You're surrounded with no escape. You jump, legs first into the inky black ocean below.

You wake up in a cold concrete cell. your legs are shattered and all your skin is bruised but you're alive. You're in the fabled 'Prison Island' an enormous island converted to a prison complex to hold the prisoners of the LPG. Years pass, the future is bleak.

One night distant artillery can be heard from war ships, it's the one thing that excites the prisoners here. A naval battle is going on not far from here. The battle rages on without stray from the ordinary when suddenly, three consecutive explosions are heard nearby. Stray artillery hitting land, then six more, now closer. Suddenly one hits the roof, it caves in, it's followed by more the scatter around the area. One hits your cell block, dust shrapnel everywhere, more hit around the room. When the dust finally clears you find you cell door unhinged, the guards crushed and the walls crumbling. You're free.
Around you have a huge arsenal of weapons and thousands of rebels held captive waiting to be released.
