Lange schon gab es keine News mehr zu Frontlines Fuel of War. Nach zig Reviews, Interviews etc kehrte erstmal Ruhe ein. Heute gibt es endlich wieder News zu dem kommenden Multiplayer Shooter. Allerdings nicht von KAOS oder einer der großen Newsseiten, nein, ein kleines Modteam meldet sich zu Wort.

Project Swafi, so der Name der Mod für Frontlines Fuel of War, ist ein neues Projekt der Desert Conflict (Mod für Battlefield 2) Macher. Noch befindet sich die Mod im Anfangstadium, Screenshots sucht man also vergeblich. Allerdings ist die Story schon festgelegt und man darf gespannt sein, was sich daraus entwickeln wird.

Story:

Present Day Iraq:

Coalition and Iraqi National Guard Forces have been fighting the insurgent threat for the past 3 years or so now. Slowly getting footholds here only to loose them elsewheres within the country. Forces are spread thin as the insurgency continues to grow. The whisperings of Civil War are heard throughout the old corridors of the cities such as Basrah and Baghdad. The United States and her Coalition Of The Willing has been involved in combat daily with these radical factions all the while trying to stabilize the fledgling Democratically elected government of Iraq. However, after seeing over the past years the insurgency growing, and getting better and more advanced in regards to logistics. and training, and weaponry. The United States and her Allies begin to look elsewhere for this upswing in lethality. All of this has to be coming from some place.

Meanwhile the United States has ordered a troop surge to the region and have sent another Carrier Task Force to the region. Amidst this they have been applying Pressure on Iran to be forthcoming with their Nuclear Program. However Iran fails to comply. Iran being the lone power of the region has a vested interest in Iraq. Not only is she a neighboring state but her Oil reserves are vast and her populations religious sects are similar to her own. Iran uses her influence amongst them and this is the tie that binds them. Iran sends members of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) across the border to liaison with members of the insurgency and to provide them with the funding,training, and logistics. Iraq's other neighboring state, Syria also has vested interests in Iraq and since it and Iran were labeled by President Bush as members of the Axis of Evil they feel threatened as well. With increasing troop numbers and more verbal threats being thrown at Iran for its undercover Nuclear Program. Iran and Syria decide to act. Iran with their influence in the insurgency and with the help of the Qods forces implanted within the insurgency begin to ratchet up the number of attacks on the Iraqi populace and military and police units and bases of operation. Insurgency forces have begun to take their toll on Iraqi National Guard units and Coalition forces within Iraq and have forced them back into their bases of operations. Iran and Syria strike. Iran invades from the East and Syria from the West with hopes of rolling up the Coalition forces in between both their armies.

The United States and her allies are in a fight for their lives and their honor. The whole middle east has now been thrown into a regional war. Who will come to whose aid? Will the US and her Allies be able to regain control of Iraq and defend it for the Iraqis and destroy the aggressors. Or will Iran with her master plan finally take over the middle east and assert her dominance as the sole regional power and show to the world that the Mighty Lion that the United States is, is no more than a paper tiger.

What side will you choose? Decide how it all ends.
