Judgment Day/Transcript

== Cutscene ==
Secretary Petraeus and President Marion Bosworth are sitting in a database bunker, looking at Menendez' attacks.
Petraeus: Madame President, we now know how Menendez pulled it off. It's now clear that Menendez intended to be captured and brought to the Obama, in order to execute his attack.
Bosworth: A Trojan horse. Odysseus.
Petraeus: He used a Celerium device to infect our internal servers with a virus compromising our entire military satellite infrastructure. Bad news is, the drones are still his. He's piggybacking on communication satellites all over the world.
Bosworth: What are our options?
Petraeus: Well, there is some good news. We've traced the source of the signals.
The computer screen shows .
Bosworth: Haiti?
Petraeus: JSOC's in the sky right now. T minus 10 minutes we'll be boots on the ground.
Bosworth: How long before the drones get to other cities?
Petraeus: At current rate and trajectory... approximately T minus 10.
Bosworth: Oh my god, what about China?
If the player completed the Strike Force missions, the SDC will be aligned with American Forces. If not, they will be hostile towards American forces.
<tabber>
SDC aligned with American Forces= Petraeus: We are launching a coordinated simultaneous attack on Haiti. We can trust Premier Chen now. He will not let us down.
|-|
SDC hostile towards American Forces= Petraeus: Well, all diplomatic contact has ceased, but as you can see... Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong... They're in as much danger as we are.
</tabber>
The camera shows chaotic city action with people evacuating as the skies are filled with drones.(helicopters, planes, and many VTOLs)
Bosworth: Is this it? Is this the end?
Petraeus: Madame President... may God help us.
== Gameplay ==
"Judgment Day"
West Coast of Haiti
D. Mason // Codename: 'Section'
JSOC Counter Terrorist Force
June 19th, 2025
Section is in a VTOL with 4 other Army Rangers and possibly Harper, if he is alive.
Pilot: Time on target, 60 seconds.
An Army Ranger attaches wingpacks to another Army Ranger's back.
Army Ranger: Okay, you're set.
If Harper wasn't killed in Achilles' Veil, the same Army Ranger will check his wingpacks.
Army Ranger: Your HUD link clear?
Harper (if alive): It's all good.
If Harper was killed, the Army Ranger will check a random Army Ranger's wingpacks. Section walks by his wingpacks and presses buttons on his Data Glove Paired.
Army Ranger: Confirmed.
The Army Ranger attaches Section's wingpacks to his back.
Army Ranger: All right, Section. You're good to go.
Section: All right, listen up. We have our objectives. Shut down the transmission controlling the drones... Execute kill/capture order on Raul Menendez.
Harper (if alive): I vote kill. Taking him alive didn't work out last time.
The VTOL's door opens.
Pilot: Time on target, 30 seconds.
A plane explodes near the VTOL.
Army Ranger: Shit! That was close!
There is an explosion inside of the VTOL, destroying the door and causing an Army Ranger to fly outside of the door. The soldiers struggle to leave the plane.
Section: Go, now!
Section looks back at the pilots.
Pilot: Get out! Get out!
An explosion incinerates the pilots and sends Section flying out of the VTOL. He then activates his wingpacks by pulling a lever and goes into a nosedive with his squad, passing many planes.
Section: Control your descent!
Harper (if alive): Stay out of the fucking way!
Missiles begin firing up towards the squad.
Section: Avoid the missiles!
The squad see the ground and pull up their wingpacks to land. If Harper is alive, he will land beside Section and shoot an enemy quadrotor targeting them.
Harper (if alive): C'mon, bitch! You want to live forever?
Section takes out his weapon and moves up.
Section: Supporting element one, say status!
Navy SEAL: Established containment western flank, 100 series buildings.
Navy SEAL (If the player completed Strike Force missions): Chinese special forces are in support.
Section: SE2, are you up?
Navy SEAL: Affirm. In position to parallel your movement east side. Set on rooftops 300 series building.
Section: Copy all. Main effort moving south. Updates as needed.
Section (if the player completed Strike Force missions): Chinese special forces landing on the roofs. They'll deal with the snipers.
Harper (if alive): Friendly CLAW's moving in for support! Use 'em for cover! They're making a hell of a last stand!
Section: Rear units are being hammered before they even hit deck. Knock out the AA laser mounts on the roofs!
Section can access a quadrotor in a parking lot.
Section: Quad support online. Moving to engage!
Section and the squad move up.
Section: SE1 and 2 are taking key positions to support our advance, so watch your fire! Don't get sidetracked. We're here to shutdown the transmission and kill Menendez.
There is a gunner firing on the squad.
Harper (if alive): Take out that gunner!
The player can access a Kinetic Strike Weapon in a destroyed plane by opening the door using a hydraulic rescue tool.
Section: Kinetic strike weapon is online. Be advised, I'm calling down the thunder!
The squad moves up and reach a staircase.
Section: Keep moving! Get up the stairs!
They fight to the front of the building. There are two CLAWs defending the entrance.
Section: Target building up ahead.
Section (if the player completed Strike Force missions): SE1, we have enemy CLAWs in front of target building. Request fire support.
The CLAWs and enemy resistance are taken out.
Section: Everyone on me! Push into the building!
The squad moves into the building. From this point, the accessible quadrotor and kinetic strike weapon earlier are offline.
Section: Watch your fire! Friendlies upstairs!
The squad clears the front area and head down a staircase.
Section: This way! Downstairs!
The squad enters a room, and special grenade is thrown in. If Section is affected by it.
Section: Damn it! Return fire!
In the top right of the screen, a general appears, talking to Section via a digital uplink of some sort.
General: Lieutenant Commander, we stand on the brink of global catastrophe. America and China face imminent annihilation from Menendez's drones. We're out of time. Locate that control room and shut down the broadcast signals.
They move into a room overlooked by 2 balconies.
Harper (if alive): They're setting up defensive positions! Maintain fire on the lower level! Don't let 'em breathe.
Section can access the enemy ASD to support the squad by hacking it via a keyboard.
Section: Enemy ASD reprogrammed to support!
Navy SEAL: Enemy ASD! Kill it!
The squad clears the room and enter a hallway in the lower level.
Section: Keep moving! Broadcast room's just up ahead! Main effort has located broadcast source. SE1, say status.
Navy SEAL: 100 series building perimeter established.
Section: SE1, switch profile to checkpoint responsibilities. I want this place locked down.
Navy SEAL: Roger that.
The squad enters the broadcast room. There are enemy quads shooting at them.
Harper (if alive): More quads! Take them down!
[or]
Section (if Harper is dead): Enemy quads incoming!
Section: Push forward! We've only got one chance at this!
The room is cleared of enemy soldiers.
Harper (if alive): Clear! Section, shut down the transmission.
Section goes to the keyboard. He attempts to enter commands in the keyboard, but nothing happens.
Section: Ugh, my console crashed. What have you got, can you get in?
Army Ranger: Holy shit. Menendez is transmitting a live webcast. He's on right now!
All the screens in the broadcast room change to Menendez's broadcast. He is talking in front of a brown wall with the Cordis Die symbol on it.
Menendez: ...Opulence is sinful, and we all pay for it. Los Angeles was the flagship of their absurd materialism, so I destroyed it.
Section: I'm locked out, can you hack into the system?
Menendez: They thought I wanted to kill the president.
Section walks over to the Army Ranger on the computer, which has the words "locked" flashing on it.
Army Ranger: We're fucked...
Menendez: Madame Presidentè, I could have buried you a million times over... No... I wanted you to see it, to feel what it's like.
Army Ranger: The drones aren't being controlled from Haiti.
Section: What?
Army Ranger: Sir, there's nothing more we can do. We cannot regain access to the drones.
Section runs over to a computer screen transmitting Menendez's webcast.
Menendez: Today, two billion people exist in abject misery, tyrannized by war.
The webcast changes to a video of drones flying over New York City.
Section: Damn it, he's ready to strike New York! We gotta stop it!
The webcast shows the drones exploding over New York, then over Shanghai and Washington, DC.
Section: What the fuck?
Menendez: Madame Presidentè, your war machines are no more.
Section: He's self destructed the drones.
Army Ranger: Why?
Menendez: Your military is crippled. You cannot stop us now.
Section backs away from the computer screen.
Menendez: Cordis Die, rise, and strike when they are down. Strike now, and strike deep!
The webcast ends and the screens turn black.
Section: Alright. Let's move out.
Section takes out his weapon. There is an Army Ranger standing over a body in an elevator.
Army Ranger: Section, we got a body. One of ours. He's been stripped of his uniform and kit.
The Army Ranger examines the body.
Section: Wait! Don't move him!
But it was too late. The Army Ranger triggers an explosive which destroys the elevator and kills him. One of the army rangers tried to escape but then his corpse flies over at Section after it detonates, and knocks him on the ground. Section moves the corpse out of the way and gets up. An alarm begins sounding.
Navy SEAL: Section, this is SE2. We're monitoring multiple explosions across the facility!
Section: It's Menendez. He's trying to cover his escape. All stations this net. All checkpoints, detain anyone attempting to leave AO... even those in uniform.
Section and Harper (if he is alive) fight through hallways.
Army Ranger: (over comms) Checkpoint 4. We have unidentified persons approaching. Halt! Hands up! Drop your weapons.
Section: Push checkpoint 4's location on my HUD!
Menendez: (American accent over comms) We're Americans! Take it easy.
Army Ranger: (over comms) Orders are no one passes. Stop where you are!
Menendez: (American accent over comms) Relax. We're on the same team.
Section: Checkpoint 4 is down. We need to move!
Section and Harper (if he is alive) make it to a barely door, which they slide under and through. An explosion destroys the floor in front of them which causes them to slide towards the hole. They fall in it, but Section catches himself on a piece of rebar sticking out of the wall. He sees Raul Menendez beginning to leave the room with Merc soldiers and DeFalco (if DeFalco wasn't killed in Karma or Odysseus). DeFalco moves towards Harper and draws his Tac-45, intending to kill him. Section slides down another ramp and takes a KAP-40 from a corpse. He kills a soldier and DeFalco (if DeFalco is not alive, a second soldier is killed) and sees Menendez. Menendez aims a Tac-45 at Section, but before he can shoot, Section stabs him first above the knee, and then in the shoulder. Sitting on top of Menendez, who is on his back, helpless, Section grabs Menendez's Tac-45 and aims it to his head.
Menendez: Martyr me... For Cordis Die...
Section must choose to kill or capture Menendez.
<tabber> Capturing Menendez= Section picks Menendez up from the ground.
Menendez (If Harper is dead): DO IT!!... David.
[or]
Harper (if alive): If it were up to me, you'd be with your sister right now.
Harper removes a piece of steel from his leg.
Section turns Menendez around and walks him outside. Both Menendez and Harper (if alive) walk with a limp. Outside, American forces surround the area.
Harper (if alive): Hey, how about some help over here?
An Army Ranger helps Harper walk away.
Harper (if alive): Later, Section.
Section and Menendez walk to an Army Ranger, who handcuffs him. Menendez turns to Section.
Menendez: I will see you one year from now. Study Ulysses... and be ready.
The Army Ranger takes out a piece of fabric to cover Menendez' mouth.
Section: No.
The Army Ranger puts it away.
Section: He's just a sad old man talking to himself. Let him talk.
2 Army Rangers take Menendez into a VTOL. Section watches as it flies away.
|-|
Killing Menendez=
Section pulls the trigger, killing Menendez at point blank. If Harper is alive, Section then approaches him 
Section: I got you, brother.
Section helps Harper get up
Harper (if alive): You had me worried there. For a minute, I thought you were going to let that bastard live.
Section then walks outside (along with Harper). 
Section: Over here!
Section calls over an Army Ranger who then helps Harper walk away.
Harper (if alive): Later, Section.
Section looks over to find a young boy carrying his sister, trying to ask a JSOC soldier for help. He looks up to see the VTOLs departing.
