## Good Thematics of Iron Wolf

Things that I find are unique to the title (within Warzone) and are great plot elements.

### Worldwide Coupe D'Etat

It is what Iron Wolf was build around, but at some point sorta forgotten. While the aftermath is much more interesting, the sense of being dominated on by a Big Brother, Typhoon's uprising should be much more menacing and realistic (or at least have a solid foundation).

### New Breed of Guerrilla

Another big aspect of Iron Wolf's premise is the new breed of Guerrilla soldier that you play as. While having access to advanced weaponry, the use of it should be much more careful, as to say that if you lose it, you don't have anything spare.

Next to that, the combat tactics of 5 man against the whole world. That's what the Warzone series sorta centers around, especially in the Iron Wolf line. Update the gameplay mechanics perhaps to get sneakier, tactical, but at the same time give more scarce tools (less bombastic military things like Air support).

### More of the Villain

I need to see more sides of him. While I find that the personality of being an empty shell of a man at the end of the war, consumed by regret and being displayed as a Hitler all those years, is interesting, you should see more of the espionage genius, the cunning soldier and ambitious strategist in the early parts of the campaign, so his later demise is more shocking.

Also, his daughter is the key to so much, she is way too underutilized in the current version.

## New Draft - Final

### Post-WW3 until 2023

* A CIA covert op lead by Edward Parker is conducted in the Black Sea region, Ukraine. Burzakov is presumably killed.
* The Red Infection: During Russia’s American Invasion, many secret agents infiltrated and hid amonst the regular American citizen as a sleeper agent. After WW3, Krazny kept access to these Sleeper Agents.
* Edward Parker retires from the military. His wife is murdered in their home by Krazny-loyal assailants, who have remained in the United States after the *Red Infection* during World War III.
* Parker steals classified information from the Pentagon's file archive to deliver to Russian general Burzakov. He is recognized and becomes the target of a Burn Notice.
* Parker double crosses Burzakov with an opponent of Burzakov and goes into hiding in Valetta, Malta, protected by a shadow PMC. There, he decrypts the file and discovers the existence of the Iron Wolf orbital weapon.
* Parker's safehouse is infiltrated by an assassinations team, who consist of former squadmates. Parker persuades them to join him taking action against the United States.
* Krazny members, ordered by Burzakov, sabotage a SitRep on the mission to issue a second assassination team to eliminate Parker.
* Operation: Guillotine is conducted in Valetta, Malta. Parker manages to escape, but his daughter, Sarah Parker, is presumed a casualty. However, in reality to CIA managed to salvage her and raise her in secrecy.
* Parker reforms the Shadow PMC into an anti-American movement called Typhoon.
* Typhoon rises to become an Anti-American Superiority movement and becomes a global phenomenon. They use social media to expose the United States of war crimes and Parker becomes "The Whistleblower", a Saint and Devil at the same time. Some call them a New Age movement, others call the Fundamentalist Terrorists.
* Typhoon raids a CIA Blacksite in Texas and extracts Iron Wolf access. They also assault JFK station, secure the site and arm the orbital weapon.
* Typhoon forces the United States to make amendments or they will use the Orbital weapon against them. They put the entire nation's infrastructure on lockdown.
* Task Force 121 infiltrates JFK station and discover the nature of the WMD as the orbital weapon. The launch software and -codes were stolen at the Black Site and are uploaded at JFK.
* Due to a miscommunication and the pressure of Task Force 121 raiding the platform, Iron Wolf launches it's missiles at the United States as retaliation for the US trying to stop Typhoon. American cities are destroyed.
* The 121 hijack the system, redirect the last few missiles to bury Iron Wolf and it's controls and have it stranded in space, disarming Typhoon for almost a decade.
* Typhoon frames the missile strikes as a desperate attempt from the US government to defeat Typhoon at the cost of its own citizens. Rallying many disillusioned citizens behind them, Typhoon installs a new government in the havoc and completes their takeover of the United States.
* Typhoon goes on to rally other losers of WW3 (China and Russia) behind them, and puts pressure on the other nations of the world, who are still feeling the aftermath of WW3. A new global organization is set up, the Global State of Order, with Typhoon's America leading the organization.
* The Global State of Order becomes a totalitarian form of the United Nations, where Typhoon wields the fear of death and destruction (from WW3 to the US' "martyr bombing") to introduce many Orwellian aspects to all nations in the world.

### Over the decade that follows

* Spike travels to London under a fake ID, but still is the target of an MI5 burn notice. He survives the assault on his life with the help of an anonymous contractor who gets him on a plane to Australia, one of the few nations not in the GSO.
* Spike meets with the anonymous contractor, named Ryan Mason, an MI6 operative and former handler of SAS operatives. He tells Spike that while the officials at MI5, who are becoming part of the GSO, don't want him alive due to his connection to the truth, MI6 has issued Mason to get information regarding the Iron Wolf threat. Spike agrees to the deal and sets up a life in Sydney.
* California now becomes *The Resistance State*, isolating themselves from Typhoon controlled America.
* Saint now voluntarily travels to California to join the Resistance. He uses his father's old training notes to acquire proficiency in combat and develops an (unhealthy) relationship with a stray german shepherd, which he trains like his dad trained their own dog.
* Calvin Silex is attacked by a guerilla force in his home, but manages to fend off most of the attacks. He eventually gets surrounded and is asked to travel with them to their outpost.
* Silex joins the Guerilla Force as an operative.
* Saint gains a reputation as a talented soldier, even without proper military training. He cites the source to be his father’s diary.

### 2033

* AFO Predator is a small, but highly trained and among the last military organ remaining in California. The entire military only exists with a small fleet, with AFO Predator being the only Special Operations Force deployed on the ground.
* Information raid in Montana leads to John Makovic as a prominent name appearing on Typhoon’s WMD program, but now has become a target of elimination as he has been known to leak data to MI6. AFO Predator extracts him, obtaining location of one of Makovic’ production facilities to be in Brazil.
* Expecting the mission to be much harder and far into enemy territory, AFO Predator recruits resistance prodigy Saint as extra manpower for the mission.
* Intel found in the Brazilian Factory about the project reveals the origin to be non-nuclear, but doesn’t disclose what kind of munition the missiles use. The team locates a Typhoon Supreme Commander in Caracas, causing the team to redirect en-route.
	+ In the Line it is discovered that Typhoon is nearing final phases of rearming Iron Wolf and mentions of a new "station" in the Arctic circle, which they initially believe to be a nuclear/ICBM submarine of some kind. The scope of the weapon is unknown.
* The infiltration in Caracas goes awry. The city is buried by exploding the city's dam using a test fire of the rebuild Iron Wolf weapon, flooding the city and forcing out the Predators.
* The Caracas affair catches MI6’s attention, causing Mason to dig into California’s military files, unveiling Spike’s adopted son to have been part of the Caracas operation. They sneak Spike into mainland America (as California has been isolated the last few years). They send a cryptic message that only Saint understands to be his former home.
* They extract Spike from enemy territory, taking him back for interrogation.
* Spike reveals the origins of Typhoon through Operation: Guillotine and the Typhoon Black Site raid.
* He reveals that a former CIA asset is being held prisoner on the Bahamas. The Fleet opens an assault on the prison and extract the asset, who is revealed to be Wrecker. The mission is a success, but their last ship is heavily damaged during the assault, making Wolfhound question whether Wrecker (a friend of Spike) was worth it.
* Back in custody, he reveals that the CIA is still active around the world, performing espionage missions on Typhoon. He also reveals the CIA has kept Parker’s daughter Sarah hidden, as well as Parker's current whereabouts. Wrecker uses his server log-in to get the intel to the Predators, who have to split up to complete both objectives.
* Saint, Prophet, and Deuce go to Dubai to extract Sarah, but the intel given to them is false, as Wrecker has been deemed compromised. The CIA are unwilling to give up their leverage over Parker to 'some patriotic imbeciles' and fed false intel to the Predator team.
* They instead infiltrate the CIA operation's tower to find any intel related to Sarah, finding heavy resistance along their path. A munitions depot creates a chain of explosions which send the building to collapse.
* They learn about the location of Sarah in the Oasis hotel. Saint gets to her, dispatching of her security detail harmlessly. He convinces her to go with them, after he tells her they will help her stop her father.
* Time rewinds an hour. During Just Cause, Parker is targeted by the other squad in China. After visiting a Tungsten mine in China, he boards a train on the Hunan-Xinjiang-Guangzhou Railway. With Sarah's whereabouts unknown at the time the operation commences, they switch the order from capture to kill.
* A loose shot sends Cardinal of the train into a lake, presumed to be dead with MedEvac being unavailable. In reality, he is captured by Typhoon troops and suffers from brain damage due to blood loss and asphyxiation.
* Spike reveals them how they tried to stop Typhoon from unleashing Iron Wol by infiltrating JFK Station, but failed in doing so. It is revealed Iron Wolf is an orbital bombardment station remotely controlled from earth.
* They sabotage the last of the launches to target vital points of Iron Wolf, including the Blacksite and JFK Station.
* Psycho sacrificed himself by staying behind in the control room, waiting for Wrecker and Spike to get out of range, before burying JFK Station with a target Iron Wolf strike, disarming the weapon for the next decade.
* Parker uses the assassination attempt as a Casus Belli and orders Iron Wolf station to be armed and ready to fire again. AFO Predator uses the information gathered from the Brazilian factory to deduce that the new station is in the Arctic (It's located in the Northern Hemisphere to prioritize targetting America, Europe, Russia and China).
* The Predators, under command of Seraph, infiltrate the satellite array, but can't prevent the first rods from hitting California because the controls are actually on board of Parker's private plane, the Storm's Eye. They instead decide to bury the entire facility like Spike did with JFK Station to sever communications, plummeting it into the arctic depths of the seas.
* After crippling California's defenses, Typhoon invades the Resistance State to bring it to its knees. AFO Predator return to aid the last of the defenders amidst the ruined California. Spike breaks off to search for the Storm's Eye and Parker.
* The Predators manage to fend off the first wave of invaders, but their priorities shift to taking down Parker's aerial convoy, after Spike locates the Storm's Eye. They retake their airbase and commence a counterattack.
* Unnamed fighter pilot dogfights Parker's escorts. After the skies are cleared, AFO Predator move in and hijack and board the Storm's Eye midair.
* The plane begins to decouple from the hijacking plane, making the descent towards the control center more difficult, dealing with turbulence.
* Saint manages to enter the control room, finding a TSC, but not Parker. Spike reveals to the Predators he had other plans for Parker.
* Spike had travelled with Sarah to an undisclosed location's church, after which he had used it as bait for Parker to confront him. He had given him a heads up where Sarah would be, making him walk into a trap as he had boobytrapped the church prior with Wrecker.
* Eventually, Spike thins out Parker's escorts, resulting in a final confrontation between him, Sarah and Parker.
* This ends badly for all 3 of them... but at least Typhoon crumbles without their leader and the Iron Wolf weapon.
